Re: iPhone on IOS5

I guess you've learnt your lesson about running beta software on your main device.

Re: iPhone on IOS5

Yeah but that doesn't really help my predicament ..

Can you not re-install 4.x.x iOS?

Betas are fine. Using a dev account for which you have zero control is the problem.

If the pictures mean that much to you then $99 should be peanuts ...

Re: iPhone on IOS5

nope won't let me.

Even if he could he'd lose all his current data and also wouldn't be able to restore this iOS 5 backups. As they aren't backwards compatible.

 

[Adam]

Re: iPhone on IOS5

Yeah but at least you would have a working phone. Im sure people on MR have downgraded back to iOS4.

 

[Adam]

Re: iPhone on IOS5

In fact you can as my mate did it as he wasn't happy with one of the early beta's!

He just downloaded the latest iOS4 IPSW file and restored to that.

 

[Danny133]

Re: iPhone on IOS5

you can downgrade .. i did it once before but this time won't let me ..

 

[Revels]

Re: iPhone on IOS5

If it's bricked, you're going to need to restore. No matter what version is currently out, it isn't going to back up first.

You're only real hope is getting your ID re-registered. Just pay for the dev account and save the pictures.

 

[Danny133]

Re: iPhone on IOS5

i need to find a Dev to help me register it - either for or not for a fee

with a pregnant mrs & a wedding booked and half paid for £99 isn't pocket change atm and i just aint got it ..

Exactly why all my contacts are on google and synced to my iPhone.

Re: iPhone on IOS5

It's $99 so should cost you roughly £60-£65. It cost me £59 last year but I didn't bother to renew when it expired.

This Google Sync is for winners.

 

[Scrooge]

Re: iPhone on IOS5

Sync is so handy when changing handsets.

Re: iPhone on IOS5

Get Linux and just copy the files you need across, read this article.

http://www.iphonehacks.com/2010/05/iphone-exploit-allows-access-to-data-even-with-a-passcode.html

If you can get the iPhone to turn on and be recognised then you should be able to get what you need, then restore.

 

[olliewebbuk]

Re: iPhone on IOS5

It's bricked, G3 NYX. You won't be able to do that.

Winner winner chicken dinner .

Re: iPhone on IOS5

i loose all photos from my stream that i have of the pregnant mrs and of our nursery in the making - she would axe me if i lost them ..

i lost them all before just from doing a sync .. all i want to do is literally get my UDID registered and turn it on so it works as it should again lol

This happened to my own phone today, I have a developer account.

Use image capture on the mac, that will grab all your pics.

Your phone still works i.e everything is running in the background, however, you can't really access it.

Things like your notes and all that, you're fucked unless you have a backup on itunes.

I'm fucked, because I didnt backup my HD properly when I upgraded to Lion, and lost the library with my iphone backup.

Good luck.

Can IOS5 go backwards?

Can i revert to 4.3.5?

When i try to do it in recovery mode it hangs for 10 minutes then gives me an error and locks my phone into recovery.

I then have to restore using the 5.0 ISPW

Anybody know why? :S

Get hold of iREB

http://www.iphoneheat.com/2011/02/download-ireb-rc3-for-ios-4-2-14-1-x4-0-x/

Run that and it will let you install without an error.

2011 MacBook Air 11"

I had a 13" MBP and honestly couldnt fault it. Upgraded the RAM again and installed Lion. Fantastic machine, fast, portable, stylish.

Anyway, found myself wandering around the house with it - and it was heavy! (not as heavy as some other windows bricks) but heavy.

Today traded it for a 2011 11" Air, 4GB RAM, 128SSD. WOW s**t on a stick!

I thought for days oh f**k im gonna regret this on a shitty 11" screen. But i cant genuinely notice the size difference between this and the 13". Its stupid fast - battery life is awesome .. I had to call applecare as i had a problem. My machine was restarting and rebooting faster than he could read his script lol!

If anybodys thinking of buying a MB anytime soon ..

MacBook Air 11" - A f**king star!

Re: 2011 MacBook Air 11"

Had a look and play tonight but opted for the MacBook pro

 

[jenic]

Re: 2011 MacBook Air 11"

I need to swap my MBP for an air really.

I needed it with me today, but I left it at home due to how big and heavy it is to transport. An air would of been ideal.

 

[Sym0n]

Re: 2011 MacBook Air 11"

I don't get the point, why not get the 13" MBP? For the same price you get a better processor, larger HDD (fair enough the Air has SSD but capicity is more a concern for me than the slight weight increase or load speed) and 2" larger viewable screen area.

If you have to lug even a 13" MBP about regularly, then you'll realise just how heavy it is. The Air is significantly lighter.

If you have to lug around 2 13" laptops regularly, then you'll definitely realise how heavy they are.

Plus the Air has better resolution screen.

 

[rankins]

Re: 2011 MacBook Air 11"

I was lugging a 15.6 hp laptop for months, the 13.3 Mbp will be easy compared to that, the air is superb it's really quick

 

[Sym0n]

Re: 2011 MacBook Air 11"

TBH I am rarely anywhere that I need a laptop/netbook...so for me the extra ~1kg of the MBP wouldn't be an issue. The screen res is a fair point though, but how much this would factor in on a 11" screen I'm not sure about. I'd still rather have a much larger capacity HDD and much better processor for my money.
