Remove Host File

Detailed instructions:

1. Open Terminal, then type the following:

Code:
sudo nano /etc/hosts
2. Find this line in your hosts file and delete it:

Code:
74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com
3. Alternatively, If you want to preserve the line, you can place a '#' at the start of the line to ignore it, so it looks like this:

Code:
#74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com
4. Press control+o and hit enter to save.

5. Try your update again.

Re: WWDC 2011

They'll ask you for your device ID. Which means your iPhone isn't rejected when you try and install. No idea how they let you get to the file though. Unless you have to do that bit yourself.

Re: WWDC 2011

I got a slot off of eBay, was painless.

The seller just added my serial number to his account - simples!

Re: WWDC 2011

Thanks guys, I will give it ago. Not that good when it comes to things like this so I may give up half way through, and just wait until it is released properly lol.

Re: WWDC 2011

Damn to needing a MAC lol

Re: WWDC 2011

I got it on my iPad, paid a guy a £5 to add me on his account for lifetime, so I can get io6 in the future

 

[AK]

Love the notification centre

 

[Adam]

Re: WWDC 2011

Yeah it is good, and its become second nature already with me. Its great just having a list of notifications rather than having things pop up left right and centre interrupting what you are trying to do!

Do you need a Mac?

 

[Tom]

Re: WWDC 2011

Yup, don't do it if you aren't a developer.

 

[Gavin.]

Re: WWDC 2011

gutted, I was just thinking about getting a developer slot from ebay. I thought you could do it on faildows though

 

[AK]

You can.

I did.

Re: WWDC 2011

No you don't, they released iTunes 10.5 beta for windows. Worked fine on xp

 

[Gavin.]

Re: WWDC 2011

cool! thats my afternoon taken up then

 

[Gavin.]

Re: WWDC 2011

Got is up and running, I like it although iTunes 10.5 beta does not like my pauper windows machine

 

[AK]

Re: WWDC 2011

If it's the fact it doesn't fit the screen properly it happens on Macs too.

 

[Gavin.]

Re: WWDC 2011

No it just hangs all the time and now and again wont load the sync service and requires a reboot

Re: WWDC 2011

Re: WWDC 2011

iOS 5 beta 2 is up peeps. Haven't Installed it yet, just to note it obviously cannot be done via the software update in settings.

Re: WWDC 2011

anyone fancy adding me on?

Can you update it by just plugging it into iTunes or do you need to download the beta 2 from somewhere first?

As with all betas you need to get it from the apple dev site or elsewhere unofficially. Means shift/option restore which isn't as bad as it used to be, now with the cloud it's no big deal

 

[AK]

Re: WWDC 2011

Ah cool. Will have a search later on for an unofficial source :rasp:

 

[RoryW]

Re: WWDC 2011

Plenty out there it seems. Didn't someone post a link in this thread? Might have been removed?

 

[Revels]

Re: WWDC 2011

Any links will be deleted and infractions issued.

Thanks.

 

[Adam]

Re: WWDC 2011

I presume you do it via a restore again and find the beta 2 ipsw file.

 

[Adam]

Re: WWDC 2011

iPhone and iPad done

 

[TST4R]

Re: WWDC 2011

FaceTime doesn't work on beta 2

 

[BatFastard]

Re: WWDC 2011

Absolutely awful battery life on Beta 2, either going to go back to Beta 1 or 4.3, on just over half now with a full nights charge and only music playing. iCloud is off apart from Find My iPhone, Wifi and Location services is off on the majority of my apps.

Re: WWDC 2011

Yeah its pretty bad.

Re: WWDC 2011

I've finally managed to get registered as a developer, taken me 3 weeks (done it as a business) anyhow, I was going through the licensing and it states the following;

Devices updated to iOS 5 beta can not be restored to earlier versions of iOS. Devices will be able to upgrade to future beta releases and the final iOS 5 software.

I read this as I could not go back to 4.3, so do my colleagues. I don't so how they can stop you though, could anyone explain please ? (Tom, if you, be gentle please!)

Just because Apple say you can't doesn't mean its impossible

 

[Revels]

Re: WWDC 2011

It's not that you're not allowed, it's that it won't actually allow you to do it because of the differences in software. It is possibly if you do it manually though.

 

[Gavin.]

Re: WWDC 2011

I actually find beta2's battery life better than beta1

 

[BatFastard]

Re: WWDC 2011

Wish I did. Although beta 1 was worse then 4.3 I could at least get a full day out of it. Beta 2 went down to 10% just before I left work at 5pm and was able to plug it into my car.

 

[sneeks]

Re: WWDC 2011

I gave up with beta 1 and restored my iPhone to 4.3 again in iTunes. I'll skip beta 2 and possibly await the final release.

 

[AK]

Re: WWDC 2011

How do you go back to 4.3 ?
