in How To Fix a Broken Mail App in iPhone on menooB
@Jamie

That's great.

I heard there is another solution using Boss Prefs on a 2.x iPhone. Click on "More" and then "Fix User Dir Permission".

I haven't tried it yet though. =)

in Globe Releases 3G iPhone Pricing : Hold On to Your Old One! on menooB
Unless you really need to use 3G and your service provider offers unlimited 3G access (unlike Globe), then your old iPhone will still serve you very well with little to distinguish from the new iPhone--if you know what I mean.

Thanks Becky!

Since you are moving to a new domain, you will lose your old Google pagerank. However, you can quickly recover this as your subscribers are automatically redirected to your new site and new visitors come in. Old links will remain pointed to your old blog but anyone clicking on them will be redirected to your new one.

Maybe a problem on how you pwned it? Try pwning it again.

After your iPhone gets updated to 2.0.1, perform this tutorial again. Syncing to iTunes will bring back your apps.

Thanks Francisco and WiseYoda!

@Enrique

On your iPhone, yes. Easy to sync with iTunes after doing the other tutorial again.

Oops, it does work on 2.0.1. You just have to perform the procedure again.

Well, it looks like this method no longer works with firmware 2.0.1. :-(

in Turn Your PC into a Mac… on menooB
Thanks for the comments powertoola or is it powertyuutr? There is no single solution for creating a Hackintosh because of the myriad of PC hardware out there. I have tried iATKOS and Kalyway among others since Tiger, and so far, iATKOS v1.0ir2 has been the most stable and problem-free 10.5.1 installer on my hardware. iATKOS v1.0ir2 + Kalyway 10.5.2 is best for the 10.5.2 version and iATKOS v1.0ir2 + Mysticus 10.5.3 is the best for 10.5.3. Currently, iATKOS v_4i is working best on my PC than any other installer combinations for 10.5.4.

So, if Kalyway works best for you then good for you. Just don't trash the other installers as they work great for other people. Best of all, they're given away for free so why complain?

in Downgrade from iPhone 2.0 to 1.1.4 Firmware on menooB
Thanks Brian. Yes, this is a good addition to the guides for moving back to 1.1.4 after upgrading to 2.0. It's not a simple process so we need all the tutorials we can get and hope one of them works for us.

in Redirecting WordPress.com to WordPress.org on menooB
Hi Lisa,

Yes, your old blog on WP.com will still be searchable in search engines. However, because of the auto redirect, people clicking on the old blog links from search results will see your new blog on your new domain (remember to adjust your Permalinks if necessary). WP.com ranks high in search engines because it is highly optimized and therefore blogs on it benefit too. Expect though that initially, your new blog will lose the traffic you're normally getting from your old blog. Over time, around a month or so, search engines will start pointing to your new blog, provided you continue to create interesting posts and do your own site search engine optimization.

Although I haven't reached a year of redirecting myself, I believe you won't be needing to renew your WP.com redirection after a year. After a little over a month, my own searches on Google shows my new blog in search results while I haven't seen my WP.com blog anymore.

in Google: “Don’t Be Evil” on menooB
Trust them? I sure hope so because we have no other choice and it's too late to get back all the info they have on us, even if we can. I trust the Google techie guys but let's be wary of the business people. After all, money is the root of all evil and their slogan is aptly intended for those who manage their billions.

Sorry James, I don't have ownership to the Mysticus file so I can't just upload it anywhere without permission. Just follow the link above. New sites for downloads are being updated once in a while.

This solution for fixing your mouse tear is from the uphuck forums:

1) Download the GMA950.zip file from the link below and extract the GMA950 folder to Desktop.
http://www.sendspace.com/file/b2b2is
2) Go to the Applications folder, then Utilities, then open up Terminal
3) In Terminal, type the following commands

sudo su (then enter your password)

rm -R /system/library/extensions/AppleIntelGMA950.kext

rm -R /system/library/extensions/AppleIntelGMA950GA.plugin

rm -R /system/library/extensions/AppleIntelGMA950GLDriver.bundle

rm -R /system/Library/extensions/AppleIntelGMA950VADriver.bundle

rm -R /system/Library/extensions/AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer.kext

cp -R /Users/your-username here/Desktop/GMA950/AppleIntelGMA950.kext /System/Library/Extensions/

cp -R /Users/your-username here/Desktop/GMA950/AppleIntelGMA950GA.plugin/System/Library/Extensions/

cp -R /Users/your-username here/Desktop/GMA950/AppleIntelGMA950GLDriver.bundle /System/Library/Extensions/

cp -R /Users/your-username here/Desktop/GMA950/AppleIntelGMA950VADriver.bundle /System/Library/Extensions/

cp -R /Users/your-username here/Desktop/GMA950/Natit.kext /System/Library/Extensions/

chmod -R 755 /system/library/extensions/AppleIntelGMA950.kext

chown -R root:wheel /system/library/extensions/AppleIntelGMA950.kext

chmod -R 755 /system/library/extensions/AppleIntelGMA950GA.plugin

chown -R root:wheel /system/library/extensions/AppleIntelGMA950GA.plugin

chown -R root:wheel /system/library/extensions/AppleIntelGMA950VADriver.bundle

chmod -R 755 /system/library/extensions/AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer.kext

chown -R root:wheel /system/library/extensions/AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer.kext

chmod -R 755 /system/library/extensions/Natit.kext

chown -R root:wheel /system/library/extensions/Natit.kext

kextcache -k /System/Library/Extensions

6) Choose your macintosh partition and repair disk permissions
7) Once it is finished, close Disk Utility and restart your computer

You need to use the Terminal app and not open it in Finder.

in Upgrading to iPhone version 1.1.3 using Ziphone on menooB
@hugh

According to Zibri, a 1.0.2 needs to be "virginized" first if the "iunlock" method was used to unlock before. Otherwise, it's safe to upgrade directly to 1.1.3.

@Charles

While some encountered problems with ZiPhone, many more are successful in using it. You may want to try and restore back to 1.1.3 in iTunes and repeat with ZiPhone.

I'm not sure what's causing your boot problem. You can try -r -x or cpus=1. Make sure your partition is MBR not GUID. You can also try different options in the Customize of the installation disc. I did that myself several times until I found what works for my PC.

I'm not sure what's wrong. If you followed the steps exactly, it should work as it did on mine and others who did the same thing.

I've heard of people successfully installing Leopard on a Pentium 4 as long as it supports SSE2 or SSE3. EFI only supports Core2Duo though.

@Stat.Mech

Thanks for the info. I will try it if and when I have a problem with my hackintosh. Right now it is working perfectly fine (including Apple's software updates). Besides, I have not been able to make my rig work without including the SSE2/SSE3 kernel patch in both 10.5.1 and 10.5.2. Others may want to try it though.

Check your BIOS and see if you have SATA set to AHCI.

@ kashly

I am sure your rig will work with OSx86 but never assume my procedure will be perfect for you. It is only by trying that you will find out and by further readings on the Web will you know what will best work for you. Good luck.
