Are you still running iOS 3.x.x on your iPhone? If so, you should go ahead and update to iOS 4.01. The reason I suggest this is that Apple has patched the security flaw that made the latest jailbreak possible, and you’ll soon be unable to grab 4.01.

With Apple’s release of iOS 4 just around the corner, you might be wondering how to stop iTunes from automatically updating the system software on your iPhone or iPod Touch. This is particularly important if you’ve decided to jailbreak your device.
Interested in jailbreaking your iPhone, but wondering if it’s safe to use iTunes and/or the App Store after you’ve done the deed? Worry no more… You will be able to continue using both iTunes and the App Store after you jailbreak your device.
You’ll also be able to start using Cydia, which is essentially an App Store for jailbreak-related apps. So go right ahead and jailbreak your device. Just don’t let iTunes update the OS on your device until the new version has been jailbroken.

While trying to restore my iPhone earlier tonight (it’s a long story), I ran into an iTunes error that was preventing me from re-activating my phone. After a bit of digging, however, I stumbled onto the solution.
If you ever mess up your iPhone or iPod to the point that you need to restore it and start from scratch, you’ll need to put it into “Recovery Mode.” Start by powering it down — simply hold the home button for 5 seconds and move the slider to the right.
My son’s iPod Touch has been been giving us a bit of trouble recently. Whenever he plugs it in, it claims to be synchronizing but instead it re-copies everything. While that might not sound like a huge deal, he has the 64GB model loaded with a ton of movies, and it takes a long time to complete the process.
I have an iPhone and my son has an iPod Touch. Until recently, we’ve been frustrated by our inability to share apps that one of us buys. Fortunately, we’ve since figured out how to share apps without re-buying them, and it doesn’t even violate the iTunes user agreement.
Have you ever wondered where Mac OS X stores your iPhone or iPod apps? If so, then you’ve come to the right place…
Have you ever wondered where Windows stores your iPhone or iPod apps? If so, then you’ve come to the right place… Note that the following assumes you are using Windows XP. Unfortunately, I don’t have access to Windows Vista, Windows 7, etc.
