The Technological World Today

Welcome!

This is the Apple section of the support. This is just for helping with any and all apple products and problems, concerns, cool things related to them.

Wireless

As you must know or have had been a victim of this, some of the apple products (ipod and macs) do not function on a router. This is a growing problem and now one really has the answer to. I decided to solve this problem so that the world may enjoy the internet in the pal of their hands. I will post guides to solving this, but if you have a question, post it somewhere on my site or email me at yonktech.webs.com.

First, make sure your screens look exactly like this, if they aren't, email me.

Iphone and Ipod

As you may know there are the the new ipods with wifi. Many have bought these products with the intent of using the wifi the most. But, like most devices, sometimes this feature does not work. Thats where I come in. I am going to investigate the wifi reliability the older iPhone with the new iPhone. So keep looking here for new updates.

Update: Well it seems that the only new things added to Apples devices is better accelerometers, they are all around faster, and the ability to have apps. This basically sums up the new additions to the Apple iPhone. In the near future i will have a comparison chart for you to look at.

Update: I decided to just go on and do all the ipods, so stay tuned for more reviews coming in each day!

Jailbreaking

You probably have heard this term once or twice or constantly. You may wonder what it is. A quick summary is that you are adding third party applications onto the ipod that Apple has not approved. You are taking the firmware on the ipod and modifying it so that it will allow third party applications. I believe that this is unnecessary and can break your ipod. Almost anything you can do with jailbreak, can be done without and i will show you this in a minute. If you are still not convinced, consider this: IT IS ILLEGAL AND VIOLATES APPLE'S POLICY AND TERMS OF USE. If you actually read that stuff it actually states that they are allowed to confiscate the device if it is found with these third party apps by a staff member of Apple. So dont do something stupid like jailbreaking, and then bringing it to a store to have it fixed, becuase you need to buy a new one. The most popular thing that is usually done with this jailbreaking is icon changing. Most people with an Ipod Touch use this to make it look like an iphone. This DOES NOT require jailbreak, and this is proof:

iPhone w/ newest firmware:

iPod Touch WITHOUT JAILBREAK:

See? Almost identical. This is much better than messing with the firmware isnt it? You may be thinking, "oh, well you cant get it to say AT&T, can you?" No I cannot so far, but who cares. Most people thought that this ipod was an iphone BEFORE it even had apps like phone, ipod, camera, and sms. If you have questions or comments you can email me (about us) or contact me through forums (name: Macintosh).
