For the Apple lovers
« on: 12 July 2011, 21:45 »
Right, dont get started on the iPhone is sh1te tip again :rolleyes:
BUT i need advice on how to update the bloody phone to the latest iOS4.3.3  Problem is, I have an older MacBook still running OS10.4.11 and iTunes states it needs to be 10.5 or higher to install iTunes 10+, and without this the iTunes states there is a new iOS for the phone but when you click upgrade it doenst bother and states "the latest version of iTunes is already installed" which clearly it isnt!!!! DFM  :grin:

So, is there a work around or any genuine helpful advice on how to do this without jailbreaking the damn thing...God knows its tempting with Apple proving to be c0cksuckers...how can you update an iOS thats deliverable via iTunes and then stops people with older versions without expecting people to slag them off for being greedy...and I know I can get 10.5 as a boxed package for £29 but its besides the point!!! The Mac aint broke and it works well without being bloated with loads of sh1te :lipsrsealed:

VirtualBox, install Windows (easier than installing OS X) install itunes, use the USB passthrough to connect the iphone to the virtual PC and update it. (If that works, never tried updating an iphone that way and probably very experimental, but I think you'd be the first :grin: )

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

If you had an HTC you'd get proper smooth updates.

80% of your posts are total tripe, as they are mostly replies to sh1te posts created by the morons that, unfortunately this forum attracts.
