What the FBI is really asking of Apple.
Free up valuable hard drive space by getting rid of unused iPhone Apps in iTunes
Free up valuable hard drive space by getting rid of unused iPhone Apps in iTunes
I was trying to discover what was taking up large amounts of space on my MacBook Pro; while investigating I discovered that there was a little over 15GB of iOS apps in my iTunes folder. The vast majority of the apps that were on my Mac weren’t on my iPhone, therefore I wanted to get rid of them. The issue I ran into was trying to figure out if I could safely delete these iOS apps. Fortunately, I discovered a nice write-up from the from Chris on the OWC blog that I was able to successfully follow and I figured I’d share it with others. Go give it a read, it could save you a few GB of hard drive space.
Absinthe 2.0 is out
Which means iOS 5.1.1 is able to be jailbroken untethered on my iPhone 4s, and that my friends, is good news.
Took the plunge
My jailbroken iPhone 4s had been acting up during the past few days. From time to time Alien Blue hadn’t been logging me into my accounts, and Mail would just plain ol’ not work until I rebooted my phone (even a respring didn’t solve these issues).
With these two very annoying problems in mind I decided to bite the bullet and attempt to restore to iOS 5.0.1 (which shouldn’t be possible). To do this I downloaded a copy of Redsn0w 0.9.11b2 and followed this excellent step by step guide over at Redmond Pie. The only other items required to restore to 5.0.1 were the iOS .ipsw files for 5.0.1 and 5.1.1. Once I procured those from this lovely download page at iJailbreak the rest was simple. I just followed those instructions and my phone was restored to iOS 5.0.1 in no time at all!
Needless to say, I’m feeling like a boss.
Good News!
The new Dacia Sandero! Just kidding, there’s now a way to downgrade the firmware on my iPhone 4s in case I ever completely destroy its software and need to re-jailbreak.
