1: PLUG YOUR IPOD INTO YOUR COMPUTER!!!

2: HOLD THE "HOLD" AND THE "MENU" BUTTON UNTIL THE TOUCH'S SCREEN GOES BLACK AND SHOWS THE APPLE LOGO AGAIN THEN RELEASE THE BUTTONS!!!

3: WAIT ABOUT 5-15 MINUTES!!!

4: YOUR COMPUTER WILL MAKE A "CHIME" SOUND AND THEN THE IPOD WILL SHOW THE LOCKED SCREEN WITH THE BATTERY LOGO...

This works every time for me when my ipod crashes, the screen is stuck on the apple logo or if the screen goes white...

How to download previously purchased apps, songs, and books in iTunes

7:53:00 PM

Heard about Apple’s iCloud beta and wondering how you can use it to download all your previously purchased apps, songs, and books in iTunes? Well you’re in luck, because with iTunes 10.3, it’s easy (although music is currently limited to US users only. Sigh.) Read on to find out how, after the break.

[Inside iTunes]

Here’s how to re-download your apps, music, and books:

1. Launch iTunes on your Mac or PC

2. Find the Quick Links section in the store toolbar at the top right

3. Click on the Purchased link

4. Navigate through your app, music, and book purchases

5. You can choose between complete purchase history for each category, or Not in my Library to see just what’s missing on your machine

6. Click the iCloud button next to anything you want to pull back down to your local library, or click Download All to restore everything you’ve ever bought.

How to Jailbreak iOS 4.3.3 via JailbreakMe including iPad 2

Wondering how to jailbreak using the just-released JailbreakMe.com exploit? It is probably the easiest jailbreak yet, and we will walk you through it step by step after the break.

There is no need to use your computer; it is all done on your iOS device. We would recommend that you fully backup your device using iTunes prior to any jailbreak. This is always a good thing to do, just in case something should go wrong.

JailbreakMe compatibility

iPad 2: iOS 4.3.3
iPad: iOS 4.3 to 4.3.3
iPhone 4: iOS 4.3 to 4.3.3 (Verizon 4.2.6 to 4.2.8)
iPhone 3GS: iOS 4.3 to 4.3.3
iPod touch 4: iOS 4.3 to 4.3.3
iPod touch 3: iOS 4.3 to 4.3.3

JailbreakMe step by step

1. Make sure your device is running iOS 4.3 to 4.3.3 or 4.2.6 to 4.2.8 for the Verizon iPhone. The iPad 2 must be running the latest iOS 4.3.3 software.

2. Back up your device again using iTunes.

3. Once you have backed up your device, open Safari on your iOS device and go to www.jailbreakme.com//

4. Once the page has opened, you should see the following screen

5. Click on the “FREE” button under the Cydia icon, this will then change to “INSTALL”.

6. Click on “INSTALL” button and it will dump you back to the home screen.

7. You should now see the Cydia brown icon installing on your home screen.Once complete, open Cydia by tapping on the icon on your home screen

8. Select one of the three user options, normally User. Hit done, which will appear in the top right of the box when you have selected Who Are You.

9. That’s it, you’re done! You should now see the Cydia home screen on your device. It is now jailbroken and you have full access to all the Cydia jailbreak goodness!
