iPhone Tip: Put Club Cards On Your Phone As Pictures

While this might not work for cards you have to slide through a magnetic reader, the idea is definitely sound. Just take pictures of your club cards (Costco, Safeway, Blockbuster), import them into your iPhone as an album, and trim down the number of cards you have to carry in your wallet. When you need to use a card, just whip out your phone and show it to the cashier, hoping that they don’t get too uppity about your cleverness. If they do, just throw your phone at their head à la Naomi Campbell. ['t Is Goud via Lifehacker]

How To Put Movies On Your Iphone

Do you want need to learn how to put movies on your iPhone? Many iPhone owners want to take advantage of their brand new iPhones but the problem is that they don’t know how to do so and what website they should use to download movies on their iPhones. In this article you learn exactly how to do that.

As a movie buff, you have always been proud of the fact that you can name all of Stanley Kubrick’s movies in order of release and have memorized every line from every John Waters movie. Besides that you know every independent flick that has come out in the last decade. The easiest way to add to your knowledge is with an iPhone. It’s not just for talking; you can watch movies on the iPhone as well.

There are different ways to get movies onto your iPhone. But if you want to get your massive collection from your shelf into your iPhone to freshen up on Quentin Tarantino’s foot fetish, just follow these simple steps.

First you have to get software that will rip your DVDs into a different format. You will need to convert your DVD into an mp4 file because that is the format the iPhone reads for your movies. This software is easy to find. However, there are many different options out there. You can go to http://www.download.com and check what is available. Here you will find freeware, shareware and software you can buy. The site also has user reviews for most of the products and Net reviews for the more popular brands. The good thing about a lot of the programs is you can test it before buying it. The program allows you to run a trial period. This way you can find the one that is best for you. Once you have found software that is efficient and easy to use, start converting your movies.

Once you have converted the movies, put them into iTunes. This is how you transfer movies to your iPhone.

If it sounds like a lot of work, don’t worry. There are other ways to get movies. You can download them straight from the Internet, but this is risky if you aren’t careful. P2p and torrent sites are plagued with viruses and spyware. These sites are also illegal and could get you into trouble before you even had a chance to watch any movies.

There are pay sites that offer downloads, which are good. You pay a one-time access fee that ranges up to $50. You get to choose from thousands of files and never have to pay again. It’s quite simple and easy to use. This also reduces the amount of time it takes to get a movie onto your iPhone because you skip the step of ripping the movie into a readable format. These sites have done the hard work for you.

Enjoy your new protable DVD player, I mean, iPhone. You’ll never miss another Johnny Depp/Tim Burton collaboration again while watching movies on your iPhone.Article Source: http://www.webmastertips.us/story

Unlock your iPhone v1.1.3 to work with any SIM card

So, with the newly updated anySIM v1.3 software ready to rock your iPhone’s SIM-world, I’m sure some of you wondering just what it takes to unlock your iPhone v1.1.3, so here it is:

  1. Make sure your iPhone v1.1.3 has baseband 4.03.13_G firmware (you can check this under Settings>General>About>Modem Firmware .
  2. Verify that you are running the bootloader version 3.9 and NOT bootloader version 4.6.
    If you are unsure, check your serial number (we’re looking at the 3rd, 4th, and 5th number in the sequence. If you see “745″ or lower, than chances are you have the 3.9 bootloader (unless you messed with the bootloader specifically).The 3rd number (”7″) indicates the year of manufacture, the 4th and 5th numbers indicate the week of manufacture.If you have “745″ or higher (750, for example), you’ll want to double check your bootloader version. To do that, fire up Installer.app and add “installer.iclarified.com” to your “Source” list. Find out how to do that here. Install “Baseband Info.” Find the “BBinfo” application on your homescreen and run it. You are looking for Bootloader Version 3.9 - if you see 4.6, you probably have an “out-of-the-box” (OTB) v1.1.3 iPhone and cannot unlock your iPhone v1.1.3.

    I have a “724″ so I definitey had the 3.9 bootloader, which is what we are looking for.

iPhone v1.1.3 firmware already jailbroken - full read/write access to filesystem; native third-party applications

Welp, that’s the game, folks! Just days after the third-party application-killing iPhone v1.1.3 firmware was released, the iPhone developing/hacking community has already put together a legit jailbreak solution for all iPhones and iPod Touches running v1.1.3 code. Apparently, some firmware code-digging has revealed that Apple’s codename for the v1.1.3 firmware is “LittleBear” - now that’s cute.

Now, the jailbreak (which allows full read/write access to the iPhone’s file-system, and thus allows native third-party applications to be installed) solution has been deemed by its developers as too complex for public consumption. That means there is no public jailbreak solution available, but rest assured that this major milestone in iPhone v1.1.3 development puts a public jailbreak solution on track for a near-term release.

Just in case you’re more cynic than enthusiast, check out the video clip of a jailbroken iPod Touch, running the v1.1.3 firmware, and demonstrating some Installer.app goodness. The jailbreak solution has been confirmed to work on both iPhones and iPod Touches.

Bricked iPhones Rise From the Grave With Firmware 1.1.3

For all those unlocked iPhones out there that were bricked after attempting firmware upgrades, we have some great news. It appears that Apple’s new 1.1.3 iPhone firmware rewrites either most or all of the phone’s firmware, allowing for bricked iPhones to be brought back to life. If this sounds too good to be true, watch the video above. We tested it on our own dead iPhone that was originally unlocked with AnySIM and later bricked by an attempted upgrade. This phone had just been gathering dust in one of Brian Lam’s many gadget drawers, so we were surprised when we finally had success with bringing it back to life. Getting the iPhone working again wasn’t as easy as we expected, and at times it didn’t seem like the firmware upgrade had worked, so here’s what happened.
To upgrade, we put the phone in recovery mode, then connected to iTunes and restored/ upgraded. After the phone had finished upgrading, it would not work with our already valid ATT sim, so we had to activate the phone using iTunes. This is where we ran into some trouble, because after activating the iPhone under our existing account, the phone still did not show any signal and would not activate to our account. We restarted the phone and just like magic, were taken directly to the home screen. The phone now had signal and was clearly activated to our account. We made a few test calls, and tested the data connection, both with complete success.

For all of you out there that will state the video could be fake because it has been edited, let us direct your attention to the plastic-film that is still on the glass of the iPhone. In every shot you will see that the phone still has it’s plastic-film on, confirming we are using the same phone before and after.

If this sounds too good to be true, watch the video. We tested it on our own dead iPhone that was originally unlocked with AnySIM and later bricked by an attempted upgrade.

Do Not Upgrade iPhone To 1.1.3

Ben Wilson of iPhone Atlas and one of the few to actually try 1.1.3 in its pre release form is offering an obvious warning: do not upgrade if you have hacked your iPhone.

This process is standard procedure but mixed news gets around very easy and with a previous stunt that actually deleted some important binaries, people can get burned very quickly. So a reminder, wait until a Jailbreak method is posted (do as you always do and check back here daily, we insist) then upgrade away.

According to Ben, 1.1.3 will be a bitch to downgrade.

Limited Edition Apple iPhone Wrapped in Platinum

The Apple iPhone is easily one of the hottest electronic gadgets of the year, getting everyone excited about touchscreen displays and the marrying of music with voice conversations. It’s not exactly an exclusive device, however, because just about anyone can waltz into an AT&T dealer and ask for a touchtastic mobile. If you want to be a little more special, you may want to consider getting a Platinum Edition Apple iPhone. This is because only 250 units will be produced.

To be sold through GoldStriker, the Platinum iPhone comes at quite a premium over its non-platinum counterpart. Whereas a regular iPhone goes for about $400, the platinum version is ringing up at a cool £1099.95. That works out to about US$2,230, meaning that you can have one of these or five of the garden variety phones.

Looking for special features? Keep looking, because the Platinum iPhone still boasts the exact same spec sheet. Then again, with a production run of just 250 units, you can feel pretty darn special showing off that Platinum iPhone… until someone steals it and posts it up on eBay.
