Run Flash on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch

---

---

By Bryan Sanders posted August 12, 2010 at 08:30PM

How to run Flash content on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch

First you will need to have a jailbroken iPhone. The easiest way to jailbreak your iPhone is to open Safari on your iPhone and visit jailbreakme.com. Follow the prompts and within minutes your iPhone should have a Cydia icon on the home screen. Click on the Cydia app icon and chose “User/Graphic” install if you are just an average joe and not a ninja coder.

---

Note: Jailbreakme.com may not be around for long since apple already has a fix for the hole so time is limited. Frash: You may be able to see some, but not all flash content. Frash may also cause some crashes and may not work properly. Use at you own risk. For me it works good so far. I will keep you updated.

---

Once Cydia is installed and running follow the steps below:

1. Open Cydia
2. Choose Manage
3. Tap on Sources
4. In the upper-right corner tap on Edit
5. Add the following URL – http://repo.benm.at/
6. If it works correctly you should see “Entered by User” BENM.AT Repo. Click on that source and look for frash (it did not work the first try for me but after a reboot it was there)
7. Frash is the tweak to allow Flash based content on Safari
8. Install frash and if you use SBSettings I recommend installing Frash Toggle located just below frash. Respring and you should be good to go. Enable and disable frash from SBSettings by swiping left to right at the top of you home screen. You should now see a frash toggle to tap on and off with ease.
9. Good luck and have fun!

If you should have any trouble with this install feel free to write me or watch the video below hosted by Brian Tong of CNET for more details.

Downgrade your iPhone OS

Is you iPhone 3G or iPhone 3GS running sluggish and having issues since upgrading to iOS 4? I updated my iPhone 3GS from iOS 4.0 to iOS 4.0.1 and now I’m having reception issues. I was curious if there was a way to downgrade. After days of searching, I found a way to downgrade your iPhone’s OS.

Thanks to LifeHacker.com and CNET’s Brian Tong, I finally know how to downgrade my iPhone 3GS. There is a video and a tutorial on how to downgrade from iOS 4 to iOS 3.1.3. I would just like to downgrade from iOS 4.0.1 back to iOS 4.0 but I am not 100% sure this downgrade will work for that. Good luck and let us know if it worked.

Note: Use at your own risk. This downgrade works on most iPhones and there is the risk it may not work. There is also the risk that this may make your iPhone worse. Read the tutorial from LifeHacker before you decide to downgrade.

iTunes 9.2.1

iTunes version 9.2.1 is available for download today. The latest version features various bug, stability, and performance fixes.

I have been having trouble dragging and dropping songs on my iPhone 3G. Out of 12 songs I tried to upload to my phone , only about 8 of the songs were on there. I tried numerous times to get the songs on my phone but no luck. Hopefully this update will fix that issue. I will keep you posted.

iTunes 9.2.1 provides a number of important bug fixes, including:

• Addresses minor issues with dragging and dropping items
• Addresses a performance issue when first syncing to some devices with iTunes 9.2
• Addresses an issue upgrading to iOS 4 on an iPhone or iPod touch with encrypted back-ups
• Addresses other issues that improve stability and performance

I received this in my email inbox today:

Beginning July 22, you will need to use Application Loader to submit your binary to iTunes Connect. Binary uploads will no longer be accepted through the iTunes Connect interface on that date.

Application Loader offers fast uploading, a more stable connection, and early validation warnings. You can now also submit binaries that contain In App Purchase using Application Loader. Make sure the status of your app in iTunes Connect is Waiting for Upload before you submit your binary through Application Loader.

If you have installed iPhone SDK 3.2 or later, you can access Application Loader from the Utilities folder (/Developer/Applications/Utilities/Application Loader.app). You can also download Application Loader from iTunes Connect.

If you have any questions regarding Application Loader, please review our Frequently Asked Questions

or utilize the Contact Us

system on iTunes Connect.

Best regards,

iTunes Connect Support
