They withdraw applications to look for networks WiFi de la AppStore


Some weeks ago we were waking up with the news from which Apple was withdrawing applications of the AppStore. In this case the affected applications were those who were showing deep tone images. Until now these applications have not returned to the shop online and it seems that they will not do it in enough time. Today we find out about another movement of this type from the central head office of the AppStore. Today they have not withdrawn any more applications of the style of those of again, but they have gone for others. The number is not so big and this time the retired applications are used to find networks WiFi and they were showing certain information of the same ones. Something similar to the agent of connections WiFi for defect of the iPhone. Some of the retired applications are: WiFiTrak, WiFiFoFum, yFy Network Finder, WiFi-Where, WiFi Get and of course many others. As it looks like Apple only he has answered one of the developers mentioning that the application uses a private API, something that is out of the norms of the AppStore. We suppose that these applications will not be available again in the shop online, although fortunately there can be another type of applications that use other systems to locate networks public WiFis. Also it is possible that some of these applications that were withdrawn appear across Cydia in a little time, although here there will be able only to gain access those who have the jailbreak applied to his iPhone or iPod Touch.Vía | Cult of mac

They pay 9950 dollars for a step of Apple Store of the Fifth Avenue


Some days ago an auction appeared in eBay of a broken step of the stairs of Apple Store of the Fifth Avenue. This step is only a thickness and weighed (113,4 Kg) crystal piece that in his moment was installed in one of the most emblematic shops of Apple. The step had to be a retired person after his break, but an employee of the shop it decided to remain and the truth that finally to keep this stairs piece has come to him very well. After a kept time he decided to auction it in eBay. His game price was 700 dollars and the direct call option existed for 2,500 dollars. Finally the auction has come to his end and the price that it has reached is of nothing more and neither more nor less than 9950 dollars, almost 10000 dollars for a crystal piece. We suppose that the one that has bought it is some fanatical collector of the mark of the apple. Let's hope that it should be satisfied with his new acquisition and that it should have a good pair of friends who help him to move this tremendous crystal piece. To send it for urgent courier service I do not believe that it is cheap at all. Route | TUAW

ToolJail: the glory of lost in the world of the Jailbreak


ToolJail is an incredible application for the users of Windows that takes as a target to attend to us during our adventure with the process of the jailbreak in the iPhone and iPod Touch. The program even is not free because beta is in phase, but the creator waits for an imminent announcement in the next days. Basically decent graph treats of a small database with one interface with all the necessary information to do the jailbreak and to liberate our iPhone/iPod Touch. It includes the possibility of checking the iBoot, the model, the ECID, as well as account with all the guides of the jailbreak that will be the suitable one depending on the model of our device. This application works in a very simple way, the first thing that it is necessary to do after executing the program, it is to give clic in the button “Jailbreak Tutorial“, there you will have to select the characteristics of your team, after refilling all the fields, you give him a clic to the button “Search“ and immediately a small window will appear indicating if it is possible to do the jailbreak or not. If your device is compatible with the jailbreak, in the same program you can put it in Way DFU and liberate it with the available hardware like redsn0w, Pwnage Tool, blackra1n, between others. Simply it is a genius and that promises to save many headaches, especially for those users who are relatively new in the scene of the jailbreak. Route | iHackintosh Torrent Lost S06E08 Recon now

Apple announces officially that the iPad will be free on April 3 in the USA, the version 3G at the end of this month


Apple has communicated today to the mass media that the official exit of the iPad will be April 3, for the model WiFi, although only in the USA. It is at the end of this month when the company will distribute the model 3G in the above mentioned country, and in the rest of the international territory foreseen for the throwing. The countries where the iPad will be already thrown in both models (WiFi + 3G) will be Germany, Australia, Canada, Spain, France, Italy, Japan, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. Let's remember than at the end of April: only in the USA they will be able to enjoy the iPad before this date, in his version WiFi. The early order will be opened in the USA on March 12, for both models, straight from the on-line Apple store. The day of the throwing, they will have only to go to the shop Apple nearest to gather it. The reservation process for the rest of countries still has not been specified, but it would be logical to think that it should begin at the end of March.

The TVShows renascence


For ages I have been very keen of the American series and I have always liked trying to see the chapters at the same time that in the United States. To stay updated it was using TVShows, a very simple application that automatically was looking from time to time for new episodes in the series a those that it was signed. Nevertheless, it will do thing of one year, TVShows stopped working and I had to look for other alternatives without finding really one who was convincing me completely. Which has my surprise been?, today on having entered on the official page of the program, I have come across with the surprising news about that TVShows continues alive and works to thousand marvels. In the widespread entry we explain the functioning of the application to them:
  • Nothing more to open the program automatically will update the list with the available series.

  • Once finished, we will select the series a those that we want to subscribe clicking on “Subscribe“. There us will open a new window where we will have to select the episode for which we want that he begins looking. The best thing is to select the option “Next aired episode” so that the last available episode looks for us.

  • Once we have stopped subscribing to all the series that let's want, these will place themselves at the beginning of the list and will change of color automatically, appearing also, information about the last available episode.

  • To end, we go to the preferences of the application to form the time that we want that the application waits up to looking for new episodes.

  • Also, in the eyelash Torrents of the preferences of the application we will be able to select the quality with which we want that the program looks for the Torrents.

TVShows is one of the first applications that I began using when I gave the jump to Mac OS X and it is undoubtedly the best application to keep up to date in all these American series that we love. The best thing of everything?, the price of the application: FREE!. It discharges: TVShows 0.4.8 | official Page: TVShows

Tiptoe protects our privacy while we use applications


Did they see that now most of the navigators have a called “private way” that allows us to use them without leaving track? Undoubtedly many find this very useful option, that's why someone thought that it would be a good idea to do the same with any program and this way there was born Tiptoe, an application dedicated to protecting our privacy while we use our favorite applications. Tiptoe can be used in preventive form before throwing an application, indicating him that during this meeting we do not want that anything remains kept. Then, on having stopped using, any track of the same one will be in charge of erasing it: preferences, record, cache memory, secondhand files recently, open windows, etc. All this will be re-spilled to the state that had the application before his last execution.
Also we will be able to use it to erase all the information that the applications have kept even before we have begun using the program, something like option of “erasing recent record” of the navigators. It costs to clarify that the application has a list of applications that he supports (15 at present), by which it cannot be used freely with any program since it is programmed to erase the specific points of each one. This can turn positively since it gives us the safety of not being a tool generic but thought especially to erase the tracks that every application leaves. Also we can suggest our own favorite applications so that they should be included in the next versions. Tiptoe costs USD$19.95 but it can be proved free for 15 days unloading the demo of 1.37MB compatible with Mac OS X from now on. I warn that the product was thrown today (of the mind of only one developer) for what is in his version 1.0 and it might contain errors. Route and Photo: i use this on osx

Common solution for the problems of the Finder


Inspired in the comment of a reader this method wanted to share them to solve the most common problems that can happen to us on having used the Finder: some of them can be minors, as when he does not keep the position or size of the windows, and there are more serious others like when it closes on having tried to gain access to a specific directory. In any case, it is good to have this advice to hand to try before complicating us looking for more specific solutions. The Finder keeps his preferences as any application of Mac OS X, that's why in some cases these files might be corrupted, what causes errors in his behavior. The way more simple of solving them is eliminating the above mentioned preferences files, and the system will generate them again on having opened the Finder. Like eliminating the preferences from the same Finder:
  1. To open the Finder and inside the user's folder (“David“ in my case) to go to Bookstore> Preferences
  2. To move the Stationer the files com.apple.finder.plist and com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
En caso que no se pueda abrir el Finder,  like eliminating the preferences from Terminal:
  1. To initiate Terminal.app (in Applications> Utilities)
  2. To write these lines pressing Enter after each one:
    • rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
    • rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
Para que los cambios surtan efecto deberán  to close the user's meeting or to relaunch the Finder, the latter option is in the menu contextual of the icon of the Dock, clicking while we keep the key pressed Option. If everything goes out well, we will be able to empty the Wastebasket like that we eliminate completely the corrupt files of the Finder. Source: The X Lab | Photo: ars technica
