Iphone Geeks Stuff:

Try this: Go to Settings > General > Date and Time > Set Automatically > Off. Set the date one year ahead. Try to download or update the apps again. If you get an error message, go back to the settings. Correct the date and time (set automatically) then go back and try to download or update the apps again.

Maybe this looks stupid but this actually fix problem for some users. If don’t, we will try some more method to fix this. Hope we will fix it at the end day.

The concept of jailbreak must never be confused with unlocking: if you unlock a phone from a specific network, you can use it with any telephone network. You can jailbreak an unlocked iPhone, but not vice-versa! The main reason why people unlock their iPhones is to be able to use their phone on any network and not just those networks that have a partnership with Apple. The reason why people started jailbreaking their iPhones was to be able to install applications rejected by Apple for some reason, and in order to install applications that are customizable to your own preferences.

Here is why you may want to jailbreak iPhone 5 devices:

You have the possibility to modify system files.
You can install free apps that are normally paid under the App Store.
You can customize phones with previous version of the iOS.
You can install apps that are otherwise refused by Apple.
You can perform Bluetooth transfer files between your iPhone and other devices that have this technology integrated.

Careful, though: jailbreaking your iPhone may cause the void of your warranty.

The iPhone 5 was made available back at the beginning of December and you can purchase it unlocked, without a contract. If you want an iPhone that you can use with any SIM, it is ideal to buy the device unlock. If you buy it with a contract however, it will be locked and will accept only SIM cards from the mobile phone service provides that supplied the device. If you want to purchase a “free” device so you won’t have to unlock iPhone 5 cell phone, you can visit Apple’s official web store and pay $849 for the 64 GB version (which is only useful if you really have to store tons of apps and information on your smartphone), $749 for the 32 GB version and $649 for the 16 GB version. However, you can purchase the mobile device from a carrier and pay as little as $199, so are you willing to pay 3 times this price for an unlocked version of the iPhone 5?

Think it over and see if you are truly going to use this phone with another SIM card or in another country and, if not, you may want to consider going for a 2 year contract with one the providers in your area. In case you want to give an iPhone 5 as a gift to someone and are not sure which mobile carrier they use, purchasing an unlock version is the best idea and will save you a lot of headaches.

One of the major reasons you may want to unlock iPhone 5 smartphones for is if you are travelling to another country and want to use this device with another SIM card. If you have an iPhone version with a contract, the mobile device will only allow you to use their SIM cards and will require you to pay additional (and high) fees for any roaming services. The disadvantage here is that if you switch SIM cards, you will have a different phone number for the time being.

Another people why people choose to buy unlocked iPhones is because the contract fees are high. If you choose the services of a mobile provider and go with a 2 year contract, adding up the monthly payments plus the price you initially paid for the device will reveal a sum greater that f you had purchased an unlocked version of the iPhone. The advantage is that if you want an iPhone and don’t have the money to pay for the unlocked version, consider the subscription fees and monthly installments to pay for your device. If you live in the US, you probably know that the lowest fees that carriers charge are still as high as $70 per month. If you multiply that amount with the 24 months which are the minimum period for a contract, you get $1,700 that you have to pay only for carrier fees.

First of all, you need to consider if you really need a jailbreak for your phone. People that want to jailbreak their iPhones normally do so because they want to be able to download and install for free applications that cost money in the App Store. They also want to be able to modify the user interface and pretty much personalize their phone to look in any way they want.

Before you decide to perform the jailbreak for your new iOS 6 operating system, you will to install a program which is called Cydia and which is similar to the App Store. The difference between these two products is that the App Store is the official virtual online store that Apple has and it offers free and paid apps by trusted developers for iPhone. Cydia, however, cannot guarantee the quality of the software that you find on their portal. This is why you will sometimes find broken links and find that you are downloading programs which are not to be trusted.

The truth is that as long as your know the steps to take, unlocking your iPhone is no rocket science. The most complicating thing is to actually find the right unlocking software which is compatible with your iPhone model. Once you have downloaded this software, you need to open it and follow the instructions given. Make sure that before performing the unlock, you have made backup of all your cell phone data using iTunes.

It is recommended that you make a folder called UNLOCK or REDSN0W on your desktop and install the software there. You then have to unzip the files and run RedSn0w. Once you have requested for Cydia to install, you can select the unlocking function inside the software. Sit back and wait as you see how the software is preparing to unlock your iPhone 5. Once the process is complete, you will see that the device needs to reboot. Make sure you let it reboot before trying to do anything else with your cell phone. And there it is: you now have an unlocked iPhone!
