How to Downgrade iPhone/iPod/iPad Apps

You surely have experienced already, updating one of your apps and realising afterwards that the new update doesn't work properly.

For many of you this might be a problem in case the app that stopped working is that one you can't live without, but don't worry, I'll tell you how to downgrade iPhone/iPod/iPad apps!

You need:

• Your iDevice.
• A computer with iTunes.

Note: This might be pretty confusing so if you have any question feel free to leave a comment below and I'll try to help you.

First of all, did you sync your apps with iTunes after updating the app you want to downgrade?

This will only work if you did not sync your iDevice's apps with iTunes after updating.

Let's get started...

Step 1: Delete the app from your iDevice.

Step 2: Connect your iDevice to your computer and open iTunes - do not let it sync!!!

Step 3: Click on your iDevice's name and go to the apps list.

Step 4: Select the app you want to downgrade and click Apply in order to reinstall it on your iDevice.

After doing this your app will be downgraded to the last version it had the last time you synced your iDevice's apps with iTunes.

Reminder: This will not work if you synced your apps with iTunes after updating.

If you have any questions feel free to ask and I'll try to help you.

How To Get All Friends' Updates on Facebook

You probably have noticed already that some of your friends' updates are missing on the News Feed. This happens because Facebook "predicts" which friends from everyone you have added interest you the most and will only show those people on the news feed.

If you're one of those people who want all their friends' updates back on the News Feed, follow these steps:

Step 1: Go to your Friends list.

Step 2: Hover your mouse on the "Friends" button beside each person and click Settings.

Step 3: Then click All Updates.

That's it!

Now you'll have all your friends' updates back on your News Feed. The boring thing about this is that you have to do this to all your friends...

I haven't found a way to make it to everyone at once but I'll share it with you as soon as I find it out.

Jailbreak iOS 6.1.1 Untethered [HowTo]

The iOS 6.1.1 is now available for iPhone 4S only and this requires you to jailbreak your iPhone again. Although, the first evasi0n jailbreak will not work on this new iOS version, but don't fear!

I'll tell you how to jailbreak your iPhone 4S.

——————————————————

Download evasi0n 1.3

Mac OS X: mediafire.com/?dx10n5cmld3h585

Windows/PC: mediafire.com/?5g6lz5gg0ggc656

Linux: mediafire.com/?9g9r704ugsc33y7

——————————————————

The process is exactly the same as the previous one (in case you had your iPhone jailbroken before iOS 6.1.1 was released).

Step 1: Download evasi0n and open it.

Step 2: Connect your iPhone.

Step 3: Click Jailbreak. The process will begin automatically.

Step 4: At a certain point of the process, evasi0n will ask you to tap a new jailbreak icon that was installed on your iPhone. Once you tap it the process will continue. Please note that your iPhone might reboot before evasi0n asks you to tap that icon.

Step 5: Wait for evasi0n to finish the process.

Step 6: When the process finishes, Cydia will be installed on your iPhone.

If you want this tutorial with images, you can check this one. It's exactly the same process, although make sure you're using the file you downloaded on this tutorial and not on the one I mentioned above.

I came across this problem a couple days ago and I'll show you how to do it.

Step 1: Open iTunes.

Step 2: Connect your iDevice whether by USB or wifi.

Step 3: Once connected, click on File.

Step 4: Go to Devices and then Transfer Purchases from ...

That's it! Your purchases are now transfered to iTunes.

Fix Cydia Small/Shrink Screen Problem

After installing Evasi0n, some users have been experiencing a problem on Cydia (or any other app) which that the screen is small, being placed on the top left corner of the screen itself. I experienced this problem myself and fortunately I found a solution for it. I'll share it with you guys.

This post is pretty long so make sure you read it all to the end in case you can't figure it out at the first steps, you may find your correct option a little further in this tutorial.

If you already downloaded stuff from Cydia, you most likely downloaded some tweak/s that is/are causing this issue, so all you have to do is to remove them. Although, you probably noticed already that you can't do anything on Cydia even tho you can change from tab to tab.

Let's see how to remove the tweaks.

Step 1: Reboot your device in Safe Mode. Note: I'll tell you how to do this further in this post.

Step 2: Open Cydia and remove tweaksReboot to check if that's what's causing the problem.

Step 3: If removing this doesn't solve it, reboot in Safe Mode again and keep removing tweaks until you get it solved.

———————————————————————

How to reboot in Safe Mode?

If you have SBSettings this is probably the easiest thing to do.

Step 1: Open the "drop down menu" of SBSettings.

Step 2: Tap the Power button.

Step 3: Now choose Safe Mode from the options.

Your device will now start in Safe Mode.

If you don't have SBSettings...

If you don't have SBSettings don't worry, we can get it done too! Here's how...

Step 1: Reboot your device.

Step 2: BUT press and hold the Volume Up (+) button when you do it.

This way your device will reboot in Safe Mode.

———————————————————————

... AFTER SAFE MODE ...

Once your device reboots, usually this message shows up:

Press OK and ignore that.

Step 1: Open Cydia.

Step 2: Go to Manage and then Packages.

Step 3: Remove the tweaks and apps that are not compatible with iOS 6.x. If there's any tweak that is not completely compatible, it's better to remove it.

Step 4: Reboot your device after removing all the tweaks that you think are causing the problem.

This time you won't reboot in Safe Mode, you'll reboot your device normally.

Once your device has rebooted, check Cydia and/or the apps that had the small screen problem. If everything's the size it should be, then you're good to go! If not, repeat the whole process and remove more tweaks until you remove the one causing the problem.

This issue has been known to be caused mainly by tweaks, so focus on tweaks first and then apps if removing the tweaks hasn't solved the problem.

Did it work?
