[How To] Install iOS 6 Without A Developer Account
Itching to get your hands on the iOS 6 beta Apple released on Monday? Well, right now, it’s only available to registered developers. But according to some, there is a way you can install iOS 6 on your device. The process is incredibly simple, and all you need is the latest iTunes release and the iOS 6 .ipsw file for your device.
According to iPhone Developers, you can install iOS 6 on an unregistered device as easily as you can on a registered one. Before we tell you how to do it, there’s some stuff we need to get out of the way. It’s boring, but important.
First, iOS 6, as you know, is still in beta, and a very early beta at that. That means that not everything works as it should, and that you can almost guarantee at least some of your favorite apps won’t function. Second, this firmware is intended for registered developers only. Although it can reportedly be installed on unregistered devices, there’s a very good chance you could be one of the unlucky ones who gets stuck with a device that won’t work.
Finally, we haven’t tested this so we cannot confirm anything. Those who have tested it have reported mixed results; while it works well for some, it doesn’t work for other.
We’ll tell you how it’s done so that you can test it yourself, but that decision is yours, and we won’t accept any responsibility for anything that goes wrong. If you do proceed, back up your device and ensure you also have the iOS 5.1.1 .ipsw in case it doesn’t work and you need to downgrade.
Okay, here goes:
- Download the iOS 6 beta file for your device. You can find this either by searching Google, or from the iPhone Developers site linked at the bottom of this page.
- If you haven’t already done so, upgrade to the latest version of iTunes (10.6.3), then open it up.
- Plug in your device and allow it to back up.
- Now hold down the option key on your Mac (that’s shift for Windows users), and click on the ‘Check for Update’ button. Do not click the ‘Restore’ button because it won’t work.
- Select the iOS 6 .ipsw file you just downloaded and allow it to install.
You should now be running the iOS 6 beta, and you can either setup your device as ‘new’, or restore your content from the backup you made earlier.
If the process fails and your device cannot be authorized, then restore your device back to iOS 5.1.1.

[How To] P1 4G Connection Fix
I was having a problem with my P1 4G Wiggy modem. It suddenly cannot connect to P1 Wimax network.
It tries to connect as shown in figure below:
But after a few seconds (maybe 30 seconds like that), it shows connection failed.
I contacted P1Cares via Twitter. They advised me to reinstall P1 4G Wiggy application manager. I did, but still no luck.
They also told me to disable my antivirus (which I don’t know why), but still nothing good happen.
Lastly, P1Cares advised me to send the Wiggy modem to P1 centre for checking. But I refused.
After being frustrated, I shut down my laptop. After a few minutes, I boot it up again.
Tada! It is now connected to P1 network like normal. No need to send the modem to P1 centre.
If you are having same problem like mine, try what P1Cares told me first. If it still doesn’t work, try shut down your computer for awhile and boot it up after that.
It works for me and hope it will work for you too…
[How To] Move Your iPhoto Library To An External Drive To Save Space [OS X]
Most of us have considered moving out iTunes library to an external hard drive to save space at one time or another. If you use a MacBook Air, you know how squeezzed for space you can feel after using a laptop with a much bigger hard drive.
But what about iPhoto? True, pictures take up less space than iTunes videos, or even MP3 tracks, but more and more these days we’re taking photos with huge pixel counts with similarly large file sizes. And what about all the movies we use our iPhones or cameras for? They eat up a lot of space, too. So, you might at some point want to move all the photos and home movies you manage in iPhoto to an external drive to save space. Here’s how.
The first thing to do is to move the iPhoto Library itself. Be sure you have the external hard drive you want to put your iPhoto Library and files on is connected. Then, open your home folder, then the Pictures folder within. Find the iPhoto Library package, and click once on it to select it. Move the selected package file with Cut from the Edit menu, or drag and drop it to an external hard drive. If you choose to cut/paste the file, paste it onto the external hard drive. This could take some time, depending on how many photos and/or videos you have in there.
Next up, you just have to tell iPhoto where the Library is. Hold the Option key down and launch iPhoto, either with a double click on the Application in the Applications folder or a click on the icon in the Dock, if you keep iPhoto there. iPhoto will display a list of currently installed iPhoto Libraries. If you see the one you moved in the list, click on it. If not, click on Other Library and navigate to the spot on your external hard drive that you put the iPhoto Library from the steps above. Hit the Choose button to complete the process.
It might take a couple of seconds for iPhoto to figure this out, but once it’s all done, you’ll be able to open iPhoto as per usual in the future, without having to choose the library again. To put it back on your Mac, simply do the same steps above, and then point iPhoto to the new location on your Hard Drive.
[How-To] Unifi DNS Problems? Here’s a Fix for Windows XP/7
Lately a lot of complaints have been coming in about TM‘s high speed broadband service here in Malaysia dubbed as Unifi. Many user complain about DNS server not responding or not available. I myself have encountered this problem many times and have been hard pressed to find a solution. This becomes particularly frustrating when you are a heavy user and constantly need a connection. Having many devices hooked up to the same line can cause problems too. Curiously , the DNS error commonly only effects PCs that are directly connected and not through WiFi. There is a simple solution that requires some tweaks to be done in your internet settings. The solution is to use either Google’s Public DNS or OpenDNS. Continue reading
