Updating to iOS 5 - the easier way

The new iOS 5 was launched last thursday for iPhone 4, 3GS, iPod touch 4th & 3rd, and iPad 1 & 2. As we know, the new iOS 5 comes with 200+ features, which made everybody insane about it. Some just bought a developer license for it, some just get it in some way without a dev account. Developers start to make their apps ios5-compatible. Hackers start to exploit ios 5 and jailbreak it.
So when the final version finally released, millions (probably more!!$ of iDevice users around the world eager to get the new iOS 5. I'm, of course, one of them. But, after reading posts by people who updating their device and their complaints, which include very slow network speed and stuck at backup process. I then performed the following way to get ios 5 in my iPod touch in no time.
NOTE THAT THE FOLLOWING WAY MIGHT CAUSE YOU TO LOSE ALL YOUR DATA & STUFFS. FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY.

(Note: Recommended for iPod touch and iPad users only. iPhone users, you can try if you want to take risk of losing your contacts unless you've synced with Outlook or iTunes.)

Before that, please make sure you've iTunes 10.5 installed. If you dont have, you can Check For Updates or go to http://www.apple.com/iTunes to download.

1. Open your browser and go to the link below:
http://bit.ly/iNinbX
2. Under the "iPod touch, iPhone, iPad & Apple TV" section, choose your device and generation and the iOS version 5.0
3. Download the IPSW. Recommended to use other browser except for Internet Explorer. It may take around 2-3 hours as it's more than 700MB.
4. After downloading, connect your device to your computer and have a last FULL sync and backup with iTunes.
5. After that, hold down "Shift" button and click "restore". Select the IPSW you've just downloaded and it'll start unpacking. This process will take approximately 5 minutes.

Or, if you don't want the risk to lose all your data, you can connect your device to the computer and when a pop-up asking you to update to iOS 5. Click "Download and install". iTunes will automatically perform a backup.

Enjoy your iOS 5!

iOS 5 on my iPod touch 4th Generation!!

Few days ago I updated my iPod touch 4g from ios 4.3.4 to iOS 5. At first it does feel laggy and the battery drains fast but it took a long time to charge. Few days later my iPod touch is getting used to it, so it feels normal right now.

Stay on for next iOS 5 update advice!!

Waddup

I finally got this Blogger mobile app on my iPod, and decided to manage my blog this way. Waddup guys? Long time. Only 1 more month to my final exam... Time flies. Lots of stuff happened but I just don't feel like mentioning one by one.

THAT TEACHER...

Today is Friday, but there is a teacher who fucking ruined it..
First of all, he came into our class, finding our door closed. Then Alvin sensed something strange; and he opened the door. The teacher looked so angry, black-faced (he's already black) Alvin welcomed him in, thought that he's not angry. And damn at that time he fucking blowed at us, saying that we're fucking animals without cultures. [Fuck him, we're just trying to block those fucking seekers outside to prevent them sneaking the two japanese in our class(they're nice! I'll talk about them later) and treating us like a ZOO, is that fucking wrong?]  and yah... He blowed, blowed and blowed... Calling us names, and we don't know why he's so sensitive to that... We're not welcoming him, yes we DID. And he took 10 minutes for that. What a teacher......
Next he asked us why so animal-hearted and didn't realized that he hadn't been teaching for the past 2 weeks, entering class doing nothing [you yourself don't feel like teaching, and you said SONG 爽, and we dont wanna interrupt you] and now he's scolding us. Then he finally started his lesson. He teaches about TIADA OTAK, TAK FAHAM BAHASA, ALVIN CURI SD (seluar dalam) PEREMPUAN DAN JUMPA BOMOH, and talking other Kim stuff...
Then he talked and blowed, etc etc... And thought that he's so smart, best moral and history teacher in school. HE'S THE MOST IMMORAL TEACHER ON EARTH! Finally he left, and I decided to type this.

I'll talk about the Japanese later... Byrd...

Finally retired

Today library having AGM. So the moment (i've been or not been, IDK) waiting for, finally arrived. Cham has been live-updating our FB group since he got 0.fb... Well, here's d list:

Well, the day started off with all the form 3s sitting in the room, and get shooed out by freaking form 5s, and everyone started chatting and discussing at the top of their voices, hoping that the juniors will hear. Then senior Low Wei Yan (i'm taller than him... :) ) and Ng Jia Wai came in, unexpectedly... and yep, everyone came in at last, and the room is filled with noises... but then everything went on well...

trying to post pictures here but failed... will try later soon....

Becoming bekas..... Ugggghhhh T.T

Yeah, so I became a librarian on 2009, and yah, I'm exited at that time. But still have to cope with the Priscilla Ng (old old library teacher, but then resigned during end 2010, heard say that she's working at Tenby as a library teacher too!) and, that lasted for 2 years (i really don't know how i managed to do that, maybe being nice to her works), early 2011, a new library teacher (temporary) came and joined the fun. (Forward... >>>>) So, next week, we're going to become "bekas" (or mean, Retired). It's good for me as I can put down most of the things and concentrate in my studies. Yah...

||==

Why??? Selling off my iPod Touch this friday... to my uncle!! Around  RM850! Wow! So what? Gonna concentrate on my studies, and get a smartphone after SPM!! How great is that!

NOTICE! | Move of Br1ghtTechno

I've combined my personal blog and br1ghttechno together, but now, I'm working with a few friends and we decided to create a new website for it. The new link will be posted at the right of this page, under the "Additional Links" column.

You can still read previous post right on this page, or at our new page. It will be available at our new page.

Got to go. Exam tomorrow!

Blah blah blah~

First of all, there have been major changes to this website. Instead of "Techn0view", I've changed it to " br1ght d1lwy ". Although this sounded so strange, it didn't. It's pronounced as "Bright Dilwy". But at least this is no stranger than the "TechnoView" we had before.

Secondly, woo~ iPad 2 started selling last friday. Well, my friend in Chicago says that the queue is round 5 hours. But i heard say that the queue started 3 days before they started selling. He got one, of course. For me, right here in Malaysia, I doubt it will come faster as the price of the iPad 1 dropped. When it arrives, I'll sure get one, and I'll do tonnes of videos of it.

Nothing much. Exam coming, holidays gonna over, whatsoever. Life is still life.

Stay tuned. I'll see you guys later!

TechnoView | Smart Cover for iPad 2

Following the launch of the iPad 2,  Apple shows off it's iPad 2 Smart Cover.

Smart Cover for iPad 2

The iPad 2 is 1/2 more  thinner than the First Generation iPad, so Apple doesn't want a iPad 2 to be hidden in a bulky case. Therefore, the iPad 2 comes with a Smart Cover, as they called it.

Smart cover holds the iPad 2 smartly.

Holding the iPad 2 - Position #1

If you're using Facetime or video chatting or perhaps watching video, this cover a.k.a stand holds the iPad firmly, no matter what position, in landscape or potrait mode.

Holding the iPad 2 - Position #2

If you're e-mailing, surfing the Internet or perhaps, typing, this cover holds the iPad firmly, with a little angle up.

Magnetic Attraction

 Magnetic Attraction

 This cover is specially designed for the iPad, so when it flipped down, it will be quickly sucked with the iPad.

Automatic On-And-Off

 Automatic On-and-off


When the cover is flipped down, the magnetic sucks down the cover, thus sends the iPad into sleep mode immediately. When it is pulled up, it automatically wakes the iPad.

Wonderful Colours to choose
