Fixing the iOS 5 battery drain problem
2October 20, 2011

I’m sure you are already upgraded to iOS 5 by now if your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch supports it. Well, even if you aren’t yet, it’s probably just because you didn’t have the time yet.
It’s only been a week since I’ve updated my iPhone 3Gs and I’ve to say that it’s the best OS that’s landed on the iPhone 3Gs. The performance is great and it also feels much faster than iOS 4.x. Overall, I’m a happy camper that my 3Gs has received a new lease of More >
Fix: iTunes was unable to load dataclass information error

I recently installed XCode 4 off the Mac App Store. Once that was done, i found that iTunes started throwing me the “iTunes was unable to load dataclass information from Sync Services” error every time I try to plug in the iPad and iPhone to sync via iTunes.
Darn! Looks like the Xcode 4 install screwed up iTunes in some way.
Searching the error on the Internet pointed me to a fix posted in Apple’s support site. It’s basically a guide to remove More >

By now, most of you iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch folks would probably already be on iOS 4.3. But there’s one thing that might have bugged you a whole lot. If you happened to sync a huge load of photos via iTunes to your iDevice, chances are, you’d notice that the photos may not fit in the available storage anymore.
Worse still, you may even get the “The required file cannot be found.” error and not able to sync the photos at all!
It seems that More >

Yes. I know this is a little late to, but hey I was busy
Anyways, if you have read my blog recently and did follow what I did, you’d most likely already have your iPhone or iPad updated to iOS 4.2.1 GM. Technically speaking, it’s the same build of the latest official release of iOS 4.2 via iTunes today.
However, if you’re using an iPhone 3GS, you’d probably notice that the you’d still get a notification for an update via iTunes. This means More >

5 reasons to update the iPhone to iOS 4.2 GM
2November 17, 2010
by Ken Ng
I’m sure you are aware of the latest news around the iOS 4.2. Currently on GM release to the developers, it’s still being delayed from release to the public.
Whatever the real reason for the delay might be, it seems that the generally believed idea is that there was a WiFi bug that was discovered on the iOS 4.2 firmware for the iPad which has since saw a second release of the GM candidate which I’ve tested out to work perfectly here in my More >
Fixing the iPhone Bluetooth Internet Tethering with OS X

by Ken Ng
Recently, my iPhone’s ability to wirelessly tether the Internet connection from my mobile data plan through bluetooth was broken. I wasn’t sure what went wrong or what broke it. All I did right before it happened was to upgrade my RAM from 4GB to 8GB and also the hard disk to a nice 7200RPM 500GB Western Digital Scropio. And the guy that helped me upgrade it did a PRAM reset as well.
But anyways, it just go screwed up. It would still pair with More >
Manually downloading iOS 4.1 (or any other versions) for iTunes
2September 10, 2010
by Ken Ng
iOS 4.1 is out and you want to immediately update your iPhone to get it updated with the latest iOS and patch all those bugs. So you fired up iTunes and click on the update button. Then iTunes tells you that it would take 3-4 hours to download the almost 400MB firmware update.
3 to 4 hours if you’re lucky that is. And on top of that, let’s hope your download don’t timeout!
Sounds familiar? Well, if you’re as unlucky as I am when it comes to More >
