/etc/hosts Where the H*ll is it?!

[JReynolds]

I'm trying to find it to follow Suarik's instructions. I did it on my old macbook pro but can't even find it on my iMac running LION.

Please help

Select "Go to Folder" from Menu Bar and type /private

It's hidden in finder, but that's irrelevant. If you want to edit yours hosts file use nano in terminal:

• Launch terminal

• sudo nano /etc/hosts

• enter your password
• edit what you want
• press ctrl-o to save

So I can't get iTunes to do restore my iPhone. It says it won't sign it. I may have messed up that host file.

Is my original host file and your original host file the same? If so could I see what it's suppose to look so I can put mine back to normal.
