I hate to be such a noob, but I have no idea what you are talking about. I haven't gotten really familiar with my mac pro. Sorry. Would you be kind enough to walk me through this so a fellow member can JB his iP4?

Macs have user accounts with different capabilities. If your account is not set up as an administrator account, you won't be allowed to install applications. You need to go to system preferences and check whether yours is an admin account.

Also -- Sidewinder, that was a bit harsh. Be nice to the n00bs.
 
I am not here to teach you whatever it is you need to know. So stopped acting like you are entitled to my help and that I somehow owe it to you!

You are now on my ignore list...

S-

It's cool, I understand how it is, I'm not going to hold anything against you, could have took it a different approach IMHO.

Thx, that helped a lot, much appreciated. It worked for me, so now I have it up and running.
 
Relax, its the internet.

Where were you when the two recent threads were posted about running into problems with editing the hosts file? We really don't care that you've had such a great experience with the hosts file, we just want to get the job done. So, to borrow your words, "since it's the internet", let us have our TU in peace without you constantly over our shoulder thinking we made the "less efficient", more troublesome choice. We are people that are able to do both methods (unlike you who has always had trouble with TU) and we still prefer TU, so no changing that no matter how much pulpit pounding you do here.

As mentioned many times Ive never had trouble with TU.
 
For those of you having trouble with tinyumbrella, you may want to post over at Semaphore's site as well. He's the one who made this program, and there are many people who like to help there.

He just posted today that version 4.1.9 will be out today or tomorrow with more improvements in it. Maybe that will solve your issues.

Thanks dude :D
 
As mentioned many times Ive never had trouble with TU. Way to comprehend english. Funny this is like the 6th paragraph-long outburst you've had, yet no one cares.

Yup, comprehend it just fine. And you're right, this once, there is a whole lot of stuff to say about you! Oh...and the people that "care" have already gotten around to pointing out your PMS bias about TU :)
 
Killing a process is pretty simple. On your Mac go to the applications folder then to the utilities folder, fire up activity monitor and you can kill the process based on its PID which is viewable in this program.

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried it but there was no actual running process with PID:36 as stated in TU. Really weird.

Anyway, I will try new TU 4.1.9 to see if this bug is fixed.

ok, just an update. tried TU 4.1.9. got same cryptic error that process PID 37 must be killed and TSS server could not be started. Checked activity monitor and there's no process running with that PID.

anyone else with similar problem?
 
Recognizing Device, but not that it's in Recovery mode.

I have a previously jailbroken 3GS that was bricked. I connected to Itunes and now it is not recognizing my sim card (it is Japanese phone and now I am on AT&T here). I got it to the connect to ITunes screen and downloaded TU in order to get it off of that screen, but even though my device is recognized, the Exit Recovery button is not lit up for me to press. Any ideas/advice? Thanks!
 
4.1.9 solved the worst problem of all, restoring to 4.1 to preserve baseband and the restore cycle hanging around 75%.

Yes it is, it's under system processes, but it's all for nothing because after you close it another opens up to block the program. WTF, need a fix for this so I can update some phones and sell them.
 
When I connect my phone, TU gives me an error that TSS can't be started. "httpd (PID:36) must be killed!"
Anyone got any idea? I've used older versions of TU in the past without problems. sorry, forgot to include that my iphone is IP4 on 4.1 limera1n.

I'm having the same problem, and killing the process doesn't work. When I kill it, it just pops up again with a different PID number.
 
This is what I found

Did some digging and posted on his web site. This os the answer I was given by developer. Google is a common search engine. Usually when people have questions that others have already answered millions of times over, they type in those questions in Google's search box and amazingly, Google is able to return many results containing the previous answers.

You have web sharing running turn it off and l2search. I'm saying this as politely as I can as I realize you are probably new to this.

Nice guy; yeah right. At least it solves the problem. Good luck to all.
