Me and my iPod!

I bought an iPod Touch 4G 32GB about 2 years ago, around the same time it was actually released on the market. Needless to say, I never let that thing out of my site. At one point however, I finally decided it was time for me to get a real cellphone, as I was previously using my ipod as my phone. Around the time of me purchasing my phone, I stopped being connected to my iPod. I forgot the passcode on it and then when it came time for me to use it again, I was SOL. There is no way possible, and I have done my research over and over and over to get into an ipod once you have forgotten the passcode. Last night was a very long night of research. I even called Apple to see if they had a solution for me. The guy said "No-Go". At one point, I had a solution previously. There was program I downloaded to my PC to view the properties of .plist files. This is the closest tutorial I found to help me with my problem, unfortunately my ipod was already locked so I was unable to connect to wifi to ssh into it. I did have SBS Settings and could turn my Wifi on and off but it was not connected to the proper wifi network. http://www.ehow.com/how_8711268_delete-iphone-passcode-through-ssh.html 

This tutorial would have helped. I eventually got frustrated, backed up my ipod completely and reinstalled the 4.1 OS on it by downloading the OS from one of the sites that offers direct links to apple's iOS files. I then used Tiny Umbrella, saved my shsh blobs and then turned the TSS server on. Went into itunes, held shift down while selecting "restore" and selected the OS I downloaded. It reinstalled my iOS and cleared everything. I then re-jailbroke my iPod using greenpois0n and Cydia's back on. Added some music but it's still nothing like what it was before. I now have to find a way to get into my backup and delete the passcode and restore it back to my previous state. If you have any suggestions, that would be great! I also added a bunch of sources to Cydia in order to download different things. http://jaxov.com/2012/01/top-10-best-cydia-sources-repos-of-2012/ <--that is a good list of sources to add to your Cydia.

Side Note: I purchased a mobile wifi hotspot from Clear. I then downloaded Talk-a-tone to my ipod and was able to use it just like a cell phone as long as I was connected to wifi. Of course I had to have a headset plugged in to hear the people I was talking with! I had unlimited phone service for $45 a month. This worked great for a while but became limited. Clear's service didn't work everywhere and with the 4G only plan, I couldn't take my "phone" out of town with me. I end up purchasing a MyTouch 4G Slide from T-Mobile. I love my phone!

My New Adventures

I haven't been doing much blog posting, but I figure now is as good of time as any to get back to it. I'll be  posting my MAC adventures, as well as any information I feel will be helpful to becoming self sufficient, having a business, graphic design related and creating a residual income!

Some life updates:

I'm now a MAC. I no longer use a PC as my primary computer.

I attend Full Sail University FULL TIME! I'm in the Bachelors of Graphic Design degree program and I am successfully achieving a 4.0 GPA! Go Me!

I am a Graphic Designer now as well. I've been working at it for almost 2 years. I'm simply going to school to learn what I don't know and solidify my skills. I'm working on getting my graphic design firm off the ground. Look out for N-DesEYEgn Creative Media.

I'm constantly trying to think of ways to make more money! If you need some work done, a blog written, graphic design, printing, promotions, or anything related to computers such as fixing a computer, needing software for your computer, etc., let me know! I am also very knowledgeable about starting businesses, writing business plans, getting your business incorporated, etc. So don't hesitate to ask me anything.

You can check out my website at www.ndeseyegn.com. Also my old website has some of my work on it at www.wix.com/ndeseyegn/n-deseyegn. You can also find my most updated work on my Facebook page Facebook.com/ndeseyegn .

Fix Magnet Links for torrents using Chrome!

One day while trying to make use of torrents, I accidentally clicked a button that stopped my favorite browser, Google Chrome, from being able to handle magnet links. I searched high and low to find an answer and it took me about a month to find it. I wanted to make it easier for others to find the answer so I've posted it below. Let me know if this works for you.

For MAC OS:

Step 1: Exit Google Chrome. Make sure you have completely exited by right clicking the icon and selecting "quit".

Step 2: You'll need to have a program installed that will allow you to view hidden files and folders on your mac. I personally use "Main Menu". They have a 15-day free trial that you can use if this will be the only use you need for it. You can download it from here: http://download.cnet.com/MainMenu/3000-2094_4-10558513.html . Once you install the program, open the menu. The icon should be located in the top right of your screen by your clock. Scroll down to "User" and then under the user menu select "Show invisible files".

Step 3: Open find and in the search bar type "Library". Click on the folder and navigate to: Application Support/Google/Chrome/local state

Step 4: Open "Local State" in textedit.

Step 5: Scroll down the file until you see "Protocols". Then under protocols you should see the word "magnet".  Change the word "true" to "false" and save the file. DONT CHANGE THE FILE FORMAT!

Step 6: Relaunch Chrome and test out a magnet link. It should now open up your favorite torrent program.

(If this does not work for you, open up the "Local State" file and simply delete the line w/ "magnet" on it. Don't delete anything else or it could cause instability in your web browser.)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For PC users:

Step 1: Go to your Start Menu > Run and type in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Chrome\User Data.

Step 2: Double click "Local State".

Step 3: Open the file with Notepad.

Step 4: Use ctrl+f and search for "protocol_handler" within the document.

Step 5: Look under "Protocol_handler" and find where it says "magnet". Delete that entire line and nothing else as deleting more than needed could cause instability in your web browser.

Step 6: Relaunch Chrome and try to use a magnet link. Everything should be working fine now.


Thank you for visiting my blog and I hope this helps! Leave a comment and come back soon! :)
