Since Safari 3.1 it's possible to use Safari in single window mode.
That means all links which normally open up a new window, now simply load in a new tab in the current window.
To activate this behaviour, enter the following command in terminal:
defaults write com.apple.Safari TargetedClicksCreateTabs -bool true
To reverse:
defaults write com.apple.Safari TargetedClicksCreateTabs -bool false
On 1.1.3 or 1.1.4 (or maybe higher), the "passwd" utility refused to work correctly and could mess up your springboard. The tool is necessary to change the password on BSD Subsystem 2.1. To fix this problem, replace the existing "passwd" binary file with the given.
Download and extract
passwd.zip,
and move the file with AFPd (for example) to /usr/bin/ , chmod to 755:
# cd /usr/bin
# chmod 755 passwd
# passwd
# Enter new password:
# ...
When you don't use Spotlight, it's better to disable it completely.
The MDS process takes up much CPU resources and it isn't also very memory friendly.
This How-To is written for Mac OS Leopard 10.5, and should not be applied to systems running Tiger.
Start Terminal and enter the following commands:
- Stop and disable the spotlight application itself:
#cd /System/Library/LaunchAgents
#launchctl unload com.apple.Spotlight.plist (stops the application for the current user)
sudo launchctl unload -w com.apple.Spotlight.plist (disables for every user)
Just ignore the errormessage from the last command.
The reason you get the error is that you are effectively executing the command as root, but the root user hasn't any running instance of Spotlight. On the other hand, only the root user is able to disable the automatic start of Spotlight. Thus the need for the sudo command.
- Stop and disable the background server:
#cd /System/Library/LaunchDaemons
#sudo launchctl unload -w com.apple.metadata.mds.plist
- Remove the .Spotlight-V100 directories
sudo find / -iname '.Spotlight-V100' -type d -maxdepth 3 -print0
| xargs -0 -t -n1 sudo rm -rf
The find part searches for the Spotlight directories and will find the one at the system root as well as on any partitions and attached drives in /Volumes. The -print0 part is there to guard against any spaces and other special characters in filenames when executing the following rm command. The .Spotlight-V100 folders are actually empty. Stopping the mds server does this, so if you aren't bothered by these vestiges of the process, you can ignore this step.
If only some of your accounts need/want to have Spotlight enabled, you can copy the /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.Spotlight.plist to the users own ~/Library/LaunchAgents folder and enable/start Spotligth:
cp /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.Spotlight.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents/
launchctl -w ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.Spotlight.plist
Only for Dutch iPhone users.
Voor KPN gebruikers, dit is een KPN Carrier bundle.
Deze bundles bevatten informatie over een operator netwerk en er kan ook een operator logo worden mee gegeven.
Deze bundle bevat standaard informatie over het KPN-netwerk (voicmail nummer e.d.) maar ook een KPN logo.
Voer de volgende stappen uit om de bundle door de iPhone toe te kennen aan de KPN MMC/MNC-codes:
- Download KPN.bundle
- Plaats de file in /System/Library/Carrier Bundles/ via SFTP of AFP
- Maak een symbolic hard-link aan:
cd /System/Library/Carrier Bundles/ln -s KPN.bundle 20408Reboot
- Klaar
Yes it's possible ! You can have 1.1.4 on your iPhone while keeping the 4.6 bootloader. The advantage of keeping 4.6 is the possibility to flash a custom bootloader in the future, which isn't possible with the 3.9 bootloader. It's also not possible to upgrade from 3.9 to 4.6, so if you got BL 4.6, this guide is for you!
Here we go:
- Restore your iPhone to 1.1.4 with iTunes.
You can find 1.1.4 here
- Download ZiPhone 2.2 and 2.5c
- Keep your iPhone with iTunes connected and run ZiPhone 2.5c
- Click on Advanced, and check Jailbreak Activation, and start the proces
- When the proces is finished, quit ZiPhone 2.5c and start ZiPhone 2.3b
- Check 'Unlock' and start the proces
- Done !
Now you have a full working iPhone, with firmware version 1.1.4, bootloader 4.6, modem (baseband) version 04.02.13_G and working "Locate Me" feature !
