Enable carrier updates with iTunes 8.2 (final)

With the leaked beta of iTunes 8.2 (prerelease bèta 4) you could upload IPCC files to update your carrier settings. This method was very successful for the enabling of tethering on the iPhone for your carrier.

iTunes 8.2 final broke this ability to upload these IPCC files, unless you execute this line of code in the terminal: (make sure iTunes is not running)

defaults write com.apple.iTunes carrier-testing -bool TRUE
To upload IPCC files, hold alt while clicking on "Check for Update" on the summary tab in iTunes.

The AT&T Carrier Update (v5.5), required to enable MMS on the iPhone is now live and can be installed via iTunes. Just plug in your iPhone and if it doesn’t pop up immediately, hit the check for updates button.
