Let Siri Tell You About iTunes Errors “Error-O-Pedia”

When you trying restore or update your iOS device you might often come across an iTunes error. How did you deal with it every time, google it? A new jailbreak tweak called Error-O-Pedia for Siri can now enable Siri to answer you why it’s happening,why you are getting the error and even hopefully offer a solution for solving the error to get your iOS device all fixed up for a restore or update.

Above are three screenshot examples of the Siri addon in the works. The first screenshot is just of saying to Siri, “Let’s chat” because since Error-O-Pedia is an AssistantExtensions addon for Siri, you will need to enable the chatty Siri mode to use the addon. After you enable Chatty Siri, you can say something like, “iTunes error 3200” and Siri will explain to you what the iTunes error 3200 means and how to go about getting around it.

The database for Error-O-Pedia is quite extensive, but it’s important to keep in mind that it doesn’t have every single error iTunes could possibly give you in its records. If you notice that an error message isn’t supported by Error-O-Pedia, the best thing to do is to notify the developer so they will be able to add to the database it in a future release.

Considering the usefulness of the Siri addon, one thing is for certain – you can’t use Siri if you are restoring the iOS device you installed Error-O-Pedia on since you’ll be in either DFU or Recovery mode when performing the restore or update. The key behind this Siri addon is to use your Error-O-Pedia iOS device as a go-to when another one of your iOS devices (or maybe a friend’s iOS device) has a problem. Apart from that caveat, Error-O-Pedia can be very helpful for the less experienced with iTunes that may not understand the errors and how to get around them. This addon could possibly save the user a lot of Googling.

Right now, the addon works decently, but there are some bugs the developer needs to fix for the next version of Error-O-Pedia, which will be released on the first of May. The update will fix a problem with saying, “Windows error XXXX” and also could add some more error information to the database. The update will be free for anyone that purchases Error-O-Pedia. If you are commonly plagued by iTunes errors and you have access to Siri, then check this Siri addon out.

Adobe Launches Creative Suite 6

Adobe is launching the latest version of its software package for designers and Web developers.

Adobe Systems Inc. unveiled Creative Suite 6 on Monday at an event in San Francisco. CS6 includes Photoshop, Illustrator, 14 CS6 applications and four Creative Suites, namely, CS 6 Design & Web Premium, CS 6 Design Standard, CS 6 Production Premium and CS 6 Master Collection.

Unlike previous versions, which came shrink-wrapped in a box, Creative Suite 6 will be available on a monthly subscription basis as part of Adobe's Creative Cloud offering. Subscriptions will start at $50 a month for those who sign up for a year. Subscribers will be able to download programs such as Photoshop, InDesign or Illustrator, store their work online and share files with others.

This will likely make the pricey software package more desirable to new customers who may not want to shell out thousands of dollars upfront.

Scott Morris, a senior marketing director at Adobe, compared the new pricing policy to the company's decision nearly a decade ago to start selling its design-software products in one package. The result then was higher sales, and Adobe hopes to replicate that success with its new revenue model.

Selling CS6 through subscriptions should also help Adobe reduce piracy, a persistent problem for companies that sell shrink-wrapped software.

Customers will still be able to buy CS6 as a packaged software suite, just as they can still buy the programs separately. Prices for CS6 range from $275 for the cheapest upgrade to $2,599 for the full "Master Collection."

In addition, Adobe announced support for 10 Indian languages in InDesign CS6, the launch of an online store and an increased focus on the video and broadcast industry. In the latest release, InDesign CS6 software offers support for Hindi, Marathi, Gujarati, Tamil, Punjabi, Bengali, Telugu, Oriya, Malayalam, and Kannada.

“With CS6 we are also introducing new products, new mobile workflows and advanced publishing capabilities that shows our focus on ensuring design, Web and video professionals have everything they need for the delivery of high-impact content and apps,” said David Wadhwani, Senior Vice President, Digital Media, Adobe

Which Unlock is Better for Your iPhone? SAM V.S. GEVEY

The SAM unlock tool just like an bomb to the iPhone community, folks who were locked in stubborn basebands 4.11.08 and 4.12.01 finally got a solution. And damn it, it's free! However, if you know unlock, you should know there is someone would not be happy to see that, GEVEY which announced its new unlock product on the right next day after SAM floated up, have given 5 reasons to choose Gevey SIM instead. Which one you should choose to unlock your iPhone?

Here are the 5 reasons:

REASON 1: First off, the SAM solution exploits a vulnerability found on the iTunes activation server to unlock your iPhone. If or when Apple updates the iPhone activation server, this SAM unlocked process will most likely no longer work. Our GEVEY Ultra hardware solution doesn’t rely on the iTunes activation server and will not be affected should any changes to the iPhone activation server be made by Apple.

REASON 2: The SAM unlock requires a jailbroken iPhone. GEVEY SIM Interposer works on both jailbroken and factory locked iPhones, depending on which model you own.

REASON 3: The SAM solution will not work on blacklisted iPhone models. Since the SAM solution requires your phone to be activated through iTunes, your iPhone IMEI must not be blacklisted. The original service carrier may blacklist an iPhone for many reasons, including theft, loss, or delinquent payment. GEVEY™ hardware solutions don’t require iTunes activation and can unlock blacklisted handsets.

REASON 4: The SAM unlock requires tethering or a computer connection in order to get your iPhone free from carrier restrictions. Most GEVEY solutions are plug-and-play, which means you don’t need to connect you iPhone to a computer in order to unlock it.

REASON 5: The SAM can only unlock one SIM card at a time and if you own multiple SIM cards or plan on using other SIM cards in the future, you’ll need to go through the unlock process on your phone every time you switch SIM cards. On the other hand, the GEVEY hardware solution unlocks the phone permanently, as long as your GEVEY turbo SIM is installed. With GEVEY, users can change SIM cards as often as they like. The GEVEY hardware unlock for the iPhone 4 allows users to store up to 10 SIM cards on a single GEVEY turbo SIM.

Now here is our advice, we know that few days before SAM floated up, the US carrier AT&T has announced to unlock their iPhone - this is our first advice, since it is an official way to get your iPhone unlocked for life.

The SAM method proved to be useful for those who failed to get their iPhone IMEI unlocked via AT&T’s official route. SAM works by tricking Apple activation servers, and it unlocks jailbroken iPhone 4S, iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS running on iOS 5.0, 5.0.1, 5.1. But finally, it requires jailbreaking, so it's a risk. However, it could still be the second priority for the fact that it comes free
