All the changes are made by you at your own peril. So there should be no reclamation to either the site or the author of the article.

I’m sure you have seen this screen more than once. Now we are going to correct this mistake.

Launch WinSCP with the phone where YouTube doesn’t work. Go to the folder /var/root/Library/Lockdown and copy the files data_ark.plist, device_private_key.pem, and device_public_key.pem.

I saved them in the folder

Disconnect iPhone and connect a phone where YouTube works. Go to the folder /var/root/Library/Lockdown and copy the files data_ark.plist, device_private_key.pem,and device_public_key.pem.

Save them in the folder

Copy the files you saved from a phone where YouTube works to the phone where it doesn’t work.

Select “Yes to All” for rewriting the existing files.

Close WinSCP and restart your iPhone

When I was doing this I didn’t want to use this function and deactivated YouTube, I just rewrote the files that I initially saved from my iPhone. Now I get the following screen.

In fact if you press OK, you still get access to video. I’m planning to restore my iPhone to delete the bug.

Apple buys 13% of the world’s production of flash-memory. This gigantic share in the worlds flash-memory sales is a vivid indicator of a roaring success of iPod media players.

At the moment the purchase amounts of Apple is a little lower and the prices for flash-memory have fallen. There are two opinions of the experts on the issue:

The production of iPod is higher than the demand on it
The decrease in purchase amount carries seasonal character

As spring approaches the interest towards electronics increases, and thus purchase amount of parts increase including flash-memory. Soon Apple is likely to need more flash-memory due to the replenishment in its multitouch family.

LoopRumors says: the company Apple is working on the new sensor device on base of the intelligent technology multitouch.

Apple will release the new multitouch in the middle of 2008.

The new device on the base of the technology Mutlitouch 2.0 will use a more powerful processor which will be able to cope with such complicated tasks as video-conferences iChat through wireless connection Wi-Fi. The certain model of the processor hasn’t been announced. At the same time it is possible that the device will use the new intention by Intel – Montevina

According to a second suggestion – the novelty will be realized on the base of a processor created specially for MacBook Air.

Additional information: the length of the novelty will be bigger than the length of iPhone and iPod touch. The concrete dimensions haven’t been announced. The new device will combine the features of a pocket PC and a cell phone. Among its abilities will be work with powerful applications via 3G networks. It is possible that the applications that independent developers will create with the help of SDK for Apple iPhone will be a solid base for the novelty.

iPhone capacities Expand

The British newspaper The Guardian speaks about a BBC service which is available in the streaming mode. Among the peculiar details are the intention of BBC to release iPlayer not only for Macintosh platform, but also for Apple iPhone and iPod touch in a few weeks. At the moment iPlayer exists as a web-version and a separate application which is available only for Windows.

The Register suggests that BBC will simply recode its video from Flash into H.264 as had been done by YouTube. They say that iPlayer will work only via Wi-Fi in the zone of the provider The Cloud, which has signed an agreement with BBC about the free access to BBC.co.uk and iPlayer. However, “in a few weeks” suggests the release of SDK, but BBC has never stated that iPlayer for iPhone/iPod touch is a separate application. It is likely that BBC will create a special web-site like YouTube.

Ashley Highfield, the director of future media and technology at the BBC, said:

“We have seen good and consistent growth in the daily consumption of programming and it doesn’t look to be in any way plateauing. The real question is whether it is substitutional [viewing] or additive. We don’t know but there is a reasonable amount of anecdotal evidence that it is additive. [It is] probably helping to maintain falling TV share.“

At the same time, PocketGamer.co.uk has published photos from the presentation by Gameloft where a game for iPhone was showed. Though is it quite probable that the released image is only a dummy, but not a working application. Gameloft is one of the biggest developers of mobile games and has its firm place in the niche of games for iPhone.
