Just JB my iPad1. Where do you go to get apps and stuff for a JB iPad 1?

Also now that it's JB what do I need to do to keep it from updating from Apple and wiping out the JB?

You can get apps from Cydia (brown icon with a picture of a box with files in it). You can also get them from itunes. If you are asking about pirated software you are out of luck as we cannot discuss that on this forum. However you have enough computer knowledge in you to jb a device so google should point you in the direction you seek.

As for updating and not unjailbreaking (I think I may have made up a new word. YAY me!!) just do not update through itunes until a new jb with instructions has come out.

I found the section of apps, themes and stuff in Cydia after I made the post. Wasn't talking about pirate stuff, just stuff that takes advantage of the fact the iPad is JB, mainly free stuff.

So when I sync my iPad, with iTunes how do I prevent it from updating the os if Apple has something new it in the pipe?

If for what ever reason I have to reset my iPad and restore it from the back up via iTunes what state will it be in, JB or un-JB?

Thanks

iTunes will always tell you if there is a new update from Apple. The trick is never press the "Download and Install" button. Just cancel the dialogue box. Quite easy really.

As for a "reset" through iTunes, if you do this you will no longer be jailbroken. A restore wipes the iPad and sets it back to factory freshness!

Check out the stickies linked in my sig for more JB information and the answers to common questions.

Hope that helps...

Isn't there a Don't ask me again tick box, the first time iTunes mentions that a new update is available?

You know I thought there was too. Just checked, and it doesn't offer you that option any more!

UPDATE - HaHa. It offers you the option to ignore it after the 2nd time it asks! When I checked before it was the first time 4.3.2 was offered to me. Clever old Apple!
