Easy jailbreak, but disappointed to find out that 5 row keyboard isn't available for iOS5 yet. That and RetinalPad were the two major reasons I wanted my JP back.

I just want to say that I did the jailbreak using the cmd method and had no problems. It took about 5 minutes. Followed the instructions and it went smoothly.

i must be one of the few not having any luck with the windows version... it stays at the 'preparing for jailbreak' stage for about 30 minutes then i get a windows message saying 'absinthe has stopped working'

during the prep phase i can see a little wheel turning in the upper left of the ipad so i think the backup stage is happening.

i have a pretty huge comic library on the ipad, probably 30 gb or more (my ipad is 64gb) so i assume that's why its taking so long, but i'm not sure why it keeps failing.

any suggestions?

I had the same problems. I tried it about 10 times on 2 different PCs. Same thing, just sat on the first part until it stopped working. What I did was backup to my PC, then restore it to factory. Rebooted my PC. Ran Absinthe as Admin and it worked perfectly. Once it was done I restored my backup to get my settings back, then I sync'd my apps. Good luck.

as i start to jailbreak my ipad 2 device (5.01) it says that "The attached device has a backup password set. You need to disable the backup password in Itunes before you continue. Start iTunes,remove the backup password and start this program again."
When I go onto itunes and press on my ipad and try to uncheck the encrypted backup, it does not let me...it is just grey. Is there a solution to this?

Can anyone tell me how I can send any .ipa file to the iPad?

Or do i just restore my ipad to factory settings..jailbreak...then backup OR do i sync apps only...(will backup take away jailbreak or ruin anything..please reply in a detailed manner TY)

Just clear the password you use to activate the device in Settings and do the JB then you can re-activate the password.
