Thanks, Willerz. Appreciate it.

"The voice of Dayton" - Thanks! I didn't think about the incremental thing. The last December's backup that IS in the list should be close enough. (In case you don't remember, I'm from Yakima and been through your town dozens of times.)

Alright.... thank you for the response. The next question is, which .ipsw files to select for my devices. I looked the other day and honestly, couldn't determine which ones were right for my devices. I have an iPhone 4 and an iPad 2. I got the iPhone in about April or May of 2011 and the iPad...

Is it really necessary now to upgrade my jailbroken 5.0.1 to the latest (6.1.2 now?) by downloading the .ipsw file to the computer first, then putting the pad into DFU mode? It seems like I read somewhere that upgrading through the normal iTunes restore method would work 99% of the time. Thanks

After having performed backups manually on both the iPad 2 and my iPhone 4 in the latest version of iTunes, I see that the date of "Last backed up to this computer: 10/5/2011 4:33 PM" remains. I have done this backup procedure many times since then and that date never changes. The backup...

Does the new Jailbreak method require a live connection to the Internet? That, given I have updated the iPad to the latest iOS and it's ready to go? Oh yes, and what is iPad 2 "Hardware Revision A" ?? (one of the .ipsw OS files offered for the WiFi-only iPad 2). I can't remember if I have...

After having just downloaded/installed the latest version of iTunes, I have also just syc'd the iPad and the iPhone. The date of the last backup did not change from 15 months ago for either pad or phone. I did a "manual backup" twice and that date still says "Date of last backup - 10/10/2011."...

My only Internet Connection is through the iPhone. Will this next iOS6 jailbreak (thinking about the phone now) be possible given that condition? The last jailbreak (iOS 5.0.1) to both iPhone and iPad was done using downloaded copies of the new iOS files, fetched by someone else and put on a CD...

I had that problem with my Verizon iPhone about a year ago. I removed Mobile Substrate and re-installed it, and the 3G came back. One thing EVERYONE who has this problem might try BEFORE removing the OS and reinstalling/rejailbreaking is to put the device in safe mode (Hold the volume up button...

There are more "Settings" for iCab Browser in the iPad's main settings app.

The problem for me is that my only internet access, generally, is through the iPhone, and downloading that upgrade file would be painfully slow, and painfully consuming of my "unlimited" data allowance quantity. That goes double, because I have both the iPad and the iPhone to do. Thanks...

I've kept putting off going from 5.0.1 onward. Anyone think there is a compelling reason to do it now? I don't, but that could be because I just haven't taken off the blinders for some time.

I guess I should have been a little more clear on my lack of understanding issue. It's not the Galileo app I can't figure, it's the Mobile Atlas Creator program that I can't get a handle on. It has a "readme" for instructions which provide about no guidance at all. I probably should send MOBAC...

I have just downloaded Galileo Offline Maps app (it's for jailbroken phones/pads), and then purchased the comprehensive package of add-ons. I'm sure it will be fine for my needs. After that, I downloaded the Windows application, Mobile Atlas Creator (MOBAC), which will create custom maps from a...

I don't have much suggestions on your problem (you're probably one of the very first of us to have one of these), but please let us know how you get on with it. It does look interesting. One thing that comes to mind is that of doing the hard restart - holding home and on/off buttons until the...
