Heads Up Guys…

With the recent release of AirPlay, Apple is working on locking down your Apple TV inhabited living rooms, and what better way to show off the technology than by offering users a freebie?

It seems Apple is giving out early Christmas presents to iTunes users today by emailing out free  iTunes Movie Rental codes to selected number of iTunes users through their registered iTunes email addresses.

The free rentals appear to be limited to the United States, and it is unclear how Apple is selecting users to receive the offers.

iTunes has more than 8,500 movies, including new releases, to rent without late fees, envelopes, or queues. Try one today on us. Read more…

Yesterday Apple updated the front page of its website posting a teaser which promised us that “Tomorrow is just another day. That you’ll never forget” Check back here tomorrow for an exciting announcement from iTunes. Click Here to read yesterday’s post.

The big Tunes announcement has already come through and this exciting announcement is this: Apple has finally managed to get the Beatles, the band that changed everything, onto iTunes. This means Apple has the rights to sell “The Beatles” digital music through the AppStore and iTunes.

iTunes is now offering several Beatles albums, compilations and singles for download, with the UK iTunes store listing tracks at £0.99 each and the US iTunes store wanting $1.29.

The Beatles. The band that changed everything is now on iTunes. Get all of the studio albums and collections – each album comes with iTunes LP, featuring lyrics, photos, and more. Or you can download the digital box set that includes the band’s entire catalogue, mini-documentary features on each album, and a video of the band’s first concert on U.S. soil in its entirety, the 1964 show at Washington Coliseum.

Apple today updated the front page of its website posting a teaser which promises us that “Tomorrow is just another day. That you’ll never forget” Check back here tomorrow for an exciting announcement from iTunes.

An “exciting announcement” regarding iTunes is coming at 10:00 AM Eastern time. There have been no specific hints what the announcement might be related to.

Perhaps, it will be a cloud-based iTunes service to stream content from the new data center the company has built in North Carolina. Although, Peter Kafka from AllThingsD believes it’s unlikely that Music Subscriptions or Streaming will be announced by Apple tomorrow. Read more…

Apple has just released iTunes 10.1 which brings AirPlay support to wirelessly stream video to the new Apple TV. I was waiting on this release from Apple because this version of iTunes is required for new iOS 4.2 which has been delayed by Apple until November 16 due to serious WiFi issue within the Software / iOS 4.2 Firmware.

I have tested this iTunes version and can guarantee it is SAFE for all Jailbreakers to install and start using right away. The next thing Apple will come out with is the new iOS 4.2 which should be released by November 16th.

Here is the changelog for the new iTunes 10.1 Read more…

Last week I notified all you guys about the Cydia incompatibility with the new iOS 4.2 firmware from Apple and that it was being worked on by Saurik (Jay Freeman) and other people (chpwn) to get it up to speed and have everything ready for new iOS 4.2 release

According to chpwn and his recent tweet the Cydia is now ready for the new Apple iOS 4.2 firmware, all work has been completed and all we are waiting for is Apple iOS 4.2 Release.

Apple has informed developers that iTunes Connect will be temporarily closed from December 23rd to December 28th.

I’m sure it will piss off a lot of developers, but I guess thats one of the drawbacks of being an Apple developer, you are on Apple’s leash at all times and have to do what they say.

I think the bad thing about this closing is the fact that developers will not be able to make any changes to their apps while the iTunes Connect is down so if something goes wrong with one of their apps, the developer will have to wait until December 28th to fix any issues.

This does not affect app consumers in anyway but as I stated above, since the iTunes Connect service will be unavailable  it will not allow developers to make changes to or submit any new apps during that time frame. Read more…

Wi-Fi Sync, a popular iOS application that lets you sync your iDevice with iTunes wirelessly, has announced beta signups for its upcoming 2.0 release. Once this app comes out to public I will make sure the Cracked Version of it is posted here along with the “how to” tutorial and download links.

The 2.0 update will be free for existing users; however, the 3G sync feature will be a $5 in-app purchase (it needs server capacity).

Only one purchase of Wi-Fi Sync is needed for all of your devices. Your data is encrypted (with SSL) by iTunes and your iPhone; Wi-Fi Sync can’t read it. Read more…
