How to Give An iPhone App This Holiday Season

Alex Heath ∙ Updated February 6, 2016

It's that time of year. Christmas music, staff parties, plenty of egg nog, and gifts. As fellow iPhone users, what better gift is there to give each other than what we crave: more apps.

We could all probably name at least a few apps that we would like to have, but haven't bought yet. How nice would it be to wake up on Christmas day and have that new app you've been wanting?

Luckily, Apple allows you to "gift" an app to a friend. If you didn't know about gifting apps, I'm going to walk you through how to gift an app, along with some gift-giving tips...

iTunes 10.1.1 is Out

Sébastien Page ∙ December 15, 2010

Apple just released an update to iTunes with version 10.1.1 which apparently fixes some issues with syncing and unexpected crashes. I personally never experienced this issue but I guess it was a problem for some of you.

iTunes 10.1.1 seems to be safe for jailbreakers and unlockers but it might be a wise thing to wait for an official confirmation from a Dev Team member. In the meanwhile, this is the changelog for iTunes 10.1.1...

Apple Declares The Hottest Apps of 2010

Alex Heath ∙ Updated October 10, 2018

In classic iTunes tradition, Apple has posted their "iTunes Rewind" for 2010. The best content from the iTunes Store is listed in different categories, from "top grossing" to "hot trends."

A huge section of iTunes Rewind 2010 is dedicated to the App Store, as one might imagine. There's a huge selection of chosen apps to check out...

App Store Promo Codes Can Now Be Used Worldwide

Alex Heath ∙ Updated January 24, 2016

Apple recently announced on the iTunes Connect website that app developers can distribute promo codes to iTunes users outside of the U.S. Previously, promo codes only worked for iTunes users in the U.S.

This news is a great thing for app users around the world. You now have the opportunity to receive codes for apps that developers wish to share for free...

Apple Feeling Generous With Free iTunes Movie Rentals

Jeff Benjamin ∙ Updated January 24, 2016

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?

According to a report from 9 to 5 Mac, Apple is randomly sending out iTunes rental codes good for any one of the 8,000 plus movies available on the iTunes store. Of course this totally coincides with the fact that the Apple TV 2 operates on a rentals based model, so this may just be Apple wanting more users to give their service a trial run...

PhotoAlbums+ Makes Managing Your iPhone Photos a Walk in the Park

Jeff Benjamin ∙ Updated April 3, 2018

Call me crazy, but I'm convinced that there's a special roundtable meeting each week at Apple where all they do is sit around projector and examine what jailbreak apps released the previous week.

I can hear it now; "Uh, yeah, and uh, PhotoAlbums+! Yeah, uh, that looks like something we should have had from the, uh, very beginning, let's use that!"

Okay, so that probably doesn't happen, but PhotoAlbums+ is the latest example in a long line of Cydia store releases that will inevitably appear in an upcoming release of iOS. Why do I say this? Take a look inside and see what makes this tweak a no brainer for Photo Album users.

Wi-Fi Sync: iTunes Compatibility and 2.0 Hype

Guest Author ∙ Updated April 3, 2018

The developer of the popular Cydia app Wi-Fi Sync has confirmed that the current desktop versions are completely compatible with iTunes 10.1. Some are holding off due to the hopeful release of an untethered jailbreak, now that iOS 4.2.1 is right around the corner.

Poll: What Do You Think of Apple’s Day “You’ll Never Forget”?

Sébastien Page ∙ November 16, 2010

The news fell a little earlier today. The Beatles are now available on iTunes. Hippie! Yippie! Looking at the comments on our post about it, and also at people's reaction on Twitter, I sense that most of you aren't really happy about this.

To me, as a consumer, it's a big disappointment. I understand it's a big deal for the music industry but who cares? We're not music industry execs.

I never sat down and said to myself "gosh I wish the Beatles were on iTunes". No, I just inserted every Beatles' CD in my computer years ago and digitalized all of them. Done. I never thought about it again.

But this news is not just about me. It's about all of us, so let's see what you have to say...

Spoiler: Tomorrow’s Apple Event is Not About iTunes Cloud, It’s About…

Sébastien Page ∙ November 15, 2010

Earlier today we told you about Apple having a big event tomorrow, which is centered around iTunes. At the time, we speculated that the event will most likely be to introduce iTunes Cloud, a service that would allow you to stream music from iTunes, anywhere you are.

Well, it looks like this is not going to happen, at least not tomorrow. According to the WSJ, Apple will announce tomorrow that they finally have the rights to the entire Beatles catalog and that it will be available on iTunes...

Apple Releases iTunes 10.1 [Jailbreakers Beware]

Sébastien Page ∙ November 12, 2010

Apple just released iTunes 10.1, bringing AirPlay to the table. iTunes 10.1 will also be necessary to update your iPhone to iOS 4.2, whenever it's released.

So far there is no indication whether iTunes 10.1 is safe for iPhone jailbreak and unlock, so my advice to you is to stay away from it until we get confirmation from the Dev Team that it is indeed safe.

Here is the changelog of iTunes 10.1...
