I have found a hack of how to firs time sync your iphone via unofficial (cheap Chinese) cable. It may be a hint to you if you are buying an iPhone from a second hand without accessories. You will need TADAA! Official Apple cable but not for a lightning port. And another Apple device. The thing is if you connect both your new iPhone or iPad via lightning port and using unofficial cable and ANY of your Apple devices using OFFICIAL Apple cable. It will trust your lightning connected device. Some magic happens and one device connected with official apple cord makes another device connected via official cord too. TADAA. Now you can sync at least once... and use Wi-Fi sync later on... Hopoe it helps you. Comments?

There are many programs in the market that can handle it for you. But you can do it with default Mac OS X tools. Those steps must be made in terminal.

You need to change the image type from .iso to .img that dd util supports. To do this type a command like this: hdiutil convert -format UDRW -o /path/to/destination/file.img /path/to/source/file.iso You must see output similar to this: Reading Image File Name Here (Apple_UDF : 0)…...

I've wanted more from my PI, besides Time Machine functions, established in my earlier articles. So I've decided to make it a SAMBA server. I have a Mac and a Windows PC. And several iPads/iPhones. So the decision was obvious. To access my storage content I'd need a samba share. Because it is recognized by all this tech. iPad has Oplayer, to watch movies without conversion... GoodReader for docs. One word - SAMBA share. SO this article will be about adding a samba share to your Raspberry Pi. Note I have a Time Machine already set up. But it won't matter much. I only have another drive index letters and so on. I'll try to cover this as much as possible. And macs somewhat easily read NTFS filesystems. So we will be mounting NTFS filesystem volume to a Raspberry Pi with SAMBA network sharing. Let's get on to it. To set up a Raspbery Pi home network Samba server you will need to: - Connect an external drive (USB HDD in my case). - Update fstab for auto-mount...
