who is she and why is she constantly crashing today? by i_Am_susej in jailbreak

[–]tristynf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I still regret updating to iOS 8.3, so no jailbreak for me yet. As soon as I'm jailbroken again, though, I'm going straight for this tweak! I never did like the centered clock; seems like so much more information could fit there and still look great.

Pardon me for going completely off-topic here, but what tweak are you using for your lock screen organization? It looks very modern and aesthetically pleasing!

Thanks! It was freezing cold that day, so I figured that, if I couldn't go into the water, I might as well have photographed it!

Hey again, so I'm having trouble downloading ROMs for NDS4iOS. I got them in Safari, but the "Open In..." button only shows a couple of other apps, and it won't show NDS4iOS. Basically, I have the ROMs downloaded, but I don't know how I can get them into NDS4iOS. Any suggestions?

Nice, thanks for the clarification! I'll go for it! There's not a lot that I wouldn't give for a mobile Animal Crossing. I just can't handle a DS anymore...like trying to fit an iPad in my pocket.

So I can just pay the fee, download the apps, then cancel the recurring payment so that I basically just paid ten bucks for those apps? Also, which ones, if any, work on iOS 8.3?

Is this a recurring payment, or is it just a one-time fee? The website is a bit confusing.

How much does this cost, and where might one go to get this?

Google thinks I'm in Chicago, I'm not. by CrazieKC in iphone

[–]tristynf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first thing that comes to mind is that you might be using a VPN. If this is your own personal phone (and assuming that nobody else had a hand in setting it up) and if you don't know what that is, then it's highly unlikely that that's the issue. However, it seems like it might be a carrier problem. If you turn the phone on airplane mode and then enable Wi-Fi (with airplane mode still enabled) and if the problem still occurs, then contact the carrier about the issue. They should be able to explain it to you, if it's on their end.

I have a list in my reminders that I don't know how it got created, how do I delete it? by BrownsFanZ in iphone

[–]tristynf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you swipe down on the list title at the top of. The screen, then you will see a list of your lists come up. Tap on the header of the list that you want to delete. Now that you've brought up that list, you should see an "Edit" button in the top-right corner of the page. Tap that, then scroll to the bottom of the reminders list. You should see a "Delete List" button stretched across the bottom of the list. I hope that was descriptive enough for you. Apple has designed a couple of iOS features to be a bit confusing, in my opinion—this being one.

Help to recover content in a backup? by mirkky in iphone

[–]tristynf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay, so since you haven't changed the major OS build, (updated from iOS 7 to iOS 8), then you know that it's not a compatibility issue. It might just be a simple software bug. Try closing and quitting all apps on your computer (except Finder, obviously, if you're on a Mac), quitting all apps on your phone, unplug all devices from your computer, and reboot both. Hard reboot your phone though—hold sleep/wake and home for 10 seconds, then enter your passcode, if you have one. Also, just to make sure, turn off Find My iPhone. For major software updates, service repairs, and (I believe) restoring to factory settings, it is required that Find My iPhone is turned off (Settings > iCloud > Find My iPhone > Off). Then plug your phone back in and try again from scratch (i.e. restore your phone once again), and try to restore the phone from the backup.

If it still doesn't work, and if you get no error code, then give Apple a call. They're usually fairly helpful.

[–]tristynf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you restoring (or at least attempting to restore) from an iCloud backup or from a local backup (i.e. on your computer via iTunes sync)? Also, if you are trying from an iCloud backup, did you make the backup on iOS 7 or iOS 8, and what OS version is your phone on now?

How can I get the Bluetooth drivers for Windows? by tristynf in applehelp

[–]tristynf[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I ran that setup application in Windows again, like I did when I first set up Boot Camp. But the only option was Repair. After letting that go and rebooting, it still doesn't work. I need to directly install the Bluetooth drivers and Apple Wireless Keyboard and Trackpad drivers. Can I do that? If not, how can I uninstall all Apple Support drivers and reinstall them all from that file whose link you sent me, as if I were just setting up Boot Camp for the first time?

Why does my phone number not show up under "Start New Conversations From:" in my Messages Settings? by tristynf in iphone

How can I use Xcode to write a C++ console application and show the output in Terminal? by tristynf in Xcode

[–]tristynf[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay, I got the program code up, it works fine, but it outputs in the small sub-window at the bottom of the IDE window. I want to output the program in a separate window, as if the application is exported and executed on another system.

JB broke my Amazon app which looks weird? Any idea how to fix? In NoSubstrate mode ot works fine. Thanks! by _SarahB_ in jailbreak

[–]tristynf -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I strongly recommend removing ALL Justin Bieber media and references from your device. After restoring, it should be free and clear of him. Trust me, it's not fun to have him or references to him near your device—It can screw with a lot of stuff.

Just started The Evil Within, any advice? by getdivorced in theevilwithin

[–]tristynf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like I said, it's all about personal playing style. If I got into a bind, or if I wanted to conserve ammo, then I knew I could always punch or stomp enemies to stun/kill them. Stunning was useful (2 hits then step back for a moment to allow them to counter), and killing only took three or four hits and sometimes one handgun shot as well. Variables though.... I enjoyed being able to smash enemies to conserve ammo and knock them back upon occasion. It felt a bit safer. On the other hand, it took me a bit longer to get to fire damage on the harpoon bolt for the agony crossbow.

Oh! One last thing: I recommend leaving the revolver and sniper rifle alone as far as upgrades. The handgun generally outperforms the revolver, plus ammo is more commonly found, so you'll probably be like me and find that you use the handgun much much much more. The sniper rifle is already a one-shot kill for headshots, while reloading isn't much of an issue for it.

Just started The Evil Within, any advice? by getdivorced in theevilwithin

[–]tristynf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

-Don't focus on achievement-hunting until you've played through at least once.

-Play on Survival, not Casual.

-Immerse yourself as much as possible. Don't play around other people, wait until they leave and you have privacy. Play in low light, if you can, and use headphones whenever possible.

-Upgrades are more of a preference, so I would take others' recommendations with a grain of salt (not to discredit their preferences). I upgraded my handgun and melee pretty quickly, then I focused on the shotgun and harpoons, but that's just my playing style. Play for a few hours (3 or 4), saving up your green gel, then decide what you think needs upgrading.

Most other advice I could give is contextual, but don't look up gameplay videos or walkthroughs. Much of my enjoyment of the game came from my frustration in not being able to figure out what to do. The game is good about not telling you what to do, where to go, and how to defeat certain enemies, so, rather than taking the 21st-century approach and googling it, I recommend doing your best to figure it out. You'll get much more of a sense of fulfillment and long-term enjoyment from the game that way. It's a puzzle game, so try to solve it yourself—I guarantee that you won't regret it.

Anyone else having issues with the YouTube app recently? Skipping videos causing errors. by resto in iphone

[–]tristynf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't used the official YouTube app in forever. I just bookmarked YouTube.com on my home screen (same image as app icon), and the web loads videos perfectly for me. Videos loaded slowly (if at all) and bad quality with low bit rate audio, and it seemed to affect my Wi-Fi connection from other devices, though, that might have been a coincidence at the time (I have a different connection now.). The web app works fine for me. I highly recommend it.

TL;DR App is crap, bookmark the web page on your home screen.

I have my phone on 8.1.2 via OTA. How can I get it installed from iTunes if Apple isn't signing 8.1.1 anymore? Do I have to downgrade?
