Dial back your iPhone 3G or 3GS to a previous iOS

As mentioned before, iOS 4.0 on the 3G iPhone is not awesome—it’s slow, over heated, quickly drains the battery and is generally unstable. And though Apple is apparently aware of the problems and is working on fixing the situation, the rest of us need to get stuff done in the meantime.

My friend, Mike Bjorndal ( @mbjorndal ) pointed me to this iHackintosh article that allowed me to put my iPhone in DFU mode, restore an older firmware and boot back out of DFU mode again. After restoring my apps and settings in iTunes, I was back in business with a faster 3G iPhone experience running an older firmware.

Keep in mind, many of the apps you may be running now might require iOS 4.x and will be inaccessible from an older version of the OS. I take no responsibility for any lost data. Backup and then backup again…and then reconsider doing this hack.

Where did that post go?

I’ve had a few people ask about where some of the older posts from the original incarnation of MacMerc have gone. They’re all here… somewhere. Everything that was on the old site in the way of articles, reviews and news posts has been transferred over, but the links to where they once were may no longer work… in fact they probably won’t work.

I’m in the process of tracking down someone who knows the ways of htaccess and might be willing to help me set up a more efficient redirect but, in the meantime, if you can’t find a post from old MacMerc on new MacMerc, comment below and I will do my best to track it down.

Better yet, if you post a comment with the old link, I’ll track down where that post went and make sure the link redirects.

What can I help you find?

Adobe loads their site up a bunch of CS4 demos

adobeCS4 20080923 181530 Adobe loads their site up a bunch of CS4 demosHave you updated to Adobe Creative Suite 4 yet? Yeah, me neither. Who has that kind of scratch laying around in this economy?

In the meantime, Adobe has posted a few CS4 demos to get you hooked on these apps while you save up to purchase them.

And if you’d rather your postal carrier deliver your CS4 demos rather than downloading them yourself, Adobe offers trial DVDs of both the Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium (USD$10.99) and the Adobe Creative Suite 4 Master Collection (USD$15.99).
