1. Open the Editor for Each Photo and Then Save It

This is one of the simplest tricks that might be unknown to you. It can work when iPhone photos show as gray box.  To fix the problem, you need to open and preview your picture one by one. On opening each photo, open the editor (do little edition), and then save your photo one by one. It might start appearing normally. Try it and check if it works for you. This is a solution working for some people. It is worth trying.

2. Check If Your iPhone Has Enough Storage

If the problem is not fixed yet and still your iPhone photos showing up gray, check the iPhone storage. Tap on 'Settings' to open it. Now, go to 'General' followed by 'iPhone Storage'. Check the storage and if it is insufficient, clear the unnecessary stuff from your device. On the contrary, iPhone photos are gray even if the storage is enough, the next tip might help you then.

Restore with iTunes to Delete Cydia from iPhone (iPad)

Restore with iTunes to Delete Cydia from iPhone (iPad)

It is possible to delete Cydia from your iPhone (iPad) with iTunes but this method erases all your data and restores your device to factory default. So, it is recommended that you backup all your iPhone data before proceeding. Here are the steps:

Step 1. Connect your iPhone to your computer. If iTunes does not automatically open after connecting the iPhone to computer, then open it manually.

Step 2. In iTunes, choose your iPhone from the top of the software interface. The Summary page will open. Now choose 'This computer' and then select the 'Back Up Now' option. It is highly recommended that you do not skip this step, otherwise you will lose all your iPhone data and won't be able to restore it later.

Step 3. Find and select the 'Restore iPhone' option. You will need to confirm your action to continue. Once you confirm it, iTunes will start the restoring process. All your iPhone data will be erased.

Step 4. Once the restore process is completed, you can load the backup that you have created in Step 2 to restore your data.

Apple releases the first public beta of iOS 12

Apple released this morning the first public beta of iOS 12 to its public beta testing group, allowing non-developers to test the software before its release in the fall. The first public beta of iOS 12 should match the second beta version of the developer, which was released last week.

Beta testers who have enrolled in Apple's beta test program will receive the iOS 12 beta update after installing the correct certificate on an iOS device.

Those who want to join the beta test program can register on the Apple beta test website, which allows users to access beta iOS, macOS and tvOS. Before you install a beta, make sure to create a full encrypted iTunes backup or an iCloud backup and make sure you install iOS 12 on a secondary device because the beta software is not always stable and may include bugs.

iOS 12 is a major update to the iOS operating system, featuring Group FaceTime, shared local multiplayer AR experiences, new Animoji, and a Memoji feature designed to allow you to create a custom Animoji that looks like you.

Tips to Clean Up iTunes Library

Tips to Clean Up iTunes Library

Following are some other tips to clean up iTunes library:

a. Update Your Album Artwork

iTunes automatically recognizes your albums and updates their artwork. But if for some reason it doesn’t, then you should select the individual songs and then navigate to Advanced > Get Album Artwork option and the album artwork will be updated. If a song has the wrong artwork, then right-click on that song and select Clear Downloaded Artwork option to clear it and then download it again.

b. Keep a Good Habit

Cleaning up the iTunes library is a task that should be repeated from time to time. If you keep it well-organized, then you will be able to manage your songs, podcasts, audiobooks, TV shows, movies, etc. easily and properly. Once your iTunes library is neat and organized, you should make a habit of keeping it that way.

Here are two tips to keep it in mind:

• Whenever you import new tracks into your iTunes library via File > Add to library option, delete the original tracks that iTunes copies from your computer’s hard drive.
• When you import a new album into your iTunes library, make sure that album contains all the metadata you would like it to, instead of letting unedited songs pile up.

How to Enable Do not Disturb Bedtime Mode in iOS 12

HOW THE IOS 12 DO NOT DISTURB MODE WORKS  

For those who don’t know, iOS 11 already comes with a scheduled Do Not Disturb mode. The iOS 12 DND section, on the other hand, has similar options except for the Bedtime Mode.

Here’s a glimpse of the DND settings present in iOS 11.

“Bedtime Mode” is the latest addition to the Do Not Disturb Mode in iOS 12 firmware.

It is a watered-down version of the “Bedside Mode” found in BlackBerry smartphones running BlackBerry OS 10.

What this mode does is it snoozes all your notifications, alerts, etc until you wake up. In the scheduled “Quiet Hours” period, all your notifications are transferred to History and can be accessed later.

Moreover, your screen stays dim until you wake up, that is, your screen goes back to normal when your device completes one “scheduled time” cycle.

How Many Days You'd Have to Work to Buy an iPhone X Across the World

The iPhone X undoubtedly costs a hefty chunk of change. When it launched, its $999 price tag made it the most expensive iPhone ever birthed by Cupertino.

That was compounded by the fact that the iPhone X, on average, costs more to buy in other countries — as we’ve covered before. But a recently published report by Swiss bank UBS simplifies that information with an easier-to-understand metric: how many days you’d have to work to buy one.

What's more, it supports Smart Recovery modes that can find your iPhone data quickly.

https://www.gihosoft.com/iphone-data-recovery-free.html

UBS put together the information by analyzing the local price of an iPhone, along with the average salary across 15 different professions (based on an eight-hour workday). Combined, that allowed them to derive the number of days that a person in that city would have to work to earn enough cash for an iPhone X.

If you live in New York City, you’d have to work about 6.7 days to pick an iPhone X. While a week’s pay for a smartphone may sound like a lot, the disparity becomes even more apparent in other regions.

The average person in Lagos, Nigeria would have to work 133.3 days to buy Apple’s latest and greatest.

In Beijing, China, a worker would have to put into 39.3 days of labor to net the latest iPhone.

UBS takes it a step further, however. While the iPhone X is a tech device, and something many would argue is an unnecessary luxury, the data has wider implications. UBS says the latest Apple flagship could be a representative product to “compare cost of living worldwide.”

Despite its high cost and analyst concerns that it could flop, the iPhone X has achieved surprising success. According to Apple’s latest fiscal quarter earnings call, the iPhone X netted better-than-expected results.

Still, the iPhone (and many other premium tech products) is still prohibitively pricey in many regions. Perhaps in an effort to counter that, Apple is rumored to be developing several more budget-friendly products — including a handset with iPhone X features at a lower price point.

You can no longer Downgrade to iOS 11.3.1

Apple has stopped signing iOS 11.3.1 after releasing iOS 11.4 update. This mean you can no longer update or downgrade to iOS 11.3.1.

Previously, we suggested you to downgrade to iOS 11.3.1 as a working Jailbreak is coming very soon. If you missed to downgrade then you have missed a chance to Jailbreak your iOS device. If you have saved shsh blob of iOS 11.3.1 then you can still downgrade using futurerestore tool.

Coolstar has already started to build up stable Jailbreak tool for iOS 11.3.1 as Ian Beer has released Kernal Exploit for that iOS.

Be prepared to Jailbreak your iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch as it might be coming any time soon!
