I’m trying to find a channel . The guy had a Lamborghini background, dollar sign cursor, and an English accent. Can someone tell me if they know him or he deleted his account or something?

@Logicalx honest mistake. It has been awhile since I have supported Windows.

May 26th, 2011 at 7:47 am

@Zollotech – So you expect the HOST file to work when its still a bloody .TXT file…..

Your ment to change the Altered Host file, So if you went to system properties and enabled “show file types” you’d understand that that file you dragged across is a TEXT FILE and will not work untill you DELETE the .txt extention.

Work on your windows skill before missleading people.

@zollotech it still keeps saying the same thing and i checked everything its the corrrect firmware and generation.

May 26th, 2011 at 10:22 am

@TheChavarin831 that means you downloaded the wrong file for your device. Make sure you get the firmware for your iPod and not iPhone, iPad etc. Also make sure it is for the correct generation device as well.
