  • Do you know if I can restore my iphone contacts and other data using ssh? I have the backup data and I want to use ssh to put it back onto my phone.

  • @ninjajep I have no idea how to do that, try searching google

  • lol kids now know more than us in technology... how embarrasing lol

    thank you though.

  • HA! You're welcome and I think you're right. We have more time on our hands (usually) so that might be the reason...

  • @iminichrispy "more time on our hands"

    LOL That's what I was going to say. Man I miss all the time I had as a kid! I knew so much, and now sadly, I'm getting behind the times :(

    Heck I had my iPhone for months before I bothered jailbreaking. If I was younger I probably would have jailbroke it the same day I bought it :D

  • @janX9 Yea. I think it's gonna be kinda wierd when I'm older. I wonder if I'll still be so in to technology as I am now...

see all

  • haha yea i think that's the reason lol

    most of the time wer all busy lol

  • Is your iPod connected to the internet. Make sure your device's screen is on so that you don't lose your wifi connection.

  • Hey man, I put all of the same fields, and the correct IP address, and it times out when it's connecting. Not sure why, help appreciated!

  • Where do you get WinSCP? It's a program you must download. Does that answer your question?
