Access Images/Videos on your Slide to Upgrade Stuck iPhone/iPad

If your iPhone, IPad or iPod as been hit by the #slidetoupgrade bug you might first want to get back your pictures and videos.

Here is the dummy's guide for people like me
  1. Disconnect the USB cable from your Phone 
  2. Plug the other end into your PC or Mac
  3. Hold down the sleep/wake button. 
  4. While doing this, connect the other end of USB cable to your Phone
  5. An iPhone/iPad drive should now show up
  6. Browse to it open the folders and you will have access to your images and videos
  7. Copy them to a safe place.
A big lesson from all of this; back up your phone, especially before any upgrade.

Worked! I can't believe it! Nice guide Thanks so much

As I didn't have any backs up and didn't want to lose my data I used method two. But in "Check for Updates" step I faced an error (1667) so Instead here's what I've done If you experienced something similar.

1) With the iPhone connected to iTunes. Press Power and Home button at the same time for 10 seconds then home button alone for 5 more seconds. iTunes logo should appear on your iPhone screen
2) Unplug then plug to iTunes again. A message will pop up on your mac/pc saying update or restore now. select cancel. then instead of selecting update option alone press down cmd and alt buttons on keyboard while pressing the update button with your mouse. A window should open up. select the downgrade update file you already downloaded that is already compatible with your device.
3) done!

Your Vote Counts : You got to make a choice

The last time I wrote I was questioning who to vote for. I now have the answer and it is simple. Vote for a better situation. There is no point saying that you are not voting as that will not stand a chance of making things better. Everyone who wants better must vote and let their voice be heard. Every Vote Counts By not voting, nothing changes if that is what you want then that is good. I must tell you that in the last general election in Jamaica in 2002, a few more votes, less than 40,000, and it could have been the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) in power and not the Peoples National Party (PNP). Simply put, if a few hundred more persons had voted for the JLP in some constituencies they would have won the last election. In the local government election in 2003 a few more votes, less than 20,000 as matter of fact, the PNP would have controlled the Parish Councils. Twenty thousand might sound like a big number but it is simply 20,000 multiples of one(1) The truth is every vote cou
