the web developer’s journal

When I have problems with software or hardware, I usually start by searching on Google and finding dozens of solutions on different blogs and forums. Of course, in each forum there about a dozen solutions that you have to try for yourself also. I have an iPhone unlocked using SimFree 1.7 and here is the simple solution to activating YouTube on your unlocked phone after receiving this message:

“You must first connect to iTunes with an internet connection to enable YouTube.”

These instructions assume that you have the “Installer” application (from jailbreakme.com) on your iPhone.

1. Go to Installer
2. under Sources folder, install Community Sources
3. Under System folder, install BSD Subsystem
4. in Sources icon (still in installer), add this source i.unlock.no
5. Under Unlocking Tools folder, install YouTube Activation
6. Restart
