How to restore your iPhone when its bricked with DFU mode
Here are some simple steps I use to restore friends their iPhones.
- Connect your iPhone to your computer.
- Turn of your iPhone by holding the power button
- Wait for your iPhone to completely shutdown
- Hold POWER and HOME for 10 seconds
- Release POWER but keep holding HOME
- iTunes should now detect your iPhone in DFU mode
Note, in case you do a redsn0w jailbreak, you might need to disconnect press power and reconnect the iPhone to make it work (do this quickly).
How to fix broken Samba shares on Mac OS X Snow Leopard
I was searching for a way to get rid of my Finder problems...
I stumbled upon this blog post, this solved Finder crashes and hookups for me.
Thanks for this info!

I did a fresh install of Snow Leopard on my Macbook and soon realized my Samba shares were broken through finder - but still worked from the CLI.
Worse still once I tried to access the shares Finder would basically be dead, you'd need to Force Quit it to make it work again.
Eventually I reached for tcpdump and wireshark and found it's the pesky .DS_Store files again, seems my QNAP is denying access to them, Finder did not cope well with this.
A quick bit of hackery of my smb.conf solved it:
veto files = /.AppleDB/.AppleDouble/.AppleDesktop/.DS_Store/:2eDS_Store/Network Trash Folder/Temporary Items/TheVolumeSettingsFolder/.@__thumb/.@__desc/ delete veto files = yes
Once I got this removed and samba restarted my shares were working again in Snow Leopard. A bit annoying but not too hard in the end.
