This accesory is not made to work with Iphone error

I was getting this error every 10-15 mins on my iphone, which would drain my battery, so i was looking for some fix. There were lots of people talking about hardware issue, charger problem, version problem . I tried a lot of things but what worked for me is replacing the iapd file. The instructions on how to do that is given here.

The only issue I had was I was unable to get the "wget" from my cydia and I added the source to my cydia sources http://cydia.myrepospace.com/etgamingx/

How to extract .daa files free (Windows)

.daa extension (Direct Access Archives) is a proprietary format by PowerISO, used commonly toarchive large ISO files (ISO is a disk image format that you can burn to a disk using Nero or any other burner). .DAA files format has features like compression, password protection, and splitting to multiple volumes.

DAA files can be opened by PowerISO, but unfortunately, it is free to use only for small files. Many file .daa that you get over the internet, especially those from Linux users, or file-sharing services (like BitTorrent) will be in DAA format.

This tutorial will show you how open .daa files for free on Windows. Extracting .daa extension files require two steps – converting the DAA file to an ISO file, and then burning the ISO file to a disc orextracting the ISO to get the required files.

Open DAA files on Windows

To get .daa files open in Windows, follow the steps below (screenshots have been included for your convenience). We will convert the DAA file to ISO format first. You can then extract files from the ISO file using IZArc (which we will do below) or burn it to a disc.
1. Download DAA 2 ISO from this page. Save it to Desktop. Extract (by double-clicking) the zip folder to get a folder named daa2iso.
2. Open the folder. There are two files named daa2iso.


3. Double-click the daa2iso file with a label application to the right side (and has a colorful icon), You will get a command prompt along with a window to choose your files.

Double-click the .daa file you need to extract.

4. In the window that comes up, enter a file name and hit Save.


5. The file will be extracted in a few seconds (it takes more time if you have a larger file). The command prompt window will appear with the confirmation

6. Hit enter key to quit the command prompt. The converted .iso file will be saved in the same location as the original .daa file.
7. If you have 7Zip, open it and extract the ISO file. Else, follow the next step.
8. Download and install IZArc.
9. Open Computer and navigate to where you saved the .iso file (which is where you saved the original .daa file also).
10. Right-click the file and click IZArc > Extract to .\ where stands for your file
11. You will now have the files extracted into a folder of the same name as the .iso file, in the same location.

Rotate PDF Document free

Sometimes we scan some documents and create a pdf to send it in email. But the pdf document is not straight, you want to rotate it clockwise or counter clockwise. It is hard to do if you don’t have Adobe writer. The best thing to do then is upload the file to a website called RotatePDF.net which allows you to rotate the file in clockwise or anticlockwise direction for free. The limit is 10MB for a file. If you have a file bigger than 10MB break the file into 2 files using PDFTK(again free).

iphone time zone sync for Calendars


I faced a problem recently on my iphone 3G. When I sync my iPhone with a Microsoft Outlook Calendar the appointmens in my Iphone are an hour later, I am in CST(Central Time) but the iphone is showing the EST(Eastern Time). And it was both ways, if I set a calendar item in iPhone, it will show an hour later in Outlook calendar the originating from Outlook showup on my iPhone as an hr later than what it was on Outlook. I checked the settings> General > Date and Time for time zone which was correctly set to CST.


Example - Outlook appointment 1:00 p.m. after syncing with iPhone the same appointment on my iPhone is shows as 2:00 p.m(Stays the same on Outlook)

With the Iphone 3G you can fix the time zones by:
1. Go to Settings
2. Go to Mail, Contacts, Calendars
3. Scroll down to Claendar- Time Zone Support
4. Change the time zone to your time zone.
