FireCore had released an updated version of their jailbreaking tool – Seas0nPass to support tethered jailbreak for Apple TV software update 5.2.1 for Apple TV 2 few days back.
Apple had released Apple TV software update 5.2.1 last month, which included a number of security related fixes as well as a redesigned Hulu experience.
Though Apple TV’s sales have been picking up, Apple hasn’t yet released an SDK for the platform to open it to third party developers. Instead, developers have been using the iOS SDK to pair devices with the Apple TV using AirPlay, the most notable example being Real Racing.
Hot on the heels of releasing iOS 6.1.3 for iOS devices, Apple also released an update for the Apple TV, bumping its software version to 5.1.2. The update contains a number of security related fixes as well as a redesigned Hulu experience.
If you didn’t upgrade and jailbreak your Apple TV 2 using Seas0nPass due to the lack of availability of XBMC media center for Apple TV Software Update 5.2 (iOS 6.1) then we’ve some good news.
Shortly after rumors of an Apple TV media event in March were debunked, TechCrunch contributor MG Siegler, based on his own sources, claims that Apple’s lining up something TV related for this fall. While he doesn’t have any specifics as to whether this would be about Apple’s long rumored full-fledged television or an SDK, he believes that third party apps would be a vital part of the equation.
Couple of days back, FireCore released the much awaited update for Seasn0nPass based on the evasi0n jailbreak, which allows users to jailbreak Apple TV on iOS 6.1 (Apple TV Software Update 5.2).
In this tutorial, I’ll give you step-by-step instructions on how to jailbreak your Apple TV 2 using Seas0nPass.
Apple has been calling the Apple TV a “hobby” ever since it was first introduced, but what if the device had much more potential beyond accessing content (TV shows, movies, music) from the iTunes Store. Its AirPlay capabilities have already shown us that beaming games off your iOS device to your TV’s large screen is a bit like console gaming, but not many games take advantage of that.
Last November, Apple had released a revamped version of the Remote app for iOS with support for iTunes 11 features like Up Next.
If you are facing issues with the Remote app then you may want to update it as Apple has just released an update, which includes seveal improvements for stability, search results, rating songs and sorting podcasts.
