[yastrebbb]

you have to open file as admin then you can save it if you'r in osx so you have saveas in disktop and replace it with the old one bad english but hopp it helpfull

[zeromx69]

If your in windows, navigate to hosts file and notepad, click hosts and drag into notepad and the last line, press return to goto new line and paste that and save.

I guess it would be easier to ask: Are you on Windows or OSX?

If Windows: What version?

i have windsows vista. how do i make myself admin to save file. gonna try that program tomorrow let u no how it goes

Copy the host file you your desktop to change it then copy it back to the original folder.

Right click on the file and should be a security or something tab. Never used Vista so unsure of the lingo in the tabs. I went from XP to 7 last I used it.

I'm coming from a iPhone 3G to iPhone 4, so should I start reading up on this stuff. Is it gonna be a similar situation as with the 3GS with having to add this host??

In windows go to Start and right click on nodpad and run as admin and navigate to mycomputer and open C: / windows/system32/driver/etc/host, and write this below 74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com and save. and you're done
