Apple Seeds iOS 5 Beta 4 to Devs

**Michael Essany** · 07-22-2011, 04:06 PM

Apple has seeded the 4th beta version of iOS 5 to developers, less than two weeks after beta 3 was released. Although we must wait until fall to see iOS 5 in its full glory, the new update (Build 9A5274d) is providing some pretty interesting insights into iOS 5 according to the devs who are now tinkering with iOS 5 beta 4.

As we've been hearing, Apple has made iOS 5 beta 4 available as an over-the-air update for the developers currently running iOS 5 beta 3. For the time being, however, there are scant reports of problems being associated with this particular download method (although we're also hearing that its already been correct). Of course, you can still get the update manually via iTunes and skip the over-the-air option altogether for now.

Per usual beta release, the fourth beta seems to address a number of bugs, although some noteworthy attributes are present, including, naturally, the OTA installation support referenced above, as well as windows-wireless syncing, and video content (in all apps, websites) now AirPlay-friendly by default

We will provide more info on the latest update as it becomes available and devs dig a little deeper into iOS 5 beta 4.

Sorry no help allowed to tell you how to activate it without a paid developers account.

This was just released. You will have to give it time for the Jailbreak devs to look it over.

Here you go. Pay and have them register your UDID or pay for a Developer account like I did

Same here. Might have to restore to 5.0b3 on iTunes and then update over the air

Does anyone know if you can WiFi Sync on a MacBook? Or just any laptop? I heard that it was only available for iMacs or desktop PCs.

**energiesource** · 07-22-2011, 06:34 PM

Downgraded to the regular 5.0b3 after the jb and now i go to update and it says my software is up to date, even though its clearly on 9A5259f, so what the hell

**Frostbite** · 07-22-2011, 07:47 PM

Can anyone with the beta tell me when the expiration date is?

**carsmovies** · 07-23-2011, 01:10 PM

It won't work due to a non function wifi tethering
