Step 8: Drag the app you just downloaded into iTunes

  8. Horace says:

    Has anybody encountered an issue with dragging the app into iTunes? I have upgraded to iTunes 9, perhaps a bad idea.

  9. Brian says:

  10. Dave says:

    did this on my jailbroken touch 2g. doesn’t have gps function but maps, routes and directions work great.

  11. Didier says:

    You must extract the RAR file into a new folder on your PC. Open your iTune application on your PC, then you just double click on the .IPA file. This will load the TomTom app into iTune. After that synch your iPhone et voilà !

I dont know what I am doing wrong please help!

    Help plz

  25. tiltking says:

    wtf im stumped helppppppppp

  26. Nate says:

    It’s telling me that it cannot install because there is not enough space but it’s telling me that I have 2.33 gigs left which is more than enough. Any suggestios???

  27. notorious says:

    any1 no the australia tom tom torrent link?

  28. Quidam says:

    If you’re getting the ‘not enough space’ problem, that’s because it takes DOUBLE the space to install — you need about 2.5GB to just install it… you should get that extra space back after the install…

    I’m installing now and it’s taking FOREVER — 40 minutes is longer than you think…

  29. marco says:

    que pedo no puedo

  30. anon says:

    so how big is the final file i extracted 1 part and its like 1.3 million bytes is that normal? could it be that i extracted all of them t once?

  31. YOOOO says:

  32. Mary says:

    —- For everyone who have this error message —-

    “The application “US-Canada” was not installed on the IPhone because an unknown error occured (0xE8008001).

    Follow this steps:

    HOW TO INSTALL CRACKED APPS:
    ____________________________

    * You will firstly have to Jailbreak your iphone, which installs Cydia.
    Google DEV TEAM to find the official torrents

    * Then to install cracked apps you will need to:

    * Go into Cydia on Iphone/Ipod touch

    * Go to manage, then sources

    * Add: http://cydia.hackulo.us/

    * Next search for “AppSync” (Mipatch will not work with 3.0) and install onto iphone

    * Reboot / restart iphone

    * Install a free app from AppStore / itunes Store

    * Next add the app to itunes or double click IPA file — I have a lot of problems to install (TomTom U.S. & Canada v1.1 – iPhone (Cracked IPA)

    * Sync your iphone to itunes and App will be add to your iPhone

    JOB DONE

    It works, the magic is in this AppSync. Firmware 3.1 users will need the appropriate version

    Thanks a lot

  39. Mindless says:

    Superb guide – downloaded and installed in no time at all and works perfect – Iphone 3gs 3.1.2 .. Thanks for the quick guide :)

  40. AR says:

    Do you have to extract each file (parts 1-13 which were downloaded as a .rar) of the torrent and then add all those ipa’s to itunes? then sync.

  41. AR says:

    In iTunes, when I click on my iPhone, go to applications, and then want to sync; it seems that iTunes wants to delete all the other un-registered apps i have. Anyone else having this problem? I do not want to have to delete the 15 other apps i have…

  42. AR says:

    Tomtom is up and running!!! Yay! All the hassle was well worth the $50 savings.
    My problem was that I did not have the iTunes I was using ‘authorized’ on the computer. So I had to click the Store tab – Authorize computer. Then I synced the iPhone to the computer, all my apps were deleted and put into iTunes. Next I just made sure the tomtom app was also listed and re-synced my phone. Then magic! Free tomtom! (to do all this I selected my device in iTunes, then clicked the applications tab, and then ‘apply’ with the sync applications box checked)
    Nice work. Check out youtube videos as well if you are having problems.

  43. Curro says:

    THANKS!! it works!

  44. AR says:

    I highly suggest following the same steps buy the the new version tomtom 1.2. It has text to speech capability.
    I dl the torrent from some dude named canoli.
    google tomtom v1.2 canoli u shud be able to find it. so much better!

  45. nizam says:

    it works for me..

  46. JNA says:

    go to start – music – itunes – mobile installations. If the folder is not there then just make one and put your .ipa in that folder. then right click on the .ipa and open with itunes. That will put the .ipa into itunes. then connect the iphone and sync app.

  47. JNA says:

    sorry correction … the folder should be named “mobile applications”

  48. TC88 says:

    Very nice… I just wish I had of got my iphone before my tomtom

    Hey iedereen,

    enkele dagen geleden heb ik via rapidshare tomtom western and central europe gedownload.
    nu echter zit ik met het volgende probleem: er zit geen .ipa file in…
    ik weet hoe ik software moet instaleren met een ipa bestand maar hoe moet dit zonder?
    of bestaat er een methode/programma waarmee ik een ipa bestand kan maken? dit had ik al eens getest met de files in te paken en .rar te veranderen in .ipa omdat iemand dit op een forum had geschreven, dit werkte niet.

    iemand een idee?
    als je hierover iets weet zou je mss ook een mailtje kunnen sturen aub, op wusulus@hotmail.com

    alvast bedankt allemaal :)
