How to Jailbreak Your iPad 2 or other Apple Device

This week saw the release of the jailbreak for iPad 2’s. Even on the first day of release of the iPad 2 people wanted to jailbreak it! Now you can and it’s as easy as visiting a website.

This new jailbreak was released on Wednesday and within 24 hours over 1 million devices had been jailbroken.

If you are not sure what a jailbreak is then you should probably not try this. What it does is enable you to install apps that have not been approved by Apple.

We do not condone the use of illegal software when jail breaking your device!

So what do you do to jailbreak your iPad 2? Unlike some previous jailbreak solutions, this one is very simple and anyone can do it.

Make sure you are running iOS 4.3.3 – other versions will be supported soon.

Then make sure you have a backup of your iPad 2.

On your iPad 2, open Safari and visit http://www.jailbreakme.com

Tap the FREE button, then tap the INSTALL button.

The whole process should only take a minute.

On your Home screen you will now see a new app called Cydia – tap it.

You then need to tap on User, Hacker or Developer – for most people User is fine. Then tap Done.

All the packages and updates will then be downloaded to your iPad 2.

That’s it – you are jailbroken!

If you want to do know more about Cydia and what you can install and run on your jailbroken iPad 2, just do a search on Google.

It can also jailbreak iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPod Touch 4G and iPod Touch 3G.

WARNING: This should only be attempted if you are sure you want to jailbreak your device and you are happy that it could invalidate your warranty. You can restore your device to its previous state at any time though.
