If you live outside of the United States, chances are you occasionally run across an app in the App Store that you want, but can’t download due to its unavailability in your country. For the most part, apps are always available in the US, but some international channels tend to be lacking.

If you’d like to be able to download free — not paid — US-only apps from the App Store from another country, we’ll show you how…

First, you’ll need a US App Store account. It’s actually easier to acquire one of these accounts than you would think. Lets get started.

One thing you’ll need beforehand is an alternate e-mail address that you have full access to, and it also has to be different than the e-mail address you used in your original App Store account. If you don’t have a second email address, you can easily create a new one with a free service like Gmail.

Once you’ve got an alternate e-mail, go to the App Store on your iPhone. You want to be in the “Featured” section, then scroll to the bottom and select “Sign Out” under your Apple ID. Now that you’ve signed out, find a free app in the App Store to download. Try downloading it and select “Create Apple ID.” Follow the step-by-step instructions, register with your second email, and make sure you confirm your country as the United States. (Even if it’s really not.)

When you get to the credit card selection screen, just select “None” and continue. The final step is to activate your account by clicking the link that’s sent to your new e-mail. Once you’ve done that, you will have full access to purchase free apps in the US App Store.

If you want to use this account as your primary account and don’t have an American credit card for paid app purchases, you can find plenty of iTunes gift cards on eBay!

If you have any further questions or problems, let us know in the comments.

If you ever wished that your iDevice was smart enough to disable passcode once you get home, or say are amongst trusted friends, your iDevice might just be able to pull that off thanks to a clever Cydia tweak called, CleverPin. Now before we go all praise on this tweak, you should know that this tweak costs you a minor $1.99. However, that being said, with the purpose and functionality in mind, and the fact that we found no alternative for this tweak, some people might gladly pay for this tweak. Why? The tweak allows you to define the Networks, connecting to which, the tweak disables the passcode. While that alone is impressive, the tweak has a few other tricks up its sleeve as well.

  

The tweak, aside from triggering when connected to a specified network, also kicks in if you’re playing songs on your device, charging the device, or are in airplane mode. Of course all this has to specified and these options can be found in the Settings app under the tweaks name.

Now if your phone is connected to the specified network, after a set time of inactivity, the tweak will kick in the passcode automatically. Pretty useful.

You can install this tweak via Cydia from the BigBoss repository, or you can search for it under the Search tab in Cydia.

Peter, 29, from New York, told MailOnline: ‘I started doing general fictional movie posters while studying film at University of California, Santa Cruz back in the early 2000s.

‘Between my two favourites, Avatar and Fifth Element, there are probably nearly 60 pieces of sci-fi pulp book covers and b-movie posters mixed in. They involved a lot of digging and exploring on the internet.

‘Then with the actors (in the posters) it’s a mix of looking at film history, getting a sense of who were the leads at that time, or looking at genre pieces and seeing who played what kind of role.

‘Then some just sort of automatically click for me (the Trainspotting cast came to me in seconds).’

There’s two different types of restores:

One is a “restore from backup”, which you can do by right clicking on the icon of your iPhone in the left bar. This won’t remove the jailbreak and it’s just of your data (contacts, SMS, pictures, apps, settings, etc.) You can restore an unjailbroken backup onto a jailbroken iPhone and the reverse.

The other type of Restore is that big restore button that you see in iTunes, near the Update button. This wipes your iPhone completely clean, updates it to the latest available version (which is most probably not jailbreakable), updates baseband (and most probably removes software unlock if you had one), removes the jailbreak. It doesn’t restore your data (which you can do later). This is always an option no matter how messed up your iPhone gets.
