Doctadre Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 I know several forums say that if you want to restore with a certain kind of firmware you can click on the option key (alt) and click restore and it will take you to browse for the file. (Shift click - restore in windows.) However the alt restore does not work for me for some reason in iTunes. But alt and any other letter seems to work just fine. Anyone have any clues or ideas?

Mattwood Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Im on a hackintosh Laptop OS 10.5.4 as in my sig For example, pressing command (alt) - N, allows me to create a new window or command - I, allows me to get info on something. But pressing command and then click to restore in iTunes does not bring up a finder window so I can browse for the restore package I want to use Any ideas on why this is? command and alt are two different keys on a mac keyboard....
