Now I wish I didn't upgrade to 5.0.1. Can I downgrade so I can do it.
Absinthe works on 5.0.1 You should be fine. There is no way to downgrade at this time.
its running now...ill let you know how it goes
Mine is on the 2nd step. "Sending initial data" and my iphone says "Restore in Progress" and it's been that way for 8 minutes now.
when i run absinthe from my phone, i get "Error establishing a database connection."
@Planetbeing says: If the Absinthe webclip shows an error, Go to Settings, turn on VPN and wait.
I'm doing that now.
i can't launch absinthe!! i'm wondering if it has to do with my mac's os being 10.5.8. can anyone help
i would guess the first version is for 10.7.x
I am on 10.6.8 and I am able to launch it.
It might be only Snow leopard or higher only.
anyone know where i can download snow leopard now!?!?
apple.com
And what about us window users is there one available.
Not yet.
Yeeeeeesssssssssss
Damn. Works great until you need to load Absinthe. Error establishing connection.
Just keep trying it will go through.
settings network >> vn(somethiong) switch to on
holy hell that was EASY! definitely sending a few bucks to these guys. well done. as for the database error, keep trying, i got through finally.

Get it here: http://www.box.com/s/jmy0a0tyfcahqc6bdx93.
Sweet, just in time to go home for my lunch break.
WOOHOO!!! You guys are the best!
Whew, all done. It took a while. It's great to see Cydia again!
Cant launch!! Im on 10.5.8
We broke their site. It won't load now. Come on Windows version!!
GO TO YOURE VPN SETTINGS GUYS WORKED FOR ME
This is a minor issue for me. I have a VPN profile I use that was installed by my work. After Absinthe installed Cydia and rebooted my iPhone, I lost the profile. I just re-installed the VPN profile and I am good to go. Also, my Calculator Icon is blank (white). It lost it's icon. Other than that, things are great.
Guys I posted a fix for the database connection error in the how to article on the forums a bit ago. Go there. If you run into other issues the forums are a great place to get help and find answers. Try posting there and you'll get help a lot quicker than the comments sections.
I don't have 5.0.1 have the 5.1 beta
Awesome news. Sucks for me though since I have to wait for the windows version
Jailbroken here..yeeeessss!!! Just go to the VPN settings and turn on.. Youre good to go;)
