Posted by tomybomby: I'm traumatized after plugging in the iPhone to my macbook. Last time it detected the jailbreak and it became unusable for a while. Is there a way to disable this auto-detect feature in macbook? Would you please elaborate on "detected the jailbreak?" What exactly happened and how was the phone unusable?
