I did the same and had the same result. I ended up just setting it up as a new iPod.

Anyone have any recommendations for software that I can use to pull all my songs off my ipod on to my hard drive? Just had a hard drive burn on out me that had all my itunes music and heard there is a way to pull it off the pod itself.

What all can a jailbroken touch do that a normal one can't? Pretty much everything I wanted to do I could find a free app for except viewing photos and pdfs (itunes automagically scales down high res photos, which sucks when you painstakingly screencapped google maps of your entire city so you'd never be lost even when you had no wifi... but being able to load up all my bus schedules was nice though) The only thing I'd really want is the ability to run VLC... I hate having to reencode a movie if I wanna watch it on the touch. Is that possible?

I haven't tried it because I've only had it crash once since i've jailbroken and don't feel like restoring again.

There's also an app that was mentioned earlier that allows you to download youtube videos to the iPod.

I have Morrisey's "Greatest Hits" and Wesley Willis's "Greatest Hits" and amusingly the IPod gets confused and sticks all their songs under the same album. ^ Youtube downloader is called MXTube, its ace

I'm not sure if it's been mentioned in here but if you get the iPhone earbuds, you can actually get voice going on the Touch. Useful for making VOIP calls and using some random applications that require recording.

My college forces me to download Clean Access Agent to get on the Internet but my iPod 2g keeps yelling at me saying that i need to update java and then it won't update. Will jail-breaking let me download the CAA or java or bother or will it just not work with an iPod?

Just picked up a 2G 32gig touch! I'm not typically impressed by new technology but this thing is amazing. I want to get the most out of it (primarily as an organizer) and am doing my research about jailbreaking it. I was wondering if it's worth it to jailbreak right now. The idea of having it tethered doesn't appeal to me. How much of an inconvenience do you find having it tethered(or semi tethered)? Would it be recommended to wait for an untethered version or should I jailbreak "As soon as loving possible"?

I'm about to break my iPod cherry and get a 32gig touch. I decided I'd like one for the birthday as my faithful iRiver HP140 is finally on its way out(still works amazingly well after 4 years but battery is nothing like it used to be). I've got about a week to go and I'm already impatient as gently caress to get my hands on this thing. I just plowed through this thread and I'm heading over to the Apps and Games threads in the near future.

Its time to upgrade my ipod from a 40gb 4th gen. Am I better off getting a 8gb 1st gen barely used for $150 form SA mart, or $179 for a fresh refurb from the apple store? Am I losing out by getting a 1G as opposed to saving more for a 2G?

xamphear posted:That depends on how much you think you'd use the built-in speaker. I love mine, it's something I've wished iPods have had for a long time. I love the internal speaker.. I never use it for listening to music, but for sounds to games and stuff like that I can't imagine living without it.. Also, the 2G touch is faster then the 1G hardware-wise. Plus I really love how thin and solid the 2G is.

Well, I got a new stereo in my car with a USB plug, it only works with either a touch or a Classic/Nano. I mean I could just go and plug in via the aux port, but i was sorta debating just upgrading.

Super Dude posted:What are some good ones? Backgrounder enables multitasking. Apps hide rather than closing, so you can open a stream playing app like the NPR one or Slacker Radio, hide it and keep listening while doing something else like mail or web. There's a realtime background scrobber app that I love. It submits your plays to last.fm in either real time (when connected to wifi) or caches them for the next time you are connected. There's also Installous but unless I'm very much mistaken, talking about that here would be against the rules.

Small price and you get all they've talked about and more(I've heard battery life is quite a bit better, too).

1G vs 2G: Don't forget about the shape while considering other features. The 2G has the curved back and thinner edges. Personally, I don't like how it feels when I'm holding it -- the edges just feel too thin. I know some people will feel the opposite, and most won't care one way or another, but I'd suggest actually holding each version if possible before buying one.

I've had my 1G in my pocket every day since I got it with just a stick on film over the screen. The back looks like brushed steel now. I knew it would be an exercise in futility to try and keep it scratch free, so I just assumed it would scratch and decided I didn't care. The front is still flawless (even the parts not covered by film). I haven't tried Installous, but if nothing else I hope it makes enough of an impact to force Apple to allow time limited free trials of App Store apps. I think if you use it and really like an app, you should support the author of that app. Most of the apps can be had for the loose change in your car anyway.

xamphear posted:I assume everyone uses a case for their ipods these days anyway, especially the ones with the ridiculous shiny chrome backs that apple still insists on using, despite the fact that they look dated now and everyone has hated it since day 1. In most cases you couldn't tell a 1g from a 2g. Like xamphear suggests, I never see anyone else on campus with an ipod or iphone who doesn't have it in some sort of case. The things are just too slippery and awkward to hold without one. I got a cheap silicone cover at radio shack for my 2G ipod, and it's easy to hold for gaming or on the go to listen to music or whatever, yet it's not too bulky to slip into my purse or my pocket.

Are we allowed to ask questions about how to jailbreak here? My ipod isn't doing what that guy's ipod in the youtube video is doing. He says the screen is all black in DFU mode, whereas mine has a charge cable and itunes logo symbol on the screen. I unplug and plug in the charge cable and the screen stays the same, and doesn't turn white. What am I missing? edit: Now the ipod won't even turn on. It says that it's in recovery mode in iTunes, but when I try to hit recovery, it complains that the software for my ipod isn't available. Help?! Nevermind, it just turned on again. I still can't figure out what I'm doing wrong though. Super Dude fucked around with this message at 00:29 on Feb 20, 2009 |

Right when you hear it, let go of Hold. Keep holding Home until you hear the connect noise and then let go right away. The screen will be black, and you'll be in DFU mode.

Got it into DFU mode but my screen still isn't turning white. And of course right as I post this my screen turns white.

I use tightvnc on my PC, I'm sure there is something similar out there for Macs. Just type in your ipod's ip and it will give you direct control. The one thing you can't do is simulate pressing the home button. That shouldn't really matter if you are just controlling music.
