What are the basic apps that come with the iPod touch 2g?

Will i lose my songs and apps if i jailbreak my ipod touch 2g?

  • I have a ipod touch 2g and i was wonder if i will lose all of my songs and apps. I have also paid for my apps and i want them back. Also how do you jailbreak it i have the 3.1.2 vesion.

  • Answer:

    Okay, first off I don't know what these other people are talking about. Second, don't worry one bit about the songs. If you sync your iPod to your computer once more before doing the jailbreak (just to make sure you've got all the songs, apps, videos etc.) you will be fine. Just make sure your iPod is backed up, which is done automatically by iTunes. To jailbreak your iPod, I highly recommend Redsn0w. Redsn0w is probably the best program out there. Now I could explain but I am terrible at it, so you can google "how to jailbreak iPod Touch 3.1.2". I just didn't want to explain in case I missed something, or didn't explain right. Good luck! And let me tell you, as soon as you get the jailbreak, you'll love your iPod way more. I did! Have fun!

the apps and must are kept on the PC in itunes so if and when the jailbreak kills your ipod you can connect another ipod to your PC and then get then back! on jailbreaking WHY? Cydia, Pwnage, YellowSn()w, QuikPwn (and other jailbreaks) have cause more problems for people than its worth.. (I never jailbreak but buy apps like Air sharing to enable limited disk use) as the only other extra is unapproved apps and background wallpapers (which are distracting). NEVER JAILBREAK! It causes so many problems and yet adds nearly nothing! here is only 25% chance of success with 50% chance of killing it. and any attempt voids any warranty you have! Once you have jailbroken an ipod you are then stuck with jailbreak apps as you can no longer add official Apps (or protected music) to the ipod as itunes will NOT recognise it as an official ipod. also updating an Jailbroken phone is very likely to kill the unit best option is to remove jailbreak by restoring it to pre jailbreak state using the backed up firmware then updating and installing the jailbreak later (if you must) the 2.2 or 3.0 software from apple is stable and works well and lets you add hundreds of apps (many free) from the itunes App Store, many with features available in jailbroken items. Jail breaking became redundant when the 2.0 software was released as it add almost nothing to the ipods abilities (other than the ability to browse its file structure which also makes it less secure). Jail breaking also voids the warranty and does cause many issues form files vanishing, memory leaks and loss, rebooting and even failing to boot. Jailbroken ipods cause so many problems (just search on here for them). It alters the boot code so its not really an ipod at all. Best option is to remove the jailbreak by restoring the ipod on your computer but NOT connected to internet and make sure you have a full power 500MA USB2 port as low power laptop ports can cause the restore to fail and kill the ipod. So... with itunes running reset your ipod (its the home and power key until screen goes blank with dark apple logo). then as soon as the screen lights up connect it to computer.

I'm sure you get them back, and when you jailbreak, you get apps for free anyways. Good luck.

It might not get them back or even use your iPod again. Some times it will break it and it also voids the warranty.
