Jailbreak the iPod Touch



Jailbreak the iPod Touch - Refrain from upgrading the software on your iPod touch if you plan to jailbreak it. Jailbreaking may work with current system updates but is more likely to be successful with software versions of 1.1.1 or lower. If you have system updates for your iPod, be sure to save them on the hard drive of your computer to use after you have opened up the iPod through the jailbreak process.

Prepare for the jailbreak process by making sure you are in a Wi-Fi hotspot, whether it is in your home, a public library or cafe. You will need a wireless Internet connection for your iPod touch to initiate the jailbreaking.
Back up all music, photos and other media from your iPod touch onto your computer. During jailbreaking, the media will be erased from the iPod. Connect your iPod to your computer, open iTunes and click on "Transfer purchases" to save music and video files to your computer.

Disconnect your iPod from your computer and open Safari from the home screen. Through Safari, you can run the required application that unlocks the iPod touch to make it write-accessible. Point your iPod browser to the AppSnapp Website and the necessary code will automatically run on your iPod (see Resources below).



Expect Safari to quit and then your iPod to restart itself after the jailbreak code downloads. This is normal and part of the jailbreak process. This may take a few minutes.

The iPod touch comes with many different programs and applications that allow users to check email, stock prices, weather reports and surf the Web while they listen to music or watch videos. However fully loaded the iPod touch may be, it is a "closed" device, meaning that it has read-only features and third-party applications cannot run on the iPod. Some users prefer using an "open" iPod with both read and write capabilities and decide to jailbreak their iPods. This opens the machine to allow the use of programs that weren't loaded at the factory.
