I really want to get an iPod Touch!


Recommended Posts

I GOT IT!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh my god I am soo happy!!..I opened the box.. and looked at it.. :cry:

OK its charging now and im downloading itunes.. GOD DAMN IT itunes is 55 MB!!! Now I am not happy with one little thing, and that is:

WHY THE HELL IT DIDNT COME WITH A POWER CHARGER? This is Ridicules!.. USB Charger?.. why? I wasent going home for a while, we drove stright to a friends house who does not have a working computer.

I plugged it into his ps2.. and it did nothing... Come ON APPLE.. The ipod should of bloody came with a Power Charger.. not this USB crap.

Anyways.. I'm still downloading itunes...And I cant wait to use this baby.

I have an old ipod, I presume, I am able to use the usb cable on the touch and plug it into the plug of my old ipod and charge from the mains?

i use apollo, but in order to get MSN to work i had to change the hosts file on the touch itself.

Do you guys use Apollo IM and MobileChat?.. these apps seem to crash allot for me.. is there an alternative that is stable?

FTPing into the Touch using SSH ( part of the jailbreakign process before all the 1 touch jailbreaks came out )

using services.app ( its in the installer.app sources ) enable SSH, then use a FTP program ( CuteFTP Pro for Win / Cyberduck for OSX ) SSHFTP into the touch, download the Hosts file Here

replacing the one in /Applications/Apollo

wven when not doign this i would HIGHLY recomend services.app and disable SSH as its widly known the UID/Pass to get into any touch/iphone using SSH, Services.app will allow SSH to be disabled, the added benifit is SSH kills Battery life, disabling it saves battery

how did you do that?

Just bought the new 32gig Touch! Cost ?320 which is one hell of a lot, but I just got my new job, and wanted to treat myself with some money I've got spare!

Looks damn sexy and useful, can't wait til it arrives. The estimated time of delivery is Monday 11th or Tuesday 12th:DD

Inscribed it to say:

[ Vamp ]

Can't Touch This!>

Where did you get it from Vamp?

Still not available on amazon, and finally torn between iphone or touch..

Got it from the apple store because I couldnt find it anywhere else.

I picked the Touch because I'm not willing to pay the amount they charge monthly for the iPhone. Besides I've already got a SE K810i so I'm in no hurry for a new phone :)

US apple store: http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore

UK apple store: http://store.apple.com/Apple/WebObjects/uk...mp;mco=EC571521

did it come out of box @ 1.1.3. ( aka do you have the new apps already )

if not get them through the jailbreak ( mail/notes/maps/weather/Calendar)

recomend

Apollo ( With modified hosts file )

Services

Dock

for fun i usally have Blackjack/Lights Out

Ok Just Jailbroke my ipod touch to 1.1.3.

Anyone got a list of good apps?

Is the 1.1.13 JB firmware stable? And is it worth it if I will already have the new apps on my iTouch when it comes on monday? Seems like quite a complicated task to get it to 1.1.13JB what with having to downgrade to 1.1.11 and go from there.

Pretty Stable.. More than 1.1.1.

First you need to jailbreak 1.1.2 in order to do 1.1.3 - but 1.1.3 can be done using the ipod and the sources.

If you need some help with your iPod PM me.

Ok, I'll see how it goes on monday/tues when I get the thing, and I'll drop you a line if I could use a hand ;)

Cheers!

Right I'm having a big problem now.

When I first heard about adding websites to the home screen I Was so happy. I tried 2 sites: Pownce and Jive talk.

Now When I try add another site I get the following message: "Could not add this page to the home screen because an error occurred"

Error Occurred? - WELL THATS FREAKING DETAILED ISN'T IT? ... Anyone know why I am getting this?

Nevermind after searching via SSH I found the fix:

I have searched everywhere for the webclips fix for 1.1.3 and still nothing.

Basically when you try to add a website in safari to your home screen you get this error:

"Could not add this page to the home screen because an error occurred"

But!.. there is good news! I have found the fix and its quite simple really.

SSH to: /private/var/mobile/Library/

Right click on the folder: "WebClips" and change the Chmod permission from 755to 777

then hit "OK"

Thats it!.. Now enjoy your webclips! without getting that error.

The Touch must be a prelude to a full blown tablet, it seems strange as show above, having a UNIX OS on a mobile device and just using it for playing MP3 and web surfing. Combing it with one of the best Touch Screens on the market it seems strange they've being so slow with a SDK to expland the range.

Its only time before larger Touchs come on the market, the only downside is the continous locking out.

Hell-In-A-Handbasket:

I got online with Apollo IM and was able to chat to a few contacts but then some network error came up.. Like the messages I sent could not be sent?

First of all I got Jonstool which I heard was good for Network applications, Second I looked into the hosts file and am wondering if I should change anything?

# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface

It's here :D Just moving all my music to my Vista PC because I'd never got round to doing so yet, and then installing iTunes 7.6 x64 (which took an hour to DL because the most I get from apple's website is 20kbps yay!)

YAY!

Took me an hour to get itunes to.. Its so damn big.. tbh they should of included a mini cd in the ipod box.

Well Vamp tell me how it goes.. if you still need help you know where to find me.

I hoping someone can help me out. I have a feeling I have just toasted my phone.

Its an unlocked phone I bought off ebay. Worked fine apart from the fact that I couldnt copy my bookmarks to the desktop. The SSH tools and installer were already on it so I used putty to log onto the phone to try the fix listed above. Logged on with root and chmod'ed the WebClips file. Closed the window and I figured I should reboot the phone.

However now it comes up with the apple symbol and then the little loading flower appear. Now its just stuck on that and wont respond at all. Do I have a nice shiny apple doorstop or is there anything I can do?

Thnx

if you jailbreak it, it will be flippin awesome. I've had mine for a few months now and love it. Best iPod I've ever had and I do a hell of a lot more with it then just listen to music and watch videos. I highly suggest it, best little gadget I've ever bought (so far)

What you want to do is plug it into the dock, then hold the power and home button down at the same time until it reboots, it will reboot in recovery mode, use itunes to restore it to 1.1.3. Then try out ZIPhone (google it) to unlock/jailbreak in a few minutes.

Hope that helps ya out.

After much lurking around the net it turned out that the lockup was nothing to do with the fix but because I had deleted zil's website link from the desktop moments earlier. Turns out if you remove his link it crashes it. I did the restore and then unlocked it just as you say and all is now fine.

Major phew.. Thanks though :)

    • Microsoft admits one of the most crucial Outlook features is currently broken by Sayan Sen Microsoft is making some decent progress when it comes to Windows 11. Recently we have confirmed reports of some rather useful improvements landing in the next version of the OS, 26H2, wherein GPU driver TDR crashes may finally be fixed, plus the company is also allowing users to disable web content on the Search. On the Outlook front though things have not been so rosy. Last month in May we reported several problems affecting basic functionalities on the app. These included a problem where documents would open blank or corrupt themselves. Following that, Quick Steps, a very useful feature, would no longer work correctly, and finally, Microsoft acknowledged a problem wherein images would fail to load up properly inside the email. Microsoft had resolved those bugs later and almost exactly a month after we reported on them, the company has now admitted a new similarly basic issue, this time on Macs. Users recently started noticing that Outlook would no longer display email threads properly as the original message itself was not displayed. An affected user Tsoumpas, C (ngmb) nicely described the problem in a forum post they made on Microsoft's site. They wrote: "Description of the issue: After updating Outlook for Mac [Version 16.110 (26061317)] on 18/6/2026, replying to any email no longer includes the original message in the reply window. Prior to the update, replies correctly contained the original email text below my response. Expected behavior: The original message should be included in the reply, as in previous Outlook versions and according to the configured reply settings. Actual behavior: The reply window contains only a blank composition area (or only my response), with none of the original email text included." Obviously this must be a highly frustrating for users as noted by several in that thread. The post, at the time of writing, has also been upvoted by more than 40 users indicating that is a fairly widespread bug. Thankfully Microsoft seems to have acknowledged the problem right around that time as it opened a new issue on its official website. In the support article, the company recommends switching to Outlook for Mac from the legacy app, where the problem appears to be happening.
