and i have an ipod touch, they are 2 seperate icons but the same actual app data called mobile media player or something
Is jailbreaking ur ipod touch/iphone safe? Does it mess with the warenty? I just don’t feel safe jailbreaking it if it ruins my ipod touch. I just got a new one cause some1 at my school broke my first one and i don’t want to get a new one AGAIN.
Jailbreaking does nothing to your ipod at all. It does not do anything to your warranty. If anything goes wrong you can simply erase and reset your ipod back to factory setting via restore.
Sorry Waill, you’re wrong there. Apple’s official view is that JailBreaking DOES void your warranty. However you are correct that it’s as simple as doing a restore to remove all traces of it. Bailey, All this means is that you can go ahead and JB your ipod touch, but be sure to remove any sign of it being JB’d before ever taking it into any apple service centre for warranty work. these days JBing is a safe, simple process. just go to quickpwn.com and look for the blackra1n installer, it’s the simplest way i’ve ever seen for doing it, and it works perfectly every time.
