You're me 16 years ago. The Hackintosh and all. Don't stop making stuff like I did.
Well, I encourage you to get back into it! It’s a great hobby to have and it’s a great way to pass time!
@@tornow1500 it's awesome seeing so many put together awesome channels. Seeing you just struck me as such a parallel of some of the videos I uploaded way back when.
Just neat to see. One day I'll get something uploaded, thanks for the encouraging words!
The iPod Touch 4 was the first Apple device I had many moons ago. I still have it and it still works!
Nice!
Got mine around 11 years ago. Still running like a champ 🦾
Most reliable Apple Device I've owned💪
moons?
@@Maddwo It means a long time ago.
Great Video! I was trying to bring back life to my childhood ipod, this worked great. Thanks!
Glad I could help!
Dude THANK YOU!!!! I’m not even trying to jailbreak my iPod I just wanted to use it for music but I was locked out of it because I forgot my password. I was getting stuck on so many levels but you pointed me in the right direction. I ended up setting up a VM with windows 7 and FINALLY was able to restore my iPod! Thank you much love
No problem. I’m actually surprised that so many people were having issues with doing this on modern Windows versions. But I’m glad you got it working
great video thanks
No problem man
Thanks for showing the setup past initially jailbreaking it, lol. I followed another tutorial for the first leg since I don't have a mac, finally was able to get it working today and was worried I would majorly mess something up afterward lmao.
If anyone is having any issues on PC with it not recognizing or what not, check to see if after you installed itunes that you also had the Apple Mobile Device Support program (about 15.5 MB) installed, I don't remember having it on mine the last time I tried, but I got it working this time with it.
Glad I was able to help, a lot of people don’t know what tweaks to download afterwards and I thought I‘d just show what I use
thank you so much for making this video it was very helpful
You’re very welcome! Glad you found it helpful!
Thank you so much, this helped me out a ton! I just recieved the iPod Touch 4 I ordered about a week ago cuz I was feelin nostalgic for the old one I had back in like 2012 when I was a kid since I'd since lost it and I was surprised that the process for gettin apps on it now was so straightforward!
Glad I was able to help
Thank you!
No problemo
ur the goat i was struggling to set mine up so i found ur video
Glad I could be of help
I LOVEE! Old UA-cam! So iconic 😢❤
I love that I was able to portray that mood for you, but that video was made just last year.
Thanks for this man! This is great
No problem!
please tell the second name of the website to download the apps which you are showing on ipod
THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!!! I've been hoping for years that I could revive my ipod touch to play my old games again, finally after all this time I can rest and enjoy!! I'm so happy♥
Glad I could help
nice video :)
Thanks!
Hey man, cool video! I appreciate this. May I make a suggestion though that would have made this a little bit easier on me and probably others? Timestamps would have helped! I had an iPhone 3GS long ago so I have a vague ideal of what I need to do...but thats just a suggestion I still appreciate your work here!
Thanks for the suggestions. I’m going to make a revised version sometime soon within the coming months so stay tuned!
@@tornow1500 Cool!
it was great informational how-to video.. I had no idea all those tools existed where they where, I may even download all of it and mirror it because that's alot of stuff in one place.
I had experience so the time stamps would have helped with some of the stuff I do, but I'm gonna ahead and subscribe do you. I wish I had half the guts you do when UA-cam came out, keep it up man!
Hey, dude. Thanks for the tutorial. I did however run into several issues. The first one being I can't install iTunes 9. It fails when trying to start up the iPod Service. I also remember having issues after getting iTunes to install, where the "iTunes must be installed" error shows up during the start of the jailbreak phase. Any solutions that you know of? Thanks!
Try to do the process in a Windows 7 VM and installing iTunes 9 there
i got youtube to work not long ago, just changed some build number to the latest one in the files and it worked, a lot of the ui is missing but does play videos and i signed in.
Well that’s awesome
Special thanks mate, very helpful !
No problem 👍
i know this is a year old but it only installs apps that requires ur apple id as soon as you open it. any fixes yet?
Great! Everything is in place after your guidelines and i can use again my old ipod. But unfortunately i was able to load music via itunes only the first time... The next day i was not able to load anything and itunes cannot see my ipod anymore...Any suggestion?
Try reinstalling iTunes
The last thing I ever jailbroke was my iPod touch 4g I think I helped jailbreak a 5s or something newer but that was it. Honestly I think they should improve and make the old jailbreak programs easier ( i believe they have over time ) or atleast make one tool that supports all all devices
That’ll probably never happen. Each device may have its own way of jailbreak
@@tornow1500 i remember back in the day you legit needed to do like 10-15 steps to jailbreak your device now it’s less like 3-4 steps
It works, thank you
No problem
hey! thanks for the video :) si i'm doing this on Mac, and in that part 12:20 the program says "error failed to open backup" and the loading is stucked at "Sending initial data". can you please help?
Try re-downloading the software
Hope someone can help? I have an Ipod 4 Touch and spent (years) loading it with music. Is there a way to "Back-Up my Music" on my Ipod? I also have a 2019 Imac (if that helps). Any input or guidance is greatly appreciated. Thanks (in-advance) from NYC
Unless you have it on a library on your computer, unfortunately no.
Dude i just saw u have a hackintosh damn thats cool
You got it friend👍
hey man! do you think the procedure would work for iPod touch 5 too? Thanks
No, unless your iPod is on 6.1.3 or 6.1.6. But even then, no guarantees
@@tornow1500 6.1.3 was the last version of 6 so lol
What version of ifunbox have you downloaded for ipas?
iFunBox Classic for Mac (Although it should work fine on Windows)
sorry, How did you manage to get past the warnings and open the program? No matter how hard I try, I can't open it on Mac.
It’s insane really. They give you a bunch of different warnings that you have to go to Settings>Privacy and click “Open Anyway”
I have an ipod touch 4. I just want to load music to it. My iTunes library will nor recognize it. Can you help me please?
Try restoring and rejailbreaking
Thanks for the video man. Which ifunbox version are you using?
iFunBox Classic
i have a ipod touch 5th generation that i used when i was growing up. i had lost it but found it recently but the icloud and the backup on it were both security locked. i tried contacting apple but to no avail. do you know if there is a way that i can bypass the activation lock?
Oh lord, I don’t know. There should be ways but they’re not guaranteed to work and you won’t have any Apple services on it
I got a problem. I got the jailbreak and the cydia but I had to update some things in cydia. I dont know if this is bad or not. but the main problem is that if i want to install something on mtmdev, at the installation it says it can not install this yet try later. This happens with every app. Do i just wait and try again tomorrow or did i something wrong.
Can you please help
Is your calendar displaying the correct date on the iPod?
Maybe something was not clear for me...At the end, how you can import music to this ipod, after the jailbreak?
Via iTunes
thank you your the frist person to actual help out and i finality got jailbroken thank you thank you love vids
No problem man
Hey man, i’m stumped. When i try to add the cydia akemi is says verification error the request timed out
I think the link has changed on that. When I get home I’ll boot up my iPhone 4S to see what the link is now and edit this comment.
EDIT: Sorry this was a little late
The link is cydia.invoxiplaygames.uk/
if i have an old iphone 4 with ios 7, what is the benefit of downgrading? i don't get it somehow :D
iOS 7 on the iPhone 4 is probably the most disastrous thing that could have happened to those devices. Almost up there with iOS 9 on the 4S. So I would say performance. The only reason I haven’t downgraded mine is because I have a ton of other devices on older iOS versions, my iPhone 4 on iOS 7 has the old musical.ly app (sorta interesting conversation starter sometimes), and most of all Legacy iOS Kit refuses to work for downgrading the phone☠️
Apple id login problem on ipod touch 4th generation..plzz create a video
It still works fine for me
do you have some steps to jailbreak on iphone 5 with ios 10?
Try finding a tutorial on UA-cam. I don’t currently own an iPhone 5
Hi there
Thank you for the helpful tutoria, can you please help me find/download guitar hero ?
I’ll tell you if I see it around
@@tornow1500 if you find it
I would be so happy
This is the only reason why I got the iPod
I really miss this game
I hope its somewhere out there
The whole pack with all songs! Great fun
I miss those days
Thanks again for your help !
witch websites are to download these old games on iphone?
mtmdev(On device), or if that fails just search up the .ipa for the game or app on Google and install it through iFunBox
cannot restore mine. keep getting error 1611. tried all usb ports and changed the cable 3 times already. the device is useless for now. any tips?
Try reinstalling iTunes, or try a different computer
itunes nor p0sixspawn isnt detecting my ipod touch do you know how to fix this?
Try reinstalling the software
I'm trying to do this on Mac OS (Sanoma) but when ever i get to the part where its ment to run the jailbreaking tool it keeps saying that it can run because its from an "Undentified developer" even when I go into settings and say that I want to run it, can you help?
Yeah, you have to go into Settings to approve for every one of those stupid frustrating prompts. It’s really agonizing and I recommend a secondary monitor☠️
@@tornow1500 oh, ok. I have secoundary mointer but even then it really wouldn't work when I told it to run. In the end I just used windows and it worked just fine, I acctully decided to jailbreak ios 15.2 as well.
Does this still work with the recent changes by apple (serverside) on these devices?
The jailbreak, but the tweak “Checkmate, Store!” Doesn’t work anymore
@@tornow1500 Thanks!
@@averageSock No problem
i have a problem with my appstore the cydia link just gets stuck on done: packages and wont progress any further please help?
Does it give you an option to return to Cydia?
i dont know why it says when i installed itunes, when im going to lauch it it says " the file *itunes library .itl* cannot be readen because it was created by a newer version" what can i do?
Delete the iTunes folder or rename it
it Reminds me when the jailbreak would disconnect from my iphone3gs and refuse id scream
but then take a day brake and it oddly worked.
the best cydia tweak was EnableHDR my 3gs worked well using it to get the ipodtouchs new photo hdr and
later on there was a tweak to Adding Siri to an unsupported device like the 3gs
Nice
Thanks for the video. Does UA-cam and UA-cam music works? You did mentioned some tweeks. What is necessary?
It’s all in the video, Checkmate, Store! is one. I couldn’t get YT working
i dont know how to get the older version of "i fun box" im on windows and i downloaded the classic and everytime i tried to download an ipa onto the ipod, it said it failed and wouldnt download. also when I downloaded the newer version of i fun box, there was no download to device option or i couldnt find it. Can you help me?
Try reinstalling the classic version
@@tornow1500 It won't let me install IFunBox at all.
@@trustypinky Huh, what OS are you on?
hey wondering if there is ANY possible way i could download spotify? and if so where do you find the ipa's?
also whats the link to mtm?
also whats the link to mtm?
No, you can download it but it no longer works because Spotify no longer supports 32 bit device log-ins. Also, the link is mtmdev.org/webapp/applist.html
Whatever we want
Will this allow to move music from one ipod to another, both being 4th gen? And/or upload music ripped from CDs? I know, I'm old lol I have tons of CD's my teenage daughter wants.
So....I got to a point where I plug in my device, but it won't do anything further...
Yeah, you’ll still have to sync music via iTunes, although you can load generic MP3’s not bought off of iTunes within iTunes with a little bit of work (It’s pretty easy)
Try leaving the device on the charger for a bit then attempt plugging it into your PC
i know this is an old video, but when i install the 11.1.5 itunes when i try to open it it just says “itunes was not installed correctly please reinstall itunes”
Try making a Windows 7 Virtual Machine
how can i jailbreak an ipod touch 2 g? Version 4.1
I don’t know, I don’t have one. Look around YT for a tutorial
when i try running the older version of itunes it gives me error saying itunes was not installed correctly
Try running it in a Windows 7 Virtual Machine
@@tornow1500 hmm okay lemme try
@@tornow1500 how do i get a windows 7 iso?
hey its showing the file iTunes
library.itl cannot be read bec it was created by a newer version of i tunes i am windows 11
pls help
You have to go into the Music folder in File Explorer and rename the iTunes folder, then install the older version. Hope this helps!
where did you get i funbox classic the normal way of getting it isn't working
never mind i just used 3utools
Just look up iFunBox on Google
@@tornow1500 i just ending up using 3u tools other wise thanks for showing me how to do it
Hey, would it work with the 8gb model? i was in a rush to get one so i just got the 8gb 😭. Would i be able to run spotify and snapchat?
As far as I know, Snapchat and Spotify will not work as Spotify doesn’t support 32-but device logins anymore. As for Snapchat, maybe? I’ve seen others get it working on versions as old as iOS 8. I have no idea about iOS 6 though.
I encourage that you try though, other than that jailbreaking is a pretty easy and worthwhile process. And tell me if you’re able to log in to Snapchat.
(Also note, if you try Snapchat, try it on a burner account because there is a slight risk of a ban while using old clients)
@@tornow1500 Thanks for the heads up, i’ll have a look if i can find any third party clients for spotify and i’ll let you know if i can find any methods as the ipod arived today.
@@tornow1500 also seems like the ios 6 jailbreak community isn’t to fond of spotify in general
@@kenanmk It’s pretty easy to see why that is, as they basically dropped old devices while no-one was looking
Messenger app won't work anymore, I have iPhone 4s on ios 6.1.3 and did the same process you did pls help
Yeah, it doesn’t work anymore
@@tornow1500messenger is working on new iphones
everytime i try to open the app store, it just says "cannot connect to itunes store" and i'm connected to wifi and my date and time is set to modern time
You have to install the "Checkmate, Store" tweak
Wait, that no longer works. Apple shut down their servers for iOS 6 a week ago.
No wonder I can't get in to itunes or the app store 🤬
Bruh it's all over the internet apple killed app store of iOS 6
@@tornow1500so there is no way to download things?
Is it possible to rip apps off of the iPod? I have infinity blade 2 and 3 and the iPod is decaying and having a hard time running them, and I don’t want to let them go. And if so, is it possible to jailbreak modern iPhones?
I don’t know, you’ll have to look it up
Also, you can jailbreak modern iPhone on iOS 16.6.1 or under, you can soft jailbreak A12-A15(iPhone 13 series only) on iOS 16.6.1 and you can hard jailbreak every version of iOS 16.6.1 and under on A11 and under.
Hi there. gonna give this a shot later. Do you know if jailbreaking allows to sign into icloud and appstore etc
You can sign into iCloud either way, but the App Store and iTunes Store servers were shut down for iOS 6 and there isn’t a workaround just yet
@tornow1500 this may sound dated, but can you still get Cydia. I haven't jail broken an ipod since 2011.
@@TRVlogger Yup, it gets installed automatically when you jailbreak
@@tornow1500 That's great ! also in relations to the icloud. For some strange reason it does not let me to sign in or even visit The icloud page in Safari web browser.
It’s kind of finicky
im trying to figure out why its not working but i think when my ipod reboots it disconnects and it messes everything up, ill try a few more times. It keeps dissapearing after "performing magic"
That’s weird, did you try another cable?
@@tornow1500 no but I should try!
Does usb 3.0 port give errors as it is showing exploit failed
You could try a different port
Are you using ios 6? If so would it work on a iphone 3gs?
Yes, it should work the same way
@@tornow1500 thankd
You’re welcome. The same method worked on my 4S, so I don’t see why not. As long as it’s on iOS 6
bounjour keeps failing to start when i install 11.1.5 do you have any idea how to fix
Try using a Windows 7 VM. Some people have said that works
@@tornow1500 it worked but after jailbreaking it failed and put it in a bootloop i had to use a linux usb to use legacy ios kit to restore and it worked fine
@@mercedesamgone4852 You can try using Legacy iOSKit for the jailbreak too
bro why theres no ver 1.5 in ipsw? what should i do?
I say just update to 6.1.6. There’s no difference between the 2.
So i added both repos but there's nothing in those sections. So i can't install checkmate store. What did i do wrong?
Try re-adding the repos. But honestly, installing Checkmate is kind of pointless because the App Store doesn’t work anyways
@@tornow1500Ahh, okay thanks. that was the whole reason why i was trying to get it. Is there anything else that works?
@@nibble Everything else should work
can this run on mac high seirra? I have an early2015 macbook air and a ipod touch 4th gen
That should work even better than it does on modern macOS because less security to get in your way
@@tornow1500 do you think I can message you on Twitter or IG? I’m having a lot of trouble with this tutorial
Hey when I go to the app website whenever I try to install an app it won’t let me is there a fix?
That’s weird, did you install all of the relevant tweaks?
@@tornow1500 yes, I fixed it though. I had to reinstall one.
@@NicktoonsA which one?
so i try i-FunBox on windows but its not working for me
Reinstall it
i press the Jailbreak button but when it says "magic" the app crashes what should i do (win10)
Some people said they had better luck on Windows 7, try using a Virtual Machine with Windows 7
@@tornow1500 ok i'll try
Got the same error on windows 7, what to do?
I have something odd happening because when I try to add a source it gets stuck at done: packages
You have to wait a bit. If waiting doesn’t work, then. I’d go ahead and rejailbreak the phone
I waited for a while and still no success, I’ll go ahead rejailbreak the iPod also do you have any steps or advice because I’m having trouble finding a way to safely restore and rejailbreak it…
thank you in advance
Just plug it in and restore it. That’s what I did at the start of the video to demonstrate it
Edit: I figured it out it was my WiFi acting up so I used a hotspot and it worked perfectly!
Thanks for the time you took to reply to the other comments!
That video on the iPod touch 4th gen is how I found you lol
Awesome! Hope you like it here!

Plug your iPod into your computer, then open iFunBox and install it onto the iPod
The jailbreak doesn’t work for me. All the sources are blank, it doesn’t ask me to update cydia, whenever I refresh sources it’s stuck on “done packages” and the same thing happened when I install packages, when I install deb files, it’s not installed correctly.
