iPod Touch Guides
I’ve owned my 16GB iPod Touch 2nd Gen for quite some time now and I’ve done a lot of Frankenstein work on it after jailbreaking. Here are some tips and guides for the iPod Touch that I hope would be of value to you.

Oh what a coincidence!
Paalis na sana ako sa blog mo, tapos bigla kong nakita itong “iPod Touch Guides”!
Just recently owned a 2nd-hand iPod Touch 1st Gen. (8gb) Jailbreak na nung binili ko and iOS version 4.2.1.
Mukhang may bago akong pagkakaabalahan! Maraming salamat nito Calvin!
Hi Calvin,
I have a problem, hindi ko ma-update/restore ang ipod touch 4G ko. im trying to upgrade into ios 4.3.3
“Unknowned error occurred (3194)” ang sinasabi na message.
ano kaya ang problema ? 4.1 ang ios ko ngayon at itunes 10.4.1.10 naman ang gamit ko.
you can’t anymore. you can only restore to 4.3.5 which is the latest firmware available. you can’t update to a previous firmware version unless you’ve saved your SHSH blob which I would assume you haven’t.
Sorry, better wait for the next jailbreak na lang… baka malamang sa iOS5 na.
ah ganon pala. i tried to save my SHSH blob using tinyumbrella as per your advise. but i don’t think tinyumbrella works on win7 64bit, does it ?
when did you do try to save your SHSH blob? You should’ve done it when iTunes was still serving ioS 4.3.3. Right now it’s only serving ios 4.3.5 so if you’re only doing it now, the SHSH you saved is for downgrading to 4.3.5 in the future. should work in win7. not sure sa 64-bit… maybe use an option to run it in XP. I think may ganun Windows 7 eh.
ah ok. 64bit win7 ang OS ko eh.
nong ininstall ko yun tinyumbrella, nag error sya…ganito ang message na lumabas : “No JVM could be found in your system. Please define EXE4J_JAVA_HOME to point to an installed 32-bit JDM or JRE or download a JRE from http://www.java.com“
sorry pre naka xp 32 bit lang ako eh. google mo if may win 7 64 bit version ang tiny umbrella.
Calvin,
Got a question for your iPod Touch guides…
Using IE on the desktop, when you right click a link there is a ‘Save link as…’ option. This is useful for mp3 links when you just want to download them instead of it being streamed (default). The default Android browser and the Dolphin browser has something similar when you long press on an mp3 link.
Now I just got myself an iPod Touch and found out there is no similar option in Safari on the iOS. Would you know a workaround for this?
Thanks!
hehe nope… iOS doesn’t allow saving of mp3 files from the browser. what you need is an app like Filer. It has its own browser and file manager. Pero i’m not sure though if you download an mp3 file, you can send it to your music app. ginagamit ko kasi filer to download pdfs na naka zip, rar eh.
Thanks! sige try ko na lang yung Filer app muna.
I feel this is among the so much vital information for me. And i am happy reading your article. However should commentary on few general things, The web site style is great, the articles is truly great : D. Just right task, cheers
I need help with my itouch 3rd gen….its almost 2 years old na…my son was playing with it then accidentally he press the reset all settings then after that ayaw na nya mag-open lumalabas lang yung apple logo then yung circle na loading symbol ata….what should i do….
connect it to itunes and restore it. do the dfu process so it would enter recovery mode. search google on how to DFU.
i tried the DFU pero ngaun parang d binabasa nung itunes ung itouch ko pero nagchacharge naman…i tried na gumamit ng ibang itouch at kahit un d binabasa ng itunes ko pero charging din…
baka something wrong with itunes mo? tried updating it? or maybe the usb port?
anong version na ba ng itunes ang pwedeng gamitin? un bang ver 10.5.3 ok gamitin?
well yung latest ang gamit ko
