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!
@@NEConfortiupdate?
Same man. Same. Continue this stuff
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.
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
Nice Video!! I truly like the low budget setup! It shows dedication und that you love what you're doing. Keep it up and you will have a bright future in computer science!
Computer science? Coding frustrates the living hell out of me. I would genuinely rather get into a fistfight with the biggest guy in my school than have to code for a living.
Minor code, like OpenCore EFI’s and that sort of stuff required for the projects I enjoy is fine but if I got into the field of Computer Science and somehow landed a job at a company developing programs, everything I would end up being as glitchy as iOS 16.
I would much rather have a job fixing devices than have a job where I’m expected to code. I would rather have a job routing fiber or mounting cell equipment for a major cell provider (granted that provider isn’t Bell, then I would be doing nothing because their network SUCKS) than have a job in coding.
Great Video! I was trying to bring back life to my childhood ipod, this worked great. Thanks!
Glad I could help!
I LOVEE! Old TH-cam! So iconic 😢❤
I love that I was able to portray that mood for you, but that video was made just last year.
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?
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
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
When i try to install the akemi thing it gives me a timeout error
I think either the link has changed or it was shut down. I suggest you do some googling.
@@tornow1500 i did and I found different tweak that does the same thing
"we will rename this to Whatever we want"
*names the folder 'Whatever we want'*
"well, you can name it Whatever YOU want"
why did this absolutely kill me
I don’t know💀
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
i keep getting the itunes 9 pop up when i open it am not sure what to do
Get rid of all of the files associated with the new iTunes version
Well shucks. Did this and now its bootlooping
Restore it and try again
Apple id login problem on ipod touch 4th generation..plzz create a video
It still works fine for me
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
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”
how to download these games on mtmdev?
Go to the link on your iPod then click on the games
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/
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
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 TH-cam came out, keep it up man!
Alright thanks! I’ve started adding timestamps on my videos and I may make an updated version of this depending on what iOS 6 devices I can get
why the jailbreak on iphone 5 is not working on me?
Is it on iOS 6.1.3-6.1.6?
@@tornow1500 no is on ios 10
That's why!
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
If I don't have another system to be able to use a non-5g hotspot, what can I do?
You can usually use a Windows 10 or later PC for a hotspot
@@tornow1500 Interesting. Will do some research to see if I can make this work. Thanks.
did u uninstall the apple mobile device support before installing the old itunes? cuz that also needs to be uninstalled
Yes
@@tornow1500 hmm ok not sure the problem then lol figured that was the problem since you didnt mention it
@@SmilyTheMare Ah, yeah I said to uninstall and delete everything with the new version of iTunes
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.
Try restoring via iTunes and try again.
@@tornow1500 I did restore with iTunes but it keeps doing the same error
@@tornow1500I just fixed the problem by deleting the repos, reinstalling them, and upgrading Cydia
What version of ifunbox have you downloaded for ipas?
iFunBox Classic for Mac (Although it should work fine on Windows)
Very helpful vid but I think I messed up because I reset mine after jail breaking any tips to fix this?
Do another iTunes restore?
@@tornow1500 i tried resetting all settings after and now it just restarts every 10 minutes so I can’t even set it up
Thinking of doing this is it easy
It’s so damn easy
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!
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
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
im on windows it isnt recognizing my device it just says plug in a device to begin
now it says waiting for device to reboot dont know if thats referring to the ipod or the computer, tried it with the ipod and nothing happened
Weird, did Cydia show up on the iPod after the reboot? If not, just restore the iPod with iTunes and try it again…
@@tornow1500 it hasn’t given me the option to jailbreak it yet just says waiting and when i reboot the ipod it still says the same thing
@@debutriah Then try force shutting down the iPod, close P0SIXSPWN, then going into recovery mode, restoring the iPod with iTunes and trying the process again
the weirdest thing just happened i reset my ipod touch and now the app store loaded
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
Maybe something was not clear for me...At the end, how you can import music to this ipod, after the jailbreak?
Via iTunes
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
do you have some steps to jailbreak on iphone 5 with ios 10?
Try finding a tutorial on TH-cam. I don’t currently own an iPhone 5
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.
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

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
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
download link for old call of duty games?
I say search Google, if not then archive.org
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
how to download these old games?
Just search up ipa, or go to mtmdev.org on the target device
@@tornow1500 ok i will try
Special thanks mate, very helpful !
No problem 👍
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!
download link for need for speed games?
Look on Google, should be able to find it there
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

thank you your the frist person to actual help out and i finality got jailbroken thank you thank you love vids
No problem man
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?
download link for gt racing?
Don’t have one, look around Google
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☠️
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
I can't download the second repo on cydia. Help?

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

You have to go into the Music folder in File Explorer and rename the iTunes folder, then install the older version. Hope this helps!
still ain’t working, says the file itunes library.it’ll cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of itunes idk dude im losing hope
Rename the file. I had this happen and I renamed that file. And if that doesn’t work then delete it.
@@tornow1500 i texted you on instagram about it but figured it out myself, the only thing is that akemi ai is down i checked reddit and it’s saying that the repo is down and karen is aware idk when they funna fix it but
after i downloded itunes it said that it wasnt instald corecly so after 3 4 tries i gave up can we get on a call so you could maybe help me
What Windows version are you using? I heard that Windows 7 is better for that.
@@tornow1500 so good and bad news I said fuck it and didn't use iTunes I just jailbreaked it and it worked for the most part I managed to add the source cydia repo but I couldn't add the akemi thing for sideloading apps and I did the whole process on Windows 10 but I have a emulator called virtual box that I use to emulate Windows 7

That video on the iPod touch 4th gen is how I found you lol
Awesome! Hope you like it here!
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
Thanks for the video. Does TH-cam and TH-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
it says it need a new version of itunes
People have had success with Windows 7. Try it in a VM.
the older iphones are now just ipods, kinda sucks considering they were completely usable a few months ago.

Cant even use imessage as apple shut off support for that. I'm wondering if there's a way to spoof imessage or really any other app in order to use it like normal.
iMessage works fine for me other than no encryption and the fact that it breaks group chats

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.

does this work on ipod touch 5th gen with icloud activation lock
No, It has to be on any version from iOS 6.1.3 to 6.1.6
I keep having the same issue you seem to have at 11:58. How did you fix this?
In the Settings app, you have to give it approval to everything it prompts you to move to trash. So press cancel then go to Settings, Privacy and give it approval. I know it’s agonizing and blood curdling but you’ll get through it eventually.
