As I now understand things I'm basically SOL. I'm not used to dealing with Apples Machiavellian machinations and have committed the number one sin
of the hopeful Jailbreaker and not saved my shsh blobs. I've been taking so much new information and lingo on board, attempting to subdue itunes and this Ipod touch 4g, that I freely admit going glassy eyed when encountering the term "shsh blobs" and paid scant attention.
I've been on the verge of selling this Ipod almost from the moment I purchased it. I've owned many an Iriver and Creative Mp3 player and am on my second "smartphone" moving from the instinct to the Epic 4g. But this is my first apple portable.
Just today I decided that I felt comfortable attempting a "Jailbreak," but I'm wary, or rather, unwilling to be tethered.
I blithely thought simply to downgrade back to 4.2.1 and use greenpoison RC 6.1. Silly me. This is an Ipod, and as such, simple isn't really an option. I don't have my original shsh blobs.
Please excuse the sarcastic tone of this post, I'm just frustrated. I spent all night last night trying to get Itunes not to recognize all of my music backups sitting on my #3 HDD which Itunes found and logged without my asking it to thus duplicating my entire 300Gb library and was pretty proud of myself for sticking with it and sorting it out, and now this. I have to admit, I like the thing, I mean it's svelte, kinda sexy, feels nice in the hand. I'm just not sure if all of the headaches are worth it. That Cowon J3,D3 or S9 that I was a hair's breadth away from buying instead of this is starting to look pretty appealing right about now
