im trying to jailbreak my new ipod touch. the ipod is version 1.1.2 by the way, and as i understand it you must have version 1.1.1 to jailbreak. i have read multiple tutorials and i get stuck at the same place every time. for down grading to 1.1.1 you must download the firmware (i did this) then you must go to itunes and control+click the restore button, then choose the file i downloaded. Well, this brings me to my problem which is that itunes will not let me select the folder that i downloaded that contains the firmware. it will not let me choose any folders. can someone tell me what im doing wrong??!!

here are some pictures to help:

this is whats inside of the file i downloaded. the actual name of the file is on the top of the window

You need to run the file you have open: iPod1,1_1 The stuff you see inside, including the Firmware folder, are a part of what iTunes needs, contained inside the folder (which is a file, actually) iPod1,1_1.

See this post: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/386756/

Hope you understand this.

So i figured out how to fix it... you just have to download the file with a different web browser like firefox!!!!
