iPod touch DownLoad Activation Script.

[mrgreen4242]

I was looking at this in the retrospec that if i buy the apps i should be able to use them on the devices i own. So therfore i would want to be able to put say it on two ipod touches, if i legally own two of them.

Well, that sort of logic has a long, long history from "regular" computer applications. Typically speaking you don't buy software, you purchase a license to use that software in a specific way. Some licenses are "per user" so you would be able to use that software on any touch you own, or even use, as long as no one else uses the software. Some are "per machine" licenses, so anyone who uses the machine can use the software, but only on THAT hardware. Some are even "per CPU", so you need a license for each processor in the machine that is running the software.

In the case of the touch, I'm guessing it's a "per machine" license.

Anyone know the direct download to the iPod touch 1.1.3 .ipsw?

I cant get on the net at home tonight, so just want to do it before i go home from work.

if you own two why not drop the 20, and see if it works on two pods?

With a bit of playing I got ONE £12.99 ($20) purchase to work on TWO iPod Touch

All I really wanted was a way to make a backup file of that update so that I don't have to re-buy it if my hard drive dies or something.

 

[Mercod]

If you downloaded the apps from iTunes there should be an ".ipa" file in the following directory:

XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\Mobile Applications

Mac: username/Library/iTunes/Mobile Applications

All I care about is being able to pay/download the patch to update my pod, bought it a week ago whilst i was in the UK, and here in Estonia the store isnt supported in iTunes, so I cannot even purchase the software legitimately

So, it looks like I will have to resort to a patch or hack to benefit - well done Apple!

Once i get home, i will be posting the 1.1.3 restore software on a sharing site.

Mercod is that with the same iTunes account associated with both iPods, or did you manage to somehow change the user details for the second iPod??

 

[KoolStar]

I would imagine that it is two ipods that are associated with the one itunes account.

May I ask what this is?

Me too, but how about we let Mercod answer?

 

[delude]

Thanks PMB

Right, another thing I have just thought of.

The new iPods come with the 5 apps, right? As i have said many times, mine is being sent off to repair, blah blah, so i don't know which version I will get sent back. If it was 1.1.3, would there be a way of backing the apps up, so that if I decided to downgrade, jailbreak it, then re-upgrade I would still have them?

Or would it do it automatically some how with the 1.1.3 update?

Grrrrr

i have an itouch on 1.1.3 & i dont think i will pay the 20 bucks...i had a jailbroken 1.1.1 device, but after upgrading yesterday, i cant seem to downgrade back again!! so heres a warning:: if u want to keep ur jailbroken ipod, or if u think u might want to downgrade again in the future, AVOID 1.1.3!!!!!

I was just messing around with my iPod w/ 1.1.3 on it using the "iPhoneList" application for Windows, and it looks like all of my 3rd party apps files are still on the iPod. I saw my TapTap Revolution Song files, my Summerboard files, and Installer.App in the Applications folder. Put, I couldn't upload new apps onto the filesystem. This is the farthest I've gotten since last night. Any ideas?

 

[Mercod]

One was my iPod, the other my brother's. Used the same itunes account on both. I thought I would have had to pay twice - apparently not. So basically I could use this upgrade on a friend's iPod touch too - since I don't mind them having my encrypted details stored on their iPod.

 

[ProwlingTiger]

So has anyone posted the activation file yet? How many alterations would be needed to make it work on my iPod?

No one has posted it yet in fear of having their personal information leaked out through these files. All in good time, my friend, all in good time.

 

[KoolStar]

The reason that the apps may not be available after you upgrade from a jailbroken ipod before is when you upgrade, all permissions are reset on files in the filesystem. So if the file is not listed in the manifest for upgrade then the permissions are set to read only for the owner, which we dont have access to at the moment.

 

[KoolStar]

ATTENTION!!! After further searching the software download, there is two more files that are involved in the software update, check the USERNAME/Library/iTunes/ipod Software Updates, there is two files that are about 3mb's in total.

Here's a random thought that came floating through me head.... could this update be hacked to put the installer on the IPT?

it would be sweet.....

But when you go to update it, actually, hmm. I did some snooping around my iPod and it seems like all of my 3rd party apps were on my iPod, just hidden. So, probably, it might work.

manifest.plist ideas....

Last night, on the 16th of Jan, I opened up iPhoneDrive and scanned my iPod Touch as iTunes showed an extra 90 odd MB of 'Other' in the coloured bar. I found a Downloads Folder (Even though Safari cannot download Items, and iTunes uses a Different One in the System) and it contained a blank Manifest.plist file. Could anyone scan their iPods WITH the Jan Upgrade and see if the Manifest file is in the Downloads Folder of Advanced Mode in iPhone Drive and see if it is Blank or Not? If it isn't then maybe copy that file and place it on another Non-Upgraded iPT and see if the Apps arrive? If they do then it would be stress of peoples shoulders and gratitude would come your way from the Thousands (maybe even Millions) of Apple Fans and Angry Apple Fans around the globe.
