Application space limit iPod Touch [Guide]

SPONSORED ADS

SPONSORED ADS
The iPod Touch limits amount of space you can add for applications. Don't worry, the hackers have found out a work around for this. Follow the simple instructions below and you're good to go!

Purpose: This guide will increase the space of your application limit, so that you can add as much applications as your iPod Touch is capable of holding.


1. Login to your iPod Touch using an SSH client. I would suggest you to use WinSCP at http://www.winscp.com/. The default login is username: root password: alpine. If you haven't yet, I'd recommend changing the default password (people can hack into your iPod Touch and steal history files that have passwords stored in them).

2. Move the applications folder to /private/var folder by typing:

Code:

mv /Applications /private/var/Applications


3. Change your directory to / by typing

Code:

cd /


4. Create a symbolic link to the new location of the Applications folder:

Code:

ln -s /private/var/Applications Applications


5. Type the below code to verify that the symbolic link was successfully created:

Code:

ls -la


If this worked, you should have an entry looking like this:
"lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 4 Nov 11 00:00 Applications -> /private/var/Applications"

6. Congratulations, you have now increased your application limit.

Now you can add as many applications as you want on your iPod Touch.

hey sorry guys, i know i might sound like a complete idiot when i say this but i have been having trouble with my ipod touch as well, with the application space, and i was wondering, where do you type in these codes and stuff?, i cannot seem to find that out.

bobby said...

Now that i have 1.1.3 installed, does this still work for 1.1.3?

bobby said...

i guess not.. i get an access denied error :-)

bobby said...

Any new on increasing the app space limit on 1.1.3? :-)

Hello bobby,

I haven't figured out a way how to do that yet. But I did find a post where someone explained how to do it. View this link here:

bobby said...

Hmmm.. Looks promising.. My internet connections is the pits today so updating/jailbreaking is out of the question for now but I will try it out and let you know. :-)

Again, thank you for link :-)

bobby said...
