sometimes you will need to change the permissions on the touch… this is how you do it.

1. ssh into your ipod touch w/ terminal / putty etc…
ssh root@youripodsipaddress
enter your password

2. then type the following:
chmod -R a+x /Applications/*

    hmm. not sure, make sure all apps are off on the touch. make sure your password is correct?

    you guys are dumb…

    If you’ve had any experience with UNIX type systems, like Linux, you would know that you have to run it as a ROOT user to change permissions!!

    To change to root user type: su

    Then when it asks for a password type: alpine

    THEN type: chmod -R a+x /Applications/*
