changing permissions on the ipod touch

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/*

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