AI Thread Summary
Jailbreaking an iPod Touch 3.1.3 32GB raises concerns about safety and functionality. While jailbreaking is legal, users report mixed experiences, with some encountering viruses or device freezes. Many suggest that upgrading to iOS 4 may provide similar benefits without the risks associated with jailbreaking. One user attempted to upgrade but faced issues with iTunes compatibility, leading to an error message about the device's acceptability. Restarting the computer did not resolve the problem, indicating potential ongoing challenges with the upgrade process. Overall, caution is advised regarding jailbreaking due to potential risks and the availability of alternative solutions through official updates.

Is it safe to jailbreak a ipod touch 3.1.3 32gb? I heard it was leagal to jailbreak. I did some research and i have heard that the 32gb was not working, some say they got a virus and some say it froze up. I love my ipod so I don't want to get a virus. And if it's safe, what programs/software should I use.
thank you in advance =]

With iOS4, it pretty much offers everything that jailbreaking does. So I wouldn't even bother. I have an iPod Touch 32GB and I just run iOS4 instead of the jailbreak. Works great.
 
Thank you. i will try that =]
 
I tried it and it didnt work. When I tried it I recived an alert that I need the new itunes. Then when I tried to download the new itunes it gave me an err alert and told me my ipod is not acceptable. My ipod had been hooked up all along working fine. So I stopped the download and restarted my computer. What do I do now?

The .csv importer node allows you to bring in a .csv file and use the data in it to control aspects of your model. So for example, if you...

Thread 'Who is responsible for the software when AI takes over programming?'

I tried a web search "the loss of programming ", and found an article saying that all aspects of writing, developing, and testing software programs will one day all be handled through artificial intelligence.

Things may work wrong however the "wrong" happens. AI needs to fix the problems for the users. Any way to...
