Do you want to get the most out of your Ipod Touch? Here you will learn how to put 100's of applications on your Ipod.

Step 1

Step 3

Go to Itunes and plug in your Ipod. Click on your Ipod in Itunes, and click on the "Restore" button while holding down the "Shift" key. A window should appear. Then, you must find the 1.1.1 firmware you downloaded earlier. Click on the firmware. It will downgrade your firmware.
