Does anyone have any tips for jailbreaking an ipod touch?

I know that it depends on the version, but any help would be appreciated for my teenage daughter...all help will be strictly off the record, of course.

@mellielou: It's available all over the internet, but there are conflicting instructions...I am just looking for the one that works from someone who did it.. BTW, it would take quite a subpoena to get user names from woot!..that is where the "off the record" sarcasm came in.

A diversion is critical, but it always helps to have a guard on your side too.

...There's nothing illegal about jailbreaking an iPod. The information is conflicting because over the years, Apple has deployed various counter-measures against jailbreaks, and the groups that produce the software to allow it have had to keep up and change their strategies around.

Do a search for the version of the OS actually on the ipod, like "3.1.2 jailbreak" or something. That's a good starting point. The recent jailbreaks are literally click-and-go. Plug in the iPod, wait for the computer to detect, close iTunes, start up the jailbreaker, choose whatever options it has, click the button. Done.

Hey, log in or sign up first!

Whatever it is you're trying to do can ONLY be done by registered, logged-in Deals.Woot members. Why? Because they're better people than you. Don't worry: you can easily improve yourself by logging into your Woot account or signing up for a new one.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
