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.

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?

I cannot provide a definitive answer on whether it is safe to jailbreak a 3.1.3 32gb iPod touch. Jailbreaking involves modifying the device's operating system, which can potentially compromise its security and stability. There is always a risk of getting a virus or experiencing technical issues when jailbreaking a device.

That being said, jailbreaking is not illegal, but it does void the device's warranty. It is important to carefully consider the potential risks before proceeding with jailbreaking your iPod touch.

If you do decide to jailbreak your device, it is important to use reputable software and follow instructions carefully. It is also recommended to back up your device before attempting to jailbreak.

In terms of specific programs or software to use, it is best to do thorough research and read reviews from trusted sources before making a decision. It is also important to keep in mind that jailbreaking can potentially lead to compatibility issues with certain apps or updates in the future.

In summary, while jailbreaking may provide additional customization and features for your iPod touch, it also comes with potential risks. I encourage you to carefully weigh the pros and cons and make an informed decision based on your own research and understanding.
