The connection is rather slow, wait more than 15 seconds recommended. You can now browse the directories on your iPod touch. We'll copy in the Applications folder at the root of touch applications from the iPhone. Copy from iMobileApps directory (decompressed before on the desktop) the following applications (Maps.app, MobileMail.app, MobileNotes.app, and Stocks.app Weather.app).

Once the copy is complete, all new applications freshly copied, right click on the folder then Properties. In the window, specify that you want to apply the law in writing to the group Group (0775).
