Low Diskspace Problem - NOT the usual.

[Ivel]

Hello everyone,

I'd like to start off by saying that this is a wonderful community, and that I am honored to be part of it. IFilipino told me about it

So my problem:

I am running firmware 1.1.4 on an iPod Touch, and recently saw the post about how to make the Low Disk Space message disappear.

I started doing it, although when I get to the 3rd and 4th lines, it tells me "Permission Denied"

Please someone help! I am leaving the country tomorrow at noon, and want to fix this ASAP.

Thnx alot in adavance!

Welcome to MMi! Cut and paste exactly the instructions you are trying to follow.

[Ivel]

cd /
cp -pr Applications /var/root
mv Applications Applications.old
ln -s private/var/root/Applications /Applications

I followed it exacly. Capitals, spaces...

2) Move your applications folder to the /private/var folder by typing the following:

mv /Applications /private/var/Applications

3) Change directory to / by typing

cd /

4) Create a symbolic link to the Applications folder's new location:

ln -s /private/var/Applications Applications

5) Type the following to get a directory list of /, so we can make sure the symbolic link was created correctly:

ls -la

Sorry I am a bit lost, you want me to use my first 2 lines, and then use your 2 3 4 5 lines???

Cause you skipped #1

I started doing what your post said, and it said Permission Denied. Oh, and I type all of this in Terminal right? on the itouch

sorry for double post, but please explain!! I am leaving soon

Ive got an easier way, BossTool. Move the fonts...

[Ivel]

hmm im downloading it irght now

ok i did that now lets see....

ok i did that

Now it says 101 MB free

that means I can download the 20 games I want, and I will have space ???

[iFilipino]

Yeah as long as you don't run out of disk space.

[Ivel]

sweeet

You can use Boss Tool to move the Fonts and the Ringtones but I wouldn't recomment moving the Applications with it. I've read a lot of people had problems after moving the Apps.

[Ivel]

moving fonts gave me 100MB, thats more than enough

[Dash-2]

Moving Ringtones gives you about 2-3mbs.
Doesn't hurt, but yes, fonts is where it's at =D

[Ivel]

yes indeed well I gotta go, im leaving for Israel, so gonna go get my rest Cya guys in 1 1/2 months! (im so happy it works, I have 22 games for the plane !!!!)
