OH MY GOD! Who ever created this support page, is amazing! I have been trying to get my iPod jailbrkoen for weeks, with no luck at all. I had tried many many different versions of iTunes, with no luck. And this entire time, all I had to do was download iTunes 11.1.5. p0sixspwn never quit during the performing magic stage… THANK YOY SO MUCH!
I have an iPod Touch 4 with iOS 6.1.6
At first the jailbreak progress begins, the device reboots & then = “p0sixspwn quit unexpectedly” = the app crashes.
I tried this on a Mac running 10.7 & another running 10.10. Same problem.
I also installed iTunes 11.2.2 & iTunes 11.1.5, but the app still quits
Please follow this – http://cydiainstaller.net/p0sixspwn-jailbreak/p0sixspwn-jailbreak-errors/
It worked for me. Running Windows 8 in Windows 7 compatibility mode as administrator. Uninstalled latest version of iTunes and all iTunes components, deleted the iTunes folder under My Music, restarted, and installed iTunes 11.1.55.
NOTE: Make sure you check your device manager for an “!” on a iPhone/Pod driver (just right click on “!” and update and search, Windows will install the driver).
Also check iTunes preferences -> device, check mark the box “prevent iPod from automatically syncing”.
That should be it.
Run P0sixpwn.
Its stuck on plug in your device. It doesnt recognise the device no matter whatever I do. I installed itunes, ran the applicatiion in admin mode but nothing seems to work.
