How to Save Yourself from the Spinning Wheel of Death

[JaxJags]

Ok. Did your iPod Touch get the Spinning Wheel of Death? You don't want to restore? Well here is a way to save your iPod from the Spinning Wheel of Death without restoring!
The common reason for the spinning wheel of death is that you installed or messed with an option that more than one app is trying to control or change, or you just messed up installing an app.

Procedure 1:
1. SSH into your ipod
2. Find the N45AP.plist file. It is in system/library/coreservices/springboard.app
3. Replace it with a new N45AP.plist file.

Note: Even if you don't have the Spinning Wheel of Death, I would recommend to copy the N45AP.plist file to a place you know. This way you can fix your ipod if it gets the Spinning Wheel of Death.

Procedure 2:
1. Try deleting the last app you downloaded.

If one of the procedures don't work, try both ways. I just got the Spinning Wheel of Death, tried both procedures, and now my ipod is fine. I hope this helps anyone who has this problem.
