IOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)

I have purchased this update from the iTunes store but there's no indication that it is downloading and the ipod is not updating. Verbatim, the screen in iTunes  (including an incomplete second sentence) reads:
Your update is now downloading.  This can take 30 minutes or more on a typical broadband connection.
Once the download is complete
Please do not disconnect your iPod touch until the update is complete.
I have allowed probably up to 90 minutes on several occasions to download the update but still see nothing.  Current download speed at broadbandreports.com is 14 mb/sec.
If I try to repurchase the update, iTunes tells me I've already bought it, but clicking on the download option is no different.
Any advice much appreciated.

Try disabling yur computer's security software. You can also contact iTunes:

  • IOS 3.1.1 Software Update for iPod touch 1st generation failed.

    The downloading process was stucked in the Thank You screen ("Your update is downloading... ") for more than 2 hours and not going anywhere, nothing was downloaded at the end.  Anybody has the same issue before?
    Reported to the help desk for more than a month, got a reply saying it is an ongoing issue and is still under investigation! 
    I use the same PC to sync my iPad and had no problem to update it with the latest iOS software.
    What could be wrong?

    If, under "Requirements" it say ipod touch, then yes it will work.
    If, under "Requirements" it say iphone, then no.
    Look at the requirements. This is why they are posted in the product description in itunes.

  • No more software updates for iPod touch 1st generation?

    I have been attempting desperately to update the software on my first generation iPod touch, but iTunes continues to tell me that the 2.2.1 software is the most up to date version. I know this cannot be true considering the iPhone 4 software is currently be offered as a free update.
    Without any further updates, I can no longer use many of my favorite apps. Is there some fix I can try to get my iTunes to update my software?

    You can buy the update to os 3 here:

  • New software update for iPod touch 4th generation? PLEASE HELP!!

    Ok so here is the problem: I have the iPod touch 4th generation with software version 4.3 (I have had my iPod for about 7 months) and recently within the past week or so I have started experiencing multiple crashes with many different various apps and games. Just random games crashing and then I noticed it happening with the Facebook app and even Safari on my iPod! I had to get off of my iPod and come on the computer to type this message out because Safari would crash every single time I tried to type this on my iPod! So at first I figured it was the apps and games' problems, but then as more and more began to crash, like Facebook and Safari, I figured it is the Apple software version 4.3 acting up. So I was wondering, is Apple working on a new software update for iPod touch 4th gen.? Or is this a rare problem? Is there anyone out there having this same problem? Or anyone at all that can PLEASE help me?! MANY THANKS!
    - Sam Amos

    No one would know what Apple is working on, unless they announce, which they very rarely do.
    Have you tried the basics from the manual?
    restart.
    reset.
    restore.

  • Problem with the purchasing iOS 3.1 software update for iPod touch

    I have an ipod touch (1st generation) and now while I'm looking for my update to iOS 3.1 for the most current, seeking the support of Apple. I found an article talking about buying an upgrade for the iPod touch iOS 3.1 Software (1st generation) then decided to buy. That afternoon, I bought it, but so far so I can not download update. I receive a email informing me of my purchase, but when I'm redirected to the download page. I click on start downloading, but nothing happens. I wanted someone who went through this to help me, because I wanted this update!

    Thank you.
    Your update is being downloaded. This download may take 30 minutes or more on a typical broadband connection.
    Once the download is complete.
    Do not disconnect the iPod touch until the update is complete

  • Are you gonna make a 4.0 update for ipod touch 1st generation?

    are you gonna make a 4.0 update for the ipod touch 1st generation??

    This forum is for support, and not asking Apple for features. You can submit feedback to Apple if necessary.
    Chances are, no. iOS 4 requires more power than the iPod Touch 1G was made with.

  • May I know if IOS 4.2.1 is the latest software update for Ipod touch 2nd generation?

    I own a Ipod touch 2nd gen. I realise that more and more apps are unavailable for my Ipod and it cant be updated to IOS 5. May I know if IOS 4.2.1 is the latest update for Ipod 2nd gen?

    Yes, it is.

  • HT2052 iOS Software Update for iPod touch (2nd generation)

    I am not able to use previous apps on my iPod touch 2nd generation or even install new apps cause of this issue. I find it very messed up that Apple is inputting these restrictions, because they want people to buy the latest versions of their gadgets. Not everyone finds it necessary to buy every new version of every technology or even have the money to do so. It is just really disappointing...

    There is nothing unusual about this at all.
    As with any tv, computer, dvd player, car,etc the older hardware is simply not capable of running the latest software.
    This is normal.
    The second gen was released over 4 years ago.
