Hi! i need help in updating my ipod touch 1st generation to an ios 3.

please help in what i should do....i have no idea.

Hi emilyC,
Make sure that all of your software (operating system, iTunes) are up-to-date, connect your iPod to your computer, open iTunes and you should get a prompt asking if you want to update your software. Just follow the prompts from there.
Before doing the update I would recommend creating a backup http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766 and transfer any purchases http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848

Hope this helps

See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with the following unless you revoed and reinstall all Apple software, not just iTunes:
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

Updating an iPod touch 1st generation

Hello there,
I have been trying to update my iPod touch 1st generation to iOS 3.0, but whenever I try to update through iTunes, it tells me "2.2.1 is the current software version." from what I understand updating to iOS 3.0 is fairly possible. I was just wondering how I go about doing this.
Thank you for your help.

HT4623 Updating an iPod touch (1st generation) to the current IOS?

Can I update my iPod touch (1st generation) to the current IOS?
Or at least to 4.3 so I can run Minecraft on it?

To update
iTunes 10 for Windows: Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
A 1G iPod can go to iOS 3.1.3
A 2G to 4.2.1. Requires iTunes version 10.X. That requires a Mac with OSX 10.5.8 or later. With 1OSX 10.4.11 you can only go to iTunes 9.X which gets you as high as iOS 4.1
A 3G to 5.1.1 Requires iTunes version 10.5 or later
A 4G to 6 Requires iTunes version 10.7 or later. That requires a Mac with OSX 10.6.8 or later

Is not possible to update my iPod touch 2nd generation with the iOS 5??? is it only for 3rd generetion???

iPod touch 2nd gen can go up to 4.2.1.
iPod touch 3rd or 4th gen can go up to 5.0.1 (and future updates).

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.

Any way to update an ipod touch 1st generation?

I have an ipod touch, first generation 16 GB. I have used it very little since getting it a few years back, just for music really. From what I can tell I have version 1.1.5 (4B1). I was wondering if I can update the system to be able to run apps and such, like the newer ipod touches? Or am I stuck with just being able to use the internet, itunes, and listen to music on it? If I can update, how do I do it?
Thanks!

Yes. The 1G iPod Touch can be updated to iOS 3.1. See this Apple support document for more details.

HT1338 i need help o update my ipod touch 5th gen

how do i update my 5th gen ipod ?

If you have iOS 6.1.5 you have a 4G iPod. iOS 7 is only compatible with the 5G iPod.
To update:
iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If you update via iTunes yo need iTunes 11.1 or later and that requires OSX 10.6.8 or later which requires a Mac with an Intel processor

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:

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:
