Are you sure that you have a 2G iPod? Check here:
Apple - Support - Check Your Service and Support Coverage
Identifying iPod models
I suspect you have a 1G iPod. Those can only go to 3.1.3. You can get that here:
Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)

Can't update my 2nd gen ipod touch from 3.1.2 to anything higher

I'm trying to update my ipod. During the update download it says my connection timed out after a 100% complete download ?
I just wan't my ipod updated to the new firmware so I can download newer apps.
Please help.
Thank you

Thank you. I will have to try that next time. I was able to finally get it to work by downloading the update seperatly to my computer. In iTunes before clicking the update button I held down the shift key and it let me choose my previously downloaded file. That finally worked instead of letting iTunes download it then error out ?? Oh well it works now. Thanks again for the tip, I really appreciate your response.

I can't get my 2nd gen. ipod shuffle to charge on my new computer.

I can't get my 2nd gen. ipod shuffle to charge on my new computer. I can prompt itunes, sync, and add/delete songs, but not charge. I've tried to restore but that didn't work. Advice?

Without telling us what computer models and OS versions, as well as how you're trying to update, not much help can be given. It has nothing to do with the number of computers you have.
This question should be posted in the iTunes forum, not the iPhone.

I do not understand how to update the ipod touch. On my iphone 4 you can go under settings and then software and check your software and then update if needed. This ipod 1st gen does not have this under settings. I'm trying to update the software so that it can down load more current apps.
