How can I upgrade my iPod Touch 1st gen?

I've found the purchase it to iOS 3.1 software thing, but I do not understand how it works. I already have the newest iTunes, but when I click on "find updates" it says that 1.1.5 is the newest available. What do I do wrong?
Please do not add this link: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2052
I read it, and I'm not at all further. I know I miss something I just don't get, what? Thanks for your help!

You have to buy the update from the iTunes Store, as the article says; the update is not free, so the "Find Updates" will not show it; that's only valid for free updates. Click the link on the page that says "Purchase the iOS 3.1 Software Update directly from the iTunes Store" as instructed.
Regards.

  • How can i upgrade my ipod touch 4g to iOS 5???

    can i upgrade it on my laptop or do i have to consult any apple store???

    iOS 5 is not out yet, so you cannot update your iPod Touch with it. 
    When it does come out, you can do it from your own laptop.

  • How can i find my ipod touch first gen if i dont have the serial number?

    i lost my ipod touch first generation at a friends house and i think someone stole it i dont have any serial number or packaging to find the serial number.

    - Only the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.
    - Apple will do nothing

  • HT1212 How can I reset my iPod Touch 3 gen. to factory settings when my home button is broken and I'm locked out?

    My home button broke awhile ago so I've just been using the assist thing ( I forget the name:P) and I got locked out a few days ago and now I can't do the hold down the sleep/wake button after disconnecting your device from the charger and hold onto the home button blah blah blah. Anyways, I have no idea what to do so if any of you could help I would be so thankful (also I tried erasing it using iCloud online and it said to erase it had to be connected to Wifi and well, I can't do that unless I can unlock my iPod and yeah..)

  • How can i fix my IPOD TOUCH 2ND Gen Battery!Please help

    Help! I dont know what happened buht wen i tried to Use my Ipod This morning It Didnt Work!! I tried every thing nothing works! Wont even charge Nothing COMES  up. Please help i DONT have money to send it to Apple because they pay to much . If you can help thank you

    the 2nd gen ipod battery is not easy for beginners to replace themselves.  It needs to be soldered.  so if you dont want to give it to apple to fix because they are too expensive you can try another company that you send it to them, they fix it and you get it back.

  • How can i get my ipod touch 4th gen out of recovery mode if my home button isn't working?

    i am not interested in fixing my home button myself. the ipod is 2.5 years old and the home button seems to be pushed in too far so it will not work and i  was updating an app when it went into recovery mode. i have tried all of the tutorials on YouTube and none have worked. i tried pressing the home and sleep buttons until the apple logo appeared, it did but less than a second later, it went back to the "connect to itunes" screen. please help

    The only way to get an iPod out of recovery mode is to connect it to iTunes and restoring to a previous back up.  If there is no back up the data will be lost.  Hope this helps!

  • Trying to get my ipod touch (1st gen) to upgrade to ios 3.1.1

    Trying to get my ipod touch to upgrade to ios 3.1.1.   I get an error message 8288

      Hello, I hope by now you have resolved the upgrade issue, but if not, here is what I ended up having to do:
      “SUCCESS!!! I took my iPod to a friend who is a computer programmer/genius. He turned off his wireless, hooked the ethernet cable directly into his computer, and the download went through without a hitch. YAY!”
      Here is my original post explaining what I had already tried:
    “Hi all,
    I got an iPod Touch 1st gen for my youngest son for Christmas as a starter. It has the 2.1.2 ios on it, but after I paid for the upgrade to 3.1.1, I keep getting an error message (8288) saying there was a problem with the network connection. I have called customer service, and they suggested I try on a different computer, and if that didn't work, try connecting to a different network, and then trying the update. None of this has worked. It seems that tech support is clueless with this issue.
    I have installed and unistalled iTunes 10.5, 10.3, 10.4, and now I am back with 10.5. I have tried looking up the issue from several search engines but no one seems to have a universal solution and I have tried several.
    I really want to have this thing updated for himw hwne he opens it, but I am starting to worry that my purchase was a bust. I know this is the oldest version, but I don't want to buy a newer, more expensive iPod and him still not be mature enough to really take care of it. As I said, this one is a starter.
    Can anyone help? Please?!
    Thank you!!!
    P.S. We have a PC, with Windows XP Home.”
    Now, there seem to be a lot of different ways to solve the 8288 error, none of which are universal. Best of luck getting yours upgraded!

    P.S. The post by Sparkhi is a link to his blog going into a long story about how he wanted Apple to pay him for “solving” the issue….the one that apparently has been solved by multiple solutions. I’m not trying to bash, it just bothers me that he put up this whole story and finally, at the very end of his blog post, posts his solution.

    Yes, I have contacted them. They are who told me to try a few of the "fixes". They actually said they had never heard of this error, or any problems relating to his download. Also, when I was talking to them, they came here to this forum to find the answer...:/ This is why I am asking here. I was hoping someone had an idea I hadn't tried already.
    Thanks.
