How do I get iOS 5 to my iPod Touch 3g?!

Help me!!:( I wanted to buy an app, but it turned out that i had to get an iOS upgrade. My iPod Touch is a 3rd generation, and it hasn't got iOS 5. I've tryed allmost EVERYTHING to upgrade it.... I've downloaded the newest version of iTunes, tryed to get some help in Apple Support, and that is too complicatet for me to understand, because english is not my languege. They say I just have to connect my iPod to iTunes, and iTunes will do the rest... IT DOSN'T!! I search for an upgrade, and it says; "This is the latest version of iTunes"! I KNOW!! But what about iOS?!?!?!?!?! HELP ME!!

- What iOS is currenty on the iPod? To check go to Settings>General>About>Version
- What version f iTunes do you have on the computer. I need the versin number, not just thatyou have the latest.. You need iTunes 10.5.x for iOS 5
- If you have 10.5.X and you are stuck at iOS 4.2.1 then yo ally have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to 4.2.1. If yours is an 8 or 16 GB one, it is a 2G. Apple only made 32 and 64 GB 3G iPods. A 32 GB one can be either. To identify yours see:

Also, you can entr the SN here:

- Are you getting any error messages when you try to update?

If You Are Locked Out Or Have Forgotten Your Passcode
iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
iOS- Understanding passcodes
     If you have forgotten your Restrictions code, then follow the instructions
     below but DO NOT restore any previous backup. If you do then you will
     simply be restoring the old Restrictions code you have forgotten. This
     same warning applies if you need to restore a clean system.
A Complete Guide to Restore or Recover Your iDevice (if You Forget Your Passcode)
If you need to restore your device or ff you cannot remember the passcode, then you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and re-sync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
Before restoring your iOS device, Apple recommends that you either sync with iTunes to transfer any purchases you have made, or back up new data (data acquired after your last sync). If you have movie rentals on the device, see iTunes Store movie rental usage rights in the United States before restoring.
Follow these steps to restore your device:
     1. Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes before attempting to update.
     2. Connect your device to your computer.
     3. Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
     4. Select the Summary tab.
     5. Select the Restore option.
     6. When prompted to back up your settings before restoring, select the Back Up
         option (see in the image below). If you have just backed up the device, it is not
         necessary to create another.
     7. Select the Restore option when iTunes prompts you (as long as you've backed up,
         you should not have to worry about restoring your iOS device).
     8. When the restore process has completed, the device restarts and displays the Apple
         logo while starting up:
           After a restore, the iOS device displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen. For updating
          to iOS 5 or later, follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. For earlier versions of
          iOS, keep your device connected until the "Connect to iTunes" screen goes away or
          you see "iPhone is activated."
     9. The final step is to restore your device from a previous backup. If you do not have a
          backup to restore, then restore as New.
If you are restoring to fix a forgotten Restrictions Code, then skip Step 9 and restore as New.
