How do I update my iPod touch 4G?

My computer slows down so badly that it almost freezes up when I have iTunes running and my iPod connected simultaneously.
No, it's not a hardware problem. I know that much. However my 8-core CPU's usage shoots up to almost 100%. Very baffling.
I cannot update my firmware or sync my ipod with itunes because of this problem. If I attempt to download and update the firmware of the iPod, it gets to about 28Mb (of 847Mb) and then slows down to a halt so much that the download simply stops.
I'm using iTunes 10.6 and am doubtful that updating to version 11 will help the problem.
Current iPod firmware version is 5.1.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Elitegate  did yos read his post? he says ". If I attempt to download and update the firmware of the iPod, it gets to about 28Mb (of 847Mb) and then slows down to a halt so much that the download simply stops."

If you have iOS 5.1 you can perform a OTA (Over-The-Air) Update to the current 6.1.3 version. Go to Settings --> General --> Software Update.
Perform an update that way. But i doubt that that will fix the problem. Seems like its more PC/iTunes problem.

  • TS2634 how do i update my ipod touch to ios 5.0?

    How do i update my ipod touch to a newer version? It says I don't have any updates when I search.

    Update it from iTunes on a computer as described at the bottom of this article. As it's running an iOS version prior to 5.0, there won't be an option to update from the device itself.
    A first or second generation iPod touch can't be updated to iOS 5.

    Just do the update on your syncing computer. All the items should be in your iTunes library or, for synced photos, on the computer.  The items will be synced back to the iPod during a latter stage of the update.

  • What does error -3259 mean? How can i update my ipod touch to the new ios 5?

    I been updating my ipod touch 4 software to the new ios 5 all day. i tried disabling my security programs and firewall, different download programs and reinstalling iTunes, and restarting my ipod touch. But for each attempt i get a different error. i went to the Specific update and restore errror code page and got a reason for each error except for error -3259. Basically my question is: 1. How can i update my ipod software to io5 and 2. What is the reason behind error -3259?

    Connect it to iTunes on a computer and update it from there. Note that the second generation iPod touch(which includes 8GB models sold at the same time as the third generation ones) can't be updated past 4.2.1.

  • HT4623 How would you update your iPod Touch using your iPod touch?

    I want to update the software on my iPod Touch 4th Generation from my iPod Touch itself. I can't figure out how to do it, though. In the past, it has just asked me to update, but now, it doesn't do that. Anyone with any information on how to update your iPod touch software, it would be greatly appreciated if you shared your knowledge with me. Thanks so much!(:
