How do you update an ipod touch 2nd generation?

Im not sure how to update my boyfriends old ipod, i cant download apps because the IOS isnt new enough, help?

Connect the iPod to your computer and update via iTunes.
iTunes 10 for Windows: Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
A 1G iPod can go to iOS 3.1.3 that you get here:
Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)
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

    My Time Capsule isn't backing up. It appears to be plugged in, etc. - but the "green light" isn't on (orange light isn't either) and therefore it's not backing up. Any suggestions on what I can try to get it backing up again?
