my ipod touch doesnot show the software update
An iPod touch will not have the software update feature unless it's running iOS 5 or later. To upgrade any earlier version, you have to connect the iPod to iTunes on your computer.
Note that a first-generation iPod touch can only run up through iOS 3.1.3, the 2nd-gen iPod touch up through iOS 4.2.1, and the 3rd-generation unit up though iOS 5.1.1.
Regards.

I have an iPod with iOS 4.2.1 and would like to up date to version 5. The pc I normally sync with has XP operating system. So I can't up date to iTunes 10. And my iPod doesn't show the software update button shown in the article. What can I do?
You cannot update it if you can't get the latest version of iTunes. Actually, the latest version of iTunes will run in XP if you have Service Pack 2. Also, you posted in the iPad forum, and your profile shows you have an iPad, but in your post, you say it is an iPod. Is it an iPad or an iPod?

When restoring or updating any iPod touch: "...the software update server cannot be contacted."
When I try to update or restore any iPod touch on my MacBook (year 2007, 10.6.8, iTunes 11.0.4), it puts the iPod into recovery mode and gives an error: "The iPod "iPod" cannot be restored at this time because the iPod software update server could not be contacted or is temporarily unavailable." This happens after it extracts the software and says "Verifying update with Apple." Also, the first time I try an update, it gives error code 3004, but it still puts me in recovery mode and when I try restoring it from that it gives the error I posted above.
Update Server
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem -

Connect the iPod to your computer and update via iTunes

A 1G iPod can go to iOS 2.2 via iTunes and iOS 3.1.3 via
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
A 3G to 5.1.1 Requires iTunes version 10.5 or later
A 4G to 6 Requires iTunes version 10.7 or later. That requires a Mac with OSX 10.6.8 or later

I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.
iPod touch (3rd generation)
iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318. -

No.
Looks like yours could be a 2nd Gen... If so... iOS 4,2,1 is as far as it can go

Connect to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and “ Check for Updates “...
If an Update Appears Install it...
if not... you are up to date for your particular Device...

TS1424 Is anyone else unable to search the App Store from iPod Touch 4G since the software update?
Every time I go to the App Store since the update yesterday, it crashes after a few moments and drops me back at the home screen. Any advice?
Today I see lots of other people are having similar issues, but I'm not seeing any replies. I contacted apple, and the rep said to look here of call tech support. This sounds to me like a real problem that is addressing many users and needs to be officially addressed.

When I try to play a song on my iPod Touch, it shows the information screen for the song and then skips to a new song but then goes back to the main playlist page without ever playing a song! Help!
thats tough man, yeah exchanging it is the best option. But why do people always leave a message saying" i'll probably just by an ipod" and it's usually followed by, "even though i don't like apple or ipod" . I mean fine, if u feel like giving up on the zen micro thats fine, i personally don't care if you're going to buy an ipod. for god sakes ipod isn't even the next alternati've mp3 players, theres plenty. Are u just trying to get the creative people saying "oh man we lost another one to ipod" cuz i'm sure they don't lose sleep over u wanting to buy an ipod instead of a zen. *done ranting*

tmplHi pranoop,
If you are having an issue with your iPod touch not being recognized by iTunes when connected to your Windows computer, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

How do I reinstall an older version of the software on my IPod touch? Installed the latest update and now it no longer works in my car.
I'm sorry, but Apple does not provide a downgrade path for iOS. Because downgrading is unsupported by Apple we cannot discuss it on these forums.
You may leave comments at Apple Feedback. -
When i scan my ipod from the application named find my ipod touch 4 it simply shows location unavailable while that of my cousin's ipod touch exactly shows the same location..... Why does that happen???
When you go to the Google Maps app on the iPod does it correctly find your location? The iPod's locations service uses the location of the a nearby wifi router to locate te iPod. However, not all routers are in Apple's database and as of yet nobody here knows of a way to add routers to the database.
