A 1G iPod can go to iOS 3.1.3
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

Are you sure you really do not have a 2G iPod? Those can only go to 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. -
i have an old ipod touch 3rd generation and when ever i open it , it doesn't open or it turn blank, if i click on the home button and the power button to do the reboot it works but when i remove my finger it close. i can acced the ipod from the cpu but not from the actual device
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Hi,
You will have to place your iPod in Recovery Mode and restore it via iTunes: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808.
Hope this helps!

I am trying to download various apps and games and I get the message "this app requires iOS 4.3". Please can you tell me if I can get this on my ipod touch ? Many thanks
Unless you have iOS 4.3+ on your iPod (your current version is shown in Settings > General > About > Version) then you won't be able to download and install that app.
You can check if your iPod supports a higher version of iOS than you currently have by connecting it to computer's iTunes and selecting it on the left-hand side of iTunes, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button. If it doesn't find any available updates then I assume that it's an older iPod and that it's on its version, so you won't be able to update it to iOS 4.3+ nor to download that app onto it.
If it does find an available update then before you start the update first copy any purchases off the iPod to your computer via File > Transfer Purchases. You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off it as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPod by right-clicking the iPod 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.
Then start the update. -

my ipod touch 1st gen keeps on saying when i come to download an app it says update required this app requires ios 4.3 please help
Sorry, but there is nothing you can do other than buy a newer iPod. A 1st-generation iPod touch cannot run any version of iOS later than 3.1.3 and hence cannot run any app that requires a newer version.

I have had an iPod Touch 3rd Gen for two years pretty much and the apps have worked fine. Suddenly when I go on an app it appears to launch then just exits. I tried turning the iPod off and on again, but that made all my apps behave like that. Settings and those things work fine still. Should this suddenly happen? I dont want to lose all 204 apps.
- First try resetting the iPod. Nothing will be lost.
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next try downloading/installing a new app
- Restore from backup
- Last, resore to factory defaults/new iPod. this is last result since you will lose app data. -

I just bought three apps that listed iPod touch 3rd generation under the "Requirements", but then when I went to sync those apps to my iPod touch 3rd generation, it said my iOS was out of date for them.
You obviously need to update your ios version on your ipod.

In the past couple weeks my apps have stopped working and i am unable to use amny of the featurs on my device. Any help would be nice.
There is no such thing as a 3rd generation 8gig ipod touch. You have a second gen.

Can i bring in a ipod 3rd generation in for a 4th or 5th generation
Hi Dano05-
The new iPods are pretty sweet!
We do not have the ability to trade your 3rd Gen iPod straight up for a 4th or 5th Gen iPod.
We do offer a trade in program for our customers that may get you at least some credit towards a new iPod. You can check out the Trade-In program here.
I hope that this helps!
