I cannot add updates to my Ipod TOUCH

Hi can anyone help I keep trying to update my iPd Touch but it keeps coming up with error. I have tried turning off my firewall but still no luck.
Many thanks Val

I take it your updating to ios 6.1 in which case try downloading the softwere without the ipod plugged in. or download it from a site such as http://www.felixbruns.de/iPod/firmware/ as it wont use itunes to download it.

Is it possible for apple headquarters to add battery percentage to iPod touch for the new update? It would be a lot easier to see the percentage and so the iPod wouldn't die randomly when it's 20% or lower

All the people here do not really know because all are just users like you, not from Apple
but ...
there are some apps you can download that monitor the battery percentage more accurately. Some are more reliable than others so you might have to do some research but this could be an option for you

I have a problem updating the new ipod touch 5th generation

I have a problem updating the new ipod touch 5th generation and I need help:
With each attempt I receive the message:
iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes.
The iPod only displays a USB cable with an arrow pointing to an iTunes logo.
I receive a "Are you sure..." message with the 2 options, one to Restore and Update and the other to Cancel.
Each time I have selected the Restore and Update button and then moved through the acceptance screens. Then iTunes begins to download the iOS 6.0.1 Software Update, which usually takes about 50 minutes. During the download I will receive messages that an iPod has been found in restore mode.
After the download is complete no update occurs to the iPod and iTunes displays the Device Summary screen showing derive Name as iPod and all other items as n/a.
The iPod was working great without any known issues prior to attempting to update the OS.

Maybe:
iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com
Error 1004, 1013, 1638, 3194: These errors may be the result of the connection to gs.apple.com being redirected or blocked. Follow these steps to resolve these errors:
Install the latest version of iTunes.
Check security software. Ensure that communication to gs.apple.com is allowed. Follow this article for assistance with security software. iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues.
Check the hosts file. The restore will fail if there is an active entry to redirect gs.apple.com. Follow iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting to edit the hosts file or revert to a default hosts file. See section "Blocked by configuration: (Mac OS X/Windows) > Rebuild network information".
Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.

HT4759 How do I set up icloud for my ipod shuffle on my new computer windows 8. I downloaded the icloud but it tells me that i don't have the icloud and I cannot add songs to my ipod.

An iPod Shuffle can't use iCloud. It can only be used on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch) running iOS 5 or higher, or on a supported Mac or PC.
Also you can't create and iCloud acount on your PC (or your iPod Shuffle). You have to create your account on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch) running iOS 5 or higher, or on a Mac running OS X Lion (10.7.2) or higher. After creating the account on one of these devices you can sign into it on your PC. But this still won't allow you to add songs to your iPod Shuffle as it doesn't support iCloud.

You should be able to just place them in your Books library in iTunes and check to ensure that your Book library is configured to sync to your iPod when you sync your iPod to iTunes.

Can I update my older ipod touch to play new games that require ios 4.3?

Can I update my older ipod touch to play new games that require ios 4.3? After I purchased games for my son's ipod, they would not upload due to ios. How can I update that without purchasing a new touch?

iOS 4.3 requires a third generation or newer iPod touch; you don't need to buy a brand new device in any case.

HT1386 I updated my daughters iPod Touch and now the music states is it now stored on iCloud and can be accessed on WiFi or cellular. There is no music stored on the iPod and she listens to it outside of the home without WiFi. I will not let me sync.

I updated my daughter iPod touch. Now the music states that it is on iCloud and can be accessed using WiFi or cellular. I need to move the music back on the iPod so that she can listen to it without WiFi. I tried to Restore backup but still does not work. I tried to sync, still does not work.

Is the music in your iTunes library?
Why can't you sync?
You said "Now the music states that it is on iCloud and can be accessed using WiFi or cellular."
where does it state that?
Just redownload them from iCloud to the computer and the iPod by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

How can i add apps to my ipod touch 2 with ios 4.2.1

how can i add apps to my ipod touch 2 with ios 4.2.1

Same way as always. Purchases directly for the App store on the iPod or download on your computer and sync to your iPod. To more easily find compatible apps:
iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
Vintapps 3.1.3 - paid app.
Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.

I just downloaded a new software update to my ipod touch and now the ipod and screen are frozen. I received a message that the download was not successful and now my screen is showing the blue round itunes symbol with an arrow pointing to the symbol and shows a cable below it. I have tried the restart of pushing the two buttons together and waiting 10 seconds for the apple symbol which appears and then go backs to the same stuck symbol. My computer is not recognizing the ipod either and will not connect. What needs to be done? Thanks.

Try manually placin the iPod in Recovery Mode and restore via iTunes.
Next try DFU mode and restore
