It's not just iTunes you need to update...
You need to upgrade to Leopard v10.5.8 at the very least in order to sync, restore, and backup an iPod touch.
See iPod touch system requirements here.
Leopard is available from Amazon here.

I downloaded the new version of Mozilla and tried to install an add-on to allow me to set the home page for new tabs. The app says it has downloaded but does not open new tabs as my home page (google) - any suggestions what I can do?
I've been working on this all day!!! I've tried everything I know of and can't get it to load either. Sounds like lots of people are having problems. Here is what I have so far...I have uninstalled EVERYTHING on my pc from apple and reinstalled itunes to no avail. I have tried all sorts of things I've read as fixes online. NOTHING has worked. Here is something interesting that i have noticed though. my main pc (which is the one i have always managed my itunes account with for years) is a 32 bit system running windows 7. Yesterday I installed itunes for the first time on my new netbook which is a 64 bit (windows 7) system and it works just fine. i have three other laptops (all window 7) in my household that are all 64 bit operating systems and ALL have updated to 10.5 and THEY ALL work fine. this is FOUR 64 bit systems ALL updated w/10.5 that work and ONE that is a 32 bit that will not. Can't get any help from apple. their suppot *****! I want to get someone on the **** phone or a live chat but cant. *** APPLE????? please let mw know if you find SOMETHING i can try next. I'm out of ideas and patience!

I have a new update for my iPod Touch 4g. Will I lose everything?
I just received a software update for my iPod Touch 4th gen. I have heard a lot of people say the lost there stuff and I am scared I will lose everything. Any advice?
You should ALWAYS make sure that EVERYTHING is on your computer before any update/restore/etc., just as you shuld always make sure that your backup copy of your computer is upt ot date before any update/restore/etc.
If you do lose anything, you would just sync it back. -
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. -
itunes says that the version of software on my ipod touch 3rd gen is up to date, but IOS 5 is avaliable. I have checked for software updates for days but it keeps saying that 4.2.1 is the current version. Why cant i get IOS 5?

because you do not have a 3rd generation device. The OS Version says so , otherwise you would be at 4.3.5 minimum and also Itunes is also always correct in determining if you have the latest OS ( if not it fetches the newest from Apple's Servers ) . And because a 2nd generation iPod stops at 4.2.1 you can't get the newest OS, because your device is old. Buy a new iPod , they have iOS5 preinstalled. -
my computer will on itunes said that it will not use my new ipod touch because it says that service is not started. I have registered my new ipod touch and am trying to download stuff from my itunelibrary. Ps help!

I no longer have an iphone. Do I still need mobile me for the ipod touch?
I no longer have an iphone. Do I need mobileme for my ipod touch?
You didn't need MobileMe for your iPhone either, per se. What was it about the service that caused you to sign up? Was it the "Find My iPhone" service? If so, that would still be perhaps useful for the iPod touch, though since the iPod has no GPS locations may be less accurate.
If that doesn't answer your question, please post back with further information about your needs and what you're asking about.

Whenever he tries to download any apps it says "can not connect to itunes" I have checked the wifi connection and that is working (he can get on safari) and we have the newest version of windows. He was so excited to finally get his first Ipod and now cant do anything with it...please help

Is there any way I can get new ipod to work with out this new software or by using my existing account? Thanks
Hard to say without any information.

What did the message tell you? What software did it say you neded?

You would have to meet the system requirements. They are printed on the box the ipod came in and on Apples website. -

See the chart below to determine whether you can upgrade your device and what you can upgrade to. If you do not have a Software Update option present on your iDevice, then you are trying to upgrade to iOS 5 or higher. You will have to connect your device to your computer and open iTunes in order to upgrade.

The iPod is my son's birthday present and I wanted to have his music on it for him for tomorrow. Help?
Thanks roaminggnome, I appreciate the reply. Unfortunately I have already gone through the troubleshooting steps (twice) and still have the same results. I'm puzzled about the 5th gen thing though... 4g... 5g... I guess my learning curve is pretty steep. : )
My macbook is still not recognizing the ipod in itunes...boooooo... Any other ideas on how to fix this are much appreciated. : ) -
