IPod Touch 1st gen won't update past 2.2.1 ?

I have a first generation iPod Touch running iOS version 2.2.1, and the most recent iTunes 9.2.1 running on Windows 7.
When I click "Check version" on iTunes it says that 2.2.1 is the latest version and that my iPod is up to date. I realize 1st generation iPod Touches are not supported with iOS 4 but I'd like to upgrade to 3.x since more and more apps require that to work.
Is this a bug in Apple's part or am I not allowed to upgrade to 3.x anymore?

Ipod Touch 1st gen won't update

My friend just recently gave me an ipod touch and I wanted one strictly for apps but since this thing is so old it doesn't even have 2.0 on it. For some reason when I plug it in it says it is up to date with 1.1.5. Now I know that is a lie since OS4 is out and the 1st gen touches went up to 3.x. Is there anything I can do to update my ipod? I really wanna play some awesome games. Thanks.

IPod Touch (4th Gen) Won't Update Past iOS 6.1.6

I have an iPod Touch (4th Generation). I'm trying to connect to Family Share but it needs to be updated to iOS 8. My iPod is saying it's up-to-date at iOS 6.1.6.
I have tried updating directly from the iPod (Settings > General > Software Updates) and I've also connected it to my Mac OS X Yosemite / iTunes 12.01.126 with no luck. Nothing is recognizing that this device needs to be updated.
How can I update this iPod to iOS 8?

iOS 7 or iOS 8 isn't compatible with iPod Touch 4G
you have the latest version available

IPod Touch 1st Gen Won't Connect To PC or MAC Stuck On iTunes Logo

I have an iPod Touch 1st Generation, I have searched a lot of forums and google and I can not find an actual solution for this...
The ipod is stuck on the itunes logo(connect to itunes to restore), but when you connect it it isn't recognized by itunes. When I plugged it into a PC it "dinged" and popped up a message saying like an "unknown device" message. In the control panel it shows as "unknown device." How can I fix this.
Please don't "answer" this by saying RESTORE it. Can't do that as it doesn't come up in itunes. I've tried the advice on the Apple website; reinstall itunes, delete several files, etc. That didn't work.
Thank you in advance for any answers/help.

Hello iFixItMan,
Have you had a look at this article related to potential driver issues on Windows PC? Have you tried using a different cable?

My iPod touch 3rd gen won't update to iOS 5

iTunes keeps displaying the message saying that I have the latest update. I have iTunes 10.5 installed and everything, it's just that the iOS update won't come through. I currently have iOS 4.2 on my iPod. Any help is appreciated.

If your iPod Touch is 8GB than it is actually a 2nd gen and the highest it can go is iOS level 4.2.1.
