IPod touch 2.2.1 version upgrade?
I have an iPod touch 16 GB version 2.2.1 that a friend recently gave me. Most of the apps seem to work only on the more recent versions. Is there any way to update the firmware to more recent version?
You very likely have a 1G iPod. Those can only go to 3.1.3 that you get here:

There are only some apps that will works with iOS 3.1.3 and a 1G iPod.

I have an IPod Touch and how do I upgrade the OS so I can download stuff that needs IOS 4 or 5 please?
Which iPod touch do you have? If you're not sure, take a look at this -> Identifying iPod models
This Apple article outlines the versions of iOS that will work on each iPod touch.
Notes:
iOS 4.2 is the latest version of iOS for iPod touch (2nd generation).
iOS 3.1.3 is the latest version of iOS for iPod touch (1st generation). If you are using an iPod touch (1st generation) with iOS 2.x or earlier, you can purchase iOS 3 from the iTunes Store. See this article for more information. -
What will happen if ipod touch previous generation cannot be upgrade anymore?

It will continue to operate, play music and so on. It just will not be able to update apps that rely on later iOS versions.

You probably have a 1G ipod. To get the latest iOS for that mode go to:
Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)
It is a paid update. You may have to use a different browser to get the sublink to work correctly.

The 2G can go to 4.2.1. -

Pretty sure there never was iTunes 4.2.1 and if there was, it did not work with the iPod touch (any version).
Do you mean iOS 4.2.1?
new version doesn't sync with my ipod :/

Synching iPod Touch with iTunes latest versions messes up e-mail progams on the Touch; help
Twice now in the past week I have synched my 64GB latest model iPod Touch with the latest version of iTunes and it has completely messed up my e-mail programs on the Touch; I cannot get or send e-mails. I have to delete the e-mail accounts and then add them back in so that I can receive and send e-mails. What has caused this and how can I eliminate this from happening in the future when I sync? Thank you for your help.
carolYes, I find it strange, too but it has happened both times I have synched the Touch in the past week. iTunes was updated right before the first time this happened. I have Verizon for my e-mail and it would not work on the Touch but I was able to send and receive emails on my desk top. It is frustrating to say the least to spend time deleting and then adding the e-mail accounts to the Touch.

i recently updated my ipod touch 4th generation to version 6.1 and it's awful it didn't restore my music, videos or any of my apps.!!!! it only restored my photos and that's it! im also noticing that it updated as if it was an iphone. help!!!
The iPod backup that iTunes makes does not inlcuded synced media like apps and music. If that media is not in the iTunes library then it is gone after the update/restore.

My Ipod touch 2nd generation won't upgrade to version 4.2.1 from 2.2.1.!!! Please help!!!
It is definitely a 2nd generation. I purchased it second hand and it must have been restored to factory defaults. I plug it into Itunes and it says I have the latest version. Where do I find 4.2.1???
What version of iTunes do you have on the computer?
Are you sure it is a 2G? Does it look like this. Not the shape of the black antenna cover. This shows a 1G. The cover on the 2G is oval.
If you have a 1G those can go as far as 3.1.3 that you get here.
