Issues with Update to os 3.x for iPod Touch 1st Gen

I am having issues getting the update from 1.15 to 3.x. I have a link that is shared in the community but I have tried that but it keeps opening a window telling me I need to download itunes. I have the latest version of itunes on my computer and it is sitting here open. The only option i have is to redownload itunes. Any ideas why it keeps asking me this?

Are there Internet radio apps for iPod Touch 1st gen iOS 3?

Would love to make use of this 1st gen iPod Touch by accessing both commercial and Internet-based radio stations (like TuneIn Radio). But most require >=iOS 4
I've spent a LOT of time searching but it's a one-at-a-time process. Can anyone help?

Help. I can't update iPod Touch 1st gen from ios 2.1.2 to 3.1.1; already paid for it.

Hi all,
I got an iPod Touch 1st gen for my youngest son for Christmas as a starter. It has the 2.1.2 ios on it, but after I paid for the upgrade to 3.1.1, I keep getting an error message (8288) saying there was a problem with the network connection. I have called customer service, and they suggested I try on a different computer, and if that didn't work, try connecting to a different network, and then trying the update. None of this has worked. It seems that tech support is clueless with this issue.
I have installed and unistalled iTunes 10.5, 10.3, 10.4, and now I am back with 10.5. I have tried looking up the issue from several search engines but no one seems to have a universal solution and I have tried several.
I really want to have this thing updated for himw hwne he opens it, but I am starting to worry that my purchase was a bust. I know this is the oldest version, but I don't want to buy a newer, more expensive iPod and him still not be mature enough to really take care of it. As I said, this one is a starter.
Can anyone help? Please?!
Thank you!!!
P.S. We have a PC, with Windows XP Home.

Yes, I have contacted them. They are who told me to try a few of the "fixes". They actually said they had never heard of this error, or any problems relating to his download. Also, when I was talking to them, they came here to this forum to find the answer...:/ This is why I am asking here. I was hoping someone had an idea I hadn't tried already.
Thanks.

I was downloading updates for Ipod touch 2nd gen and when the process was to the processing files point the screen changed and I wasn't given any idea as to whether the process was complete or not and if it was what was to be done next. I needed to reset the Ipod and now I am wondering what to do . Spend another Hour downloading and whatever amount on processing files and end up where I am now . Whats the next step in finding out what to do? This was the second attempt to do this with the first try happening the same except I am not sure how long the processing files part was.. Any suggestions as to what to try will be greatly appreciated.. Thanks

Likely a batter problem since high temperatures destroy a battery. I wold make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store to see what they say. It is free except for your time.

Ipod touch 1st gen MAJOR issues HELP!

My hubby dropped his 16gb ipod touch 1st gen on the floor. It landed face down. It was working fine until the battery ran out and since then it will not hold a charge. I reset it last night and it finally charged over night (plugged into the wall) it said it was fully charged this morning but after it was unplugged it was working fine except the internet would not work. It would not connect to our wireless internet. (I have an 8gig second gen that works dandy no issues so i know its not my internet.) He had his ipod on for 20 minutes it got broiling hot and the battery was back at being almost dead. We shut it off let it cool down and then we've had it plugged in all day ( it's plugged in my computer now) and just keeps saying its got 10 minutes remaining on the battery. I restored it twice through itunes and updated it and it still will not charge but will stay on if its plugged in the computer or the wall saying its charging... also the internet still will not work. it will for a few seconds pick up my wireless but with only one bar but will not let me try to connect to it. It tells me it can't connect. Then, the signal comepletely disappears again. It won't find any wireless at all. I even went upstairs and sat in front of the modem lol. I've tried everythihng known to man and am out of ideas. Is the thing screwed? Someone please help....

Sounds like something came loose or exposed. From what i read, it looks like your battery is losing it's charge quickly. My advice would be to take it in to a local apple store and see if they can fix it or run a diagnostic. Unfortunately, if i had to guess i'd say there's a hardware problem since your battery is dying so fast and is having charging problems. Good luck.

How do I get the right operating system for iPod Touch 1st generation?

I have an iPod Touch 1st generation and am experiencing problems with most of the apps that I´ve downloaded. The error message is "Application not compatible - this application requires the iPhone 4.0 Software update". Can I upgrad the software on my iPod?

Hi i bought a second hand ipod touch 1st gen it cannot connect to itunes store at all i have tryed restoring and differant usb ports, please help as its for my 6 yearold to play apps on and i cant down lode any even from my itunes..

Please could some one help..

What happens when you try to connect to the iTunes store? Error message?
What iOS is on the iPod? Settings>General>About>version
For apps you need at least iOS 2. The last update for the 1G is 3.1.3 that you get here:
Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)
However, there are not that many apps compatible with the 1G even with 3.1.3.

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?
