Itunes wont update ipod touch software 3.1.3

I have a 2nd generation iPod Touch running software version 2.1.2.
I want to buy the new 3.1.3 software via iTunes. When I connect the iPod Touch to my PC and click on the device name in iTunes, I'm given option of updating to version 3.1.3. But when I click "Update" I get an alert window repeating the fact that new software is available, and asking if I want more information from the iTunes Store. When I then click "Learn More" (which is the only option other than "Cancel"), iTunes simply reloads the same status screen.
I've also tried to buy the software update by accessing the iTunes Store via iTunes, but there is no apparent link to do so.
I've also found Apple's link on the web(http://www.apple.com/ipodtouch/softwareupdate.html) to buy version 3.0, but clicking the link simply switches me to my iTunes application, and i repeat the same loop from above.
Any help on this would be appreciated.

Well, if your iPod Touch is newer that a first generation device, they you can get iOS 4.2.1. If you have a first generation device, OS v3.1.3 is the newest you can get.
Also, as best as I can remember, iPod Touch os 3.2 was never released. the iPad shipped with OS v3.2 but the iPod Touch went from 3.1.3 to iOS 4.0 (or maybe it was 4.01)

I was halfway thru updating ipod touch software, got error 1602

I was halfway thru updating ipod touch software, i walked away from computer and when i came back there was an error "1602" and a picture on my ipod (requesting to connect to itunes?) but WILL NOT WORK AT ALL!
What's going on? Seems like a lot of people are having similar problems all at the same time.

From the article cited at the end of my post:
Error 1602: Try the following steps to resolve this error:
Ensure proper USB isolation troubleshooting has been performed, and test with a known-good cable.
Follow the steps listed for Error 1604.
This error may be resolved by disabling, deactivating, or uninstalling third-party security, antivirus, and firewall software. See steps in this article for details on troubleshooting security software.
Error 1603: If you receive this error and the iOS device is not automatically placed into recovery mode, it may be necessary to do so manually. Refer to iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to restore for steps on placing iPhone into forced recovery mode. Also, remove the IPSW and attempt to restore again. If you do not want to remove the IPSW in the original user, try restoring in a new administrator user.
Error 1604: This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, uninstalling and reinstalling USB ports, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections, device not recognized properly, computer won't recognize a FireWire or USB device). If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the USB 30-pin dock-connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.

Updating iPod Touch Software Version and Apps saved game data

When I transfer my apps from iPod touch to iTunes will it also moved the saved game data like in Zombie Cafe, Amateur Surgeon 2 so on and so fort? Because I want to update my software version...

No. Transferring the app to the computer only transfers the app itself. not app data. App dat is stored in the iPod backup that iTunes makes as the first step of the a sync and of an update. Therefore, I would do one last sync of the iPod before restoring and ensure that the backup gets made. You can check by going to the Devices tab in iTunes' Preferences and looking at the date of the backup. Also, make sure your apps are in your iTunes library since the apps themselves are not in the backup but are synced to the iPod at the end of the update.

Help with updating Ipod Touch software

So about a week or 2 ago I downloaded the newest version of iTunes because when I went to update the software on my Ipod Touch it said I needed the newest version of iTunes. So when I did that it said my software was up to date (even though it wasn't) and it said to check back for the next update on 10/31/10. So just a few minutes ago I opened up iTunes, plugged in my Ipod Touch, and again it said my software was up to date and now it says to check back on November 7th. Now my Ipod Touch is on 2.2.1 software and I want to get it to the newest software but Itunes won't let me do this. Does anybody possibly know why iTunes is doing this and how to fix it?

It says that it will automatically check for updates on those dates. You can check whenever you like.
Only 2nd gen and later can get the newest upgrade.
You can purchase 3.1 for the 1st gen ipod touch:

What model is your ipod?

Tried to update ipod touch software now stuck in recovery loop any ideas?

tried to update software on brand new ipod touch but now stuck in recovery mode (displaying usb plug into itunes logo) any ideas?

Maybe:
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

Last, try restoring on another computer.

Itunes wont update ipod! please help!

For some reason when i plug my ipod into my computer it won't update my ipod! It recognises the ipod and says "do not disconnect" but it wont add any new songs at all. I'm going away tomorrow and i really want all of my newest music to take with me. Its an old but fully working 40gb touchbar. Please help! xx

Maybe you have the iPod set to manual transfer, in which case you need to drag and drop music from iTunes into the iPod.
Check in iPod preferences.

Itunes wont reckonize ipod touch

trying to restore and itunes wont reconize it

What is status of the iPod?
If it recognized the iPod before try:
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I cant update ipod touch software

every time i try to update my ipod touch my laptop downloads it completely and then when its processing the file it says there was a problem downloading the update and gives me an error number of -3259.

If that does not resolve, try the USB issue-resolution steps and articles listed for Error 1604 above. If the issue continues, it may be related toconflicting security software.

HT1222 update ipod touch software on a different computer

My internet connection is slow. Can I upgrade my ipod touch on a different computer that I don't normally connect to?

Plug it in and sync it. it will erase the current content and replace with content of the new computer.
You need to copy everything from the old computer, or your backup copy of the old computer, to the new one.

Do not update IPOD Touch Software!!!!!!!!

I have used the software updat and has mucked my IPOD up, the first time I did it, it failed saying 'The ipod "DavesIpod" could not be updated. An unknown error occurred (1602)
So I had to do a restore & update, this did not help
It fails everytime
I am running Vista Utimate and I have even tried to run both itunes helper and itunes as admin (Run as adminstrator)
The new error is The ipod "ipod" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (6)
Please help
If I cant fix it I will take it back and want a exchange. Which I would want a 38 week and 16GB instead of 8GB

Just finished a 40 minute restore to my touch after installing the update. Is this what we can expect from now on each time Apple tries to stay ahead of the application hackers?
For crying out loud, they put OS X on here, so is it too much to ask for them to provide apps to use with it? If individual developers can create programs for the touch/iphone so fast, is it unreasonable to ask apple to do the same so we don't have to go around them?
heck charge me for apps, I will pay for them. Would rather spend my money on small apps rather than spend my time restoring!

My itunes wont detect ipod touch over wifi

i always use itunes wifi sync for syncing songs and movies into my ipod but yesterday i got the error of bonjour service problem
i had this error many months before but i solved this problem but now my ipod is not getting detected on itunes i tried to delete bonjour from add/remove programs and then re-install itunes but still the problem is not solved ...please help

First, make sure your iPod software is up to date: iPod Updater - Version 1.1.1.
Try resetting it while it's connected to your computer:
1. Lay your iPod down on your computer desk.
2. Connect your iPod to your computer (if it's not already).
3. Use your pointer finger from your left hand, and press down on the Menu button.
4. Wait a few seconds.
5. Use your pointer finger from your other hand, and press down on the Select button.
6. Hold them down together until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't work, try connecting it via a different USB port. If not, try restoring it with the latest iPod Updater.

Updated iPod Touch Software And Its Crazy!

Hi guys,
just purchased the latest software update for my 1G Touch. Now my perfectt player is kinda ruined. Firstly I can't play most of my video clips as I get an "cannot play video file" error. Another bug is my playlists. For some strange reasons my playlists like "Recently Added" doesnt show up in the player even when it pop ups when I connect to iTunes. What do I do?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
