Software update for refurbished iPod touch
We just bought (last week) and received (today) a refurbished 2G touch from the Apple Store. It is running version 2.2.1; do we really have to pay for the update to version 3.0?
In a word yes (legally that is - and if you go down the other route you could end up with a brick for an iPod). Not totally sure it is worth it though as i've done it and i'm now wondering why. Check what you get before you just decide to do it as most of the features aren't that great and i can understand you wanting the upgrade for an iPhone - mms, cut and paste, searching, voice recorder...I thought it would enable bluetooth so i could put stuff on it without iTunes, but the bluetooth that is enabled only allows synching with headphones i think so not great (that's the only reason i would think you might want it unless i've missed something).

I have a first gen iPod running on 2.2.1 that will not upate to 3.3.1. after purchasing the update from Apple. How do I get a refund or, if possible actually get it to update? I'd like to be able to use some new apps like Netflix and Facebook, but most apps now require newer at least 3.3.1.
- Try uninstalling iTunes version 10.5 and instlaling 10.4. You will have to Google to find it.

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. -

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 just downloaded a new software update to my ipod touch and now the ipod and screen are frozen. I received a message that the download was not successful and now my screen is showing the blue round itunes symbol with an arrow pointing to the symbol and shows a cable below it. I have tried the restart of pushing the two buttons together and waiting 10 seconds for the apple symbol which appears and then go backs to the same stuck symbol. My computer is not recognizing the ipod either and will not connect. What needs to be done? Thanks.
Try manually placin the iPod in Recovery Mode and restore via iTunes.
Next try DFU mode and restore

A 2G to 4.2.1. Requires iTunes version 10.X. If a Mac it requires OSX 10.5.8 or later. With OSX 10.4.11 you can only go to iTunes 9.X which gets you as high as iOS 4.1

The new update for my iPod touch is asking for a 4 digit pass code . I don't have one. When I updated my iPad I wasn't asked for a code.
Sorry, everyone! I found my pass code. Thanks

So can you guys make a update for iPod touch 2g for back grounds and maybe the message app and and a diff lock pattern
Given that it's been two years since the last iOS update for that iPod touch model, it's safe to assume there won't be any more unless someone finds a glaring security hole in it, and even then it will only be to close the hole.
