My iPod cannot update (Error 4000). What does this mean?

iTunes tries to install the newest version on my iPod (14.5.1) but it fails every time. It gives me error number 4000 and says that it can not update it. Everything else works fine.

iPod Touch (6th Gen)

Another solution by manually selecting the update file in WIndows:
