how do I upgrade first generation touch software to 3.1.3

Hi,

Find it on iTunes, it should be somewhere on there.

Hope this helps!

You just have to connect the iPod to iTunes and then click "Check for Updates". IOS 3.1.3 should come up.

You would need to purchase the 3.1.x upgrade.

No it isn't....

But it is slow as many other things today...

Keep trying as mine finally came up..

Here's the info from the cached page:

Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)

Summary

You can purchase the iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation) from the iTunes Store using the latest version of iTunes on a Mac or PC.

Purchase the iOS 3.1 Software Update directly from the iTunes Store.

Products Affected

iPod touch, iTunes Store, iTunes

After you purchase the iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch, iTunes will begin downloading the software to install on your iPod touch. Note that the download make take longer on slower Internet connections (the download is approximately 250 MB). To learn more about the update process that installs the software on your iPod touch, review the following article:

Backing Up, updating, and restoring your iPhone and iPod touch software

Additional Information

If you purchase and download the update on one computer but choose not to update your iPod touch on that computer, you can use a different computer to download the software. Simply attempt to purchase the update again as described above using the same iTunes Store account and you will be offered the option to download the update again free of charge.

Note: iPod touch (1st generation) is not compatible with iOS 4 software.

That link I gave is working right now at this minute.

I just went to it again.

Glad it worked and glad the link finally started working again.

Yesterday Apple's sites seemed to be up and down and very slow other times.

the link took me to the place in itunes to purchase and download, but every time i click purchase it says "error itunes could not purchase and unknown error occurred (5002)

I am having the same problem. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Yeah same, i thought it was just my internet or something. all the apps i download work fine, but i can't even download many with a 2.1 ios. i bought the itunes card to get the 3.0 upgrade but i get a 5002 error every time i accept..

I spent 2+ hours on the phone last night with Apple Support on this issue after I got what I considered an unacceptable response from the email support request I sent. The support tech rep and I determined it is indeed a problem with the iTunes Store after testing lots of things with my account, hardware, software, network, etc... I knew that to begin with, but the standard is that you have to convince folks that the problem isn't on your end.

End result - it still doesn't work. They are probably working on it, but it is unlikely to be assigned a high priority because it is an 'old' product (that was my interpretation, not a direct quote).

There are a couple of other threads on this same issue - search :error 5002 ios 3.1" to find them
