I have a 4th gen. iPod Touch (bought for Christmas last year) and just got my kids Touches for Christmas this year. Under Settings/General, the kids' Touches have an option for Software Update, but on last year's Touch, there is no such option. It has version 4.1 but my kids just upgraded to 5.0.1. How do I upgrade to the new iOS on last year's Touch if there is no Software Update option under Settings?
You won't see the update option in the Touch until after you upgrade to IOS-5. To get there, connect to your computer and iTunes will update you.
My Touch doesn't even show up in iTunes. I don't use if for music so I never noticed it didn't show up, but now I don't know how to get iTunes to recognize the Touch.
