If you are trying to update your ipod, why dont you try to do it on the ipod? Settings > General > Software update. Sorry if that is incorrect i am only familiar with ios 5-6

And when i click the x it stops the entire process.Also I cannor do it directly from my ipod only ipod touch 4g and higher can do that. I will try to restore my ipod then restore my back up,and will just have to hope that it works.

The problem is when I go through general settings, there isn't an option labled "software update" available to select. There isn't a dialog box that pops up either. I think I am going to be forced to get a newer generation ipod touch just to play simple games. Good luck to you. I bet there are a bunch of us out here trying to simply update our iOS

The Settings>General>Software Update comes with iOS 5 and later.
Connect the iPod to your computer and update via iTunes as far as your iPod model allows
iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
A 1G iPod can go to iOS 2.2 via iTunes and iOS 3.1.3 via
Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)
https://buy.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/touchLegacyLandingPage
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
A 3G to 5.1.1 Requires iTunes version 10.5 or later
A 4G to 6 Requires iTunes version 10.7 or later. For a Mac, that requires a Mac with OSX 10.6.8 or later
