When I try to download an app it tells me I need to update my iOS

Every time I try to download a application on my ipod touch, it tells me I need to update my iOS. I tried looking it up in the ITunes store and I'm not finding anywhere where I can update it. Any advice would be appreciated.

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
