    Update it from iTunes on a computer as described at the bottom of this article; devices running an iOS version prior to 5.0 can't be updated straight from the device. It will be updated to the latest compatible version.

     

    The original iPhone and first generation iPod touch can’t be updated past 3.1.3.

    The iPhone 3G and second generation iPod touch can’t be updated past 4.2.1.

    Only a 3G or later can go above iOS 4.2.1

    To update

    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

    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)

    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

    You may have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1. Or a 1G, those can only go to 3.1.3
