Go to Apple Store and buy a new iPod.

A 2G can go to 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.

Do yo really havea 1 G? Those can only go to 3.1.3. The 1G does NOT have volume buttons on the Upper left edge. Too more easily find compatible apps:

iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.

Vintapps 3.1.3 - paid app.

Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
