iPod touch
Depends on which ipod touch you have.

You need ios 5 or later for icloud.
You need an ipod touch 3rd gen or later to get ios 5 or later.
You must have ios 5 or later in order to update from the ipod itself. Otherwise update via itunes.
Sync it with iTunes on your computer.
You can download purchases directly from your iPod:
Open the iTunes Store app > More > Purchased > Music
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

I have iTunes on my desktop, is there a way to sync the purchases made onto the iPod touch that way???
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
Note, many apps are no longer compatible with your 2G iPod.
To more easily find compatible apps:
iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.
My iPod touch does not have a software update, how can I get the iCloud on it??
