Q: iTunes hangs trying to iPod software update server

Trying to update my 5th gen iPod touch (iOS 7.1.2) to iOS 8 using iTunes. After I connect the iPod to computer via USB,  ITunes reports the need to update to iOS 8, but when I click to update, it displays window that says "Contacting iPod software update server" FOREVER. No other connection or surfing problems with my computer which is hardwired to the router; no problems with iPod.  Is this just an Apple server overload (still??) or are there other steps I should take?
