then you will see a gray screen with a message saying your are up to date.

Open the device's Software Update section and check for updates.
If it's a fourth generation iPod touch, it'll report that iOS 6.1.6 is up to date. These models can't run iOS 7 or above.
If it's a fifth generation iPod touch, it'll offer the iOS 8.1.2 update.

thanks Niel..yes it does say IOS 6 is the most up to date update. So my iPod is limited to what it can do now? I can't access any new apps that requires 7 or more?
the apps don't look that promising to get an upgrade. With bad reviews and adverts popping up all the time.....most frustrating as you would have thought these devices would be able to update anything
Application developers slowly stop supporting older iOS versions over time; Apple chose to limit iOS 7 to devices which have at least 512MB of RAM for performance reasons, and the fourth generation iPod touch has 256MB.
