Update to 4.0 didn't work but I got charged. What next?
Below is how lllass helped and the directions were easy to understand. So I followed direction to the letter and purchased the upgrade/update and was told by the Apple gods not to unplug my iPod until it was updated and that it could take up to 1/2 hour. I checked back 2 hours later and my iTunes acct (at the top) said that Sync is complete... ok to disconnect. Well, I got charged for the upgrade/update to the "tune" of about $5 but nothing happened. According to my iTunes acct my iPod is still at 2.1.1. So I go back to the order page and clicked "download" again. This time there was no charge but all I got was the same - don't unplug could take 1/2 hour - so I do it again and nothing.
So... what do I do next?

Maybe you have a 1 G iPod
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
iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
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)

The 1 does not have volume buttons ont he upper left edge withe the 2G and later do.
- A 2G to 4.2.1. Requires iTunes version 10 or higher. If a Mac it requires OSX 10.5.8 or later.
