Recently restored Ipod now it wont update

I recently restored my IPod and now it wont update. I've uninstalled, reinstalled reset and reset. Everything is up to date and when I try settings , software update, it says up to date ios 6.1.6 your software is up to date. I am ready to throw it, stomp on it and break it with my bare hands. Please someone tell me what I am doing wrong and how simple it is to fix. Help.

iPod touch, iOS 6.1.6

You have a 4G iPod. It hardware (only 256 MB of RAM) prevent updating past iOS 6.1.6.

iOS 7 requires at least 512 MB of RAM.

iOS 8 additionally requires a dual-core processor. The 4G iPod only has a single core processor.
