Perhaps you have a 5th generation Touch. The 5th gen cannot be updated beyond iOS 9.3.5.


Look at the rear of your iPod: if it has a pop-out button in the lower left corner, it is a 5th generation Touch. The 6th gen Touch does not have this button.

If so, it's a 5th gen model and cannot be updated beyond iOS 9.3.5.
