Try going to store > authorize computer, it might be a problem with whatever machine the ipod has originally been installed on.
BTW - If you want the upgrade great, if you don’t that’s great too but posting complaints about the 20$ doesn’t help anybody who has any legitimate questions about getting something to install.

ive got a problem, i tried to jailbreak my ipod using Ziphone.
everything worked fine until i noticed a little sign saying if this process takes more than ten minutes, there should be some sort of problem, try reconnecting your ipod (touch) so i pulled the USB device out and now my ipod is stuck scripting tiny white writing. if i try swithing it on and off the scripting just restarts and continues forever.
i cannot reset my ipod or restore it because itunes does not recognise any device. i have an imedia sound system to my ipod and a friend of mine told me i might be able to reset my ipod using it, by pushing some kind of button combination repeatedly ….. anyone know what that is or anything i could do??

Shane, I’m having exactly the same problem. I’ve written to Apple to ask for help, though I may have to try the restore thing.

If you restore you will NOT lose your applications. I just restored my firmware to 1.1.3 and at first I thought I had lost my apps but as soon as you sync it up with iTunes again - SYNC not RESTORE or UPDATE, then it also syncs the applications across, so I can confirm restoring will not lose you your applications :D Phew

I was having trouble with this too. In iTunes, I clicked “January software upgrade” but from there it just told me to make sure I had the correct versions of itunes and the ipod software, etc.. There were no options to download or purchase or anything. So, I restored my brand new ipod touch (which I only got about 8 hours ago) …and it worked!!

After the restoration, I went back into iTunes and the “Jan software upgrade” page looked different. There was a new “Go to Software Upgrade” button. I don’t know what happened; my husband did connect my new iPod Touch to his computer (and he already has his own ipod touch) so maybe that’s what messed it up. But anyway restoring it worked for me!

I only see an “OK” button to click on the screen. I’ve followed the steps front to back like 100 times.

How do I get the funking apps on my ipod!?!?!

Where do I go to actually buy them??

HELP!!
