The only way you can upgrade, is to Purchase.......sorry
You can't actually 'upgrade' and old ipod touch to a 4th gen. You could sell your old ipod and use the money plus some extra to buy a 4th gen.
There are many ways to jailbreak such as KittyRa1n, RedSn0w and Spirit, however due to how old the 1st generation iPod is, support has completely dropped off and it is more worth it to upgrade to a newer iDevice to jailbreak. You can then get a lot more functionality out of your device.
2nd & Charles and GameStop, if you get enough money out of your old iPod Touch.
You don't have to upgrade iTunes, you just can set your ipod touch to a "replacement" even though it's not.
If you have an Ipod Touch 2g and you upgrade to 3g by using itunes and the ipod is not jailbroken you have every thing when your are done upgrading...!
depends what generation it is if its like a first generation and u want it to upgrade to ios.5 well it most likely wont because the software is too old
Depending on what type of phone you have it might be better to trade in your old phone for a newer model. Most telephone or cell companies offer the trade in to upgrade to a newer model.
This means you have to update your software on your iPod Touch. You have too old of a software to run the apps (you are possibly running the 1.0 software). Upgrade to at least the highest upgrade of 2.0 software.
Upgrade to iOS 4. It's free. It won't work if you have an old iPod Touch (before September 2009) or any 8GB iPod Touch. You'll need to jailbreak to get wallpaper.
an iTunes gift card, iPod ,mini computer, whitebord calender, MONEY!!
how old is the ipod shuffle
You have to pay the $9.99 to upgrade to iPhone 2.1 software version. http://www.apple.com/ipodtouch/softwareupdate.html Then you can load apps on your iPod Touch.
