    Is there some way to get thing to upgrade... I keep getting a -1 error. Tried a hard reset I believe... held down the power and home button about 10 secs until it rebooted and tried again to upgrade it.... always says error -1 ? Any info is appreciated.... thx

    Strange. Have you tried kicking it into recovery mode?

    Make sure you have a backup, then turn the ipod off. Then, while holding the home button connect your ipod to the computer. Keep holding the home button until you get the "connect to itunes" image. If for whatever reason you cannot get it restored from there, use TinyUmbrella to kick it out of recovery mode.

    Thanks for this, I called in at local Apple shop, I had the same issue, wouldn't update and got error-1!! Was advised after attempting the update in the shop that I would have to get a new one as it was a internal error, but would get 10% off trading in my old unit....just saved me £180 by following your instructions. Glad I searched the web and found this site, greatly appreciate the post, now I am on the latest IOS for my second gen iPod touch
