iPod Touch software version 2.1.1.

[dflat]

As my iPod Touch is an older model I cannot upgrade to IOS 3.0.

Hello Horace, you should be able to update your original iPod touch to v3.13. We have one we use for testing. In iTunes (latest version is v9.2) click on your device's name in the left window... Summary (tab), under Version there should be a button to check for updates.
Apple were charging a small amount for v3.0, but not sure if they do this now iOS4 has been released (one of our members said it was free.)

Does this help?

And we had a previous thread here:
