Have you upgraded the iPod to 2.2? In order to even get the apps onto your iPod, it has to be at firmware 2.0 or greater.

[bteamer]

Your'e on 1.1.5. You have to be on 2.0, 2.0.1, 2.0.2, 2.1, or 2.2 to be able to put applications on your device.

Same problem with my ipod touch 1.1.5 and i just downloaded 2.2 firmware from this site but i dont know how to upgrade it using itunes on windows?
anyone can give me brief note how upgrade pls ?

[Jeckel]

Just click 'Upgrade' in iTunes and it should download the latest firmware and install it automatically. If you have firmware already, just shift (Win) or option (Mac) + click either 'Upgrade' or 'Restore' and then select the firmware proper.

Yes im doing the same,i downloaded firmware from this site but when i try to upgrade by pressing shift+ click restore there is warning message indicate"firmware file is not compatible"

[Jeckel]

Are you sure it is compatible with your device (as in the generation)? If you device is first generation, the firmware name must start with 'iPod1,2._'. If you device is second generation, the firmware name must start with 'iPod2,2._'. You cannot use first generation firmware on a second generation iPod, or vice-versa.

^yes i am using 1g and tried many firmware downloaded from different locations,even tried "2,2._" but the same error message appears,the reason is i am a new user of Ipod touch and applications tab in my ipod is not appearing on iTunes.

[Jeckel]

That error means that there is something wrong with the firmware and your device, so be sure it's for your device. If you want to be absolutely sure that the firmware is correct for the device and uncorrupted, download the firmware from Apple.

yes i updated my ipod 1.1.2 with itunes to 1.1.5 and also there is one problem since first day when i connected to itunes,the applications icon of my ipod is not appearing in itunes and i cannot transfer any downloaded application from itunes into my ipod.
For this i found that i have to upgrade firmware 1.1.5 to 2.2 but prb is same i downloaded from different locations but error is the same.
Well Jeckel im gonna try once again
