iOS5

My iPad arrived today & is all set up. Can't wait to dig in. Now, I need to upgrade my ipod touch to iOS5 so I can access iCloud & cannot figure out how. Please help.

Assuming your iPod Touch is one of the newer models and qualifies for iOS 5, you can upgrade it simply by connecting it to your computer, open iTunes and click to select the iPod Touch in the left pane. Then click the "Check for Updates" button. The rest of the process should be self-explanatory.

Just tried that, get alert that reads software is up to date. Version 4.2.1 Any suggestions? Thank you!

All I want to do is transfer my games & music to the new ipad.

It sounds like you have an older iPod Touch and that's the newest version you can run. What model of iPod Touch is it?

The about screen reads: model MC086LL, version 4.2.1 (8C148)

It is an iPod 2 or 3,(bought NIB from eBay seller). Thanks!

The MC086LL is a 2nd gen 8GB iPod Touch according to MacTracker and the max OS version for that is 4.2.1.

So does that mean I cannot upgrade to iOS5?

That's right. You would need a later model iPod Touch to be able to upgrade to iOS 5.

Alas. Oh well. Thank you all for all your information!
