You probably received this message when downloading an app. This means that you must have a first, second, or third generation iPod Touch that you need to update. The update will bring improvements to the overall iPhone OS or iOS as they call it now (not just one app, like app updates do). For example, iOS 3 will give you the ability to copy and paste text. Anyway, you can update to iOS 3 by plugging your iPod into your iTunes-authorized computer and waiting for device to be recognized so you can agree to the pop-up asking you to update to the latest software. Keep in mind that if you have a 2nd generation iPod Touch, you must update to iOS 4, and a third generation will force you to update to iOS 5. You now wait for the update to download and install and enjoy.
