I can't get my ipod to update.

I want to update to 1.2.6. I have downloaded the update to my desktop and double click with my ipod connected. It says i cannot download the update to my ipod because it does not have osX on it. So i click continue, downloadiing it to my harddrive and is goes through the process but doesnt update my ipod.

I'm sure this is obvious but.........

Any help appreciated.

gordon,

this one perplexed me too. with your ipod unplugged, download or unpack the ipod updater to your desktop. you'll choose your harddrive as your destination as the install location for the ipod update. once that is finished, have a beer (or a soda, if you're under 21). now connect your ipod. have another beer (or soda). go to username/applications/utilities and click on the ipod updater. all should be o-tay. the ipod updater also has a restore feature where it will reformat your ipod. if you do this unintentionally, have a lot of beer. otherwise, just click 'update' and you are GOOD TO GO!

hope this helps,
