Did some more googling and it seems that maybe Apple has decided not to support the first gen iPod touch.

One poster suggested to remove iTunes and reinstall an earlier version- yea, right, probably lose all my songs or something. I did pull out an older computer though and was able to restore the touch and currently it appears to be down loading songs as well.

My hope is that after it is refreshed and running, maybe it will let me backup and down load on my regular computer with new songs- might be wishful thinking?
