You didn't specify which iPod Touch you have. However, the older models lack the hardware to run IOS5. This just happens with all hardware/software combos eventually.
 
Makes sense. May have to upgrade. Just had this 2 yrs and still perfectly good for music but music only since I can't sync with the Cloud.
