Hey, I’ve BEEN BUSY, so shutup.
Anyway, No joy. An UNKNOWN ERROR occurred on my transaction.
I will report back on this when I solve Apple’s problem (again).
Update and FIX:
The error was “An Unknown Error Occurred (1004)”. OH how precious that is. Apple must have hired a couple of hundred Microsoft Programming Wizards for that one. Yeah 100 mediocre programmers. Idiots.
OK here is what it is telling you:

Go into your iTunes (mine is on the Mac).
Choose Store from the Menu.
View My Account.
Put the credit card security code into the app.
Close that pane.
Click on your iPod device.
Choose update.
Click on Buy now.
WHOA! It works now. AMAZING. Stupid. Imbecile. Mediocre programmers need to be shot. Where is Adolf Eichmann when we need him.
You’re done baby. Wait the 20 minutes to download this puppy.
Remember to BACKUP your iPlatform before upgrading dude and dudettes.
