Can the first generation iPad handle iOS 5

I know with Mac computers after awhile the models cannot support the newest OS. Is this the same with iPads yet and if so can the first generation iPad handle iOS 5?

as an owner of a first gen iPad running iOS 5.1, I can tell you with absolute certainty, that the first gen iPad is completely capable of running iOS 5. I have been running iOS 5 since the day it was released with no problems.

  • HT4972 Can the first generation iPad upload to iOS 5?

    Could the first generation of the iPad upgrade to iOS 5 and still have all the apps because I got some of the apps on a special deal but in order to download this other app it needs iOS 5 and I want to keep the rest of the apps I have or else I'll have to start all over.......

    Yes. The iPad 1 can go to 5.1.1.

  • Can the first generation iPad play an 720p HD video downloaded from the iTunes store?

    Hello fellow Apple users!
    I am just wondering if the iPad 1 could play a 720p video downloaded from the iTunes store.
    I'd love to watch a movie in HD but I don't wanna waste money on something I can't consume.
    Thanks a lot!

    1. Double-click the Home button to see all Inactive Apps in Task Bar
    2. Hold the Apps down for a second or two until you see the minus sign
    3. Tap the minus sign to close App
    4. Tap center of screen to return to Home Screen
    5. Reset iPad. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 second until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the red slider

  • I have the first generation iPad, how do I get the software update iOS 6?

    I have the first generation iPad and I'm trying to download apps but my device keeps telling me to download the iOS software update 6. When I go to updates in my settings it's saying my device is up to date with iOS 5.1.1, but it's saying I need the iOS 6. How do I upgrade my device if it's not showing iOS update 6?

    The first generation iPad cannot be updated past iOS 5.1.1
    You may still be able to get compatible versions fo the Apps by downloading the App to iTunes on a computer or another device that does support the current  App version using the same Apple Id you have on your iPad. With that done you can follow these instructions from your iPad to get a compatible version:

  • Opinions about the first generation iPad?

    Hi-
    I've been considering purchasing the first generation iPad vs. spending more on the iPad 2.  I don't think I would be an iPad "power user" - basically just want one so that I can check email and surf the web.  Who's using the first generation iPad and what do you think of it with iOS5?  Any issues I should be aware of? 
    Thanks!

    The first generation iPad can only be found used at this point... I have no problem using mine with iOS5, but others have complained about it.
    Keep your eye on March 7 - Apple has announced a "media event" featuring a picture of the iPad which could (nobody here could say for sure) be the introduction of a 3rd generation iPad. If so, it is possible that the iPad2 price will be lowered, or that it would be a good time to get a used iPad1 or 2 from someone looking to sell their old model and buy a new one.

  • Every app I try to download says I need iOS 6 or higher I have the first generation iPad what can I do?

    I have a first generation iPad every app I try to download says I need iOS 6.0 or higher to use it is there anything I can do?

    Some apps will let you run on a lower version of iOS.  Here's how to find out if the ones you want will run on your iPad.
    1.  Open iTunes on your computer and go to the App Store
    2.  Download the apps you want to your iTunes account in iTunes
    3.  On your iPad, tap the App Store
    4.  Tap the purchased tab
    5.  The apps you downloaded to your iTunes account on your computer will be listed with a cloud icon next to them.
    6.  Tap the cloud and if the app will run on a lower version of iOS, it will give you the option to download a version that will run on your iPad.  If the app doesn't give you the option, there's nothing you can do.

  • Why isn't the first generation iPad not supported by iOS 6?

    I am totally confused. Why isn't the first iPad supported in iOS 6?
    iPad 1: Apple A4 1GHz processor and 256 mb RAM
    iPod Touch 3G: 800 MHz processor (same as iPhone 3GS) and 256 mb RAM
    iPhone 3GS: 800 MHz processor (underclocked to 600 i believe)

    3GS is still sold officially and new. iPad first generation isn't. Android is even worse about things like this.
    PLEASE don't branch this into twenty different threads, and keep it in the two that already exist.
