HT1414 Why can't I update to iOS 7?

I have an iPad generation 1. Why can't I update to ios 7?

Unfortunately, the 1st generation iPad simply cannot run the newer operating systems. The software is simply too much for hte hardware to handle.

  • Why can't i update the ios for my ipod? I'm stuck at 3.1.3. Please help.

    Why can't i update the ios for my ipod? I'm stuck at 3.1.3. Please help.
    I have itunes updated but it doesn't show that an update is available for the ipod.

    Probably because yu have a 1G iPod that can only go as high as 3.1.3. To identify your iPod:

    If you have a later iPod, what version of iTunes do you have on your computer and what computer OS and version?

  • Why can I not update my iOS on my 3G phone?

    I have followed all the instruction downloaded the  I tune on my hard drive and tried to update the iOS on my 3G phone but after sinking and backing up my data I got a message saying the update can not be done ????

    You said it is an iPhone 3G... but the iPhone 3GS is listed in your signature. This is an important difference... can you please clarify which model you have?
    iPhone 3G can only be updated to iOS 4.2.1.
    iPhone 3GS can go to the latest iOS 5.1.
    If you check your current version under Settings > General > About > Software Version, and your current OS is higher than 4.2.1, then you have a 3GS. If you have 4.2.1 and iTunes says it's the latest version, you have a 3G.

  • HT4972 If I have an iPod 3rd generation then why can't I update to iOS 5?

    I have an old iPod touch ( 3rd generation) that I wanted to update, but after spending so much time I found that it only updated to iOS 4.1. Please help me.

    It sounds like may actually have a 2nd generation. Please check the model number on the back, if it is A1288, it is a 2nd generation and can not be upgraded beyond 4.2.1.

  • Why can't I update to IOS 7?

    I still have IOS 6 and was planning to update to IOS 7, so i deleted all of my photos (both on camera roll and photo stream) and all of my apps, and now I have 40.8 MB available. It's telling me I have 6.3 GB used, but I don't understand how I would've used that much, considering there's almost nothing on my phone. My total iCloud storage is 5.0 GB, but I don't understand how that would affect the update on my phone. If one of you could tell me what I can do to update, that'd be great, thanks.

  • Why can't I update to ios 6 yet

    I am running the ios 6 beta 4 and I still have not received the ability to update to ios 6. My friend is right where I am and he already updated his phone to ios 6 and he did not have the beta

    If you have the beta, you must be a developper and therefore that kind of question should be asked on the developper's forum. If you aren't, then you got the beta from another non official source and you are on your own

  • HT4623 Why can I not update my iOS 5.1.1 to anything higher. Apps I had that worked, no longer work because they require higher than 5.1.1

    I have an iPad with ISP 5.1.1 which I can not seem to update to anything higher than 5.1.1.... The apps that we're working on 5.1.1 but are upgraded to ISP 6 and/or 7 will no longer work. When I try to open them I get a message saying App expired. Wth??? Help plz... ( first apple product)....

    I Don't understand why the apps would expire. Apps that work in iOS 5 should still work on your iPad. Did you try updating these apps and it was unsuccessful?
    And and I've never heard of apps expiring.

  • HT4623 Why can't I update my iOS on my iPod touch

    I am unable to add any apps to my device due to the iOS I am running but when I tried to update it I was not able to. Why is that ? Please Help.

    If you have an iPod Touch 2, iOS 4.2.1 is the last iOS supported on that device.
    You will not be able to add newer iOS apps, but you still can choose from well over 60,000 vintage iOS apps.
    The trick is finding them. One way you could try,

  • Why can't I update my ios to at least a 5 on my ipod 3rd generation?

    Please, help. My Ipod 3rd generation won't update so I can get facebook on it and stuff like that. I updated my iTunes, but that didn't work. It's really making me mad. Please, I really need help.

    You appear to have a second generation iPod touch, which doesn't have enough RAM to run iOS versions newer than 4.2.1. This isn't fixable.

  • Why can't I update to IOS 5.0.1?

    Trying to update and download the IOS 5.0.1 and I keep getting an error message after the 10 minutes it takes to download stating: The network connection timed out. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network and your network connection is active, or try again later. This has been happening with every update I've done and then one day it will decide to download. I have tried in the past week 50 or so times and now I am very frustrated. I went to the AT&T corporate store and as  usual got no help what so ever. Please if anyone had any ideas please let me know.

    Disable/turn off your firewall and ant-virus software and try the download again.
