IPad 1 and the new iOS6????

Apparently, Apple doesn't think enough of their iPad 1 users to offer the new iOS6 to them.  Everytime I try to update, it tells me that I have the latest version, iOS 5.1.... Why wouldn't they offer it to all of their iPad customer base?.? I'm very disappointed!

I don't know if it is planned obsolescence or just the fact that the iPad 1 is three years old which is ancient in terms of electronic devices. Developers are looking at the newer operating systems and there have been several updates since iOS 5. So, yes, it will still function but to use the newer apps, you will need to get a newer device.

    I own a new iPad and a MacBook Pro. An Apple store assistant changed my Apple ID on my iPad, and the new ID showed up in the iCloud setting on the iPad. However on my Mac laptop the iCloud still shows my old ID, so there is no synching of documents going on between the iPad and the laptop. What do I do?

    On the mac's system preferences: click the iCloud icon, then "sign out" button.  After, you can enter the new ID.

  • I have the original ipad. I can't delete my photos from the ipad, and the new itunes update does not give me the option to sync photos. What do I do?

    I have the orignal ipad. I synced all my photos from my computer onto. Now I don't have enough storage on my ipad so I want to delete these photos. When I try from my ipad it only gives me the option to share or copy, NOT DELETE. I went to resync my ipad to itunes, after I downloaded the new version and now it doesn't give me an option to sync photos. How do I get rid of them?

    Wow.  That's weird.
    Is your iPad jailbroke?  If it is, all bets are off.  If it is not jailbroke, keep reading.
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • I works 9 and the new ios6 update

    I am having problems with the new update on my iMac . The IWORK'S 9 is not working now that I updated I have tried reinstalling and that didn't help. Does any one know if perhaps the Iworks9 is no outdated. Any suggestions?

    Your posting is really confused.  iOS 6 is for the iPad/iPhone, not the iMac.  Are you talking about OS X 10.8?  Or are you talking about your iPad and not your iMac?

  • My command 'Show Apple ID' in App Store gives only a white window on my iPad and the new updates of the Apps stay incompleted. What is going wrong?

    Messages (Show Apple ID) and new updates from App Store do not reach completely my iPad.
    What can I do?

    Go to Setting>Store and sign into the itunes account that purchased the app. Is your computer authorized for the iTunes account for which the updates are not showing? Also, are the non-showing app for the update showing in iTunes?

  • IPad and the new dock

    Guess what I just learned after buying two docks foe my iPad? You can not dock easily with the iPad in it's nifty new apple case! The dock is great and has a very good connection on the dock outside the case. Guess the developers did not think about docking in the case. So I wasted my money on the docks. Really disappointed. The docking can be done by forcing the connection--but I would not advise that. I also would not advise trimming the apple cover to allow a better fit. Developers might remember the case in revision two!

    Realize this is your first post, but underscores the usefulness of this discussion board before purchase. This limitation has been talked about nonstop for the last two weeks.
    If they made the dock to support the case, it would likely be a sloppy fit for those that do not use the case. Not a way to win this one.

  • What is the difference between the 4th generation ipad and the ipad 3 with retnia display?

    What is the difference between the 4th generation iPad and the "New iPad with retina display"? i don't quite understand. are they stilll the same size or would i have to get a different case?

    The 3rd and 4th generation iPads are the same size. The 4 has a faster processor, and a little better iSight camera for FaceTime. The 4 also has the lightning connector so your old cable will not work with the iPad 4.
    You should always check with the manufacturer of the case to see if it will fit. You can probably do that on the manufacturers website.
    This might be of some interest to you.

  • After updating ios6 I can't access my downloaded iTunesU videos anymore. They come up in search but video app says 'no videos'. I have the new iPad and the latest version of iTunesU.

    After updating ios6 I can't access my downloaded iTunesU videos anymore. They come up in search but video app says 'no videos'. I have the new iPad and the latest version of iTunesU. How can I get the video app working with the iTunesU again?

    I have a similar problem with ITunesU, I used to be able to access them from my car dock, but now they dont appear and the fwd/back buttons on the steering wheel wont affect them.
    It seems taking them from ITunes into their own app has confused many other applications or dock connectors. Im going to try and remove the ITunesU app as I dont want to have lost the extra functionality

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    maybe this:
    iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
    If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.
