1st Gen ipad; digital copies
I have a 1st Gen ipad and i would like to put my digital copies that some of my movies came with; when i tried it kept telling me that my ipad will not play this content. Has anyone else had this problem?
Yes. Very often digital copies available as a package with DVDs are not compatable with Mac OS or iOS.

Since updating my iPad 1st gen to iOS5.0.1 videos don't get loaded properly into the Videos app.
On the Summary page in iTunes of my docked iPad, I have always checked the box for "Manually manage music and videos".
I have my reasons for doing it this way, but that's for another thread perhaps.
The problem is that when I load a video to my iPad this way - by simply just dragging it from the desktop and onto the iPad, under Devices in iTunes - it copies/updates, and shows up on the iPad like it always has before iOS5. But now, with iOS5, when I undock, it can't be found anywhere within the Videos app on the iPad. The only way I can find it is to do a Search, which seems to find it, but when I click it, a different video plays - the first video in the Movies list in the Video app. Dock the iPad again, yes the video is there, according to iTunes, but no way to play it once iPad is undocked.
My suspicion is that with iOS5 you are no longer able to use the "Manually manage music and videos (Mmm&v)" that you will be forced to run everything through iTunes - and probably iCloud. I've unchecked the Mmm&v box, and get prompted with "Are you sure? - All existing content on the iPad will be replaced with content from your iTunes library". READ - "Rebuild your entire video and music collection, and this time run it all through iTunes. Welcome to iOS5. Have a nice day or two wasting your time rebuilding your entire video and music collection. Don't fight it. Use iTunes for everything! Until we finally make iTunes a decent piece of digital media management software, then you'll have to do it all again."
Okay, rant over - Anyone out there with running iOS5 on a 1st gen iPad with the Mmm&v option checked and able to load a video manually (not through iTunes)? Any other thoughts?
ThanksYea, i managed to fix my issue in a wild fashion way But I DONT suggest it to anyone.
I like to hear why it happened after upgrading iTunes and if there is any peaceful solution.
Bythe way, here is how i fixed it :
1-i checked "manually manage music and videos" checkbox and clicked on "Sync" button
2-It showed a threating message that it will erase my music and videos ,......
3-I clicked on OK button and let iTunes do any thing she said , but the second it started to delete my treasures from my iphone, i disconnected my phone by pulling USB cable.
Now i have my musics and videos untouched and got that Option enabled again and i can manage my Music/Videos and Books manually. -
Shared Library not sharing certain movies or tv shows to 1st Gen iPad
I purchased Blu-Ray's that included the digital copy feature for a couple of movies including The Lord of the Rings, as well as Transformers 2. I was successfully able to regiser the movies in iTunes, download them, and they play them fine directly on the Mac where I downloaded them to.
I use the Shared Libraries feature to allow my iPhone 4S as well as a 1st generation iPad, and a 13' Macbook Air to access content stored on the Mac where I downloaded the movies in question. The movies can be played fine via Shared Libraries on the iPhone 4s, the Macbook Air, but they are not even displayed in the Shared Libraries on the iPad. When I browse on the iPad, the movies do not appear in the library. However what is very odd is that other movies that I have purchased directly from iTunes do show up on the iPad - for example I bought Disney's Cars directly from the the iTunes store, and this one shows up fine on the iPad. I'm seeing this same content for several videos that shows up as "TV Shows" but don't display at all on the iPad.
A few technical details:
The movies were downloaded using iTunes version 10.6.1 (7) to a 2012 Mac Mini running the Intel Core i7 CPU.
OSX 10.7.4 is installed on the Mac
iOS 5.1.1 is installed on the 1st Gen iPad and on the iPhone 4s
I find it quite odd that the videos play on every Apple device I own, and even a PC that is using the Shared Library but not on the 1st Gen Ipad.
Any ideas?Mmmm....OK, just deleted a movie that was already there, and the ones I imported suddenly appeared. And started to download a TV series from the iTunes store, and the imported ones appeared too....no idea what was going on, but all is how I want it now...iTunes must have got it's knickers in a twist!!

How can I move music from my 1st gen iPad to my new 3rd gen iPad
How can I move all the music on my 1st gen iPad to my new 3rd gen ipad?
Transfer the music into iTunes on your computer and then sync the new iPad with iTunes.
Or download all of the purchased music on the new iPad. You can download the songs again for free in the Purchased Tab of the iTunes App as long as you use the same Apple ID that you used to buy the songs with originally. -
Is there a way to update 1st gen iPad past 5.1.1?
Is there a way to update 1st gen iPad past 5.1.1?
Yes but if I just wanted to get on the Internet I could have just bought a cheap tablet I can throw away when nothing works but Internet access. Wont b long and all the apps will b outdated. And it slower going through safari to access my outdated apps and not near as convenient. I was going to get an iPad air but I figure it will b almost useless in two or three years.

I received a 1st Gen IPad from a supplier as a gift to promote their products. They used their Apple account to load the apps. I am not able to load my own apps because their apple user is the one that pops up. How can I change it to mine?
Set it up as new device, explained in this article, without using the backup afterwards:

I have a 1st gen iPad. Upgrade to IOS 6.1.1 appeared, but it quit shortly into the installing and has not come back up again. Both the iPad and when synced to the iMac, say i am fully up to date at 5.1.1! Has anyone had / got the same issue? How can I upgrade when it doesn't acknowledge there is no need?
You are most welcome

I have done everything I can find online to solve my problem, but I still have the same problem. My 1st gen iPad is not recognized in iTunes! Cannot sync! Please, any suggestions from anyone? Anyone else having the same problem?
Hello casinojen,
I would be concerned as well if my iPad was not recognized by iTunes. Thank you for providing all the information with the steps you took in regards to this issue. I found an article with a few more steps you can take (you can skip the steps you have already taken):

My dad has a 1st gen iPad. He is 83 yo. I recently purchased an Apple TV for him because he loves Netflix and I told him that he could view his photos via the television. BUT, I'm not having success with Photostream. Help me.....I've been researching and trying everything I can and so far, no luck. He keeps asking about the photos, and I'm losing patience with myself and Apple TV. Can anyone help???? Thank you.

HELP ME PLEASE WITH THIS 1st GEN IPAD refusing to connect to Wi-Fi ISSUE
It shows up as having full signal, and shows the name of our network. But go to Safari and try to go do anything and it spins and spins then tells me "Cannot Open Page...Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding." Well...it never responded in the first place, so....
Apple says it works fine on their in-house system when we took it in. Told us to call Comcast. More than once, Comcast walked me through 20 mins of reconfiguring the router and the iPad and multiple phone calls and a trip to Comcast later...no go.They say it's Apple's problem now or that I have to buy a special Comcast technical support account for further help --- which doesn't guarantee anything....
This is rather BS to have this unusable thing for so long and now be expected to pay MORE money to get something like this working....and why won't anyone take responsibility? It cannot be that big a deal.
We now have been unable to use our expensive iPad for about 4 months or more. What the heck am I supposed to do? Throw it in the trash take the huge loss as a life lesson to not bother paying Apple prices for stuff that only works for a few months before some glitch or software issue makes it unusable without having to buy a new unit or pay someone to keep trying only to hear '...sorry, call someone else...'*
*Same thing happened with my perfecctly perfect dual G5 tower...motherboard burned out for no reason. Paid 1200 to replace that...then a year later the other main board fries...on a computer that barely ever got used...ended up having to literally give it away on Craigslist and buy a new iMac...which then made all my expensive music software and projects unusable. So I have about three years of special music project files sitting on a harddrive that will never be able to be used.
...I'm beyond frustrated since all we wanted the iPad for in the first place was to be able to check some websites and emails...help me help me.If the iPad works on other Wi-Fi systems then I'd have to agree that it is your own router causing the problem. To be sure take your iPad to a Starbucks or your library and a few other places than have Wi-Fi and test it out. If it works in those locations you'll need to talk to Comcast some more and be assertive. Something could have failed in your router.
Regarding your hard disk full of music. Put it in an enclosure and connect it to your Mac. Other World Computing sells all sorts of hard drive enclosures that you can install your drive in.
Computers can be frustrating but solutions are sometimes just around the corner. -
My sister gave me her 1st gen iPad to see if I could solve an issue. It won't turn on, and when it's plugged into a power cord there is a slow pulsing sort of flash that happens on the screen....any ideas?
Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank power On again in the normal way.] It is absolutely/appsolutely safe! Now see if it charges normally and after a period try to turn it on again. If the batter has been drained it could take 20 minutes or so for it to show that it is charging.
Also considering if the battery need replacing! -

In order to print from an iOS device, the printer must be AirPrint-enabled. If it is not, you have a number of options to still do so. One of them is PrintCentral.

I have the 1st gen iPad which don't have the new iOS 6 software and my kindle app will not open because of the new iOS 6 update. How do I get this app to open because 1st iPad is on version iOS 5 software?
You can try closing all of the apps in the recents tray, clears Safari, reset the iPad and see of that makes a difference.
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data.
Now close all apps. Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button twice.
Then reset the iPad. Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
You can also try restoring the iOS software and see if that helps at all.

Using 1 password with 1st gen iPad. How?
can't fine 1password 3 for 1st gen ipad. Itunes store only has ver 4 which will only work with IOS 6 and my aging Ipad won't work with IOS 6. Being abandoned with a 2 year old product is no fun. Thanks, Jerry
If the version that you want to use is no longer available, there is nothing that you can do about it.
I'm not familiar with the app, but if the developer updated it to work with iOS 6 only, then there is nothing that you or Apple can do about it. It would be up to the developer to make sure that the app will work in a lesser iOS.
If this is the app that you want, unfortunately, it only works in iOS 6.
