1st gen iPad with iOS 5.1.1 has no sound!

My iPad has no sound. I've tinkered with the settings. I've restored the settings. I've erased the iPad of all content. Nothing has helped. I read somewhere that iOS 5.1.1 upgrade may have caused this. Is there a solution??? Can I revert back to a previous iOS?

Do you get sounds in any apps e.g. Music and Videos but not others ? If you do get sound in Music and Videos then check what Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), and you can either mute/unmute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad above the volume switch, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085
In terms of downgrading the iOS version then no, that is not supported

Can't seem to find an IPAD that let's me control my playlists together...or let's me organize my videos (Karaoke) the way I want to. Can someone help or direct me?
Can't even find the old IPad for sale...I have a MB292LL with 4.3.2 (8H7)

Here is a hint, google:
ipad video playlists
Found:
This discusses some options.
iOS 7 took away the ability to play videos continuously.
Two stand-alone apps.

There was a hint of relabeling your videos to music video so you can use the itunes video playlists.
I have not tried this.

Because the device isn't capable of running iOS 6 and newer.

Take it back to Best Buy and talk to the store manager. Possibly they can work something out with Apple.
In the meantime, try this - 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 - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)

Multi-Touch Gestures disabled on 1st gen iPad in iOS 5?

Apple, please fix this!!! This is absurd! Why on earth would you handicap 1st gen ipad owners? There is no hardware limitation with the 1st gen, so why remove this from iOS 5 for ipad1? As a developer who used xCode I enabled the new multi-touch gestures on my iPad and they were a great addition, and now to read that under iOS 5 they are no supported on first gen ipad is simply beyond me. Outrageously stupid. I already installed iOS 5 on my iPad. So I am simply out of luck????

Please fix this Apple! I have been using them for a while and going back to not having them on my iPad 1 is VERY frustrating!
Productivity levels decrease while using the iPad in the "old school" way clicking the home button all the time to switch through apps. If gestures are to be non existent in iPad 1 I think it would be good to know the technical reasoning behind this. Also, the online documentation should be reviewed and promote this as part of iPad 2 and above, not iPads as described in:
http://www.apple.com/ios/features.html
"iOS 5 includes a few new moves and shortcuts to help you get around even quicker on your iPad: Using four or five fingers, swipe up to reveal the multitasking bar, pinch to return to the Home screen, and swipe left or right to switch between apps."
Thanks and looking forward to a fix

HT4623 What can I do to update my 1st Gen IPad to iOS 6

The most recent version of iOS that is available for the original iPAD is 5.1.1. It will not run anything beyond that.

Trouble with loading videos - Manually manage music and videos not supported now with iOS5 and a 1st gen iPad?

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?
Thanks

Yea, 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.

Is the new Pages iOS 5 app compatible with 1st gen iPad?

Hello, I should point out that I have upgraded my iPad software to the new iOS 5 version. I just saw in the Apps store since the new Pages update a few days ago, that some people are complaining about incompatibility for the 1st gen iPad. Any truth to that before I purchase?
Thanks!
-Jack

Hello All,
Guess what? Yes indeed the newly updated Pages works perfectly with the 1st gen iPad like what I've got. And documents do, in fact, work in either portrait or landscape mode automatcially as you turn your iPad. Apparently, you should first update to the new iOS5 before you install the new Pages.
Thought I'd throw that out,
-Jack
P.S. Pages is fantastic on the iPad and especially when it's hooked up with the Apple wireless keyboard.

HT5457 New app upgrades put 1st gen Ipad users out in the cold - Recently DirecTV and The Blaze both upgraded their ipad apps so that only ios 6 and above were compatible - anyone who has a 1st gen ipad cannot upgrade to ios 6 - what is up with this Appl

So 1st gen ipad users are basiclly left out in the cold unless they go out an buy a new IPad - of course DTV and The Blaze are blaming Apple and Apple is blaming them - what is the deal Apple - I pay for my subscription to The Blaze in order to have it on my IPad and now I can't even use it - same with DTV - so is Apple now forcing people to buy upgraded devices thru their apps that will no longer support the older generations - what a joke this is and bad business.

Unfortunately software always moves faster than hardware.
Apple's not going to change things. You can try talking to those two app developers and have them make their older versions available.
Beyond that, if you wish to express yourself directly to Apple, http://www.apple.com/feedback/
This is just a user to user forum, so there's nothing anyone here can do for you I'm afraid.

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.

HT5457 iPad 1 is a lot newer than iPhone 3GS. It has the A4 chip! Why no IOS 6 for the 1st gen. iPad?

iPad 1 is a lot newer than iPhone 3GS. It has the A4 chip! Why no IOS 6 for the 1st gen. iPad?

quite surprised it suggests that iPhone 3gs s more powerful than the iPad1? iphone 3gs is supported. something is fishy. i don't want to fall out of love with apple products. looks like it's a business decision to cut support for iPad 1 - not technical shortcoming. if apple cut support for 3gs they will upset customers who just bought 3gs before iphone 5 was launched.... tsk tsk tsk.. i'm not from US. hope to see a class action suit by US peeps to resolve this...

How to fresh install iOS on 1st gen iPad?

I'm being "gifted" a couple dead 1st gen iPads. Both have dead batteries and supposedly no OS. Included will be new batteries. I'm sure I can swap batteries (YouTube has a video for everything). I just d/l'ed iOS 5.0. I've never dealt with Apple before (I'm a Linux guy...shrug) so I don't know jack about this.
How can I install iOS 5.0 on my "new" iPads? I'm planning on using one for myself and giving one to a local, home schooling family that can't afford a "toy" like this (even if this "toy" would make a good learning base).
Do I just plug the iPad into the computer and hit a few keys on the iPad screen? Or is there more to it?
Thanks for all your help. I've installed Windows and Linux OSs via both USB (thumb) drive and CD to a computer and Android OSs via both BT and USB cable (to/from my computer). I'm not a complete computer noob but know enough to break things pretty well.
Thanks in advance!!

Just this much of your post indicates you are starting down a path that is going to be loaded with problems. I suggest you throw this download away, and start down a brand new path.
Apple software goes through checks and balances to make sure the latest software for that version of hardware is what gets installed. Your best approach, if you somehow successfully installed new batteries, is to install the current iTunes version on your computer (11.1.5), and then plug your iPad into iTunes using the USB cable that was supplied with the iPad when it first was shipped by Apple. iTunes on your computer should detect the iPad, and hopefully proceed with the approprate setup.
