1st gen iPad

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.

  • 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 Wont b long and all the apps will b outdated. And it slower going through safari to access my outdated apps and not near as convenient.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?

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?

  • My 1st gen iPad is not recognized in iTunes, help!  I have uninstalled, reinstalled, stoped and started the mobile....nothing is working.

    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 83 yo dad has a 1st gen iPad.  He has so many photos he would like to view on his HD TV; so I purchased Apple TV for him.  But I am having a hard time setting this up.  I have been able to get his music on Apple TV, but he really wants the photos. Help

    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.

  • 1st Gen iPad won't connect to my home router. EVER. Refuses to connect to my wifi.

    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!

  • 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.

  • HT3500 can i connect my 1st gen ipad to my HP photosmart C4780

    Can i connect my 1st gen ipad to my HP photosmart C4780

    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.

  • 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.

  • 1st gen Ipad updates

    My wife has the 1st gen Ipad and most of the apps today will not install because it need to update the software, but when updating it says its up to date with 5.1. Why will it not update?

  • 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.

  • 1st Gen iPad problems with Pages

    I have a 1st Gen iPad and have the Pages app, but now that the new Pages app has been issued for iOS7 I can no longer open docs from the cloud in the older app. I saved the docs from my mac as a pages09 file and still can't get them to open. What now?

    I spent about 4+ hours with Tech Support on this issue.  There is no luck according to their Senior Technician. He spend time rummaging over the internet offering me solutions with 3rd party apps to get 'iCloud" back with pages, but none of them worked with an "Offline" mode.  This was a big hinderance on myself as well. I am a Tech Writer and had a lot of documents that I needed to send to my Editor...he uses Pages as well...  Once I edited my documents in the New Pages, he couldn't opened them...this is not good.  I know newspapers all around are probably feeling this burn right now.
    I have found a solution however, but it requires a previous purchase.  I bought Pages 09 back on 10.6.3 Snow Leopard long before the Mac App Store was opened to Snow Leopard 10.6.8  What I did what continue using that program, denying the update to Pages in OSX Mavericks.  Still though with all the documents I had to open each individual one and resave them as .DOC format then reimport them into iCloud after cleaning out the /Library/Mobile Documents/Pages section.
    Now as I am a Tech Writer, I do NOT expect the average user to figure this out or even need to figure this out, this was an unacceptable move by Apple and after looking at the specs, there is NOTHING that would prevent them from making Pages 10 Backwardscompatible for Pages 09 users or add Pages 10 support to iPad.  Since they ONLY allow it to run on iOS7 Devices, kind forces you to run out an buy a new iPad2 or higher.... since I am quite confortable with my 1st Generation, I will continue using Pages 09'  and if worst comes to worse, I will roll back to Mountain Lion,  there was no update feature on that one and never did it bother me about upgrading Pages 09....
