HT4623 Can you update the 1st generation IPad? Because most of my games are IOS6 and I want to play it using ios7.

It get on my nerves when I enter games that arent IOS5+. Please update it.

The iPad 1 can not be upgraded beyond 5.1.1.

Does anyone know if I can print to hp photosmart 5510 from my 1st generation ipad if I can't download the drivers for the printer?

Am trying to set up an HP Photosmart printer and it is proving much more complicated than I'd expected. I don't seem to be able to download to my ipad from the HP website - does anyone know how I manage to print, or get my ipad to recognidse the printer, if I've no printer software downloaded?
Thanks, in anticipation, for your help

You can't download drivers, or any other software, via a browser on the iPad. If the printer isn't the HP Photosmart 5510 e-AiO B111a which supports AirPrint, and it also isn't supported by HP's ePrint app, then you can see if any of the third-party printer apps such as Print Central For iPad or Print n Share work with it.

My 1st generation ipad will not connect to any wifi anymore

My I pad suddenly stopped connecting to any wifi....tried master restart..nothing...please help?

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

Why can't I update my 1st generation ipad past iOS version 5.1.1?

My 1st generation iPad crashed all the time. I can hardly use it any longer. Someone suggested updating to a new version of iOS. My current version is 5.1.1 & it keeps saying that is the latest version. Why can't I update it??

In theory you're right that Missy8818's device will "continue work as it always has" except that more and more apps will require updates that she won't be able to do. Before long, it really won't work like it always has.
Not exactly. Just because apps have updates available, does not mean they are required. You will not be able to update apps to get the new features and looks but the version of the apps you currently have should work as they do right now even if they are no longer available in the app store. Just be sure to backup up your device and your iTunes library.
My frustration is also in the lack of options.. I have a 15 yr old Win 98 machine that I could still use if I wanted to – albeit with outdated, old, but still functioning software. Sure using these older versions I give up newer bells and whistles, but that is a compromise I CAN CHOOSE to make if I wish to hold on a little longer to my hardware. Apple offers no such choice with the Ipad. Their timeline for obsolescence is your time line. Take it or leave it.
As with your iPad, the 15 year old Windows 98 machine will not be able to update to the most current versions of the apps (programs) either, including Microsoft's own Internet Explorer and Windows Media Player.

1st generation iPad running iOS 5.1.1 and can't seem to update the iOS. Any ideas?

I currently have a 1st generation iPad that is running on iOS 5.1.1. I have been unable to update the operating system. In fact, when I look for updates under the general settings icon nothing comes up. Shouldn't this older iPad be running on iOS 7.0.2 like my new iPad? Also, I have 19 app updates that I can't even access. I'm assuming this is because iOS 5.1.1 is too antiquated, thus not meeting the requirements for the other apps to update. Thank you for any help or advice you can offer.

my ipad 1st gen when i go to update to ios 5.1.1 on itunes and run check update it says ios 4.2 is the furthest version? Please Help

The audio on my 1st gen iPad is sporadic -- can't trust alarms and sometimesdownkoaded iTunes won't play. What's going on?

My 1st generation IPad's audio is sporadic. Can't trust alarms and sometimes downloaded iTunes will advance but nothing can be heard. And yes, I have checked to be sure the audio Is turned on and the volume up high. Can anyone help me? Please don't tell me it's a hardware issue. . . .

I tried to install it, but now a little window pops up that says "The installer has insufficient privileges to access this directory C:Program Files\Quick Time\QTSystem\Quick Time.Resources.en.lproj. The installation cannot continue. Log on as an administrator or contact your system administrator".
Although those messages do sometimes indicate a folder permissions problem, they can also be caused by disk damage. So let's try running a chkdsk over your C drive first.
See the following Microsoft document for instructions and a "Guided Help":
[How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP|http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315265]
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, reboot the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly now?

My father gave me his 1st generation ipad. He restored settings and now I can't get itunes back on it. HELP!!!!

My Father gave me his 1st generation ipad. He reset all setting back to factory and now I can't load itunes. I have plugged it into two different computers and I can't get it to work. HELP!!

You can't delete iTunes. The preinstalled apps cannot be deleted or installed again. It's there somewhere.
Swipe from screen to screen to look for it.
Check Settings>General>Restrictions and make sure that you didn't disable it.
You can also reset the home screen layout and the icon will reappear - but the home screen will return to the way that it looked when you first activated your iPad.
Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout.

HT4972 Why can't I update my 1st generation IPad to IOS6?

Hello, I was wondering if someone could please tell how to or Why can't I update my 1st generation IPad to IOS6?
I would like to give thanks in advance for helping.

The first gen iPad can only be upgraded to iOS 5.1.1

HT4623 Can you update the 1st generation IPad to IOS 6?

Can I update my 1st generation IPad to IOS 6?

Sorry, no. iOS 5.1.1 is the highest possible for that model.

HT4623 Why can't my 1st generation iPad update to iOS 6? Memory is not an issue.

Why can't my 1st generation iPad update to iOS 6 when memory is not an issue?

The first gen iPad has a slower processor (A4) than the iPad 2 (dual-core A5) and iPad 3 (dual-core A5X) and 4 (A6X), and it also has less memory - 256 meg, compared to the iPad 2's 512 meg and the iPad 3 and 4's 1024 meg. My first gen iPad got noticeably slower with iOS 5 than it was with iOS 4, so I doubt that it could cope with iOS 6.

HT4623 I have a 1st generation iPad &recently updated to iOS 5.1, but I can't find my AppStore app icon! Help!

I have a 1st generation iPad and recently updated to iOS 5. However, I can't find my AppStore app icon now. Like it's disappeared!
How do I get the icon back?

Do your have Restrictions turned on? Settings>General.
If that's not it, scroll to the left until you get to the search page. enter "App Store", does this find the app? If so, then the icon is lost on some later page or is in some folder.
