All the apps I want to download say I need to update my iPad 1, but there is no update later than iOS 5.1.1. what can I do?

when I try to update some of my apps on my iPad it says i need to update to iOS 6.0 or higher but I can't. my device keeps saying its up to date. I have iOS 5.1.1 my device is the iPad 1 1st generation. anyone know what I can do?

Unfortunately, there's not much you can do beyond either giving up on those apps or upgrading your device to a new one.

  • I have 10.7.2 and the app store on mac mini says i need to update to that same number, and it is a long update why and what to do? applecare rep was rude and said it does not need it ? ignore? what to do?

    about says i have 10.7.2 yet app store on mac mini says i need to update it,
    what to do? applecare rep rude says ignore

    i appreciate the help since Applecare is not helping,
    and these replies have not helped, things have gotten worse,
    first even though you tell me i dont need the update, i still don't like seeing
    an update is available every time i go to macappstore,
    next three times now I downloaded the update, it is the whole 3.79 gb Mac OS 10.7.2
    i do the long download for the update,
    and install and give whatever they ask in passwords etc,
    then it reboots and go through all the new installation crap
    that I need to do
    it is getting to be like a Microsoft project here,
    and i cannot get google to show me the way or Applecare
    with the one year left on extended support, and these apple communities
    don't get me wrong, i am greatful for any help,
    especially since Apple care refuses to help,
    when they are paid to help
    you guys and gals are volunteers and mean well, even though you want to be right about what you say,
    the point is it says I need an update for the 10.7.2 and won't give me the update
    and take the update off,
    now if you say it is something i do not need and it is a glitch with macappstore,
    then why doesn't it get fixed or someone else complain about it?
    sorry if this offends Apple Zealots which i am one,
    I have a windows netbook but I am having more trouble with the latest mac and Icloud which I paid for extra service
    and two iphones  and i am frustrated, that on the iphone and itunes apps are missing and itunes does not have a direct chat line to help but that is for another forum, just putting it out there.

  • I have my boyfriend's apple ID and password, how do I check what apps he has on his phone? ( not all the apps that he had downloaded, but the ones that are actually on his phone). And How can I remotely download apps to his phone if I have his ID

    I have my boyfriend's apple ID and password, how do I check what apps he has on his phone? ( not all the apps that he had downloaded, but the ones that are actually on his phone). And How can I remotely download apps to his phone if I have his ID and PW?
    Thank you so much

    If you want seperate accounts for managing apps and purchasing content, basically yes, you need two account and would need to repurchase. However, if you just want seperate ID for iMessgae, icloud and such, you can do that and still continue sharing the same Id for apps and itunes.

  • Every app I try to download says I need iOS 6 or higher I have the first generation iPad what can I do?

    I have a first generation iPad every app I try to download says I need iOS 6.0 or higher to use it is there anything I can do?

    Some apps will let you run on a lower version of iOS.  Here's how to find out if the ones you want will run on your iPad.
    1.  Open iTunes on your computer and go to the App Store
    2.  Download the apps you want to your iTunes account in iTunes
    3.  On your iPad, tap the App Store
    4.  Tap the purchased tab
    5.  The apps you downloaded to your iTunes account on your computer will be listed with a cloud icon next to them.
    6.  Tap the cloud and if the app will run on a lower version of iOS, it will give you the option to download a version that will run on your iPad.  If the app doesn't give you the option, there's nothing you can do.

  • Every time i try to put new music on my iPhone 5 it keeps puting on all the apps i have ever downloaded.

    Every time i try to put new music on my iPhone 5 it keeps puting on all the apps i have ever downloaded. And on top of that i don't even get my music on it! really anoying!!

    You are looking at the tabs in iTunes on your computer when your phone is connected? That is where you manage what gets transferred and what does not.

  • I have an ipo touch first generation when i click into an app on the app store i click on free or buy but a message then alerts me that my iPod is not compatible with this app. its says this for all the apps i try to download. so how can i download apps

    My ipod touch 1st generation keeps saying apps are not compatable so how can i download apps froms the app store??????????????????????????????????????????

    It sounds like you are trying to download and install apps that require a later version of iOS than what can be and is probably installed on your iPod Touch.  Your 1G iPod Touch can only be updated to IOS 3.1.3 and no higher.  You can check the current version by heading to Setttings -> General -> About.
    If the app requires a later version that iOS 3.1.3, then you will not be able to install or use that app unless you purchase a new iOS device.

  • HT204074 I am trying to download apps to the iPad that we just purchased from iTunes.   I click on all the apps I want downloaded and it keeps telling me I need to authorize this computer .  I have done what they told me to do and still wont let me downlo

    I am trying to downloadapps onto the iPad we just purchased, and it keeps telling me that I need to authorize my computer.  I go ahead and authorize by going into iTunes/store/authorize computer, I verify the information that is given.  I go back and try to redownload the apps and I get the same exact message, this computer is not authorized for this device.  What am I doing wrong?

    I have been trying to work through this problem by myself and have so far downloaded the most current version of iTunes.  Frome there when it tells me I have to authorize this computer, I had to not put in the iPad information, I had to authorize with my current iTunes information, and any iPad or iPod, iPhone information.  I have several people in the family that have different accounts, so I had to authorize each and every individual account because I didnt know which apps or music was purchased under which user.  Hope this helps others....  Good luck!!

  • All the apps that I have downloaded are "waiting" and whenever I try to sync apps on my computer with my phone, the apps section is greyed out and won't allow me to do anything. I have tried restoring to factory settings but it didn't work.

    How can I access my apps? They are all greyed out in itunes. I have tried restoring my iphone to factory settings but that didn't work. I have a feeling it may have something to with the restrictions settings on my phone  restrictions are on) but it won't allow me to change the restrictions without putting in a passcode. I don't remember ever having a passcode and after several attempts have not been able to get the right code.
    Also. on my phone, in settings, personal hotspot, iCloud and Twitter are greyed out. And, the App Store icon is missing from my screen as well.
    Can anybody help me with this?
    Thanks

    yep, unfortunately can't reset without the passcode either.
    With regards to doing a restore, do you mean:
    open itunes on my computer
    click on my device on the left
    go to the device summary
    click restore
    it then asks if i want to back up before i restore (to which i say no)
    then it asks me if i'm sure I want to restore to factory settings and that all of me media and data will be erased and replaced with the newest version ( to which I say yes)
    then it takes about 90 mins to do this but when I look at my phone, everything is exactly the same.
    Am I missing something? Obviously I'm technologically challenged, but I HAVE to get to the bottom of this!

  • The app I want to download from the cloud will not finish downloading and keeps restarting.

    I tried to update the I Am T-Pain 2.0 app, but the update failed. I tried starting the download process over and over again, but it would not download. I had experienced a similar issue before so I deleted the app and the temporary files from the download and tried downloading the app from iCloud. It didn't work. The download will start all over when it is about to finish. Really annoying.

    Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
    If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to resume the download.
    And you did try rebooting like this? Reboot 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

  • HT201304 In the App Store there is no download button on the app I want to download

    I am trying to download netflix and pandora and there is no button in the App Store to let me download it

    I have the exact same problem on two different iPad 2 (WiFi), the iPad 2 (ATT) and iPad 3 (verizon) do not have the issue.  All 4 are running 7.0.4.  Basically many apps do not have the 'free' or '$.$$' while many do.
    A quick look shows the same ones as the OP Netflix & Pandora, there are alos many others... Vudu & Red Karaoke are a couple other examples I was working on when I ran across this thread. 
    I've done a hard reset on both iPad 2 but it did not work.  As I said many apps apear normal (both free and paid) but a lot are unavailable to download. 

  • Java runtime plugin 14.9 is installed on my Mac 10.8, but the plugin status report from Mozilla says I need to update it. How do I resolve this?

    Mozilla's plugin status report says that I need to update Java Runtime Environment, and that I am running version 14.9.0. But when I download the update, all I get is "Java 8 Update 40", which my computer says is an older version. I can't find any info on a later version than 14.9. Nor can I find this plugin in my computer -- it does not appear in the System Preferences window, or in the Applications Folder (including in Utilities). How do I clear this up? (Note: I disabled Firewall).

    Hmm, Java 8 Update 40 should be the current version for both Windows and Mac. Do you recall where you got a version 14.9 -- was it part of an Apple update instead of coming from Oracle (which now operates java.com)?
    I see similar threads on Apple's discussion forums but can't personally confirm whether the solutions work. For example:
