Amy more updates for iPad 1?

I just got notified of an update for the weather app but I need iOS 6. Anyone know?
Or considering no updates is there a way to turn off update notifications for individual apps?

Hi David,
The App information page contains that information. Not sure what weather app you were using, but here is an example:
This particular app is compatible with all anything runing 5.0, but as you can see, this developer listed what those devices are. The Weather Channel app, however, only states it is compatible with devices running 6.0 and above. They do not list the devices that fall under this category. But, again, it is the repsonsibility of the Developer to define that on the information page.
Can't see how Apple would be able to keep track of thousands of apps and then to not send update requests to devices that are no longer compatible. When a developer yanks the version that is compatible for IOS 5.0 devices, and then puts in one that is only compatible with IOS 6.0 devices, I don't think there is any way for Apple to know about that.
Maybe you could suggest that something be put in place so that when a developer does upgrade an App that was previously compatible with lower level IOS versions, and now is no longer compatible with those they have to include some sort of notification to Apple so that updates are no longer sent to devices not capable of upgrading to that higher level. But again, not even sure that would do any good, since it is the developer that sends the updates not Apple. The developer doesn't have any information about what device you have, and Apple doesn't know the developer is sending updates. Maybe have the ability to turn off all automatic updates as you can do with IOS updates.... You see the problem here. However, you can send any suggestion that you have to:

    This is an iPad user to user forum, so we don't have any way of knowing what Apple will do. But probably, iOS 5.1.1 is the last update.

    It will probably be quite some time before all apps require iOS 6. And, as long as you have the older versions of the apps on your iPad, you will probably be fine.

    What is the latest iOS for iPad 2? Is it iOS 7 or can you update to 8?
    all I remember is that my iPad mini performed poorly under iOS 7. Try to update it to the very latest version. Also you will have to use iOS 8.1.3, because 8.1.2 is no longer signed in case you were trying to install that. You can get the latest IPSW from http://IPSW.me just enter in your device and it will forward you to the right Apple ios download link.
    Another thing is keeping your device memory free, if you have a 16 gig device, it's harder to keep space free. my iPad mini is 16 gig, but all I can ever keep free is 1 GB so I keep it at that. Turn off "iCloud photo sharing beta" and that will help a little bit. also when you do a restore from iTunes, don't restore your backup right away, see how it performs fresh, and then add your apps back in one at a time you might have to sacrifice photos and other personal things for performance.

  • How can apple send out an os update that renders an important function of the software/hardware to not work? They knowingly have sent out this new os update for iPad which makes airplay nonfunctining! I need this for my business!

    How can apple send out an os update that renders an important function of the software/hardware to not work? They knowingly have sent out this new os update for iPad which makes airplay nonfunctining! I need this for my business!  I could understand if they didn't know, but it is all over the Internet! When I went in to have it revert back to os6 (which worked fine!) I was actually asked if I had done any research before I installed the upgrade! As if this is the consumer's fault for being dumb enough to fall for the upgrade!

    That is not what I have discovered, nor what others have discovered, nor what I was told when I went the Genius Bar.  I cannot remotely mirror to my MacBook Pro and it only started the day after I installed the upgrade.  We tested it with an iPad that had not been upgraded, no problem.

    It means that Apple is no longer producing the iPad 3rd generation....they are no longer making that version. The iPad 4 and the Mini iPad will both be running iOS 6 just like the iPad 3 is running (if you have updated) and there is no reason to believe that the iPad 3 will not be supported with software updates for some time to come.
    So yes - you will be able to get software updates for the iPad 3 in the future.

  • Will there be an update for iPad 1 after 5.1.1?

    I have the original iPad and I have it updated to 5.1.1 but it runs INCREDIBLY slow and crashes often. Will there be another update for it in the future or is this the end of the road for software updates?

    While there is nothing to suggest that there will be any additional updates for the original iPad. You might find some solution for your iPad running slow and frequently crashing.
    the first thing I would check is how much free space you have left. I think to should try to have at least 20% of the space free to allow efficient operation of apps and the iOS. If you have less than that try deleting some apps or data on order to free up more space.

  • Itunes wont detect IOS 5 software update for ipad 2

    Hey all,
    I am trying to update my ipad to the new IOS 5 software update. However - after i have synced my update and click 'check for update' it states 'This version of the iPad software (4.3.5) is the current version.'
    It seems that my itunes does not recognise the new update on the server.

  • New updates for iPad

    Since I have an iPad 2 and the new updates are for iPad how do I get rid of the updates with out downloading them?  If I do download them will they take up more space on my iPad2?

    Yes it is possible that some of them will take up more storage space on your iPad. If the updates are sizable enough and include enough new features it is possible that more space will be needed on the device.
    Will it be a significant amount - that would depend on what app you are trying to update.

  • Safari not running after ios8 update for ipad

    I updated my Ipad with Retina display with ios8 lately and noticed that safari is not running after update. whenever i try to open it it just pop open and close immediately and automatically.
    There was no problem of this kind before the update.
    Any solution??

    If the above doesn't work:
    (A) Try reset iPad
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    Note: Data will not be affected.
    (B) Try reset all settings
    Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings
    Note: Data will not be affected but settings for Wi-Fi, FaceTime, Message, Home Sharing will be reset
