Anyway to restore Dropbox connectivity to iOS 5.1.1 for iPad 1

Hi all,
I mistakenly thought I'd do a full restore on my old iPad and I'd get everything back.  BIG MISTAKE!!!  A lot of apps have been removed prior to IOS7 (I thought I was given the option to restore to the last available version - but not for everything).  Part of this is DropBox (as well as Facebook).  Are there any alternatives or anyway I can retrieve my old DropBox app for my iPad 1 runnign IOS 5.1.1
Thanks.

OK, for those that might have the same problem, I found a solution.
Apps that were downloaded directly to the iPad doesn't update itself to the last available compatible version.  However, if you select those apps in iTunes and downloaded them again in iTunes (for me it was Facebook & Dropbox) - it will attempt to download them to the iPad as well (if you've got your iPad set to sync via Wifi as well as automatically download new apps).  It will attempt to download and fail, because it stupidly tries to download the latest version for iOS7 into your old iPad 1 iOS5.1.1  Delete the "stuck" failed downloads and now re-download the those apps from the iPad Apps Store, now it will give you the choice to download the last compatible versions of those apps!
Yay.  Wierd workaround though.

    These are user to user forums. Apple does not participate here and does not respond to posts. For the record, since the iPad 2 supports iOS 8 any attempt to update the iPad 2 will result in an update to 8.1. Apple only supports updating to the latest version of the operating system that the device supports.

    What router are you using? make/model/version
    What security type are you using? If it is WEP then symbolic (non hex) keys may be converted to hex in different ways by different operating systems. Is your laptop a Windows PC?
    If you are using WEP then drop it and move to WPA2. WEP has been deprecated by the WiFi alliance since 2004 as insecure (it can be hacked in seconds).

  • Limit on devices per user that can connect to Office Mobile or Office for iPad apps?

    We are are on an E3 license for Office 365. What is the maximum number of devices that a user can connect to the various mobile apps? I had hard 5 was the max, but can not find any documentation to support this. We are interested in using both Office Mobile
    and the new Office for iPad apps and want to understand any restrictions at the user level. Thanks.

    Hi,
    You are correct 5 devices max per user, these devices could be a PC/Tablet/Phone etc... (they all count as a device)

  • Dropbox no longer an "open in" option in iOS 5.1.1 for iPad

    I recently updated my iPad software to iOS 5.1.1 and I can no longer "Open In" Dropbox. I can still open in all other apps such as Kindle, Evernote, etc.  Does anyone have a fix for this? Thank you.

    Thanks msmit, I did try that. I went back and updated some other apps which solved the problem. Interestingly, Dropbox was not one of the apps that had an update.

  • IOS 5 Update Warning for iPad 1 Users

    If you sync to multiple computers you may loose all your Apps and data when you update your iPad 1 from iOS 4 to iOS5.
    iTunes is SUPPOSED to back up all your Apps and data before the update, and is SUPPOSED to restore them afterward.  This is not how it worked for me. Either Apps were simply not restored, or were not backed up in the first palce -- either way, they are all gone.
    I can re-download them, if I can remember them all and have the several hours to do so.  However, all your data will be gone.  For example, I had an irreplaceable library of documents in my GoodReader App that are now gone for good, despite having synced daily to two computers.
    WARNING ADVICE:  If you have applications and data that are irreplaceable, make sure you find another way other than iTunes to back up your information before performing this update.
    Another reason why iPad is not ready for the business enterprise environment.

    I've tried that numerous times this morning without any joy. Screen just goes black then when I let go of the buttons it goes back into the 3 screen loop.
    BUT.....
    I don't know if it's a timing thing but I just tried holding down both buttons as soon as the first Apple logo screen appeared and it popped back into recovery mode
    It's currently running the restore and so far so good, fingers crossed !

  • Upgrade to iOS 6.1.3 for iPad stopped cable from working

    Hey guys, not too long ago I finally decided to upgrade to ios 6.1.3., because a lot of the apps I wanted needed it. After updating it, my cable to connect to the tv (30 pin male to hdmi female cord from Apple store) stopped working, displaying the message 'This accessory is not support by the iPad'. And the T.V. screen remains black. Has anyone else experienced this and/or solved this issue? Can it be solved at all? Because it's a real **** off, especially since I didn't want to upgrade to ios 6 in the first place. My iPad literally just lost half of its usefulness.

    That's not possible on a device other than an iPhone 3GS.

  • Ios 6 not compatible for ipad 1?, ios 6 not compatible for ipad 1?

    ?

    I'm also slightly annoyed about this.  The biggest reason is likely to be relative performance of the iPad, and the installed base.  There will be many more 3GS phones out there still in use than iPad first gen.
    There were three major features announced for iOS 6 that are performance related.
    Maps and navigation
    Siri
    Safari's javascript engine and the tab viewer.
    All of these will place higher loads on the machine, and may in some respect be reliant on certain cellular or wifi chip capabilities, as well as raw CPU and graphics peformance.
    I'm still surprised that the 3GS might be considered more capable than the iPad first gen, but I think that then comes down to the size of the installed base.  Many iPad 1 users have already swapped out
    My preference would be to see support for the iPad 1, but with certain features disabled if they can't get the performance they need.  3D maps are going to be nice, but not exactly critical.  However, its not clear whether they will bring the new iOS 6 map tiles (from Apple) to iOS 5 - its potentially doable without any software change, as its server side.  Although they use Google maps, I'm not sure that they rely on Google servers to provide the images.
    Also, we are still some way off the release date, and its possible that they will do more optimising of iOS 6 that will allow the iPad first gen to get an update including most of the features.  They may just be holidng back at the moment based on what they know is good.
    I was considering a MB Air purchase soon, but I'm now in the position of thinking that I will defer that if I have a more compelling reason to purchase an iPad update.  That won't happen until Jan 2013 at the earliest, when we can expect an iPad 4th gen upgrade anyway.

  • How can I search for music in the iOS 7 Music app for iPad?

    I am sure this used to be possible, but I can see no way to do it in iOS 7.
    Since I use home sharing of my sizable iMac iTunes music library, this is very frustrating, as search on artist, album, song, etc., is essential for practical use.

    I have since found it; a tiny magnifying glass icon above the column of letters of the alphabet.
