Back up and Reset Question, 1st Generation iPad

If I back-up my 1st generation iPad to Cloud and then reset the iPad, will I recover all apps that were on the iPad when I sync to Cloud after the reset? Thanks!

Welcome to Apple Communities
No. It will download the apps

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.

HT1695 I have the 1st generation iPad. All of a sudden it will not connect to my wi-fi. It finds my wi-fi, but will not totally connect. I have done everything...reset network, rebooted router etc and it still will not connect. Any suggestions?

I have the 1st generation iPad. All of a sudden it will not connect to my wi-fi. It finds my wi-fi, but will not totally connect. I have done everything...reset network, rebooted router etc and it still will not connect. My other divices are connected....iPhone and 3 Macs. Any suggestions?

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

My 1st generation iPad is not being recognized by my computer. The comuter recognizes my iPhone and my itouch still. Please help

As it says in the title,my 1st generation iPad will not connect or be recognizes by my computer. Yet my computer has no problems with my iPhone or my itouch. What am I doing wrong? Something in the settings? I have no clue, please help

Today, when I turned on my iMac, neither my bluetooth mouse or keyboard were recognized. I had to connect my old USB keyboard-mouse to type this message.
And yes, I restarted my iMac, didn't help.
Can someone help?
PS: Barry, "resetting SMC" doesn't help

OK, so I have the 1st generation iPad. There is an AirPlay symbol, near the music symbol. Is this useless? If I enable it, what does it enable? And, what technological advances were made over the last 2 versions that have made my iPad 1, obsolete?

My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

HT4341 I will be traveling to The Netherlands, Germany and Luxembourg in May. I want to take my MacBook Pro, 1st generation iPad and iPhone 4G. Is there one charger that I can take for all devices, as opposed to taking three different chargers?

I live in the US, and I will be traveling to The Netherlands, Germany and Luxembourg in May. I will be taking my MacBook Pro, 1st generation iPad and iPhone 4G. Is there a universal charger that I can use with all three devices, as opposed to taking three seperate chargers?

I obviously have three different chargers, I guess my question is, can I use just one of those chargers for all three devices, and if so, which one of the three, or does it matter? And if I can in fact use just one of the three, then why would I need all three in the US? Also, if one of the three will work on all devices, would the automotive charger work the same, one for all? Thank you for your reply.

Hello I went to wipe my 1st generation iPad and then tried to update the iOS now the iPad won't work at all any ideas what I can do?

Hello I went to wipe my 1st generation iPad and then tried to update the iOS now the iPad won't work at all any ideas what I can do?

You can't update the original iPad beyond iOS 5.1.1 so if you were already running that version, there was no reason to wipe the iPad to try to update.
Won't work at all, doesn't tell me the whole story. Does it power up but not respond to anything? Does it not power up at all? Some detailed information in context would really be helpful.
IF the device will not start up, try a reset. Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple Logo appears on the screen.

HT5457 How do I update my 1st generation IPAD to IOS 5.1 and I do not have a software update feature on it.

I have a 1st generation IPAD and it is currently running IOS 4.3. I would like to update it to IOS 5.1 but am having difficulty doing it. I have followed the update software instructions in ITUNES but my IPAD will not display the update software feature under General in Setttings. What do I need to do?

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

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

Turn off your iPad and put it in recovery mode. Try to restore it via iTunes.

HT5278 1st generation ipad update

when will apple put an update out for 1st generation ipads?? Until then most apps will not work anymore etc.

Depending on what version of iOS you have there may be an update. Assuming you have iOS lower than 5 you'll need to connect your iPad to a Computer running iTuines (Can be a Mac or a Pc doesn't matter) and follow the update prompts.
You'll probably want to back up the iPad before updating though.
iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Scroll down to the section titled: Update your device using iTunes
You'll ony be able to update the iPad to a maximum of iOS 5.1.1 though if you don't already have it.
However before you do that, you may want to try and just perform a simple reset. If you haven't done this in a long time, the iPad can get stuffed up and develop minot glitches like freezing and crashing Apps.
Double click the home button to get to the Recently Used Apps Bar. Hold down on one of the icons until it starts to wiggle, and then tap on the (x) in the corner to close them off.
Once you've closed them all, tap the home button to go back to normal mode. Then Hold down the Home and Sleep/power buttons until you see the Apple Logo. Ignore any sliders that may appear. The iPad will perfomr the equivalent oif a reboot on a computer. This usually ehlps clears many unexplained glitches.

Thanks - the backup to iCloud had not been turned on but fortunately it was backed up to iTunes and we restored from there.

HT1430 Why does my 1st generation iPad skip step 3 while syncing?

What to do about my 1st generation iPad iOS 5.1.1 skipping step 3 while syncing?

If that happened to me, I would reset my iPad. Hold the on/off and home buttons together for about 10 seconds till the Apple logo appears.
I would also reboot my computer.
Then assuming you have the current version of iTunes on your computer, try the sync again.

How do I update the operating software to current version. I have 1st generation ipad

Hi - how do I update to current operating system. I have 1st generation iPad.
Thanks

What version of iOS do you currently have on it : Settings > General > About > Version ? The first gen iPad only supports up to iOS 5.1.1, you can't install iOS 6 or 7 on it.
If it's on iOS 5+ but not 5.1.1 then you should be able to update to 5.1.1 directly on it via Settings > General > Software Update. If it's on iOS 4 then you can only update via your computer's iTunes. But before you do an update take a backup.
To update via a computer, connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPad via File > Devices > Back Up.
Then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand sidebar, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button
Updating to iOS 5+ : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
