Bloody stupid thing to do: why not IOS6 for iPad first generation ??

I do not understand why this version is not available for the first generation. this is stupid ... The iPhone 3GS ist older !!! It's very very stupid and I'm very very angry

kkuelor,
  I just had mine do the same thing (first gen iPad on iOS 5.1). It seems to have occured overnight. Odd that the iPad is failing at the exact 2 year mark or so. I got my first gen on the very first release date in April 2009 and from last night to this night, the iPad does not charge when connected via the 10W adapter, tried new USB cable, different wall outlets with other things plugged in (and on)...now it will not connect to iTunes/iPhoto by cable or charge via cable. I'll try the wall charge while it is off, and hopefully I can keep some charge on it while a solution works out. Hoping to see an answer to your question as I'm in the same boat now.

  • Why can I not update my iPad first generation to the latest software?

    Why can I not update my iPad first generation to the latest software?

    Which version of iOS is supported is a decision made by each
    individual software developer. If there is an app that is not available
    in iOS 5, contact the developer to see if they can provide a version
    compatible with your iOS.
    Perhaps one of these links may help:
    iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
    Vintapps 3.1.3 - paid app.
    Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.

  • I can't find app for iPad first generation! Why ?

    I Had an iPad first generation  and I can't find app under iOS 5.......why And sometime m'y IPad close alone.

    Apple requirements now ask to make them for iOS 7 and above. iPad 1 has become outdated and there are barely, if any, apps available for this device.
    If your iPad restarts on it's own, try restoring to factory settings.

  • Why not available for ipad? its obviously powerful enough... heres proof

    This is a user forum, so pleading to Apple here is not worth the effort.
    I assume that the Apple logic is that iMovie is made to edit video shot on the device.
    That is what it's made for, that is what they sell it for.
    At no time as Apple said it is for the iPad1, or for editing external video.
    I can see how editing video on the ipad1 is much nicer and bigger then the iphone or iPod, and also that you can copy video to the iPad via the camera connection kit.
    But iMovie is really as basic as editors come, and it is really intended as a shoot, cut, and run editor.
    If you really want to edit video, and not just throw it together and add some cheap flashy graphics (iMovie iOS), then you should buy a better iOS edit program.
    No-one, not even Apple, is stopping you buying a program for the ipad that does what you want.
    iMovie was never advertised as being for iPad1, or to edit video shot on another device.
    So in my opinion your asking for a different program then iMovie is.
    Apple isn't dictation what you iPad can't do, but they have released a program that you can't use.
    By your argument we could all get angry that Apple doesn't let us run FCP on the iPad, or why you can't run facetime on your camera less iPad.
    You want an app that edits video, buy one.
    Don't moan that a program that is not made for your device should be made to work because you think you deserve it.

    U can only do this from ur computer?!? Why not from my ipad or Apple TV

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Not all movies can be re-downloaded, only a handful of the movie studios agreed to license their movies for re-downloading with Apple.

  • Why not whatsapp for ipod

    Why not whatsapp for iPod Tuch ?

    Because the developer dropped support for al devices except the iPhone about two years ago. Not an Apple issue.

  • I loved ny iPad at first now im starting to hate it, because flashplayer doen't work there are so many pages i cant open and tings i cant see.why are Apple so difficult? Why not open for flashplayer??!!!!

    WHy not open fore flashplayer. I'm starting to hate my iPad because og it, ther are so many tings i cant see and do on internett because flashplayer cant be installed on ipad.i hate it!!!

    IT's up to them to redo their pages to be more compliant with the rest of the internet. Flash, as a program, is like a VCR. Still usable, still functional, but its days are numbered....may be numbered in the thousands, but its a program that people literally block and disallow from their computers. As far as some are concerned, it's legal malware.
    I personally love the fact that I can avoid all those '2 meg take over your browser and screen' ads with my iPad. It is frustrating to find polls and the such that don't function, but that's when I just pull out hte laptop and use that. And on any given day I run my laptop with flash deliberately turned off and blocked...and its's amazing how fast the internet is without all the massive ads.
    There are some browsers in the app store that work with some flash sites (there's none that are universally compatible....part of the problem with Flash as a program, it doesn't even work consistently from comptuer to computer)
    Skyfire and Photon are two names I've seen recommended. You can give them a try and see if they work for you.

  • HT201263 I have restored my iPad (first generation without retina display) and it finishes restoring software but will not stay on for me to restore the data and then shuts off whenever I try to turn it on. I don't believe that it is charging! HELP!

    Long story about what happened but basically I was using the iPad (first generation without retina display) to watch TV at one point it had 20% battery so I plugged it in then it wasn't charging and I didn't realize so it got to 5% and shut off. I plugged it in to charge it but it just kept shutting down and showing the apple logo, then briefly showing me my home screen before shutting off again. I waited a while to see if it would charge, while it continued to turn off and on by itself. Finally, I unplugged it to see if it had gotten any charge but it just told me to plug it in again. I plugged it into a different charger, same thing. I decided to try connecting it to a computer and it stopped turning on but it did not seem to charge. I tried restoring it as it said in the article. It worked until it got to restoring the iPad from the backup that I had because it immediately shutdown before I could continue. I tried to restore it a second time but still it shut down! I'm so frusturated and I cannot afford to get a new iPad, I need it for school and there is no Apple store for 80 miles nor do I have any insurance or warranty on it! (Obviously considering it's the first iPad to ever come out.) I really don't know what to do! HELP

    I have an ipad first generation.  I am trying to connect to a linksys router and the ipad is not finding the wireless network.  What do I need to do?  Thanks for your 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

  • JComboBox - Bottom border is not visible for the first time

    JComboBox - Bottom border is not visible for the first time i click on the arrow to drop the list down.
    This happens because the list when dropped down goes out of the frame.
    If have the increased the size of the Frame then i am able to see it,but i dont want to do this.
    I am using jdk1.3.1_02.
    Any Help would be great.

  • Drop down list(JComboBox) - Bottom border is not visible for the first time

    Did any one face this issue.

    I must be a little confused regarding your question.
    You can simply change your code frame.setSize(200, 200); to frame.setSize(400, 400);When you say you are unable to see the border are you specifically talking about the border of the frame or the border of the combo box?

  • ICloud Synchronization not working between iPad first gen 5.1.1 & iPhone 4S 6.0.1?

    iCloud Synchronization not working between iPad first gen 5.1.1 & iPhone 4S 6.0.1?

    I can see the acknowledgement that this issue will be fixed in the 'next' software update. Considering the original post was for an iPad 2 running 5.0.1, I am not sure if this issue on iOS 5.1 which runs on my new iPad (4G) is considered fixed. As I reported in my previous post it is impossible to update individual tracks. I also tried adding entire collection to a single playlist, shuffling the playlist. While shuffle is in progress, turning to the 'list' view that allows tracks to be rated does who the currently shuffled playlist and the currently playing track and assigns the rating to the track correctly. However, as soon as the second track plays, switching to list view (which displays the ratings) lists only the tracks from the currently playing track's album. Which is insane IMHO.
    So, was this not fixed with 5.1 update? Or the iOS 5.1 will get it's own piece of update on this?

  • Why does iMovie for iPad shorten the background song length after adding a photo?

    Why does iMovie for iPad shorten the background song length after adding a photo?
    I created a project a few months ago, and iMovie worked as it always had. I would create a project, add a background song, then add photos to fill up the song.
    When I created a project today, I added the background song (4m9s), then added a single photo, and the background song length was shortened to 6 seconds. I have never seen the app work this way. I know I can extend the photo to the length of the background song, but it used to be so much easier to add photos and sync them with the music as I desi
    I'm using iPad2 with iMovie v1.4.1.
    Thoughts?

    When I've added photos to a project they are added to a default time to appear. Honestly I've never looked at the time but 6 seconds sounds close. I'm guessing that since you added the photo after you add the music that its thinking you want the two to match in time length so it tunicates the music. Try adding the photo first then add the music. Good luck!
