Can an iPad operating on ios5 be upgraded to iOS 6

If it is an iPad 2 or higher, yes. The 1st generation iPad can't be upgraded beyond 5.1.1

  • It is it safe to upgrade my ipad 2 w/ios5.1.1 to ios6 ?

    It is safe to update my ipad 2 w/ ios5.1.1 to ios6?

    I had no problems whatsoever. But be smart about updating and be proactive. Whether you update OTA via WiFi or use iTunes - take the steps necessary to ensure that you will have everything saved.
    What you should do anytime that you update the device is to transfer purchases from the iPad into iTunes - File>Transfer Purchases - and you should backup the iPad as well. When you update the update the device, if something goes wrong, you can restore from the backup.
    However, iTunes should ask if you want to backup before you update, but just in case create the backup yourself before you update. The backup contains your app data and settings - along with other items - so make sure you backup first.
    If you have any other important files, you may want to transfer them to your computer as well, prior to the update.
    Transfer purchases.

    Since you are limited to iOS 5.1.1 on an iPad 1, this may be of interest.

    how can i activate my iphone 3gs after upgrading to ios6? it could not activate....

    If your phone was previously hacked to unlock it, when you updated the hack was removed and it's re-locked to the original carrier.  The phone will now activate and operate only with that original carrier.

    Maybe you tried holding the app down in the search screen.  I didn't say clearly you have to go to the app eherever it is, but not in the search screen.

  • Can a iPad iso 5.1.1 upgrade to 6.0

    Can and I pad iso 5.1.1 upgrade to 6.0

    No. You probably have a first generation iPad, which can't be updated past 5.1.1; if you happen to have a newer one, it can only be updated directly to 8.1.3.

  • My ipad froze after a failed upgrade to IOS6.

    I was trying to upgrade my iPad 3 to IOS6 via iTunes, and it failed and has frozen my iPad.
    It has the iTunes screen with a USB cord, but my iTunes doesn't recognize it. I've tried restarting both iPad & the PC, but nothing seems to unfreeze the iPad.
    Any suggestions???
    Thanks,

  • HT201342 What about iPad 1 which is unable to upgrade to iOS6?

    How do you cage your @me to @iCloud on a iPad 1 which is not upgradable to iOS6?

    Your one is maxed out at 5.1.1. So, yeah, unfortunately your choices are to find apps that are compatible with 5.1.1 or if your apps require iOS6 then yeah, it's time for a new device.

  • I have an iPad 2 and want to upgrade to ios5 but have no pc what can I do?

    I have an iPad 2 and want to upgrade to ios5 but have no pc what can I do?

    You can't do it without a computer, although once you get ios5 that necessity will be gone. I would recommend taking it into the apple store. They will do it for you.

  • HT4623 My early iPad has ios5.  How can I upgrade to ios6

  • After upgrading my ipad 2 to iOS5 I can't access mail, contacts, calendars option

    Hi All,
    Newbie here so please go easy!
    My problem is that after upgrading my iPad 2 to iOS5 I can't access the mail, contacts, calendars option from general settings or even from the Mail program.  This is therefore preventing me from setting up anymore than one e-mail account.
    Do I need to do a system reset / restore?  If so how do I do a system reset in particular?
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi,
    Thanks for reply. Sorry for delay in responding, for some reason I wasn't able to respond using my iPad so am using my iPhone.
    The restrictions have not been enabled at all, so I assume that this should not really make a difference. I also have an iPhone 4 and have upgraded this to iOS5 but have no issues accessing the Mail, Contacts, Calendar option from general settings. This also does not have restrictions enabled therefore appears to have the same setup as my iPad but with no problems.
    Sorry once again for the delay in responding.
    Many thanks

  • How can i upgrade to IOS5.0?   I get a message saying my ipad is ineligible for the upgrade

    IOS5 downloads fine through itunes on my macbook and when I connect my ipad, it asks me if i want to upgrade.
    When I say yes, it backups up the ipad, extracts the software and then shows a message saying my ipad is ineligible for the upgrade.

    Hey Mighty Duck x,
    Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you need to authorize the computer. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
    Authorize your computer using iTunes
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Have a nice day,
