Will iOS 5 bog down my first generation iPad?

Will iOS 5 bog down my first generation iPad?

Since iOS5 has not been release, we don't know. Anyone who does know, is likely under NDA to not discuss it on these public forums. (We don't even know if iOS5 "will bog down" and iPad2 either. )
Best to wait until iOS5 is released, but don't install it immediately, and wait for what everyone else says.

I have the first generation iPad, how do I get the software update iOS 6?

I have the first generation iPad and I'm trying to download apps but my device keeps telling me to download the iOS software update 6. When I go to updates in my settings it's saying my device is up to date with iOS 5.1.1, but it's saying I need the iOS 6. How do I upgrade my device if it's not showing iOS update 6?

The first generation iPad cannot be updated past iOS 5.1.1
You may still be able to get compatible versions fo the Apps by downloading the App to iTunes on a computer or another device that does support the current App version using the same Apple Id you have on your iPad. With that done you can follow these instructions from your iPad to get a compatible version:
App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app

I have a first generation ipad that I gave to my father. He wants to download a few things and it says that he can't because he needs the new ios update. When I try to download it it says that I can't. Is the older version IPADS unable to update?

I have a first generation IPad and it won't let me download unless I update to the new ios system. When I go to do that it won't let me do that either. What advise can you offer? Thanks

Maybe a little more info would be helpful. How are you trying to update the iPad? What model iPad it is and what version of the iOS is on it now?

Every app I try to download says I need iOS 6 or higher I have the first generation iPad what can I do?

I have a first generation iPad every app I try to download says I need iOS 6.0 or higher to use it is there anything I can do?

Some apps will let you run on a lower version of iOS. Here's how to find out if the ones you want will run on your iPad.
1. Open iTunes on your computer and go to the App Store
2. Download the apps you want to your iTunes account in iTunes
3. On your iPad, tap the App Store
4. Tap the purchased tab
5. The apps you downloaded to your iTunes account on your computer will be listed with a cloud icon next to them.
6. Tap the cloud and if the app will run on a lower version of iOS, it will give you the option to download a version that will run on your iPad. If the app doesn't give you the option, there's nothing you can do.

See the chart below to determine whether you can upgrade your device and what you can upgrade to. If you do not have a Software Update option present on your iDevice, then you are trying to upgrade to iOS 5 or higher. You will have to connect your device to your computer and open iTunes in order to upgrade.

Can the first generation iPad handle iOS 5

I know with Mac computers after awhile the models cannot support the newest OS. Is this the same with iPads yet and if so can the first generation iPad handle iOS 5?

as an owner of a first gen iPad running iOS 5.1, I can tell you with absolute certainty, that the first gen iPad is completely capable of running iOS 5. I have been running iOS 5 since the day it was released with no problems.

First Generation ipad stuck on ios 5.1.1. I am not able to update to a newer version because it believes the Ipad is at its most update version.

Hello all,
My mother in law has recently acquired a new ipad and has given me her first generation ipad. Very excited! I have run into an issue though... The ipad is unable to update to the newest version of ios and is stuck on ios 5.1.1. Whether I plug the ipad in or try to update via wifi, it prompts me that it is running on the most up to date version.
Has anyone seen this problem before? Can anyone help me fix the issue?
Thanks,
Luke

How do I download IOS5 onto a first generation ipad? Software Update does not appear under General in Settings on the 1st generation.

How do I download IOS5 onto a first generation ipad? Software Update does not appear under General in Settings on the first generation ipad.

The Settings > General > Software Update option only appears when you have iOS 5+ installed, if you have iOS 4 then you will need to do the update via your computer's iTunes.
Connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > 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 by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.
Then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button

How do i download ios5 to first generation ipad

I have a first generation ipad and it doesn not have anywhere that I can find to upload 10s5. When I go to Itunes all I get is something in French when I search. How can I upgrade to ios5?????

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1.3. 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).
Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.
