Cannot install new apps on ipad 1

There seems to be a programmed obsolescence going on here. The ipad is no longer good enough for new apps or even for the updating of old apps. Some apps like Linkedin just simply won't work with ipad anymore. Why do Apple think we will get another ipad after making this one non functional? Surely, the most logical thing would be try another kind o tablet and see if it lasts longer than an ipad. No, to programmed obsolence. We want durable machines please.

When you figure out how to avoid planned obsolescence, you let us know. Every single electronic product on the market gets upgraded. Buy a didgital camera and within months it's outdated. Buy a flat screen TV and within months it's outdated. How many cell phones from 4 years ago can keep up with one from today? Even your car has a one year cycle.
Your iPad is now 4 generations old. It simply can not handle iOS7. So you really shouldn't be surprised by this.
But, there is an option you can try to see if some of the apps have backward compatibility:
On your computer open iTunes. Download the apps you want to use on your iPad
On your iPad, open the App Store
Tap the purchased tab
The apps you downloaded to iTunes should be there with a cloud next to them
Tap the cloud and if there is a backward compatible option for your device, you'll tap that option
If there isn't one, the App developer (not Apple as most Apple apps do have backward compatiblity via this method) chose not to offer one.

Cannot install new apps to iPad

Hi,
My iTunes doesn't install new apps and few installed apps doesn't show on iPad. "Automatic Install new apps" and "Install" options are grayed out. There is no page 3 on my iPad but my iTunes shows. Please see the attached image and please help!

Both my macbook and windows laptop were authorized to the iPad and it was working fine. But now I get same problem on both the computers. Below are the steps i've already tried:
1. Did all updates.
2. De-authorized all computers and authorized only macbook.
2. Reset iPad through itunes (summary page).
3. Reset using iPad option. General ->Settings -> Reset -> Reset all settings and Reset home screen layout.
4. Reset by holding power & home button.
Even after doing all these reset the issue is same as mentioned above. Any idea?

After upgrading iphone 5 to iOS 7, I cannot install new apps

After upgrading iphone 5 to iOS 7, I cannot install new apps. I get the message that I must first read and agree to iTunes terms and conditions. I read the terms and conditions online, but I don't see a way to agree when I install or re-install iTunes 11.1. I can update existing apps ok, though.
Anyone have this problem and find solution?

Cannot install new apps or updates

I keep getting "your apple id has been disabled" message every time I try to do upates or install new apps. My apple id is working because I can sign into itunes with no problem. Can somebody help me please?

Try here:
Why do I see the message "This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons” when I enter my password?
This message means that someone was unable to sign in to this account multiple times. The Apple ID system will disable the account to prevent unauthorized people from gaining access to your information. You'll need to follow the instructions on My Apple ID to reset your password.

Cannot update or install new apps on iPad 2 after IOS 6 update - Help?

After the IOS 6 install, 15 of my apps were tagged for updates. When I tap on Update All, or on Update for an individual app nothing happens. When I tap on Install for a new app, it turns back to Free.
I've tried the suggestions listed below that I've seen in the various discussions, and none have resolved my problem:
Re-booting.
Signing out/in of my Apple ID.
Setting date a year ahead.
Updating the apps on my PC and syncing.
Wi-Fi is working as are the installed apps themselves, including getting content refreshed, e.g., NYTimes app. Any further help much appreciated. I suspect it may take hours to get through to Apple Support.

Chris,
If you're still having this problem - as I am, please call Apple Support so they can log it in. I spent a lot of time with one of their senior people troubleshooting and at this point the only resolution they can come up with is to do a clean wipe of everything and a new re-install, which is a big undertaking if you have a lot of apps and customizations.
If Apple has enough calls to prove this is not an incidental problem for only a small % users, they can escalate the problem to engineering for possibly an easier fix.

4 mos ago I dropped my Ipad and broke the glass. Needless to say, I bought a new one from Apple. Sync all my old apps successfully. For some reason, I just noticed recently that I dont have an app store icon in my ipad to download new games or order new apps online (like I used to have in my old Ipad). I did syc it to my itunes. downloaded the game that I want to install (conneted to my macbook pro). My itunes indicates that it was installed (icon of the new game showing on the page where I want it however if I check the ipad, its not there. My itunes tells me that they have been synced.
Please help if anybody has the same issue.. I dont know how to trouble shoot this.
Thanks!

Cannot install new Apps

When I try to download an App the icon turns to green and says "INSTALL APP", but then you cannot select it. If you press it nothing happens.

Quit the App Store app and reboot your iPad.
Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button twice to return to the home screen.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

I didn't get what you meant. I think you want to transfer phone memory files to memory card.
You can simply connect your phone via PC suite. Then you'll be able to do this task.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, reboot the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
Sometimes resetting all settings can help as well. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings. If you do that - you will have to enter all of you app and device preferences again.

HOW COME I CANNOT INSTALL AN APP ON MY IPAD

how come I
cannot install an app on my ipad

Some apps require an iOS of 5.1.1 or higher.
If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.0.1. 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 to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

I have purchased apps in the past and now every time I download a new app my IPad notifies me that they cannot be purchased at the time. For example, tap tap revenge and 11 others cannot be purchased at the time. How can I get rid of it?

Ok...... Do you have a question for us? Perhaps you could start by explaining what's happening when you try to download apps. What error messages are you getting? What troubleshooting steps have you already tried?
Please note that the original iPad can't be updated beyond iOS 5.1.1. Apps that require a later version of iOS won't work on your device.
Best of luck.
