Does dual-core iPad 2 mean the next update will make iPad 1 too slow?

Having rendered my old iPhone 3G useless by updating it to iOS4, I'm really wondering if one of the next few updates to iOS will render my iPad 1 too slow to use.
One of the most appealing things about the iPad is how quick and snappy it is to respond. If that slows down it will ruin the user experience.
Spending $499 on a new iPad every April is also not sustainable -- and will not happen.
I encourage Apple to make dam sure the iPad is not obsolete in the wake of two A5 processors on iPad 2.

"There is more RAM and developers will take advantage of that, but that will just make their apps run faster on the iPad 2, but not any slower on ours."
That will make existing apps run faster on iPad 2. But those apps get updated, become more complex to take advantage of the extra ram and cpu, and then you have an updated app that runs about half as fast as it used to before you just upgraded it.
I know, you can't stop progress. But geez, I finally bought a case for this one in December!
Also, FWIW, the iPhone 4 has 512MB ram whereas iPad1 has only 256. I'm betting in two months if you don't have 512MBs RAM on whatever device you're using, it's gonna be slower than you were used to.
I guess it makes sense... At this point speed is becoming irrelevant on PCs. They're all fast enough. So the speed race moves to the mobile market to keep us buying every year. My 1.6GHz Core2Duo Dell laptop is plenty fast and it's about 5 years old. Same with the 2Ghz Core2Duo iMac. Now, the dual-core G5 I'm typing this on is having major speed issues -- for the same reason I'm discussing the iPad. When my G5 came out we were on Adobe CS2. Now it's CS5, and I'm only on CS4 -- but it's designed for the latest greatest hardware. My computer's not any slower, but my Photoshop sure as heck is. And same with everything else that's been updated over the last 5 years. And I can't even run the latest Safari. Dam IT dept! Give me a new Mac!

When do we get 2.0.3 or whatever the next update will be?

When do we get 2.0.3 or whatever the next update will be?

whatever its called, the next update should be in September. according to the iPhone10 bugs blog the apps crash and security hole seem to be the two main bugs that will force this release sooner rather than later. September was mentioned by Apple,btw.

Does any 1 know when the new update will come out 5.0.2

DOES ANY 1 KNOW WHEN THE NEW UPDATE WILL COME OUT FOR THE IPHONE 4S
SO FIX THE BATTERY ISSUE -_-!!!!

Not that I know of.
If you want you could always go to apple.com/feedback and tell them to come out with it sooner.

Approximately when will the next update come out?

I wonder if the next update will have more clock faces.

No one here knows the answer to either of those questions. They don't even know IF there will be an update.

The next update from apple

Is there anywhere to look and see when the next one is going to be? Do they come on any type of regular basis?
Thanks, Kelly

There is no place to check when the next update will be forthcoming.
You can also check to see if one has been released by depressing the 'check for update' button on the Info page of iTunes.
It will tell you if you are up-to-date with the updates.
Do not confuse the wording in the description under the subject Version. The date in the description is merely the next time that iTunes will automatically check for an update. You can check manually for an update whenever you desire.

I keep getting this error message: ITunes was unable to load data class information from Synch Services. Reconnect or try again later. What does that mean? Can I fix it? or do I have to wait for the next update?

There is none. You are at the end for a PPC machine. To upgrade you need to purchase an Intel Mac.
Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You must purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
           terms apply.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
     Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.

HT4623 When is the next update in the iPad 2

I Want to know the next update for the iPad 2 I have iOS 6.1.3. Please help me comment back thanks

"Information available" means primarily to developers.
There is public information available now:
http://www.apple.com/ios/ios7/
As Niel and Skydiver119 stated above, Apple announced iOS 7 will be publicly available this fall.

I have a question can you please add so the iphone also have 5 icon dock like the iPad have it would make my day easy as h..:) maby in the next update? What do you think?

HT4623 I do not have the software update on my IPad? It does not appear anywhere on my settings. Now what please?

I do not have a software update located in general settings. How can Iget it back, or how can iI upgrade to ios5 or 6

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 was downloading the latest update for my ipad and now my ipad has the itunes icon and chord on the front but won't turn on or be found in my itunes or computer?

I was attempting to download the latest update to my ipad which was to take 2 hours so i left it alone, when I came back my ipad would not turn on, now it has the itunes icon and a plug on the front, what does this mean? And now it can't be recognized on my computer at all?
I did a restore but nothing has happened. How do I get it to come back on?

You'll have to restore your iPad. With your iPad still connected to your computer, press and hold BOTH the power and home buttons at the SAME time and your iPad will restore.

I downloaded the latest update for my ipad and now it won't open. the screen shows the itunes icon and a pic of the usb cable

That message means that you have to restore the iOS software because something went wrong. Follow the instructions here. I hope that you have a backup.

What I'd like to see in the next update...

Long time PC user. Bought a Mac last Xmas to make use of some great easy-to-use programs that aren't available through PC so me and my wife can use (ie GarageBand)
We were looking to make our website and found out ilife '06 had iweb. Read about all the great things and WYSIWYG format. Rushed out and purchased one. Started playing around only to realize its real limitations in modifications to templates and such.
What I've been trying to do is simply expand my page a little so that I don't get a solid fill color on either side once I publish my page. I'm able to stretch the background, but the header remains. I've read the posts where others have edited the actual templates file, but I'm hesitant. Sounds like it'll take some time and I'm not entirely comfortable in doing that.
My biggest question is why iWeb doesn't allow customization of the templates. I'm not talking about a full overhaul, just some modifications on size and shape, etc. So my main point is that I would like some more flexibility to customize the existing (and any upcoming) templates. Perhaps the next update (or some update down the road) will incorporate that? From what I've read, it would be useful for many other users as well.
Mac Mini 1.5 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Welcome to the discussions, Kungpow.
My answer to why it doesn't allow customization to templates is probably related to why Vista still isn't shipping. It was probably a hard decision to make to lock down the templates so much, but given a schedule that had to be met in order to ship in time for MacWorld, it had to be cut. It's not that it CAN'T be done (as other users have shown) but probably more that the easy to use and understand GUI for it wasn't going to be completed in time.
Maybe the GUI belongs in the inspector, maybe it belongs floating over the document window like the Adjust and Star editing tools, maybe it should be under Text, but what if you want to use a Graphic instead? Then putting it under Text wouldn't make sense. Oh, what if a user wants to use a shape for a menu button? Instead of being locked to the top, or side how about allowing a rollover button to be anywhere on a page? Would these elsewhere-on-the-page buttons be created the same as the menu ones so that the menu now becomes a specialized version of an "elsewhere" button?
And those are just questions I can think of off the top of my head that could affect how to implement the feature!

I'm running Windows 7 and iTunes and the other Apple programs wouldn't automatically update. Went through all the options and finally had to delete all Apple files and re-download iTunes. Worked fine, until the next update. Is there a glitch in the system

I'm running Windows 7 and iTunes (and the other Apple programs) wouldn't automatically update. Went through all the options and finally had to delete all Apple files and re-download iTunes. Worked fine, until the next update. Is there a glitch in the system? Does someone know of some proprietory block (I think it is related to Quicktime)? Also, once I re-downloaded everything, cleaned everything up, and deleted duplicate files, I closed down my computer. When I re-started it, iTunes was "brand new" -- all of my music, organization, tagging, etc. was gone and had to start over. Idea?

Ok, so after like 4 days of going through all these different issues, I figured out that several programs weren't downloading, and it was an issue with my wireless connectivity messing up the digital signatures, so if you plug in your comp to the modem and delete your temp files, it should start to work!

I have an ipad with the ios7 update, but I forgot my restrictions passcode. And i can't restore because my "find my ipod" is on. But i also can't do anything because i don't have an icloud for this device. What can i do?!!

I have an ipad with the ios7 update, but I forgot my restrictions passcode.And when I go and click restore I can't restore because the "findmyiphone" is on and I can't do anything about it since i can't get in my ipad. I can't do anything on icloud.com either because I did not put my device on there. What can I do??

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
