Does my iPad 1st gen have a future?

after Ios 6 rolls out will my 1st gen iPad WiFi 3G keep working

I also agree with Illaass and Demo, the first generation iPad will continue to serve very well. Operating system updates take place all the time and computing equipment keeps providing good service. Just does not provide all the latest bells-and-whisltes. My iMac G5 (2005) served very well until it started having hardware problems this year and had to be replaced. But the OS was three generations out of date, and that really was noot too much of an issue except for the latest applications that I could not use.
As long as your iPad physically works, go ahead and enjoy it. If you absolutely must have the latest apps, then replace it.

HT4108 Why does an iPad (1st gen) and the Photos app using VGA adapter

Why does an iPad (1st gen) using iOS 5.1 and the Photos app not send a single photo to a projector while a slideshow is sent photo by photo?

I am not 100% sure, but i believe the iPad only does mirroring when connecting with AppleTV. AV cables will output audio and video out the bottom of the iPad (30-pin connector) to a TV/monitor, but the iPad screen itself will only show video controls (play/pause, FF, RW, Done, Progression bar). If your cables say otherwise I am interested to know what brand they are and where you got them. If you are not getting any video at all the cables are probably not Apple approved and dont have the special chip in the 30-pin connector that allows for video transition.

Does the iPad 3 gen, have a voice recorder?

Does the iPad 3rd gen with retina display, have a voice recorder?

Not as a built in app - no it does not. If you need a voice recorder, you will have to download an app from the App Store. An app like Quick Voice Recorder.

Why does my iPad 1st gen constantly kick me out of apps?

Why does my iPad close apps every minute or so while I'm using them? It's frustrating! Do I need to reset it to factory settings?

Double click the home button, hold down an app icon, and press the red X. Do that for all the apps. You have to clear that, or the device's RAM (temporary memory) gets too full, and starts kicking you out of things.

A friend gifted me a copy of The Amazing Spider-man, I redeemed the code, now it tells me I can't download it onto my Ipad (1st Gen) because it does not have a gyroscope. Is there a way for my friend to get his money back, or a way for me to download it?

As a second option I can play on my 1st gen Ipod Touch. Does that have a gyroscope?

Contact iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history or,
iTunes Customer Service Contact - http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact.html > Get iTunes support via Express Lane > iTunes > iTunes Store - Apple states all sales are final, but you can always ask nicely. Your friend should have checked the specifications of your ipad before making the gift.

No, because the security issue is not present in iOS 5 Safari. Only in iOS 6 and 7 versions.

IPhone 4s iOS 6.0.1 and iPad 1st gen. iOS 5.0. What do I need to do?

Wifi connection problem between iPhone 4s iOS 6.0.1 and iPad 1st gen. iOS 5.0. What do I need to do? I've reset the network on each and nothing. Please 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

How to get photos off iPad 1st gen

Anyone know a way I can get photos off an iPad 1st Gen? It is not recognized by iPhoto 9 that is currently running on Mavericks.
This should have been synced a long time ago but my wife never did and now has photos on it that she wants.... I know, I know....
Tried:
- Using Image Capture - does not see it
- When I launch iPhoto, it says "Loading" and never does anything.
- iTunes does see it but that doesn't help to get photos off of it.
- Saw a program that let's you transfer files off but it cost $30 and thought there might be a way to do ift for free.
Thanks, Jeff

The iOS version has nothing to do with importing photos.
Where are the photos located? iPhoto will only get photos that were saved to the iPad like saved from an email attachment. Those are in the Saved photos album
If the photos are in another album they were synced to the iPad. To get those you need a third-party program like PhoneView or TouchCopy

I am looking for latest iOS version for iPad 1st gen, i have an existing 3.xx.

Hi Demo,
Yes, I have not made myself clear, I apologise.
I have tried downloading apps from itunes in order to set up a game for my son, when I go to click on a link, be this in itunes, or on the web, Safari revolts back informing the address is invalid. I read by coping a link and pasting into the URL, this would do it, but not so.
My goal then, is to install Minecraft for my son, I would then download an app to allow this but I am unable to get this far due to Safari insulting the address I ask it to go to
The iPad is first generation
OS 5.1.1 Software up to date.
Thank you in advance for your time

Ipad 1st gen: Pinterest no longer working in Safari

I have an Ipad 1st Gen. I have been using Pinterest in Safari with no problems...until now. When I try to go to the website in Safari, it automatically redirects me to download the app. Is there a way to fix this?
I cannot download the app because my IOS is updated as far as it can go, and the Pinterest app requires an IOS higher than what I have.

Ii's not just 1st gen iPads. I have the same issue with my iPad 3. Whether I clickEd my bookmark or manually typed the Pinterest URL, I was immediate redirected to the app. I don't like the Pinterest app, so I deleted it. Now when I try to go to the website, I am redirected to the App Store. So frustrating!
ive complained to Pinterest via Twitter and left a one-star review in the App Store, but have not received a reply, nor have I been able to find a workaround. For now, I'm using Pinterest only on my desktop computer, but I really miss browsing Pinterest on my iPad.
if anyone figures out a workaround, please post!

Video Thumbnail images gone - iPad 1st gen, iOS5

After updgrading my iPad 1st gen to iOS5, all of my video thumbnail images are gone.
The iPad just displays a white box with a gray flat screen TV icon for every video file listed under Movies or TV Shows
This is most troublesome when I touch the TV Shows button and I get a page full of those white boxes with the TV icon - and, as has always been the case, there is no name for the TV show. So I'm lost in the white boxes trying to find LOST the TV show.
Any thoughts on how I get my thumbnails back?

If they are in your iTunes library on your computer why don't you try syncing again. Make sure that all of the shows are selected to sync along with the sync Movies heading and then sync again.
If they are only on the iPad it might be a good idea to transfer the purchases into the iTunes library. Connect the iPad to the computer, launch iTunes and right click on the device name and select Transfer Purchases.
If you have tried syncing, try restarting, resetting and quitting the videos app.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
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.
To quit the videos app - Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

IMovie on iPad 1st gen

Just wondered if anyone knows if iMovie will work with the 1st gen iPad?
The info on the Apple site shows the iPad 2 as one of the compatible devices but I can't for the life of me think why it would not be compatible whith the iPad 1st gen? Yes it doesn't have a camera but importing footage from and external video camera is pretty straight forward and lets be honest however the great the iPad 2 camera is it's not exactly practical!
Interested to hear people ideas.

I will be one of the (up to 15 million) Gen I iPad users that will be terribly upset if Apple doesn't support both iMovie and Garage Band on the original iPad w/vers 4.3.1.
Many video cameras record direct to QuickTime format(.MOV) and I have purchased the camera kit etc. just for moving files to edit on my iPad. ReelDirector works but its output resolution is limited (it's really designed for iPhone native resolution).
On another topic, the only reason I haven't purchased the Guitar accessory (Amplitude Rig) is because I can currently plug directly into my Macbook. With Garage Band on iPad, now the Guitar Rig for iPad looks more enticing.
I believe Mr. Jobs, in his iPad II keynote said "now the iPad 1 was no slouch when it came to processing power..." (before announcing the new chipset).
Please Apple, don't leave some of us 15 million iPad 1 supporters in the rain a mere 11 months after we bought our iPad 1!!
P.S. As I typed this, I just got an e-mail from Best-Buy that ALL iPad 1's were on sale for $100 off original price (until supplies last)
