How can I install iOS 6 on an iPad 1

How can I install iOS 6 on an iPad 1. It is currently running iOS 5 and when I follow the directions at Apple for updating ( connect to computer, open iTunes, on summary page click software update) it just says iOS 5 is updated to current version. Does anybody know if an Pad 1 will run iOS 6? And if it will, what do I need to do. Thanks

You can't.
The iPad 1 can only run iOS 5.1.1.

How can i install ios in my ipad?

I have an ipod first generation i need ios,how can i update it????

Depending on how old it is will be the version of iOS you can update to.
You'll probably need to connect it to iTunes and update through there.

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.0.1. For the iPad Mini the iOS is 6.0.2. 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.

How can I install iOS 7 on my iPod touch 4th gen?

How can I install iOS 7 on my iPod touch 4th gen?

You can't
. As Apple said in June, iOS 7 is not compatible with the 4G iPod.
All the iOS devices compatible (iPhone 4 and later, iPad 2 and later, and 5G iPod touch) with iOS 7 have at least 512 MB of memory (RAM). The 4G iPod only has 256 MB

Hi, sagar1294426.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you are connected to Wi-Fi, have enough available space on the device and a current backup, I would try the steps in the article below. Also, you can always update via iTunes on your computer.

You can't. Microsoft's Silverlight is not supported. But check the app store, there are some alternatives. See this discussion:

How can i install ios 8 downloaded from another source through flash drive?

how can i install ios 8 downloaded from another source through flash drive?

You can not download from a flash drive. You can do over the air, or you can connect your iPhone to your computer and download iOS 8.1 via iTunes.

Can't install iOS 8 on iPad with sufficient storage

Can't install iOS 8 on my iPad 3, while there is 6,1 GB of free space available.
iTunes says I have the latest version installed (while it's developer iOS 8 beta 3).
What can I do??
Suggestion for Apple: the iOS installer could temporary remove installed apps to clear space and restore the apps when the installation is complete.

These are user-to-user forums, you're not talking to Apple. To leave feedback : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html
How much space is it saying that you require - I thought that on mine it said 6.7, but I wasn't paying that much attention. You could try deleting something else e.g. if you have any films or TV shows downloaded then you could copy them over to your computer's iTunes library and delete them from your iPad.
But if you have iOS 8 beta installed then you should be posting in the developer forums : https://devforums.apple.com/index.jspa

How can you delete iOS 8 from iPad, it is using too much memory

how can i delete ios8 from my iPad? since i downloaded it my iPad is slow, pages sometimes get caught in endless loop, and is taking up all of my storage

If you haven't installed it yet, settings, general, usage, populate the whole list and you should be able to remove the installer. (last I read you could delete it, with iOS7 the installer was not able to be deleted)
If you've already installed it, Apple does not support downgrading. If you'd like to go into specific issues, maybe people here can suggest some fixes or work arounds.
