Can I update my iPad first generation to ios 6?

iOS 6-- can I update my iPad (first generation) with it? It appears I cannot, but I want to make sure.

No, unfortunately not the 1st gen iPads... The new iOS 6 will run on the iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, and iPhone 5; the iPad 2 and third-generation iPad; and the fourth- and fifth-generation iPod touch.
Hope this answers your question.

I have an Ipad first generation with IOS 5.1.1. and I have just got a new ipad mini. Should I use the back up of the old Ipad from Itunes copy to configure the new one, or it is better to configure the new one from scratch?

Contrary to the opinion above, I see no reason whatsoever why you can't set up the new iPad from the backup of the old one. Obviously you will have app updates to make and complete and that sort of thing, but if you want to retain all of your app data and device settings (some of which will change because of the updated iOS), I would certainly restore from the backup first.
If you find that to be problematic, you can always start all over again.

HT1515 How can I use Airport Express (1st generation) with OS X Mavricks?

How can I use Airport Express (1st Generation) with OS X Mavericks?

1st Generation AirPort Express will work fine with Mavericks.
Are you sure that you have a 1st Gen Express?
Check the model number on the side of the Express. 1st Gen is A1264.
If you see A1084 or A1088, these are much older versions of the Express that were sold long before Apple began to use the Generation naming with "n" wireless devices in 2007.
Mavericks will not support the A1084 or A1088. Use another Mac running Leopard, Snow Leopard, or a PC if you need to administer the older Express.

How CAN we reinstall the Scrabble free game with the new IOS 7.1.2 ? It is no longer working even if I cancel the actual version and reinstall it.

I Have iPad retina. With the new iOS 7.1.2 my Scrabble free game no longer works. What should I do ? I try to reinstall it but they download the version from my Icloud wich is not working.
SOmebody can help here ?

Unfortunately, if the iOS 7.1.2 has broken the app then it's up to the app developer to fix it.
You can look at the reviews. If the update has broken the app then the reviews will reflect that and you can at least know it's not just you.

HT4061 How can I upgrade my ipad?

how can upgrade ipad

You can't upgrade any of the hardware items (RAM, storage, etc) of your iPad.
I assume you want to update your iOS version.
If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1. 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 an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

Upgrading my Ipad first generation took so long

I try to upgrade my Ipad to IOS5 but its take so long time..I leave my Ipad for overnight, but progress failed, somebody can help me..Thanks

The only reason you use bluetooth between iPad/iPhone its to share the internet from iPhone to wifi only iPad.
In order to see the bluetooth connection, you must first enable the Personal Hotspot on the iPhone.
Then on the iPhone, open Setting s> Bluetooth.
Then open the Bluetooth on the iPad adn pair teh devices.

How can I sync my iPad calendar app with my iPhone calendar app?

I use my iPad calendar app a lot. How can I get the info on the iPad app to sync with my iPhone (it's the same calendar app). Thanks in advance for the help.

I guess there are a few ways to do this. I make my iMac the "home" for calendar and contact info. I make sure it is current and accurate. I sync my iPhone and my iPad2 to it frequently. If I enter new calendar data on the iPhone or iPad when I get home I sync them to the iMac to be sure it is current.
We use BusyCal at home so all our Mac's are automatically synced to one another and we sync our mobile devices to the computers. So I sync my iPhone and iPad to the iMac and all of them have the same information.
We do not use Mobile Me or another other web based service for calendar syncing since we feel that give us less control and more complexity.

Why can't I use iPad first gen with iMovie?

Why can't I use iMovie with the first gen iPad?

It does not have a camera.
iMovie iOS is made to edit video recorded on the device.
Some also suggest that the processor is not fast enough.
I doubt it, but those are the best suggestions I have heard.

Nforce420: How can I upgrade BIOS on a computer with NTFS and no flopp

I have a multimedia PC in my living room hooked up to my TV and I am planning to use it as a PVR, MP3 jukebox, DVD player and photo album.
I build this machine in a small aluminium case, with the minimum components. I chose the nForce as the platform for this machine to minimise the number of components (and noise/heat).
I'm running Windows XP with NTFS and there is no floppy drive in this system. Do you guys have an idea about how I can upgrade the bios from 2.0 to 2.4 (or 2.6?)?
Thanks in advance

Well, if you have any kind of internet connection on the computer, then MSI LiveUpdate is the way to go. I had the same problem after I didn't quite plug in my floppy right the other day -- the burning smell was exhilirating but my computer was fine. I have only NTFS partitions too and no floppy, but with an Internet connection it was easy to update the bios.
For some reason LiveUpdate wanted to tell me that the latest BIOS is 2.4, so if you navigate to C:\Program Files\Setup Files\MS6373v240 and replace the BIOS image files there with the 2.6 ones you downloaded, and run Winflash.exe, it will flash you to 2.6.
Alternately you could just download all that stuff on another computer and burn a CD with it. You could make that CD bootable or you could boot off a Win98 startup CD or something and put your CD in after the computer boots up...not really sure how well that would work.
Winflash has worked fine for me the three times I've used it (from 2.4 to 2.5, then back to 2.4, and now to 2.6).

How can i hook up ipad wi/fi with iphone?

I have a ipad MC705 c/a and I wish to use it in a place where internet is not available. Ideally, I should have bought the "sim card" cellular ipad but I didn't. I heard that if I get an i-phone, it can be used as a hot spot that I can connect my ipad to it? Please let me know if that is the case, how this can be done and which i-phone I should ideally get. Thanks, Nancy
