How come I can't update my iPad 1 to the new iOS 6 it says my iOS version 5.1.1 is the latest version?

The iPad 1, coming up on three years since it was introduced, has been given two major and a number of minor upgrades to iOS, more than many tablet manufactures provide. The iPad 1's hardware just can't effectively support many of the features in iOS 6. So I don't think that it's particularly unfair for Apple to no longer provide updates. And yes, I do own and manage a number of iPad 1s.
Regards.

I may be completely wrong, but I think you may need iTunes 10 to update to 6.0 or 6.0.1. I'm also not completely sure what firmware the built-in update feature was implemented, so if all else fails, check the General tab in Settings to see if you can update from the iPhone itself.

1) Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Click on Edit. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
2) Now connect your iPad to your laptop and start iTunes.
3) When iTunes starts, right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select Transfer purchases etc.
4) After it finishes transferring all your apps to your new laptop, right click on your iPad and select Backup your iPad.
5) After it finishes backing up your iPad, right click on your iPad and select Restore etc.
6) After it finishes restoring, left click on your iPad , then click on the Apps tab on top, and check the box next to Sync Apps, then click on Apply below.
If everything on your iPad looks good after the sync, go back and click on Edit / Preferences / Devices and UN-check the box next to Prevent your iPod etc. The only other thing you may want to check is if your contacts, bookmarks, etc. are syncing correctly now. If not, go to the Info tab after connecting and make sure you indicate which features you want to sync with what sources.
That should do it.

I can't update my iPad to iOS7 . It keeps saying My updates are complete at iOS5 .1 . HELP!! I want to download iBooks and other apps that need the newer iOS7 .

The original iPad can't be updated past 5.1.1; you may be able to get compatible application versions by downloading them to a computer and then going to the Purchased screen on the device.

How can I update my IPAD with my new apple address so I can update my apps.

my daughter went to prision, so I have her old IPAD which I bought her. She can't remember her passcode so I can't update the apps on it. I created a new apple ID for her, but how do I get it on the IPAD??

You can tap on the id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6) and then log in with the new account.
But any content that was purchased/downloaded via the old account will remain tied to that old account, and only that old account can download updates to its apps. You can try resetting the password for the old account by going to http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'

HT4623 how come I can't update my ipad2(ios5.0)

can you help me update my ipad2 to an ios5

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1.3. 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 come I can't see my ipad with time capsule?

When on my macbook pro and having the time capsule, i don't have visibility to my ipad on my mac? Why?!?!

What visibility are you wanting??
If the ipad has internet via the TC, then it should be able to backup to itunes in the computer.. otherwise the computer will not really see the ipad at all.. it is not a network share.
The file structure of the ipad is deliberately hidden.. and therefore it does not see files on a TC or computer.
You can load a filebrowser app into the ipad.. but that will still not enable the computer to see the ipad.. it is still not a network resource.. AFAIK.. I don't have ipad.. so check what you are trying to do with the more like this on the right.. or in the ipad section.

TS1702 How come I can't update and loading the app and iTunes in my iPad?

Would anyone can help me to resolve that problems? Thanks!

Julvia, if you forgot your restrictions passcode there is nothing to do but restore from new. Apple has pretty good security on these iDevices and besides just spending a long time trying to enter codes until you guess correctly there is nothing you can do. Restoring from new means it will totally reset your device and you will have to reinstall all your Apps.
While this can be frustrating it is so that someone can't take your device and then access your information. In the future I would advice using an app like Keeper that you just have to remember one password to access and then it stores all your other passwords for you.
I would address the first issue of not being able to download apps but since you are having to restore your device to new this may fix the issue. If you are still having problems after you restore post in here and I'll see what i can do.

How come I can't update my iPhone to iOS 5.1.1 9B208 instead of iOS 6?

Hello,
My iPhone recently bricked for some reason (I'm not sure why, it just hangs on the Apple logo when starting up), and I don't want to update it to iOS 6. I know for a fact my iPhone is GSM model, and I found the 5.1.1 OFW using Google, both just a "5.1.1" ipsw and a "5.1.1 9B208" ipsw. When I try to restore my phone with either of these ipsws by alt-clicking "restore," I get the error "The iPhone 'iPhone' could not be restored. This device isn't eligible for the requested build."
This is a different message than I get when I try to restore with an ipsw meant for an iPhone 4s, or other phone.
Is there a reason I cannot restore from this ipsw? And if there is, where can I find and ipsw for 5.1.1 that I can restore with?

Apple has stopped signing iOS 5. You will need to update to iOS 6.

HT4972 how come i can not use iOS 6 on my ipad 3 to get the youtube or pinerest app? it keeps giving me a message to use iOS5

How come i can not use iOS 6 on my ipad 3 to get the youtube and pinerest app? i keep getting a message to update to iOS5 if i must use iOS5 how do i update to that one because it just took me 4 hours to figure out how to update to iOS6

We have read that any apps that use the google map app (removed by ios6) will not work. We have lost a great camping app for this reason, and have heard that some weather apps are not working either. The company line we've been given is it's up to the app developer to rewrite their apps. ***** doesn't it.
