    How do I download IOS5 onto a first generation ipad?  Software Update does not appear under General in Settings on the first generation ipad.

    The Settings > General > Software Update option only appears when you have iOS 5+ installed, if you have iOS 4 then you will need to do the update via your computer's iTunes.
    Connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Transfer Purchases. You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.
    Then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button

  • HT5457 How do I update my 1st generation IPAD to IOS 5.1 and I do not have a software update feature on it.

    I have a 1st generation IPAD and it is currently running IOS 4.3.  I would like to update it to IOS 5.1 but am having difficulty doing it.  I have followed the update software instructions in ITUNES but my IPAD will not display the update software feature under General in Setttings.  What do I need to do?

    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).

  • How do you get apps for the 1st generation iPod touch

    How do I get apps for the 1st generation iPod touch?

    By updating the iOS on the iPOd.  The 1G can go as high as 3.1.3.  That works with a lot of apps.  But some apps require a higher iOS and/or newer iPod.

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
    Did you fail to back up your pics?
    The photo sync is one way - comptuer to ipod.
    You can e-mail them to yourself (instructions in the manual), but they will not be of the original quality.

  • How do i download 15 photo folders to my ipad. it only lets me download one. if i try download another folder, it deletes the previous folder.

    how do i download 15 photo folders to my ipad. it only lets me download one. if i try download another folder, it deletes the previous folder.

    You need to select and sync them in one go. Photos that you sync from your computer can't be deleted directly in the Photos app, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync - so you've effectively been telling iTunes to replace the folder that you've just synced with a new folder

  • How I can download my iTunes playlist onto my IPad mini

    Hi all,
    Does anybody know how I can download my iTunes playlist onto my IPad mini so that I can play it without being connected to WiFi? At the moment if I am not in a WiFi zone I can't play my music...
    Thanks!

    Apple devices can hold protected content from up to five different accounts, however updating apps purchased over more than one account (as far as I'm aware) requires signing in and out of each account. You may be better off continuing to use one account for your family, as I do, but disabling the options on each device for the automatic download of purchases made on the account, and in iTunes, the automatic inclusion of new apps when syncing from the library to the device.

  • How do I update the operating software to current version. I have 1st generation ipad

    Hi - how do I update to current operating system. I have 1st generation iPad.
    Thanks

    What  version of iOS do you currently have on it : Settings > General > About > Version ? The first gen iPad only supports up to iOS 5.1.1, you can't install iOS 6 or 7 on it.
    If it's on iOS 5+ but not 5.1.1 then you should be able to update to 5.1.1 directly on it via Settings > General > Software Update. If it's on iOS 4 then you can only update via your computer's iTunes. But before you do an update take a backup.
    To update via a computer, connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPad via File > Devices > Back Up.
    Then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand sidebar, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button

  • How do I download a excel spreadsheet from my iPad back to my Mac Pro laptop

    how do I download an excel spreadsheet from my iPad back to Mac Pro. the tech at the store showed my how to upload but not down load.

    It kind of depends on how it is setup to sync. You can try to reverse his steps.
    If you have icloud and use numbers - it will be done by icloud and you don't need to do anything
    If he used file sharing in itunes, you need to drag that document backwards.
    You can also email it.
    And perhaps there are other ways as well.

  • How is iOS 8.3 on the 1st gen iPad Mini?

    First off, I almost never update my iOS because I'm always terrified it will make my devices sluggish. And since I can't afford to get the latest and greatest Apple upgrade whenever they release a new one it too adds to my anxiety of upgrading iOS software on my older devices.
    I really couldn't find anything about how performance is on the 1st generation iPad Mini. So I'll give you my specs and preferably if someone has experience with at least the same generation and gb then let me know how the upgrade worked out for you. Especially as far as sluggishness goes. Switching apps, etc. Most likely I'll be directly upgrading to iOS 8.3 since I'm still on iOS 7.1.2.

    I also own a 1st generation iPad Mini and i'll admit iOS 8 doesn't feel as "snappy" as it did with iOS 7. That being said I think it works fine with 8.3 and there has been some major improvements since the first version of iOS 8.
