Is it possible to update an iPad 1st gen OS 5.1.1 to OS 6?
Could be easier than find allll the old apps I had and I now are upgraded to a more recient OS

If there were older versions of those apps that worked with iOS 5, you can try:
App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps
Or find alternative compatible apps:

Why can't I see reviews for app updates on iPad 3rd gen since iOS 7 update?

Why can't I see reviews for app updates on iPad 3rd gen since iOS 7 update?

AAfter an hour with Apple chat, I figured out what to do on my own. When the iPhone and iPad go to autolock, press home key and do not open- streaming will be on the screen and I turned it back on. No more stops.

Is it safe to update my iPad 1st gen to 4.3?

Hello all,
Thank you all for commenting on my other posts. After many of you chimed in on whether I should buy an iPad 1st gen refurb or buy an iPad 2 I bought the refurb. It's been a great purchase! My iPad came with iOS 4.2. With all the horror stories about updating iPads I have held off on updating to 4.3. I would love to get your feedback on whether it is okay or not to update to 4.3.
I don't trust Apple's recommendations lately. I updated my iPod touch 3rd gen based on Apple stating that the 3rd gen is supported in the new iOS. The new iOS killed my battery! I ended up buying another iPod. Several posts have confirmed this to be the case with many others who did the same update. So before I update my iPad I would like feedback about updating it.
Thanks!

I too have updated every iDevice that I own with every update that comes out very time an update comes out. I hope that makes sense to you. No problems whatsoever including battery issues on 3 iPod Touch 4G and my original iPad.
I do have some concerns that we have two Kings in Britain/Briton with a royal wedding coming up I think you guys would have other concerns!

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

Should I upgrade iPad (1st Gen) from iOS 4.2.1 to iOs 5.1.1?

I am using iPad (Wi-Fi only) from last 2 years mainly for web surfing and emails. iOS 5 is sure slick and tempting. Should I upgrade or not? I dont want iPad to get sluggish after update, in that way I am better off with iOS 4.2.1 running smoothly on it. Help pls.!

I dunno sabatoge.
It seems like it would be nice to have ipade 1st gen to get 6.0
But it would certainly help safari from crashing.     Still.
I wouldn't,t say that 5.1.1 is the LAST UPGRADE.          Apple might still do something.

IPad 1st gen with iOS 5 is worse than Vista - Downgrade?

I have a 1st generation 3G iPad. I updated to ios 5. iOS 5 has rendered my iPad nearly unusable. Honestly, this is upgrade is WORSE than Vista. Apple should be ashamed of releasing a major OS upgrade that renders a whole generation of machines unusable.
Yes, I have tried nearly everything. I have "restored" and I have rebooted numerous times.
The thing that is the most frustrating about this is that before the ios5 update my iPad was the highest quality computing experience I had ever had. Now it is the WORST computing experience I have ever had. Every single application crashes. Typing is dead slow. The iPad hangs. Videos will not play or will play audio only, or will crash on load.
Again, I have restored, and rebooted numerous times. APPLE should be ashamed of this!!!!

iCloud does this from time to time. It usually is a result of a corrupt contact or calendar entry. Killed the battery and performance on my 3GS, 4, 4S, iPad (first gen), and even my MacBook Pro until I found the corrupt contact and deleted it. No problems since.
Also, to the OP, just because a few people have problems, doesn't mean that it "renders a whole generation of machines unusable." I have 6 first gen iPads in my family and all are working fine... Try resetting, restoring from backup, and restoring as new. see what happens then...

Error in updating my ipad 3rd gen to IOS 6.0.1

i tried updating my ipad to IOS6.0.1 but after an hour or 2 a pop up mesaage says it encountered an error. was seems to be the problem with this?

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).

Help. I can't update iPod Touch 1st gen from ios 2.1.2 to 3.1.1; already paid for it.

Hi all,
I got an iPod Touch 1st gen for my youngest son for Christmas as a starter. It has the 2.1.2 ios on it, but after I paid for the upgrade to 3.1.1, I keep getting an error message (8288) saying there was a problem with the network connection. I have called customer service, and they suggested I try on a different computer, and if that didn't work, try connecting to a different network, and then trying the update. None of this has worked. It seems that tech support is clueless with this issue.
I have installed and unistalled iTunes 10.5, 10.3, 10.4, and now I am back with 10.5. I have tried looking up the issue from several search engines but no one seems to have a universal solution and I have tried several.
I really want to have this thing updated for himw hwne he opens it, but I am starting to worry that my purchase was a bust. I know this is the oldest version, but I don't want to buy a newer, more expensive iPod and him still not be mature enough to really take care of it. As I said, this one is a starter.
Can anyone help? Please?!
Thank you!!!
P.S. We have a PC, with Windows XP Home.

Yes, I have contacted them. They are who told me to try a few of the "fixes". They actually said they had never heard of this error, or any problems relating to his download. Also, when I was talking to them, they came here to this forum to find the answer...:/ This is why I am asking here. I was hoping someone had an idea I hadn't tried already.
Thanks.

How can i update my ipod 1st generation from IOS 4.2.1 to 5.0

how can i update my ipod from IOS 4.2.1 to 5.0

Update it from iTunes on a computer as described at the bottom of this article; there isn't a Software Update option in General on iOS versions prior to 5.0. It can only be updated directly to the newest iOS release supported by the device’s hardware.
The maximum iOS version for the first generation iPod touch and original iPhone is 3.1.3.
The maximum iOS version for the second generation iPod touch and the iPhone 3G is 4.2.1.
The maximum iOS version for the third generation iPod touch and original iPad is 5.1.1.
The maximum iOS version for the fourth generation iPod touch and iPhone 3GS is 6.1.6.
If you don't know what device you have, append the last three characters of its serial number to http://www.everymac.com/ultimate-mac-lookup/?search_keywords= and load the page.
