How do you update 1st generation ipad from iOS 4 to iOS 5

If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.

  • How do you update 1st generation ipad

    i have the first ipad that came out, and its never been updated.So now i cant purchace any new games cause it says i have to have ios 4 or later. if looked in apple support but it says i can update by going to settings and go to general and it should have a button saying check for updates. but mine dont have that. CAN ANYBODY HELP ME UNDERSTAND HOW TO UPDATE IT THROUGH ITUNES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE!!!!

    You can go to File > About iTunes (assuming you have iTunes for Windows) to see what version you have. You need iTunes 10.5 or later. If you have that, then you should be able to follow the link in my earlier post with no problem. If you have an earlier version, the latest can be downloaded at http://apple.com/itunes/download/

  • HT1766 Recently backedup 1st generation IPad from iOS 4.2.1 to iOS 5.1.1; contact gone.  How do I restore contacts?

    Recently backed-up 1st generation IPad from iOS 4.2.1 to iOS 5.1.1; contacts now gone.  How to restore them?

    Thanks - the backup to iCloud had not been turned on but fortunately it was backed up to iTunes and we restored from there.

  • HT4623 Now that iOS is consistently being updated.  Will the 1st Generation IPad be stuck with IOS 5?  Eventually my IPad will be good for nothing as Apps start requiring the updated software.

    The iPad 1 can only be updated to iOS 5.1.1. This is unlikely to change.
    The apps you have will continue to work and there are still many apps which run on iOS 5 (or even earlier iOS levels).

  • HT4623 Can I update my 1st generation iPad with the new iOS software update?

    I have the first generation iPad, and It seems I am no longer able to update iOS.  My applications seem to quit suddenly and my iPad seems to almost be un-usable.  Safari seems to be the application that hardly ever works.  Is there a solution? 

    You can't update your iPad past iOS 5.1.1
    Many iPad 1 owners reported slow downs with iOS 5.
    Under the Settings app, General category under About, how much storage capacity does your iPad have left?
    You could try a hard restart or reset by holding down the sleep/on-off button and home button simultaneously.
    Once the screen goes black, wait about two seconds, then let both buttons go.
    See if this changes anything.
    Good Luck!

  • How do you update your original iPad ios

    Hi,  I have the original iPad.  For the life of me , i I can't update the iOS.  I was told i can download the  update. But I am unable to do it.  Please help.

    What version is on there now? If you have iOS 5.1.1, that's the last version an iPad 1 can run. If you have iOS 4.x or earlier, see the section titled "Update your device using iTunes" in this support article:

  • How do you prevent pages on iPad from skipping lines in a letter format?

    I have copied my own data into a letter template. Whenever I try to add the recipients address, pages will skip a line between the street address and the city and state. This creates an out of place space like so:
    12345 fake street
    Baltimore MD
    When I press back space I get some thing that looks like this:
    12345 fake street Baltimore MD
    How can you get the city and state on the next line?
    Thanks!

    Your seeing the consequence of a tightened "security sand box". It is hard-wired in each installed Adobe Reader/Acrobat that is updated.

  • How do you send iMessage to iPad from iphone, I cannot type "@" in message

    I have my ipad updated and set it to use my email for the imessage in my iPad
    then, I realized that I cannot type "@" in the imessage in iPhone (therefore, cannot type mail address)
    how to do send an imessage from iPhone to iPad?
    thanks for the help

    I am having the same problem. The email addresses for my contacts do not appear on the iPhone, they do appear on the iPad. So if I want to imessage my wife from my iPhone I only get the option to send to her email address, if I do it from my iPad I get her email.
    The only way that I have found so far is to go into my Contacts and at the very bottom select Send Message, then I can select her email.
    For some reason the @ is missing since when I select the 123 button it gives me the dial keyboard instead of the special characters keyboard.

  • How do you update to Yosemite final from developer preview GM 3?

    I am still on developer preview GM 3 I believe, cause I am not getting any update for 10.10.1 from the app store, and my About this Mac shows 10.90. I downloaded the final version in app store, but it's not letting me install it and it says "This copy of the “Install OS X” application is too old to be opened on this version of OS X."
    Any help would be appreciate it. I want to be on the latest yosemite update.
    Thanks.

    I found  solution. on developer preview, i had to run a program MATLAB so i followed a youtube tutorial and had to change serviceversion.plist. Thus it had a version 10.90 but it should be 10.10. I changed it back to 10.10 and its installing now. i totally forgot about this, and i thought 10.90 meant beta version!
    hope it maybe helps others who had to run MATLAB on yosemite beta..
