HT5457 ios 6 will not be available to IPAD first generation?
Will ios 6 ever be available for IPAD first generation?
It's probably due to the RAM and processor limitations.
iPad: RAM - 256MB, Processor - 1 GHz Apple A4
iPad 2: RAM - 512MB, Processor - 1GHz dual-core Apple A5
iPad 3: RAM 1024MB, Processor - 1GHz dual-core Apple A5X

Will iOS 5 bog down my first generation iPad?
Will iOS 5 bog down my first generation iPad?
Since iOS5 has not been release, we don't know. Anyone who does know, is likely under NDA to not discuss it on these public forums. (We don't even know if iOS5 "will bog down" and iPad2 either. )
Best to wait until iOS5 is released, but don't install it immediately, and wait for what everyone else says. -

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

HT4436 Where do I find what iOS I have on my iPad first generation?
How do I transfer photos from my iPad first generation to my new iPad2? I cannot figure out if iCloud is available on the original iPad because I cannot figure out the iOS on the original iPad.

Trying to do an IOS upgrade on my IPAD 2. It was running then came up with an ITUNES icon and just sits there. How do I complete this upgrade and get my IPAD back??
It sounds like it's gone into recovery mode. How were you trying to update it, directly on it of via your computer's iTunes ? If directly on it then have you tried conencting it to your computer's iTunes ?

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 copy of the old Ipad from Itunes 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. -

I am on Holliday and started an iOS upgrade to my iPAD 2, yesterday. The security lock have never been enabled. After the upgrade via WiFi in the hotel, the iPAD asks for a 4 digit kode to access my iPAD! ?????? APPLE, what programming subroutine is forgotten during functional testing prior to release of the latest iOS upgrade???? - Now from a borrowed hotel guest computer I post my ”HELP NEEDED”. Please advice if there is a way to skip a security kode I never enabled (nor even tried out and diabled) – WITHOUT spending time to find a Apple store helpdesk that restore via iTunes, and delete all my local data.

SpannishFLYDuring the setup of iOS 7 which you went through after installation it asked if you wished to create a passcode. It is possible to skip setting up a passcode at this step but you must have created one.
If you can't remember the passcode and you have enabled "find my iPad" you can use http://www.icloud.com/ to remote erase your iPad, then you can set it up again, and restore it from an iCloud backup. -
i went to load the ios upgrade on my ipad this am... and it fried my ipad. wants me to restore Itunes, but it won't "build."

Seriously, if you desire help... try providing some details (preferably in English) as to what the problem is. -
Is there an update higher than 5.1.1 for first generation IPad ,if not why not?
You need to buy at least a second generation iPad. It doesn't need to be a brand new one.
