How I upgrade iPad 1software to iOS 6.0

I can not down load Facebook linkeden all ask for iOS 6

You can't update a first gen iPad to iOS 6 or 7, if it's on iOS 5.1.1 then it's on the highest version that it supports.
Some developers allow you to download previous compatible versions of their apps. You could try downloading the current version of the Facebook app on your computer's iTunes so that the app is in your purchase history, and then on your iPad go to the Purchased tab in the App Store app and see if you can download an older compatible version of it

How to upgrade Ipad 1 to iOS 5.1.1

When trying to upgrade apps, get message to upgrade to iOS 5.1.1
How do I do that

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 7.1.2. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.
You can no longer update to iOS 6.x, or down grade the iOS.

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
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 antivirus 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 7.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.
To upgrade using iTunes:
First, connect your iPad to your PC or Mac using the cable provided when you purchased your device. This will allow iTunes to communicate with your iPad.
You will also need the latest version of iTunes. Don't worry, you will be prompted to download the latest version when you launch iTunes. Once it installs, you may be asked to setup iCloud by logging into your iTunes account. If you have a Mac, you may be prompted on whether or not you want to enable the Find my Mac feature.
Now you are ready to begin the process:
If you upgraded iTunes earlier, go ahead and launch it. (For many, it will launch automatically when you plug in your iPad.)
Once iTunes is launched, it should automatically detect that a new version of the operating system exists and prompt you to upgrade to it. Choose Cancel. Before updating, you will want to manually sync your iPad to make sure everything is up to date.
After canceling the dialog box, iTunes should automatically sync with your iPad.
If iTunes doesn't automatically sync, you can manually do it by selecting your iPad within iTunes, clicking on the File menu and choosing Sync iPad from the list.
After your iPad has been synced to iTunes, select your iPad within iTunes. You can find it on the left side menu under Devices.
From the iPad screen, click on the Update button.
After verifying that you want to update your iPad, the process will begin. It takes a few minutes to update the operating system during which time your iPad may reboot a few times.
After updating, you may be asked a few questions when your device finally boots back up. This is to account for new settings and features.

How to upgrade ipad 1 to ios7.

How to upgrade iPad 1 to iOS 7 software

This is a very old argument/issue.
The original iPad hasn't been able to use a newer iOS version since iOS 6 came out almost 2 years, ago.
The original iPad simply does not have necessary hardware and RAM capacity to handle any of the newer iOS versions.
The original iPad is grossly underpowered to run any newer iOS versions and newer apps.
This is price early iPad adopters' had to pay (myself included).
Newer iPads after the original iPad have better/powerful CPUs and more RAM capacity.
The original iPad only had 256 MBs of RAM.
The iPad 2 has 512 MBs of RAM.
The newer iPads now have, at least 1 GB of bulit-in RAM and even more powerful CPUs, now.
If you want to take advantage of the latest iOS and upcoming iOS 8, you need to upgrade to either a newer/refurbed iPad or brand new, up to date iPad models.
It's that simple.

How to Upgrade to iOS 7
The iOS 7.0 update requires around 2.5 GB of storage space, so if your iPad is almost full, you may need to clear up some space. You can check your available space in Settings -> General -> Usage.
There are two ways to upgrade to iOS 7: You can use your Wi-Fi connection, or you can connect your iPad to your PC and update through iTunes. We'll go over each method.
To upgrade using Wi-Fi:
Note: If your iPad's battery is under 50%, you will want to plug it into your charger while performing the update.
Go into the iPad's Settings.
Locate and tap "General" from the menu on the left.
The second option from the top is "Software Update". Tap this to move into the update settings.
Tap "Download and Install". This will start the upgrade, which will take several minutes and will reboot your iPad during the process. If the Download and Install button is grayed out, trying clearing up some space. The space required by the update is mostly temporary, so you should gain most of it back after iOS 7 is installed.
Once the update is installed, you may have to run through the initial steps of setting up your iPad again. This is to account for new features and settings.
To upgrade using iTunes:
First, connect your iPad to your PC or Mac using the cable provided when you purchased your device. This will allow iTunes to communicate with your iPad.
You will also need the latest version of iTunes. Don't worry, you will be prompted to download the latest version when you launch iTunes. Once it installs, you may be asked to setup iCloud by logging into your iTunes account. If you have a Mac, you may be prompted on whether or not you want to enable the Find my Mac feature.

Try a Restart.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Resetting your settings
You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple.
Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

How to update ipad 2 to ios 5.1

hello,
i want to know how to update ipad 2 to ios 5.1

Since this is posted twice, the other post of the question, Barry, says iOS 4.3 is current iOS version...so the way to update is via iTunes on a computer. As Barry says, once a version of iOS at or above 5.0 is installed the update can be done wireless.

how can upgrade my 3gs to ios 5

Update it from iTunes on a computer as described at the bottom of this article; devices running an iOS version prior to 5.0 can't be updated straight from the device. It will be updated to the newest iOS release supported by the device’s hardware, which is iOS 6.1.6 for an iPhone 3GS.

Is there a way to upgrade IPad 1 to iOS 6?

My iPad 1 running on iOS 5.1.1. My applications are frequently crashing. Is there a way to upgrade IPad 1 to iOS 6?

None of us are going to argue with you, but hardware changes, and more rapidly these days. The original iPhone doesn't run very much at all, and of course it can't even run 3G. But some people are happy with it. Non-Intel Macs can't run the latest OSX.
Apple needs to be competitive by making the fastest and most modern tablet it can, and that means within 3 or so years what I have now could be antiquated. That also means Apple has to make a decision about whether to try to force the operating system to continue to be backwards compatible which may have speed issues, for example, for those who have current hardware.
iOS 5.1.1 is very advanced. It's only really missing a few things from iOS 6.1, some of which a LOT of people don't like. Maps is one. The loss of Google Maps is another.
There is nothing you can do. Most Apps don't let you update if it is incompatible with your current iOS, so you should be all right.

Upgrading iPad 2 to iOS 8 Successfully

I thought that I'd report on the method that I used to successfully upgrade my iPad 2 to iOS 8. Although the following procedure did take me longer that just kicking off the standard over the air iOS update, I always think it worth extra effort when upgrading something that I rely on every day (such as my iPad, iPhone, Macs, PCs, etc.). I think that the following procedure is very reasonable and worked well for me. However, your results may differ so follow this procedure at your own risk. Note that I also have a colleague that just did a simple over-the-air iOS 8 upgrade of his iPad 2 and it also worked great. Therefore, you certainly don;t need to go to the lengths that I do below, but I think it's worth it to get a very clean install with as little "baggage" from prior installs as possible.
I have now used my iPad 2 for two days and nights since upgrading to iOS 8 using the following method. And, I am happy to say that my iPad 2 is working better than ever (iOS 7 prior), with no crashes of any kind, good performance, good battery life, and good WiFi and Safari performance. Here are the steps that I personally took to install iOS 8. I hope they help some of you that are having problems with your iPad 2s and iOS 8 and are looking for a solution.
I'm certainly no iOS expert so I hope to see some suggested improvements to this method from the many knowledgable posters on this forum. Here goes:
Cleanup and Prepare
Clean up your iPad including removing apps you do not use, clean up your photos and videos in your camera roll, and clean up the music and other content you sync to the iOS device.
Make sure that you KNOW your AppleIDs and passwords. Make sure you understand which Apple IDs that you are using for iCloud, iMessages, and the Apple Store.
Make sure that you KNOW what your settings are for all of your other cloud/mail/calendar/contacts accounts (Google, Microsoft, DropBox, etc...).
If you are still using POP email in 2014 then understand that you are going to either lose your email or need to download it all again once your upgrade is done!
If you use Google Authenticator app or a password manager then make sure that you understand the process of restoring these apps and their settings from a separate backup if something goes wrong during your iOS restore process
Make sure that iTunes is set to encrypt your iOS backups. Doing so allows iTunes to store and restore passwords that you have stored on the iOS device.
Prepare your iOS Device
iOS Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Back Up Now (this will be a secondary backup just in case)
iOS Settings > iCloud > Find My iPad > OFF
iOS Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Accounts > and Delete Gmail, Exchange, and other "cloud" accounts that you can add back later
iOS Settings > Wi-Fi > and "Forget" each remembered network
From iTunes on a Mac/PC
Make sure you have the latest iTunes version
Connect device by cable to iTunes on Mac (turn on the sidebar if not displayed)
iTunes > Sidebar > Right-click device > "Transfer Purchases"
iTunes > Sidebar > Apps > "Update All Apps"
iTunes > Sidebar > Right-click device > "Sync"
iTunes > Sidebar > Right-click device > "Back Up"
Identify iPad version from back of iPad and look up common name from Apple Site: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5452
Downloaded appropriate IPSW file directly from Apple: http://osxdaily.com/2014/09/17/ios-8-ipsw-download/
Install appropriate IPSW file to iPad by holding "Option" key when initiating a "Restore iPad" from iTunes, select downloaded .ipsw file, confirm intention to restore iPad to iOS 8: http://osxdaily.com/2010/11/23/how-to-use-ipsw-files/
WAIT ... until the firmware install is completed
WAIT ... until the iPad reboots itself and then ends on the "Hello" page
Finally, swipe the "Slide to Setup", choose your language, region, and WiFi network, enable location services
Then choose "Restore from iTunes Backup", then wait for iTunes to bring up the "Welcome to Your New iPad" screen
Choose "Restore from this Backup" (check the date and time), click "continue"
WAIT ... for restore to complete, for the device to reboot, and then for the iTunes "Sync" to complete
Swipe, then click "continue", then type in the password for the iCloud account listed
Agree to Terms and Conditions
Agree to turn on Find My iPad
Do NOT upgrade to iCloud drive yet (until Mac OS Yosemite is available and on your Macs)
iOS Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Accounts > add back your cloud/mail/calendar/contacts accounts (Google, Microsoft, etc...)
Enjoy your very clean iOS device
LASTLY ... Go to iOS Settings and go through nearly every setting to get familiar with the features of your iOS device. If you find a setting that you don't understand then Google it. If you don't need a feature, then disable it for better security and better battery life.

It's always excellent to hear a successful update account, for an iPad 2 with iOS 8 ... since many people who have been posting think this is impossible. From accounts like yours and the many others I've heard, it's entirely possible, if one does it the right way!
When someone is having trouble, though, after having already done the upgrade, I would recommend doing the following ...
Follow this procedure for a Troubleshooting Methodology ... basically reset to factory default condition -BUT- be sure to do the following methodically and also to follow the part with Apple Support!
First you want to make sure you have several backups of your data and done with a couple of "different" sources. Be sure to understand what data is backed up and what is NOT on iCloud Backup and iTunes Backup. Use a variety of methods for backup ... you might check into Dropbox, in addition to your Apple options.
Then turn off your desktop anti-virus software when using iTunes for this reset to factory default. After you do that reset, then leave your iPad in its factory default state and see how it operates then. If you encounter any problems in that factory default state, then take it to Apple Support, and let them know that you have just reset it to that state with iTunes and have not put any of your data back on and it is operating in this fashion (whatever the problem is) in that pristine state. Make sure you keep that trouble ticket number, because if it has to be escalated through Apple Support, you're going to find all communications tied in with that number. If the lower level help isn't able to help you, then escalate it to a higher level to examine the problem. Keep at it with that trouble ticket number until Apple Support arrives at a solution to that problem. Be methodical and keep at it.
On the other hand, if everything is okay with the factory default condition, then restore your backup. Some people have discovered that the problem resides in the apps or something in the restored backup. If that's the case, then it's going to be trying and difficult to find out which developer's app is causing you the problem. And ... it's true ... that a developer not following Apple's instructions and guidelines for his app can CAUSE YOU TROUBLE. This kind of thing does happen from developers, especially when a new system upgrade comes out, because some developers ignore what Apple tells them about changes coming, and what they do BREAKS SOMETHING.
This is a troubleshooting methodology that you are going through. See it through to the end.
