How to improve use for 1st Gen iPad

I love this app. I have other pdf readers but I love this app the most. The only problem is, it lags on me most of the time. It slows down every now and then. Please give me some advice on how I can improve the performance of the Adobe Reader on my 1st Gen iPad. Thank you very much!

The lagging problem might be the reason of memory. You can try using Adobe Reader after freeing up memory by removing stuff from your device which is not necessary.
Thanks,

How to read ebooks with 1st-gen iPad?

New owner of a 1st-gen iPad (gift from someone upgrading), who wiped her iPad clean before she gave it over.
I have some eBooks in my iTunes Library, but I can't seem to find a way to read them on the iPad. iTunes tells me I have to have iBooks, which requires iOS 7. Since the 1st-gen won't update past iOS 5.1.1, Kindle won't download below iOS 6, and Nook won't seem to read books already in the Library....
Oh, and how can I save PDFs onto this thing?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You can download both iBooks and Kindle (and other book readers) to iTunes on your computer. Once downloaded open the Purchased section in the App Store on the iPad and tap to download the apps. You will be prompted to download a compatible version.

Using 1 password with 1st gen iPad. How?

can't fine 1password 3 for 1st gen ipad. Itunes store only has ver 4 which will only work with IOS 6 and my aging Ipad won't work with IOS 6. Being abandoned with a 2 year old product is no fun. Thanks, Jerry

If the version that you want to use is no longer available, there is nothing that you can do about it.
I'm not familiar with the app, but if the developer updated it to work with iOS 6 only, then there is nothing that you or Apple can do about it. It would be up to the developer to make sure that the app will work in a lesser iOS.
If this is the app that you want, unfortunately, it only works in iOS 6.

I received a 1st Gen IPad from a supplier as a gift to promote their products. They used their Apple account to load the apps. I am not able to load my own apps because their apple user is the one that pops up. How can I change it to mine?

Set it up as new device, explained in this article, without using the backup afterwards:

How can I move music from my 1st gen iPad to my new 3rd gen iPad

How can I move all the music on my 1st gen iPad to my new 3rd gen ipad?

Transfer the music into iTunes on your computer and then sync the new iPad with iTunes.
Or download all of the purchased music on the new iPad. You can download the songs again for free in the Purchased Tab of the iTunes App as long as you use the same Apple ID that you used to buy the songs with originally.

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.

Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities
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.

MY 1st gen iPad has candy crush ---but it is stuck in "an update mode". My iPad can no longer acceptsupdates for any games beyond 5.1. Therefore, each time I try to access the game it goes into a "pause" mode. I would hate to delete the game because I think I will lose my score. But I can't play the game either. Can someone help me with this? Can I go back to my last updated candy crush for my ipad, or do I have to delete it and start over? Also, how would I get the one for my generation iPad

I have a similar problem. But my iPad shows the connect iTunes screen and gives error 2001 when I try to restore it.
My iPad's battery was fine but I didn't use it for like 2 weeks. It's battery would've discharged and it turned off. When I tried to charge through wall socket, it got into the restart loop where it would show apple logo and turn off. So I did the simultaneous holding of Home and Sleep buttons for 10 seconds or more. It started showing connect to iTunes.
When I try to restore, the iTunes does the usual "extracting file" or something and go upto preparing for restore. But the iPad screen turns off from "connect to iTunes" and iTunes gives the error 2001, and the screen is back to connect to iTunes.
Also, if I don't plug in, the iPad seems dead, doesn't wake up or anything.

How to fresh install iOS on 1st gen iPad?

I'm being "gifted" a couple dead 1st gen iPads. Both have dead batteries and supposedly no OS. Included will be new batteries. I'm sure I can swap batteries (YouTube has a video for everything). I just d/l'ed iOS 5.0. I've never dealt with Apple before (I'm a Linux guy...shrug) so I don't know jack about this.
How can I install iOS 5.0 on my "new" iPads? I'm planning on using one for myself and giving one to a local, home schooling family that can't afford a "toy" like this (even if this "toy" would make a good learning base).
Do I just plug the iPad into the computer and hit a few keys on the iPad screen? Or is there more to it?
Thanks for all your help. I've installed Windows and Linux OSs via both USB (thumb) drive and CD to a computer and Android OSs via both BT and USB cable (to/from my computer). I'm not a complete computer noob but know enough to break things pretty well.
Thanks in advance!!

Just this much of your post indicates you are starting down a path that is going to be loaded with problems. I suggest you throw this download away, and start down a brand new path.
Apple software goes through checks and balances to make sure the latest software for that version of hardware is what gets installed. Your best approach, if you somehow successfully installed new batteries, is to install the current iTunes version on your computer (11.1.5), and then plug your iPad into iTunes using the USB cable that was supplied with the iPad when it first was shipped by Apple. iTunes on your computer should detect the iPad, and hopefully proceed with the approprate setup.

Can't use Photoshop Touch on 1st Gen iPad?

App store won't let me download and install it on my 1st gen iPad 'cause it doesn't have a camera. It doesn't NEED a camera, does it? I've got tons of photos in iphoto on my ipad and I receive photos in my email and via wifi. Does anyone know how I can use Photoshop touch on an ipad without having to buy a NEW iPad?

Are you selecting the albums to sync correctly? ...
Put Checkmark in "Sync Photos from iPhoto" ...
Click button next to "All Photos" or next to "Selected albums .... include ..."
Select the albums, events and so on that you want to sync - with a checkmark next to each ....
Then click apply in the lower right corner of the iTunes window

My 83 yo dad has a 1st gen iPad. He has so many photos he would like to view on his HD TV; so I purchased Apple TV for him. But I am having a hard time setting this up. I have been able to get his music on Apple TV, but he really wants the photos. Help

My dad has a 1st gen iPad. He is 83 yo. I recently purchased an Apple TV for him because he loves Netflix and I told him that he could view his photos via the television. BUT, I'm not having success with Photostream. Help me.....I've been researching and trying everything I can and so far, no luck. He keeps asking about the photos, and I'm losing patience with myself and Apple TV. Can anyone help???? Thank you.
