How to update software on iPad 1st generation

Why I'm I unable to update software on iPad 1st generation.

Apple made the decision that the processor and memory on the iPad 1 were not sufficient to give the user an acceptable level of performance with the iOS 6 and above software.

  • How do I update the software on my 1st generation ipod touch?

    I have an ipod touch 1st generation. I am unable to upgrade the software so that I may use newer apps like Instagram. What can I do? I also have a new imac, and a first generation ipad. None of the calendars will synch! I must be missing something! So frustrated as I would like to be able to use all to full capacity and easiness among devices.

    A 1G iPod can only go to iOS 3.1.3 that you get here:

    Note that currently ther are not that many apps that will work with the 1G iiPod.

    Did you backup the iPad first? If you did - restore from the backup in order to restore the photos in the Saved Album on your iPad. If the photos were synced to the iPad, then sync them back again via iTunes.

    If you did backup first, you will be restoring your most recent backup and you should be OK. But know that when you restore from a backup, you restore everything that is in that backup onto the iPad .... All documents, device settings, all data and so on. You cannot just select photos to restore to the iPad. It's all or nothing.

  • 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).

    How does someone who has a 1st generation iPad but no computer update to the current operating system?

    You take the iPad to someone or somewhere where you can update the device using iTunes on a computer. There is no other way to do it. You must use iTunes on a computer.
    Apple Stores will update the device for you. Make an appointment at an Apple Store for help.

  • How can I load and read pdf's on an old iPad 1st generation?

    Bought the wife a new iPad mini and I inherited the older iPad 1st generation. I would like to use it to store and read a lot of my pdf's. How do I get them into the iPad and how do I view and read the pdf's? I think the IOS 5 is far as I can go on updating... I think. Thanks for any help.

  • HT4972 Cannot update iPad 1st generation!

    I have an iPad 1st generation, version 4.2.1 and when I go to Settings > General there is no update button between "About" and "Sounds"....On iTunes on my computer it says "check for update" but then it says it cannot connect to the iTunes store... HELP!!

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1. 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).
    Tip 2 - If you are updating using wifi, locate your iPad close to your router so you don't get a wifi dropout (can cause update corruption).

  • Ipad 1st generation no update

    I am EXTREMELY frustrated and mad that Apple will no update the software for the 1st generation ipad! I was one of the first people to go out and buy their NEW product when it came out and because I did so I am unable to get the latest updates! RIDICULOUS!!

    Hardware changes, software changes to take advantage of it,  and often the new changes can not be run on the older hardware.
    are you still driving a 1973 Datsun? It can't play DVDs. Without a new device installed. Or run your maps, so get mad at Datsun.
