How to update the iPad iOS version? I have an iPad (first generation) iOS 5.1.1. I can't update the software via WiFi nether via iTunes

I have an iPad (probably first generation - Model A1337 ). This tablet has iOS version 5.1.1.
I would like to update for the latest version as possible.
There is no option by iPad wifi.
I also tried by iTunes and in option Checking for UpDate, only let me know the current version, but doesn't open the possiblity to update for a newer.
How can I update the software version ?
tks

Hi,
The first generation iPad is limited to iOS 5.1.1. This is due to the original iPad not having enough power or memory to get to iOS 6, 7 or any further in the future.
All other iPads and iPad Minis can get to the current version - iOS 7.0.4 and at least until the end versions of iOS 7 or iOS 8.
Hope this helps, and Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!

  • I forgot my passcode and my ipad is disabled.I have never done a sync with a PC and I can't complete the download on my PC too

    Hello, I need your help to restore my IPAD (4g - 32MG). I uptaded the IOS7 on my Ipad yesterday and I made a mistake of not writing down the passcode on a paper. After trying unsuccessfuly to have access to it, my IPAD was disabled. I went to the store I had bought my IPAD and a guy from Apple Store tried to help me. As I had never sync my IPAD with any PC  before, he told me the only option was to restore my IPAD. But when he tried to restore it through ITunes on his computer, a message of error appeared and he could not do it. I have tried to download ITunes on my PC but apple support says that that is unable to run the Itunes and suggests me to unistall ITunes and try to isntall again. I have already tried three times and it didn't work...when I turn on my IPAD it shows an image asking to connect to Itunes and I can't get to ITunes. I do appreciate if somebody can help me to solve this problem. Thanks.

    You will have to use recovery mode, losing all data.

  • Can I run the hardware test when I have four different accounts on my mac 10.8.4, can I run the hardware test when I have four different accounts on my mac 10.8.4

    Hi  Noticed that the top of my mac is nearly too hot to touch.  Did a search online and found out about the hardware test.  Looked up online user manual for my mac (Processor  3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 10.8.4) and noted how to perform the test.  However, when I keep my finger on the D button through start up it just brings me right to the screen where I have to sign in to my desktop account (there are four accounts on the desktop as it is a family mac).  Am I doing something wrong.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    First, you should know that it's normal that your iMac is hot at the top. Here are the fans, so it's normal that it's hotter than other parts. Before going further, download Temperature Monitor and tell us which temperatures it indicates > http://www.bresink.com/osx/TemperatureMonitor.html
    If it gives dangerous temperatures, then you should run Apple Hardware Test. Looking at the processor the Mac has got, your Mac came with DVDs. Apple Hardware Test is in Mac OS X Install Disc, so insert it and hold the D key while your Mac is starting to start in Apple Hardware Test

    After iTunes opens, select your device when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
    Click "Check for Update" in the Summary pane to check for available updates.

  • When plugging in an iPad in Apple Configurator, it is not being read under USB Connected so I can't update it.  Any ideas on how to get the system to read the iPad?

    When plugging in an iPad in Apple Configurator, it is not being read under USB Connected so I can't update it.  The iPhoto window opens up and reads the photos on the iPad, so it is connecting to the computer.  Earlier today I wasn't having any problems.  I have shut down the iPad and the computer and started over, but that didn't help.  Any ideas on how to get the system to read the iPad so I can update the apps on it?

    Hi, is the problem just to update your apps on your iPad? Here is what you should check. Is the iTunes on your computer updated to the latest version? Does your iPad needs to be updated? Do you have enough storage on your iPad to do the update? On your device is your iCloud back up checked?
    Go to Settings - iCloud - Backup/Storage - see if its checked, and try unchecking it before connecting it to the computer.
    Please let me know if you need any further assistance.

    I had the same problem after I gave my old iPad to my parents and tried to install Netflix. This is what you have to do:  Open iTunes on your computer, the one you sync your iPad to. Then go to iTunes Store and search for and download Netflix app. After you download it, if your iPad is set to download new purchases it may start downloading on your iPad. If so, tap and hold to delete the app (because it is trying to install the new version on the iPad) Next step, go to the App Store on your iPad and find Netflix and it should say install since you already purchased it on the computer. Tap to install, and it will say the version is not compatible, tap to download a previous version. Click that and it will install the older version!    One more thing, if and when you sync to your computer again it will say something like " Unable to install Netflix on your iPad" Just click the box to never remind you again, because it's trying to sync the newer Netflix app to your iPad, but it doesn't work so it displays the message. The old app will remain on the ipad. Hope this helps, good luck

    Are you trying to use the phone in Bahrain with a supported carrier there? I suspect not. If you try to use this phone outside of Bahrain, you won't have FaceTime. This is done to prevent folks from simply crossing the border to purchase iPhones in Bahrain...FaceTime is banned in Saudi Arabia & the UAE. Sorry, but you'll only have FaceTime on that phone while using it in Bahrain on a supported carrier's network there.

  • In iPad 1 ios 4 may have two ipad Apps the same from two accounts itunes

    In iPad 1 ios 4 may have two ipad Apps the same from two accounts itunes one free other paid account, hence one free App and another paid App the same App?

    If both accounts are authorised on your computer's iTunes (Store > Authorise This Computer) then you can download the books from both accounts to there (download the books from one account, then sign out of it via Store > Sign Out, log in with the other account via Store > Sign In and download the books from the other account), and sync them over to the iPad's iBooks app via the Books tab.
    Or you might be able to sign out of your account on the iPad by tapping on it Settings > Store and sign in with the other account and download the books from that account - I think that it should work, but it's not something that I've tried so I'm not 100% sure that it will

  • Just bought an ipad air and I have an ipad 2.  I would like to use both with the same computer.  Can someone tell me how to do this.  Do I have to set up a separate user.

    I just ordered an ipad air and I have an ipad 2. Can someone help me so I can use both ipads from the same computer.  The new one is for my husband and I am going to take the ipad 2.  Do I have to do something different since they will be using the same computer.  Any help you can give me would be appreciated.  Thanks in advance for your help.

    It's no problem. I hope this explanation simplifies the information in the Link Demo gave you. It's how I think most people do it...
    To avoid having to pay again for apps you have already purchased, use the same Apple ID (likely the current one) on both devices. You can adjust this in:
    Settings > iTunes & App Store.
    So that you can communicate with each other, use separate Apple IDs for iCloud, Messages, and FaceTime. Adjust those in:
    Settings > iCloud
    Settings > Messages
    Settings > FaceTime

  • I have apps from old work account that I can't remember the password to. On my personal phone those apps keep showing up but I can't update them because I can't remember the password. How can I delete them and download on my new account?

    Tap and hold an app until they all start jiggling and an X appears in the icon's top left corner. One by one tap the X to delete the app. when they are all gone you are free to buy them again with your own account.

    My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now.  About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

    I have an ipad mini.  I did an app update and now many of them have been showing a "waiting" message for two days and I cannot open the app or
    delete the app.  Any ideas?

    Double tap the Home button to bring up the multi-tasking bar...tap & hold any app until they all start to wiggle...tap the red minus sign to remove every app shown. Tap the Home button when finished. Try to delete the app now.
