HT1721 First Generation Ipad Few Months Old
I have the first generation of iPad. Apple Care replaced my iPad 3 months ago due to a battery/charging problem. A couple of weeks ago, the iPad screen appeared to have colors reversed. Photos appear to be like negitives, background is light, icons look odd?I
What can I do to fix?
thanks,
Pattie
You have a good memory!
That's the correct set of steps and it should fix Pattie's screen negative view.

Maybe a little more info would be helpful. How are you trying to update the iPad? What model iPad it is and what version of the iOS is on it now?

I have a first-generation ipad. We recently purchased a new laptop (not an Apple) and I had to change my e-mail pasword as I couldn't recall what it was; it auto-populated on the old computer. I changed the password on my ipad and the new laptop (no issues), then a few days later, I couldn't send out any e-mails on my ipad, but could on the laptop. I have been around and around with the e-mail provided, and they cannot help me.
Anyone out there with the same problem?
Thanks.If you had a yahoo or gmail account, we might be able to help you, but Earthlink is the source you need guidance from. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

ios updates to first generation iPad ? Is 5.1.1 the end of the line ??
That's not so good! I found 5.1 was fairly stable but since upgrading to 5.1.1, Safari crashes frequently and it totally refuses to read some PDF's that have been readable in iBooks previously.
My local Apple Store said the problem was that my IPad (2 years old) is obsolete and I should buy a new one!
I know people have complained about IOS6 because of the mapping - but I would welcome anything that made it crash less!
Maybe related but I used to charge the battery every three days (I just use it for email & web in the evenings). Since the upgrade, I have to charge every day. 3 hours use tonight and it's down to 20%.
I've completely disabled iCloud (again a shame because I really liked the syncing with my iPhone4s) and the only two apps that are ever active are Safari & Email.
Any ideas? Should I just accept defeat, eBay this one and buy a new one?

First generation iPad keeps shutting down safari and other problems.
I have a first generation iPad. It is currently running on iOS 5.1.1. Now I just updated the software on my iPhone to is 6.1.2. Does the iPad not follow the same update schedule? It doesn't say it needs to be updated.
Anyway, on to my original problem. My safari will randomly close down. I'm not sure if it's considered crashing because no dialog box appears. It usually happens on particular sites like Facebook or news sites. If I go back it happens again. But I can go to a different site and it will work without closing down. I am also having trouble typing emails or message board responses. I will be in the middle of typing and it will stop responding. I have to close the keypad and then fetal the screen so I can resume typing. This can happen several times. I'm not sure what the problem is. I went through and cleared out a bunch of old apps hiking maybe my memory was getting to full. That didn't help. I reset my iPad and used my back p to get my apps back. Didn't help. Finally I reset my iPad to factory settings. I didn't even restore my backup. It's still happening.
Any ideas?You should try restoring the iOS software now if resetting the iPad did not help. This explains how to do it. I hope that you have a backup, because restoring the software erases the device, but you have the opportunity to restore from the back after the software is installed again.

Home video not appearing in Videos/Movies after syncing with first generation iPad.
Why is my home video in Shared Libraries but not Movies after syncing with first generation iPad? It appears in Movies on iPad2 and iPad3. I've already changed Media Kind to "Movie." I didn't have this problem 1 month ago when syncing a new video. Is there a software update issue? iPad says software is up-to-date.
The video app has 4 tabs across the top. If they are not hiding in one of the tabs, i suspect they are missing the type identifier and the app doesnt know where to show them. Glas that at least you can find them.
Next time you sync, take a look in i tunes, and see if they are fully labeled there. I would not be surprised if one the i tunes fields is the key for the pad video app to know which tab to put the, under. -
I'd like to update my first generation ipad to iSO4
How can I update my first generation iPad to iSO4?
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
• Launch Settings app
• Tap on Wi-Fi
• Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
• In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

My first generation iPad won't turn on, it does not even show the battery sign. Its been like this for months, help?
First, charge it overnight using the charger that came with the iPad. Do not use an iPod/iPhone charger and do not use a computer's USB port.
Then try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. -

Opinions about the first generation iPad?
Hi-
I've been considering purchasing the first generation iPad vs. spending more on the iPad 2. I don't think I would be an iPad "power user" - basically just want one so that I can check email and surf the web. Who's using the first generation iPad and what do you think of it with iOS5? Any issues I should be aware of?
Thanks!The first generation iPad can only be found used at this point... I have no problem using mine with iOS5, but others have complained about it.
Keep your eye on March 7 - Apple has announced a "media event" featuring a picture of the iPad which could (nobody here could say for sure) be the introduction of a 3rd generation iPad. If so, it is possible that the iPad2 price will be lowered, or that it would be a good time to get a used iPad1 or 2 from someone looking to sell their old model and buy a new one. -

Why is it when I bought my first generation iPad in October 2010 the sales rep at the Orange County California South Coast Plaza store suggested that I buy Mobile Me service for $99 which he assured me was a one time charge and now, of course, Mobile Me has been discontinued and I've been "forced" to move to the Cloud and I'm being provided with another year of what Apple calls complimentary service with the clear indication that in a year I'm going to be asked to pay again for something I paid a one time charge for two years ago?
Mobile Me was the successor to .Mac (dot mac) which was "free" to all users but for a limited time. It included a free email address @mac.com and an amount of what we would now call "cloud" storage that went by the name of iDisk. iDisk worked great but with only dialup service for me it was barely useful.
So I didn't think much of dot-mac but lots of people thought it was worth paying for, so they did. Apple wanted to make it even more useful and integrate it with their portable devices which we all know as iPads and iPhones, and assembled a team to make it all work. This was to be called Mobile Me.
They failed miserably. Lots of people including me looked at the final product and said "huh?" Unfortunately for the Mobile Me engineers, one of those people was Steve Jobs. He first humiliated them quite publicly, then disbanded the team, including firing at least one senior manager who shall remain nameless.
This was the rocky beginning of what is now called iCloud, which is the "free" service I should have explained. iCloud includes an email address @me.com, and the 5 GB of "storage" which aggregates things like iWork documents, your email, calendars, Photostream, and iPhone backups.
You can buy more storage if you need more than 5 GB, but if you have more than that it's still free through September 2013.
What happens if you have more than 5 GB stored on iCloud and on September 2013 you don't pay? I'm not sure, but you have a year to think about it. -
When I attempt to open a Safari window on my first-generation iPad, it opens to a blank screen. I can see the web address bar and the search box, but the rest of the page is white. I cleared cookies, history, and cache, but still nothing happens. The iPad is 3G, and I have tried to open Safari using both 3G and my home WiFi. My wife has an iPad 3 WiFi, and hers opens without issue. Any suggestions on what I might do? Thanks!
1. Double-click the Home button to close all Inactive Apps in Task Bar
2. Hold the Apps in Task Bar down for a second or two until you see the minus sign
3. Tap the minus sign to close Apps
4. Tap center of screen to return to Home Screen
5. Reset iPad. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 second until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the red slider
