Is the operating system on the original ipad update capable?
My menu has no "Update OS" option, and no iCloud option.

The Software Update option (and iCloud) only appears when you have iOS 5+ installed, you will need to do the update via your computer's iTunes.
Connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Transfer Purchases (you may also want to copy photos off the iPad as well) and then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'. You may also want to copy off the iPad any important documents, notes, files etc e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case.
You can then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button.

HT4623 My iPad is one of the original iPads. On settings, there is not a "software update" to click on. Any suggestions?

I have the original operating system that came with the original iPad. I have not updated. When I go to settings > general, there is not "system update" available to click on. How do I update?

Settings>General>Software Update is currently only available for IOS 5 and above.
If your are using IOS 4, you need to connect to iTune (computer) to update software

Why can't I listen to radio stations and run a download on the ipad2 at the same time as with the original iPad

why can't I listen to radio stations and run a downloaded program at the same time with the ipad2 as I could with the original iPad?
is there something in the new one that I have not turned on?

Nothing needs to be turned on. What apps are you attempting to use? Perhaps the versions you have don't support background operation.
Regards.

What virus scan if any is on the original iPad when you buy it

What virus protection if any is on the original iPad. When you buy it?

Lets consider a few things, is the iPad generally safe on the interwebs without some sort of third party scan (scam) ware in your premise.
Lets risk assess how many most/all PC and later day Mac systems become infected/compromised .
They are auto downloads through a browser or Email attachments with auto-scripting of some sort.
Open ports (no fire walling)
Social engineering.
And via Flash scripting.
1) Now as for the IPad, built in protection consists of preventing virtually anything being downloaded/installed via the web browser. PDF can be but viewed within a sandbox.
2) All authorized apps are distributed and installed only via Apples approval process via the App Store and ITunes
(Some corporates can install their own software via private channels at a cost)
3) A factory (Not jailbreaked) ios device has no access to command line so no ports can not be opened with ease.
4) Social engineering - this usually involves driving the victim to their web browser then see point 1 above or point 5 below.
5) Apple and Adobe haven't found a way to get a version of Flash to work on ios devices within the Apple released developer SDK and APIs. So no risk of running compromised Flash in foreseeable future at least not on a factory ios device.
6) You do however run the very real risk of theft and even this has been considered with Find My iPad/iPhone apps and remote locking and system wiping functionality.
Other than adding resource overhead what else could third party virus scanning do on such a locked down system ?

HT4623 Why won't the original iPad's update to the newer software? Applications like iBook & CTVGo will not upgrade without the iPad upgrading.

Have the original iPad that won't update past 5.1.1. Applications are requiring newer update versions. Why won't my iPad update past this version?

IT's because of the system specifcations are probarly not able to handle the new requirements for the iOS 6+ if you want/need those applications you'll have to purchase a new iPad

I bought an iPad 3 yesterday; this is an upgrade from the original iPad. I was told that migrating the data would be simple. My desktop is a PC with Windows 7 Professional. I can't find a way to back up my old iPad so I can restore the data to the new

I bought an update to the original iPad an iPad 3. In was told that migrating the data from my old iPad to the new will be a snap. Alas, it isn't. My desktop is a new high end PC that came preloaded with Windows 7 Professional and I have had nothing but problems. My earlier computer was XP and everything, including my Apple interface, in particular iTunes, worked without problems. When I was trying to back up my data from the old iPad to my desktop, the only thing it would do is synchronize, then got an error message to download the latest iTunes, which I did but it still did not work. I have a lot of music both purchased through iTunes and a lot of others which were CDs that were copied to the desktop. I also have a lot of books through Kindle and other books in iBooks and audio books from other sources, plus two iPods I want to sync. I need some advise on where I find the back up feature in iTunes so I can copy all the data on from my old iPad. Your help would be most appreciated. Thank you.

In technical support, sometimes you have to make educated guesses. I'm sorry that you were offended.
iTunes does prompt when it is going to erase a device, and the message is clear.
She said in her message that she was able to successfully sync the old ipad. This indicated to me that itunes wiping the data was not an issue, because either it had been setup at the apple store (in which case it doesn't actually wipe the ipad despite saying it will*) (*based on a single case I saw), or because the itunes media folder was migrated.
Furthermore, my solution was to tell her how to backup her ipad (by either doing it manually, or as a last resort, by deleting the corrupt backup -- that she couldn't access anyway.)
I got that last part of the instructions from the "Taking Control of your iphone" book which I found samples of when I did a google search for "corrupted backup itunes".
She marked this as a solution, so it worked for her.

How would my dad delete the kindle app from the original ipad and then reinstall? He keeps on trying to reinstall it, but it keeps on coming up with my kindle account. Or at least how do I sign out on his ipad so he doesn't keep on getting my stuff?

Okay. here's the deal. First, I received the original Ipad for a birthday present. Now, I have the ipad 2 and my dad has my original ipad. We were able to delete all of the apps and reset most of the other items. However, I originally had the kindle app on there and when he is reinstalling it comes up with my kindle account. How do we change this? He does not have an actual kindle so I am not sure if he would be able to create one anyways. I just don't want it to keep on coming up with my account.
Thank you!

However, I originally had the kindle app on there and when he is reinstalling it comes up with my kindle account. How do we change this?

The Kindle app is so you do not have to use a Kindle. Yes, he can have a Kindle account and not own an actual Kindle hardware device.

I have the free version of this app that limits you to a 5MB file, but it does work. It requires iOS 3.1. I'm not sure how well the paid version works or what the limitations are.

TS3274 I have the original iPad- 18 mos old. I tried to download an app that required flash player. Went to the apple store and was told to update my software to iOS 5.1.1. I did and now everything I had previously installed as apps are frozen. :( HELP!

I have the original iPad- about 18 mod old. I tried to download an etool program and it required iflashplayer. My iPad wouldn't do it. I went to the apple store and they told me to update my software to iOS 5.1.1 which I did . Now none of the apps I had installed prior to this work. The icons are still on my screen but when you touch them, it just blinks and nothing happens..like the screen is frozen. How do I restore all of these apps and favorites that I had on prior to this update? Please speak in very non- tech terms if possible. I am VERY low tech unfortunately!

Welcome to Apple Communities
You must use iTunes. Connect your device to your computer, open iTunes, select your device in the sidebar and press Restore. Then, you can restore your device from a backup, and sync the device with iTunes to transfer your files to it pressing Sync button

Is it possible to show a presentation from the original iPad via wireless on an older projector with no HDMI input?

is it possible to show a presentation from the original iPad via wireless on an older projector with no HDMI input? If so, what equipment is needed?

The ipad not support wireless projector yet.
The workaround is you are using computer that connected wirelessly [needs 2 wireless adapter] / via cable to projector and connected also to the wireless router.
You are controlling the computer via wireless connected to the router using remote desktop app like splashtop, teamviewer, logmein, vnc, etc. You must set the remote desktop port and app at the computer too as ipad app support.

HT4623 why is the original iPad no longer able to update

I have the original ipad & it says it is no longer eligible to update. It is has plenty of memory so that isn't the problem

The minimum requirements (processor, ram, etc) don't meet the requirements for the current version of iOS. Apple determined that the original iPad was not robust enough to run iOS 6 without degrading the user experience being degraded beyond their level of an acceptable costumer experience.
More or less if you want the newer versions/features it is time to upgrade. I can say that most likely every 2-3 years is the upgrade cycle for iPads.

I have the original iPad and today 2 inches of the screen went to all color lines. Cant' work or play?

I have the original ipad. Today 2 inches of the screen went to straight color lines. Can't change it! Can't read or work. HELP!!!! Please : )

Sounds like hardware failure.
Try a reset. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the red slider.

How does the original iPad mini perform on iOS 8?

I have been thinking about getting a new iPad from the iPad 2. I know the original iPad mini and the iPad 2 have similar specs, but the real upgrade I get from it is the wireless technology and the ability to use Handoff. Overall, how does the original iPad mini handle iOS 8? Should I go with that iPad or get the iPad mini 2? I wouldn't get the iPad mini 3 because I don't think Touch ID is necessary for what I want to do on an iPad.
Overall, I am wondering how iOS 8 performs on the original iPad mini so it can help me choose between the original or the iPad mini 2. Thanks in advance for your input!

Get the mini 2 when the prices come down. The mini 2 is baically a smaller iPad Air. The improvements over the mini are well worth the money.
