got no software update in setting  t general so how can i install ios 5.1

You need to install iOS by connecting the iPad to a computer using the most recent version of iTunes and you want to use the computer that you sync with so that you can restore all app data and settings when the update is complete.

  • Trying to update Ipad first generation, how to I do this?

    I am trying to update my IPad 1st generation, which now has an operating system of 5.1.1 -- I can't seem to get the proper instruction from the store/apps only guides.  Nothing is working.  I want to be able to follow friends on Instagram.  Please give me some info on how to update.  All I have found is the guide, which I downloaded and sync to my IPad but nothing happens.  I don't need the guide, I need the actual update.  Thanks in advance!

    That is as high as the original iPad can go. Don't waste your time trying to update further.

  • Does this new security breach affect iPad first generation users?

    Does this new security breach affect iPad first generation users?  My model uses IOS 5.1.1 software.  Will they be making a patch for us too?

    What breach?
    Nothing was breached.
    There was a flaw in ios 6 and 7 in how ssl ccertificates were handled.
    Since over 80% of users are on ios 7, around 18% on ios 6 and less than 3% on ios 5-ios 5 is dead.

  • HT201263 I have restored my iPad (first generation without retina display) and it finishes restoring software but will not stay on for me to restore the data and then shuts off whenever I try to turn it on. I don't believe that it is charging! HELP!

    Long story about what happened but basically I was using the iPad (first generation without retina display) to watch TV at one point it had 20% battery so I plugged it in then it wasn't charging and I didn't realize so it got to 5% and shut off. I plugged it in to charge it but it just kept shutting down and showing the apple logo, then briefly showing me my home screen before shutting off again. I waited a while to see if it would charge, while it continued to turn off and on by itself. Finally, I unplugged it to see if it had gotten any charge but it just told me to plug it in again. I plugged it into a different charger, same thing. I decided to try connecting it to a computer and it stopped turning on but it did not seem to charge. I tried restoring it as it said in the article. It worked until it got to restoring the iPad from the backup that I had because it immediately shutdown before I could continue. I tried to restore it a second time but still it shut down! I'm so frusturated and I cannot afford to get a new iPad, I need it for school and there is no Apple store for 80 miles nor do I have any insurance or warranty on it! (Obviously considering it's the first iPad to ever come out.) I really don't know what to do! HELP

    I have an ipad first generation.  I am trying to connect to a linksys router and the ipad is not finding the wireless network.  What do I need to do?  Thanks for your help.

    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

  • Is there a way to remove all email at once on iPad first generation?

    Is there a way to remove all email at once on iPad first generation?

    Issue does not apply to just first gen iPads, but all iOS devices. The only place in the native mail app that permits deleting en mass is the trash folder. In all other folders you must tap each message to select it before deleting. There may be alternate mail apps that include this function in the app store, but I have yet to find one.

  • I can't find app for iPad first generation! Why ?

    I Had an iPad first generation  and I can't find app under iOS 5.......why And sometime m'y IPad close alone.

    Apple requirements now ask to make them for iOS 7 and above. iPad 1 has become outdated and there are barely, if any, apps available for this device.
    If your iPad restarts on it's own, try restoring to factory settings.
    Follow these articles:

  • Can I update my iPad first generation to ios 6?

    iOS 6-- can I update my iPad (first generation) with it?  It appears I cannot, but I want to make sure.

    No, unfortunately not the 1st gen iPads... The new iOS 6 will run on the iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, and iPhone 5; the iPad 2 and third-generation iPad; and the fourth- and fifth-generation iPod touch.
    Hope this answers your question.
