HT201335 Is there a technical reason why the first gen iPad will not mirror?

I have a first gen iPad running 5.1.1
I had 5.1 and that did not work either. 
A new 2012 apple tv and no go on the mirroring. My iPhone 4a mirrors. Why can't the first gen iPad

I think the newer iPads have a 5 or 5x chip set.  What are they using in the first gen?
I never thought of my iPad as slow
I couldn't tell you off the top of my head.
Yes iPad 1 still seems good for me too, but the 3rd gen is noticeably smoother in use.
Absolute specs are really irrelevant - Apple have not allowed the iPad 1 to mirror and that's that - pretty much like older Macs pre 2011 not being able to do so due to lack of a CPU feature.

    Is that what you really believe?
    I don't know cause Apple decided for me.
    As does Microsoft anytime that they release a new update that is no longer compatible with the old PC hardware.
    I would hope that Microsoft and Apple would both know what operating systems will run on the hardware that is produced for them.
    I would also hope that Microsoft and Apple know better than you do as to what would work on their devices, tablets, computers, phones .... How much time and money have you put into research and development on the iPad?

  • Will the first gen ipad support display mirroring via airplay when IOS5 is released?

    From what I have read, IOS5 will support display mirroring on the ipad 2.. Is this likely to be added to the first gen ipad ? If so then great, but if not, why not? Im sure if you can wirelessly stream music and movies to an Apple TV device (connected via wifi) from the ipad one, then surely you must be able to use display mirroring ?

    In case you didn't click on the link above that is on the Apple site:
    AirPlay Mirroring for iPad 2
    Wow your audience in the board room, classroom, or living room. AirPlay now supports video mirroring. Which means you can wirelessly — and securely — stream whatever’s on your iPad 2 to your HDTV via Apple TV. Everyone in the room sees exactly what’s on your iPad display up there on the big screen — even when you rotate iPad from portrait to landscape or zoom in and out on photos.2
    So unless you were told be Steve Jobs that the iPad 1 will also do AirPlay Mirroring it really doesn't matter what you have been told, you are posting at best speculation but more likely misinformation.
    And no, don't have anything better to do.

  • Is there a technical reason why I can't sync both my iCloud and Yahoo/Gmail contacts at once?

    Is there a technical reason why I can't sync both my iCloud and Yahoo/Gmail contacts at once? I would like to be able to sync between all three services.

    Definetely not. It's as simple as maintaining a single database and use it for iCloud, Google, Yahoo or any other... like it was earlier. It's just Apple being barbaric in their strategy to restrict use of competing devices and services.

  • HT4623 I have purchased a Epson Workforce 435, can't AirPrint, will this work with the first gen iPad?

    I have purchased a Epson Workforce 435, can't AirPrint, will this work with the first gen iPad?

    Also i forgot to add after a night of searching how to turn the Epson Workforce 435 printer into Airprint friendly and not iPrint (which are 2 completely different things) i donwloaded a program called (AirPrint Activator) from HandyPrint. The link is below to download the software. Once i installed the application i set my printer to be shared over my Home Network (Wi-Fi Network). Once you have done that, open the AirPrint Activator application you have just downloaded, swtich it ON from OFF mode, and then you should easily see your printer name in my case EPSON Workforce 435 and then just close the application. Then go to your IOS Device like your iphone/ipad/ipod touch select a picture that you want to test print or even an attached PDF from your email, and select Print in the share button. You will then be prompted to select your printer. Your printer you automatically be recongised then just select print. And now you have a complete AirPrint ready printer with a Printer that doesnt even support the function. Im sure you can do this to all Wireless Printers, even if they came out before Apple AirPrint service launch.
    And also if you still need guidance and a video to follow from just click the Youtube link below

  • IPad first gen Calendar will not show month view for March. When you go feb to march the pad goes back to the home screen. Apr etc are all there. March seems to have some problem always going to the home screen. How can I fix this

    I am haveing trouble with the calandar view on an iPad first gen. the month of March will not display , no matter how it is asked for the device drops out of calandar and defaults to the home screen. all other months display. Any fix suggestions welcome.

    Try removing any all-day events from the calendar for the 1st April 2013 e.g. if you are syncing the calendar from somewhere else (e.g. Outlook on a PC or iCal/Calendar on a Mac) then change it to a timed event instead of all-day (if you don't sync your calendar from anywhere then try going into list view, go to 1st April and change any 'all day' events to times e.g. change Easter Monday to start at something like 4am) - it seems that there is a problem with all day events on that date which is when the clocks change due to daylight saving on the day before.

  • TS1702 how do I find apps for the Ipod version 3.1.3 for the Ipod touch in Itunes?! Is there no more apps for the first gen Ipod? I've tried and tried and googled and can't find a single app that will install on this old Ipod. Please help!

    I recently had an Ipod first gen with Ios 3.1.3 fixed and am in need of finding games for my son to play, but I cannot for the life of me find any games or any apps that can be installed on this Ipod! every time I download something and try to install it, Itunes keeps telling me that the app requires a newer Ios! There isn't any new Ios version for this ipod that I can find. Itunes won't install any newer version of Ios, and no new apps can be found that can be installed. Please help me.

    iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
    Vintapps 3.1.3 - paid app.
    Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.

  • Why the Error Window that Will Not Leave?

    I keep getting an error window, usually it occurs whenever I turn on my printer, & sometimes when I turn it off. This window, despite having an "OK" button, never leaves the screen, necessitating my having to move it around, as it gets in the way. It will only leave when I reboot my computer.
    The ironic thing is, there is NOTHING WRONG with my printer, the connection, or the function of my printer! The only thing wrong is this rather LARGE, and uninvited error window!
    The exact wording is:
    Failed to connect to the device
    -Check the I/F cable connection between the device & your computer.
    -Please turn OFF the device once, and then turn ON the device
    Then try again.
    (MTW005)
    and then there's an "OK" button

  • Why is there no more update of software for the first gen ipad ?

    why have they stoped anymore updates...
    common...why do we have to stay with old updates..the new apps being updated demand ios 6..and anyways there are not many useful apps for ipad1..why do we suffer..:(..plz plz plz...update it...\

    Unfortunately, that's what happens with technology. At some point it becomes uneconomical to continue supporting.
    Be thankful you bought an iPad though, which Apple has supported with updates for at least a couple of years.
    If you had bought an Android tablet it likely would never receive any updates, and would forever be stuck on whatever version if Android it came with, or it would've stopped getting updates in a matter of months.

  • HT5457 When is their going to be a new soft ware update for the first gen IPads

    Are there going to be any more software updates for Gen 1 IPads?

    No, Apple have now discontinued support for iPad 1 so that is why you can't get iOS 7 on it.

  • My 3rd gen iPad will not update to ios7.0.6. Although connected to wifi, it says I'm not connected to the internet?!
