HT4623 Help getting ios5 on iPad 1

How can I get ios5 on iPad 1 nothing under settings and I don't have another computer to use is it possible?

If you are using iOS 4 (or earlier) there is no Software Update in Settings. That feature was first added in iOS 5.
To update you will have to connect your iPad to iTunes on a computer (preferably the one you sync with and backup to).

    Don't have "software update" option. How do I get ios5 on ipad

    The Settings > General > Software Update option only appears when you have iOS 5+ installed, if you have iOS 4 or earlier on it then 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 (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases if you are on iTunes 11). You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad as well 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 force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.
    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

    An iPad 2 will update to iOS 6.0.1 (which is the only version that is 'signed' by Apple), so you will lose the built-in YouTube app and the Maps app will change.

    Help required

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.0.1. For the iPad Mini the iOS is 6.0.2. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

  • Help getting data off ipad

    Ok, I'm hoping someone can help me here. I"ve read tons on the forums but can't seem to find a solution.
    Here's what I'm working with:
    iPhone 4s v 5.0.1
    iPad 2 v 5.0.1
    MacBook Air v 10.6.8
    I use various email accounts - gmail is where I get most emails, exchange server which is where my contacts & calendar reside as well as a .me account that I don't use at all. I don't sync through itunes (never saw a need to since my email, contacts & calendar sync through exchange and gmail). I do try to run a backup every so often.
    All this has been working great, til the exchange server blew up and we all lost everything. Most people are also working off a desktop outlook so IT was able to recreate most of their stuff that way. I don't, as I either work off ipad, iphone or web mail access.
    Luckily, my ipad was in airplane mode at the time and is now the only place with a clean copy of my calendar and contacts. I did a backup of this, and the IT guy tried to extrapolate the data from that backup. Unfortunately, what got synced back to the exchange server was not a complete copy - many appointments are missing, contacts are incomplete - and I can't find any rhyme or reason to the missing data. I'm thinking that it has to do with what itunes does and does not backup, but not sure.
    So, is there any hope that I can get this data somehow? I am open to multiple solutions. I can move it to gmail, to the cloud, to entourage, to the server. The thing is, as soon as I turn it off airplane mode, it will sync to the server and wipe everything out so keep that in mind.
    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

    Try this. Connect your iPad to your MacBook. Launch Image Capture (in the Applications folder). It should recognize you iPad and hopefully you'll be able to transfer your photos too.

  • HT4623 Help with new disable iPad mini

    I recieved a iPad mini for a christmas present. My niece personalized before I got the gift and forgot the password, now I can't activate it.  After six tries it disabled and now says connect it itunes.  I'm trying but it isn't doing anything.  Do anyone have any suggestion other than go to the apple store.

    Hi ladibyeuless,
    Thanks for your query!
    Try and place your iPad in recovery mode and then restore the iPad back to factory settings.

  • Help getting photos off iPad...

    Hello.
    I have saved many photos on my iPad from facebook and other places through safari. My problem is that when I sync, iTunes says that iPad is synced with another library and wants to delete all my iPad photos before sync. I have only synced my iPad with my MacBook. No others.
    How do I save all my iPad photos so I can let iTunes fix this problem by erasing everything? Wish I could log into iPad with Finder and copy everything before I lose it.
    Thanks in advance.
    -Scott

  • HT4539 how to get ios5 on ipad

    I'm new to this and keep being reminded to update to ios5 or 6. How do I do this

    You need to update it from iTunes on a computer.

  • I have ipad wi-fi cellular.  Photos won't open when I insert the SD Reader.  I tried syncing photos through itunes and that didn't work either.What do I need to do to get photos on ipad?

    Have ipad wi-fi cellular.  Photos won't open when I insert the SD Reader.  I also can't download photos from pc through itunes.  Need help getting pictures on ipad.

    For the SD card, are you copying the photos onto it yourself from your computer ? If you are then you need to create a DCIM directory off the root of the card, with the photos underneath it, and the photo filenames need to be exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension i.e. in a similar format as if a camera had created/written them.
    In terms of syncing photos, what happens when you try ? You should be able to sync photos by connecting your iPad to your computer and selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, and on the right-hand side selecting the Photos tab - using that tab you should be able to select which photo folders to sync to the iPad. There is a bit more info on this page. You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync.

  • So now i might ned u all help, currently im using ipad and i get some news abt ios 6.1 and im interested abt it so i updated wif my Ipad (ver. ios 5) and i checked some web said ipad1 cnt update to ios6 so i might ned u all help how to restore bck to ios5

    If it's showing the connect to iTunes screen then you will need to do that.
    But Apple don't provide any method to update the first gen iPad to iOS 5 (nor do they support downgrading the iOS version).

  • HT4623 I cannot turn off the passcode which I do not want on my ipad.  I keep getting the message "ipad is disabled" I have tried to enter the passcode that I entered when I updated to iOs7 and cannt get to the settings page.  Can someone help me?

    I cannot turn off the asscode which I do not want on mhy ipad.  I keep getting a message "iPad is disabled".  Yesterday, I updated to iOS7 and was asked
    to enter a 4 digit passcode and now  I type in the 4 digits and the ipad will not accept it.  I want to get to the settings page.  Can someone help me?
    Thanks.

    hope you didn't have GREEK keyboard selected
    If you did APple do not want to know that their upgrade has trashed your ipad
    search on  ios 7  ipad  greek keyboard
    to see other sufferers - if you had a greek keyboard then you need to set it to english/french etc
    to do that you need to unlock your ipad
    to unlock your ipad you need to re-set your keyboard
    to do that you need a greek keboard
    to get your greek keyboard back you need to unlock your ipad
    and so on and son
    thank you apple

  • How do i get apple support to help? I have Ipad Issues, (I Own Iphones,Ipads,Ipods 3 of each for myself and kids) also Nanos,shuffles, appletv,**** man i got jus about all apple products. 3 of each

    I have a disabled Ipad, niece tried to get one it, but disabled it, its been so long I forgot PW now,  I've been trying to get I touch with Apple support for that last couple months with no success, but today for the first time in what seems like a millions million years, they responded, and they said to open or tap button below to test... lmao, how am I supposed to tap the button when I cant even get into my ipad, lol, grow a brain.
    I had come to this site last month sometime, and asked the same questions, how do I restore my ipad? when I connect it to the laptop or iTunes, it says to turn off find ipad, someone from this site guided me to delete this option from icloud but it didn't work, I removed find ipad from the icloud, but it still says that or to remove it, I did, now what? what can I try? I've tried turning to Apple... They seem to not care about my problem, or haven't even tried to help. until today. but lol as stated above, I cant get into my ipad to tap button, if I can I wouldn't bother with this.
    I bought the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge, man I LOVE IT.... I Should switch oer to Samsung instead... at least, after I got my new cell, and when I tried to contact Samsung support to ask questions they responded with 5 miutes.

    how am I supposed to use my ipad to go to setting on icloud? when I can't get into the ipad. here's a pic, look at what it say to use (ipad).. I CAN"T
    I cant post a pic.but it basically says:
    "turn off find ipad using ipad, before you can restore." lol
    am trying to get my ipad going, if I was able to use my ipad to go into icloud to turn off find my ipad, then, it would already be accessible. am tring to acess my ipad, if I can post a pic, am sure all you people reading this will make you laugh on the floor rolling around kicking your rears.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You might try a forced shutdown to begin with, hold down the top and home buttons together until the device shuts down, then restart it.

  • HT201302 Hi People! please help...I want to know how can i get photos from ipad to the computer, that were synchronized previously to ipad but from another pc that i dont have access anymore and these pics are now only found in this ipad and no other plac

    Hi People!
    Please help...I want to know how can i get photos from ipad to the computer, that were synchronized previously to ipad but from another pc that i dont have access anymore and these pics are now only found in this ipad and no other place.

    Hi Alan,
    Thanks for the help, but i've actually done that before.
    It does not help, because it only shows the photos on the camera roll and do not show the photos synchronized with that pc that i dont have access anymore.
    The photos/albums all appear on the ipad, i can see it without problems but i cant get them out of the ipad to save onto pc for backup.
    And i reaaly need it, as it is the only place that i actually have these photos now...
