I have a 1st gen iPad. Upgrade to IOS 6.1.1 appeared, but it quit shortly into the installing and has not come back up again. Both the iPad and when synced to the iMac, say i am fully up to date at 5.1.1! Has anyone had / got the same issue? How can I upgrade when it doesn't acknowledge there is no need?

You are most welcome

    Correct, iOS 5.1.1 is the highest possible for the first gen iPad.

  • When my hard drive died I lost my itunes library and now I'm being told that I can't synch my ipod with new songs unless I delete all existing because I can only have one library at a time

    Copy all the content on your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes. Then go ahead and sync the iPod with your new library.

  • HT4623 I have a 1st generation iPad &recently updated to iOS 5.1, but I can't find my AppStore app icon! Help!

    I have a 1st generation iPad and recently updated to iOS 5. However, I can't find my AppStore app icon now. Like it's disappeared!
    How do I get the icon back?

    Do your have Restrictions turned on?  Settings>General.
    If that's not it, scroll to the left until you get to the search page.  enter "App Store", does this find the app?  If so, then the icon is lost on some later page or is in some folder.

  • I have a 1st gen ipad. Want to play Candy Crush. Installed app from app store. I hit play now, I see the board then the pad goes back to the start screen (the one with all the apps displayed). Do I need additional apps to run? Thanks.

    I have a 1st generation iPad. Want to play Candy Crush Saga. Installed app from Apple Store. When I tap on the app, I wait a long time while it reads "loading" then I hit "play", I see the board then the ipad goes back to the ipad start screen (the one with all the apps displayed). Is there some additional program I need to play this type of game. I know that space is not an issue as I have very little stored. Thanks.
    Just found my answer. Worked perfectly. Instructions very clear.

    try uninstalling the app and reinstalling it. u shouldnt need to install anything else but the app itself to get it running. if that doesnt work then update ur software and see if that works.

  • Trying to get my ipod touch (1st gen) to upgrade to ios 3.1.1

    Trying to get my ipod touch to upgrade to ios 3.1.1.   I get an error message 8288

      Hello, I hope by now you have resolved the upgrade issue, but if not, here is what I ended up having to do:
      “SUCCESS!!! I took my iPod to a friend who is a computer programmer/genius. He turned off his wireless, hooked the ethernet cable directly into his computer, and the download went through without a hitch. YAY!”
      Here is my original post explaining what I had already tried:
    “Hi all,
    I got an iPod Touch 1st gen for my youngest son for Christmas as a starter. It has the 2.1.2 ios on it, but after I paid for the upgrade to 3.1.1, I keep getting an error message (8288) saying there was a problem with the network connection. I have called customer service, and they suggested I try on a different computer, and if that didn't work, try connecting to a different network, and then trying the update. None of this has worked. It seems that tech support is clueless with this issue.
    I have installed and unistalled iTunes 10.5, 10.3, 10.4, and now I am back with 10.5. I have tried looking up the issue from several search engines but no one seems to have a universal solution and I have tried several.
    I really want to have this thing updated for himw hwne he opens it, but I am starting to worry that my purchase was a bust. I know this is the oldest version, but I don't want to buy a newer, more expensive iPod and him still not be mature enough to really take care of it. As I said, this one is a starter.
    Can anyone help? Please?!
    Thank you!!!
    P.S. We have a PC, with Windows XP Home.”
    Now, there seem to be a lot of different ways to solve the 8288 error, none of which are universal. Best of luck getting yours upgraded!

    P.S. The post by Sparkhi is a link to his blog going into a long story about how he wanted Apple to pay him for “solving” the issue….the one that apparently has been solved by multiple solutions. I’m not trying to bash, it just bothers me that he put up this whole story and finally, at the very end of his blog post, posts his solution.

  • Help Needed: iPod Touch 1st Gen not upgrading to iOS 3.1

    I have a iPod Touch 1st Generation running iOS 2.2.1. I have iTunes 10.1.1 as well. When I connect my iPod to my computer, and click Check for Updates, it says 2.2.1 is the current version. I thought I could run 3.1 on my first generation. Why is it doing this? Please help as I'm going to b traveling a lot in the car tomorrow and would like to be able to play some games but they need 3.1.
    Thanks

  • 1st Gen iPad problems with Pages

    I have a 1st Gen iPad and have the Pages app, but now that the new Pages app has been issued for iOS7 I can no longer open docs from the cloud in the older app. I saved the docs from my mac as a pages09 file and still can't get them to open. What now?

    I spent about 4+ hours with Tech Support on this issue.  There is no luck according to their Senior Technician. He spend time rummaging over the internet offering me solutions with 3rd party apps to get 'iCloud" back with pages, but none of them worked with an "Offline" mode.  This was a big hinderance on myself as well. I am a Tech Writer and had a lot of documents that I needed to send to my Editor...he uses Pages as well...  Once I edited my documents in the New Pages, he couldn't opened them...this is not good.  I know newspapers all around are probably feeling this burn right now.
    I have found a solution however, but it requires a previous purchase.  I bought Pages 09 back on 10.6.3 Snow Leopard long before the Mac App Store was opened to Snow Leopard 10.6.8  What I did what continue using that program, denying the update to Pages in OSX Mavericks.  Still though with all the documents I had to open each individual one and resave them as .DOC format then reimport them into iCloud after cleaning out the /Library/Mobile Documents/Pages section.
    Now as I am a Tech Writer, I do NOT expect the average user to figure this out or even need to figure this out, this was an unacceptable move by Apple and after looking at the specs, there is NOTHING that would prevent them from making Pages 10 Backwardscompatible for Pages 09 users or add Pages 10 support to iPad.  Since they ONLY allow it to run on iOS7 Devices, kind forces you to run out an buy a new iPad2 or higher.... since I am quite confortable with my 1st Generation, I will continue using Pages 09'  and if worst comes to worse, I will roll back to Mountain Lion,  there was no update feature on that one and never did it bother me about upgrading Pages 09....

  • Kindle on 1st Gen iPad

    I have a 1st Gen iPad that I am giving to my husband.  I cannot download the Kindle App because it does not, and cannot have, the 'latest and greatest' software update.  Any suggestions?

    Amazon and most other developers do allow you to get an older version of their app. First, download the app on itunes using the same ID you're using on the ipad. Then go back to your ipad, launch the appstore and go to 'purchased'. You should now see kindle in the list. Hit the install button and it will give you the option to download an older version of the app, usually the last one that supported your ios version ( for an ipad 1 you may want to upgrade to ios 5.1.1, the latest allowed).

  • 1st Gen ipad; digital copies

    I have a 1st Gen ipad and i would like to put my digital copies that some of my movies came with; when i tried it kept telling me that my ipad will not play this content. Has anyone else had this problem?

  • What can I do with airplay and 1st gen iPad?

    I just set up my new 2nd gen atv.  I have a 1st gen iPad.  Besides using it for movies, photos. what else can I do with Airplay. I've seen posts about using it for games such as racing but I looked at a couple of racing games I have and don't see how to send it to my tv like a movie.  Any help is much appreciated!

    Websites and third party Apps need enabling before they will allow AirPlay of Video content. Some Website/App developers have not enabled their products, some simply haven't got around to it yet, others have stated that they won't be enabling AirPlay (likely as a result of licensing issues).
    I have created a User Tip to list Apps that have been tested with Video Airplay, if you have any Apps that you have tested please leave details in the comments at the bottom of the User Tip or email me if you don't have commenting privileges.

  • HT5457 New app upgrades put 1st gen Ipad users out in the cold - Recently DirecTV and The Blaze both upgraded their ipad apps so that only ios 6 and above were compatible - anyone who has a 1st gen ipad cannot upgrade to ios 6  - what is up with this Appl

    So 1st gen ipad users are basiclly left out in the cold unless they go out an buy a new IPad - of course DTV and The Blaze are blaming Apple and Apple is blaming them - what is the deal Apple -  I pay for my subscription to The Blaze in order to have it on my IPad and now I can't even use it - same with DTV - so is Apple now forcing people to buy upgraded devices thru their apps that will no longer support the older generations - what a joke this is and bad business.

    Unfortunately software always moves faster than hardware.
    Apple's not going to change things. You can try talking to those two app developers and have them make their older versions available.
    Beyond that, if you wish to express yourself directly to Apple, http://www.apple.com/feedback/
    This is just a user to user forum, so there's nothing anyone here can do for you I'm afraid.
