HT4623 I have a preowned ipad 1, can I update the ios to 6.0?

I have a preowned ipad 1 and cannot load some apps because itunes is telling me I need ios 6.0 or more. Confused.

If you are having problems installing Apps (because they are not compatible with iOS 5.x.x) then the following workaround may help...

  • I have an iPad that I want to update to IOS 5.1. I have several apps that each were installed using a different iTunes ID. How can I update the IOS without losing the apps?

    To update your phone requires using the latest version of iTunes, on your computer, as well as Internet access. The update to iOS 5.0 or higher is an erase/restore deal, so you not only have to make sure all of the content, currently on your phone, is on your computer and accessible, you need to update iTunes first, have Internet access, then update your phone. There is no way around this fact. You could go to an Apple store or use another computer, but you run the risk of losing all of your data it you do that.

  • HT4623 How can I update the IOS on my first generation IPAD? There is no software update option in my settings

    How can I update the IOS on my first generation IPAD? There is no software update option in my settings

    See the chart below to determine whether you can upgrade your device and what you can upgrade to. If you do not have a Software Update option present on your iDevice, then you are trying to upgrade to iOS 5 or higher. You will have to connect your device to your computer and open iTunes in order to upgrade.

  • Hi, I'm a bit low on memory and I can't update the iOS. I need to move some photos off the iPad but I don't want to transfer them to a pc, I'd prefer to transfer them to iCloud and leave them there.  Is that possible?

    Yes, you could, because in this case you would have something like a backup in the cloud. BTW, personally I also like Flickr. Flickr offers you 1 TB (1000 GB) of free storage and automatic upload for photos since iOS 7 (it is a very attractive offer, at least for me)

  • TS1702 I can't update the iOS 6

    I can't update the iOS 6 to my ibad..what should I do

    You will need to connect it to the computer you sync with. When iTunes opens click on the name of your iPad under the DEVICES heading on the left of the screen. Then move right and select the Summary tab and click on Update. It may ask if you want to update prior to getting to the Summary tab, if so click yes.

  • IOS update to compatible version of my iCloud backup (6.1.4) but not to 7.02. How can I update the IOS to the compatible version 6.1.4?

    Am trying to update my IOS to the compatible version of my iCloud backup (6.1.4) but the update will take me to 7.02. How can I update the IOS to the compatible version 6.1.4?

    You cannot.  However, your iCloud backup will be available to you in the current release of iOS (7.0.2).

  • HT4623 I have an iPhone 5. I've downloaded the iOS 7 update but it won't let me install it. Is anyone ells having this problem and what can I do?

    I have an iPhone 5. I've downloaded the iOS 7 update but it won't let me install it. Is anyone ells having this problem and what can I do??

    I imagine a ton of people are attempting to download it right now. Simple patience, maybe keep trying, and if possible, try a little later. Think of it as all those people lining up at Apple Stores + about a million more.

  • Since updating iphone 5c wifi has been off, it's gray and I have tried everything. I can not finish the iOS 8 upgrade. Help

    I have an iPhone 5c version 7.1.2.   When trying to allow the upgrade for the "iOS 8.1.3  , everything appeared to be upgrading except for the wifi.  my Wifi stays turned off now and will not come on.  In my Setting applications , general  it states I need to do the "iOS 8.1.3 upgrade but will not allow me to continue because I do not have Wifi.   I have googled this issue and tried some of the options on there, I do apologize. I can not remember specific right now what the few were.  I have MS and some cognitive issues.  This is very frustrating at this point , I am also having the same issue with my iPad 2.  Any help is appreciated

  • I have an Ipad 2 and never updated the Ios bfore now. When syncronizing it I lost everything I have bought on Itunes. How do I get it back?

    I bought an Ipad 2 some years back and never hooked it up to my computer (somehow). I was now to update the Ios on it, but when doing that I lost all the music I bought in Itunes.
    When trying to buy it back it states "you have already bought this item".. Is it any possibillity to get this music back? I've used quite a lot of money on all that music and it is no fuin having lost it.

  • I have a 3gs. I tried to update the ios today. Now my phone is stuck in recovery mode and itunes is not recognizing. I also tried DFU mode, still nothing. I have uninstalled itunes and reinstalled. Help.

    I have a 3gs, and I haven't updated it for a long time because I always have issues when I do. I tried to update the ios today, and it decided to update it to 6.1.3 instead of 7, I didn't think there would be a problem, so I clicked ok. When I came to check on my phone, itunes said there was an error with the update, and my phone was in recovery mode (plug-in sign on the screen). I looked up multiple things to try, I tried putting it in DFU mode, still itunes doesn't see it. The computer also doesn't list it under devices, however when it is plugged in the Apple Mobile Support USB Driver shows up in device manager. I have tried uninstalling itunes and reinstalling, still nothing. I just want to know if there is anything else I can try. Thanks.

    No, it is my phone that I've had since 2009. I just hate updating it because every time I do something goes wrong. So I put it off as long as possible. I am getting a new iphone, but I read that to have your backup transfer to the new phone, it must be a backup from the current ios.
