HT4623 Is my original iPad no longer supported?

I have several apps that don't function anymore. Is there anything I can do...less buying a new iPad?

Though yours is an ipad 1, the thread below might help you sell it and put the money toward a new one.

Also, if you are concerned about spending more money to replace it (and even if you're not) consider the Apple online certified refurbished store.
Each Apple refurbished ipad (any version) comes with a new front and back cover, a brand new battery and a full one year warranty with 90 days of phone support. Each comes in a white box like a new ipad with the wall charger and usb cable. The only difference is that it says in small print on the bottom of the box that it is Apple certified refurbished. Also, if you buy refurbs, be sure to check the store many times a day. They can come and go quickly, so when you see what you want, buy it right away. Shipping is free and pretty fast. (We bought two a year and a half ago and they have been great!)
Hope this helps.

  • HT4623 why is the original iPad no longer able to update

    I have the original ipad & it says it is no longer eligible to update.  It is has plenty of memory so that isn't the problem

    The minimum requirements (processor, ram, etc) don't meet the requirements for the current version of iOS.  Apple determined that the original iPad was not robust enough to run iOS 6 without degrading the user experience being degraded beyond their level of an acceptable costumer experience.
    More or less if you want the newer versions/features it is time to upgrade.  I can say that most likely every 2-3 years is the upgrade cycle for iPads.

  • Original iPad no longer connects to Mac?

    My original iPad will no longer connect to my Mac. I replaced my old Mac Tower with an Intel Power Mac. I have tried everything that I can think of to remedy this problem.

    Try going to Settings/General/Reset (Last option at bottom) Reset Network Settings. That should do the trick.

  • Will the original iPad no longer receive updates when iOS 7 comes out?

    I have been told my original iPad will no longer receive software updates after iOS 7 comes out. Furthermore, I was told I would no longer be able to purchase apps and that the apps I have would no longer receive updates making my iPad totally useless. Is all of this correct?

    I imagine that it would be up to the software developers to make sure that their apps will still work with iOS 5.1.1 which is the highest upgrade for the original iPad. So as long as apps are available for iOS 5 you will still be able to purchase them.
    If your iPad functions today with the apps that you already have on it, it will still work when iOS 7 is released. A new software upgrade has no bearing on whether your iPad will still be functional. It just will not be able to download new apps that require iOS 6 or iOS 7.

  • HT4623 is the original ipad compatible with the ios 7 update?

    is the original ipad compatible with the ios 7 update?

    No. The iPad 1 can only run iOS levels up to 5.1.1.

  • HT4623 Are the original iPad's not running the latest OS?

    My wife has one of the original iPads.  She tried to use the Target Store app and it told her she needed to update her OS.  We tried to update but is said the iOS5 was up to date.  Any suggestions?

    Original iPad cannot update beyond iOS 5.1.1. If you don't have it yet, connect to iTunes to update; you need iTunes 10.5 or later.

  • Ipad OS 7 no longer supporting JBL onboard xtreme dock

    I bought the JBL speakers last year and had no problems with connectivity either direct or via bluetooth.
    In the last few days charging of the ipad when directly put on dock seems variable, and now I keep getting messages in the music screen that this ipad no longer supports this accessory.
    I can get the speakers to work via the bluetooth connectivity.
    This really irritates as I liike to charge my ipad overnight and use the alarm to wark me up in the morning.
    Another great consequence of IO7?

  • I have an original version of the IPad.  Can this be updated or is it no longer supported.  Do I need to buy an new IPad?  This one still works great!

    Is the original IPad still able to be updated?

    If your original iPad does everything you want it to do there is no need for you to purchase a new iPad. But if you find there are apps you want to use that are not available to you because the iOS on your iPad is too low then, yes, a new iPad would solve that problem.

  • HT4623 I have apps that say I need iOS 6 but my iPad says I'm updated with latest 5.1 version.  Is Apple no longer supporting 1st Gen iPad???

    Is there any way to update my iPad even though it doesn't have a camera?  I'm hoping Apple isn't going to stop updating and fixing bugs for original iPad.

    I don't think bug fixes are ruled out, however iOS6 is for iPad 2+. The theory/thought/idea is that iPad 1's simply can't handle the bells and whistles of iOS6. IIRC, models of the iPhones and Touches are also not eligible for iOS6.
    It's really the same as the laptop that I have at work that can only run XP because it lacks a processor and ram to handle windows 7 or 8.
    Software moves faster than hardware.

  • I have what I think is the original Ipad, and it will no longer send out emails.  Is it possible to update it, or am I just stuck with a $500 electronic device that will no longer work the way I need it to.  Some of the original apps will no longer work

    I have what I think is the original Ipad, and suddenly it will no longer send out emails and some of the apps that worked prior to the newer Ipads coming out will no longer work.  Can this be updated, or am I stuck with an expensive electronic device that will no longer serve my needs?

    Did you already update to the latest iOS; http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623

  • HT4623 I have the original iPad and I don't have an option in Settings, General for Software Upates. The App Store only has a Spanish version. Does anyone know how I can update to iOS 5?

    I have the original iPad and I don't have an option in Settings, General for Software Upates. The App Store only has a Spanish version. Does anyone know how I can update to iOS 5?

    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).

  • VGA Adapter no longer Supported for iPAD

    VGA Adapter no longer supported. I have an iPAD 1 which i use for business to do presentations. Since upgrading the VGA adapter no longer works. What are my options to correct this issue?

    I have used Keynote to present presentations at customer sites and conferences via the VGA Adapter, a VGA cable and projector. This is the only application that i used the adapter for. I recently upgraded to v5.1 and the first presentation i did since the upgrade was Wed, May 2, 2012 where i was embarrised to find it no longer worked in front of a large number of customers. A little warning would have been helpful.

  • HT5278 If ios 5.1.1 on iPad 1 is no longer supported, is the device safe to use for credit card payments?

    Hi All, anyone, or just helpful users,
    If ios 5.1.1 on iPad 1 is no longer supported, is the device safe to use for credit card payments?
    I know the reasons why Apple no longer update IOS for Ipad 1.
    Due to end of life support, no bug fixes for older apps and constant vulnerabilities being exploited, does this now make the device insecure and vulnerable?  either information stored on the device or (especially) when making credit card payments through Safari, etc.
    Thanks in advance,

    I would say your biggest issue isn't as much your operating system as it is the network you use your device on. For example the most secure device in the world can be used at McDonalds open wifi and have its info intercepted....and it's not your device's fault rather the connection. Any security program is only as good as its weakest component.
    THe iOS operating systems are still very secure because they are highly resistent to viruses and malware....but a user can still click on that 'you won a million dollars' link in an e-mail and hand their personal info over to a hacker.
    If you feel you can no longer trust it, then stop using it. But I would say a user's internet connection and behavior are larger security vulnerabilities than any device.

    My original iPad takes about 5 long seconds before responding to my finger tap in the safari window. Like I tap in Safari window, then count 5 seconds before I can begin typing my search words. Is this normal? I really don't remember it taking so long when I bought it, but it has been this way for awhile. I have closed all open apps many times to no avail. I just reset all settings and still 5 seconds. I don't have a lot on my iPad with plenty of free space available. Also, I have to click twice on many things that typically take one click. Like it highlights it with first click, then second click completes the action that normally would be done in one click, like Facebook like button. Like will underline with click one, then will change to like on second click. Do I need to try to restore from my computer?
    Thanks for any help!

    Ive tried that but when Im logged in I dont have all the permmisions I should have so it just runs the test for my usernames own little virtual world.  Ive been using macs for over a decade now and I have never had my computer do anything like this. while sitting in front of my screen I watched the mouse go to some personal files and change the permissions and then covered their tracks by changing the timestamp on the file dates back. I watched it happpen while all internet conections were off.  I had my identity stolen, my facebook password changed, my email accounts closed out. and my firmware password changed all within two weeks of the origninal boot date
