HT4623 Isit possible to update an iPad 1st gen OS 5.1.1 to OS 6?

Is it possible to update an iPad 1st gen OS 5.1.1 to OS 6?
Could be easier than find allll the old apps I had and I now are upgraded to a more recient OS

If there were older versions of those apps that worked with iOS 5, you can try:
App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps
Or find alternative compatible apps:

  • Is it safe to update my iPad 1st gen to 4.3?

    Hello all,
    Thank you all for commenting on my other posts.  After many of you chimed in on whether I should buy an iPad 1st gen refurb or buy an iPad 2 I bought the refurb. It's been a great purchase!  My iPad came with iOS 4.2. With all the horror stories about updating iPads I have held off on updating to 4.3.  I would love to get your feedback on whether it is okay or not to update to 4.3.
    I don't trust Apple's recommendations lately.  I updated my iPod touch 3rd gen based on Apple stating that the 3rd gen is supported in the new iOS.  The new iOS killed my battery!  I ended up buying another iPod.  Several posts have confirmed this to be the case with many others who did the same update.  So before I update my iPad I would like feedback about updating it.
    Thanks!

    I too have updated every iDevice that I own with every update that comes out very time an update comes out. I hope that makes sense to you. No problems whatsoever including battery issues on 3 iPod Touch 4G and my original iPad.
    I do have some concerns that we have two Kings in Britain/Briton with a royal wedding coming up I think you guys would have other concerns!

  • HT4623 Why cant I update my iPad 1st generation

  • HT4972 Is there a way to update my iPad 1st generation to ios6?

    Is there a way to update my iPad 1st generation to ios6? There are so many apps that I need and will not download without it.  My iPad works great so there's no reason to upgrade yet...

    The iPad 1 can not be upgraded beyond 5.1.1.

  • HT1414 is it possible to update your ipad without backing it up or transferring purchases when using another computer

    Is it possible to update your ipad 2 to the latest software without backing it up or transferring purchases to another computer other then your own?

    What iOS version are you on ? If 5+ then as I said, you can do it directly on the iPad via Settings > General > Software Update.
    If you are on iOS 4 then you will need to connect to your computer's iTunes and transfer purchases and do a backup - updating to iOS 5+ from 4 or below will backup up the iPad, wipe the iPad, install iOS 5.1, and restore your backup and iTunes media content (if you don't transfer purchases and backup then that content will no longer be on the iPad after the update). Updating to iOS 5+ : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972

  • Ipad 1st gen: Pinterest no longer working in Safari

    I have an Ipad 1st Gen.  I have been using Pinterest in Safari with no problems...until now.  When I try to go to the website in Safari, it automatically redirects me to download the app.  Is there a way to fix this?
    I cannot download the app because my IOS is updated as far as it can go, and the Pinterest app requires an IOS higher than what I have.

    Ii's not just 1st gen iPads. I have the same issue with my iPad 3. Whether I clickEd my bookmark or manually typed the Pinterest URL, I was immediate redirected to the app. I don't like the Pinterest app, so I deleted it. Now when I try to go to the website, I am redirected to the App Store. So frustrating!
    ive complained to Pinterest via Twitter and left a one-star review in the App Store, but have not received a reply, nor have I been able to find a workaround. For now, I'm using Pinterest only on my desktop computer, but I really miss browsing Pinterest on my iPad.
    if anyone figures out a workaround, please post!

  • IPhone 4s iOS 6.0.1 and iPad 1st gen. iOS 5.0. What do I need to do?

    Wifi connection problem between iPhone 4s iOS 6.0.1 and iPad 1st gen. iOS 5.0. What do I need to do? I've reset the network on each and nothing. Please help.

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • How to install a later version of iBooks for iPad 1st gen.

    I am wanting to install iBooks on an iPad 1st gen, however the current version 3.2  will not work because the 1st gen is incapable to update the software past 5.1.1. How can I install a later version of iBooks such as 2.1.1?
    Any help is appreciated!

    Thank you for your response! I knew there was a way to do this but could not find the answer anywhere else.
    Problem solved!!

  • Should I upgrade iPad (1st Gen) from iOS 4.2.1 to iOs 5.1.1?

    I am using iPad (Wi-Fi only) from last 2 years mainly for web surfing and emails. iOS 5 is sure slick and tempting. Should I upgrade or not? I dont want iPad to get sluggish after update, in that way I am better off with iOS 4.2.1 running smoothly on it. Help pls.!

    I dunno sabatoge.    
    It seems like it would be nice to have ipade 1st gen to get 6.0
    But it would certainly help safari from crashing.     Still.
    I wouldn't,t say that 5.1.1 is the LAST UPGRADE.          Apple might still do something.
