HT4623 My iPad is version 5.1.1 and says it's up to date. Yet some apps need a newer iOS. Why won't it get a newer iOS?
My iPad won't update to a newer version of iOS? What am I overlooking or is this product no longer upgradable?
If it's the first gen iPad (i.e. the one without cameras) then iOS 5.1.1 is the highest version of iOS that it supports - mine got noticeably slower with iOS 5, I doubt that it could cope with iOS 6 or 7 (it has a slow processor and only have the RAM of the iPad 2, and the 3rd gen onwards have double again).
Some developers allow you to download previous compatible versions of their apps. If an app is free then you coul try downloading the current version on your computer's iTunes so that the app is in your purchase history. Then on your iPad go to the Purchased tab in the App Store app and see if you can download an older compatible version of it.

My IPOD touch is using version 5.1.1. and no updates available. I use a podcast app which I listen to every day. The app updated for the new IOS7 and now doesn't work for me any more.
All yo can do is either find a compatible app that works for your 3G iPod (iOS 5.1.1) or purchase a new model iPod.

I updated my first generation iPad to version 5.1.1 and won't go past the setup screen that asks if I want to use the iPad locator. I can go back but can't get any further
I just updated my original iPad 32 GB WiFi to iOS 5.1 about fifteen minutes ago. But I did it with the system restore feature in iTunes. So it wiped out everything on my iPad. But it did work. Then I restored an earlier backup and all went fine. Maybe you could try backing up your iPad and then using Restore to get it back to factory settings to see what happens.

My iPad is currently on OS version 7.1.2 and has not been upgraded to 8 yet. If I do an "Erase All Content and Settings" on the device will the device be forced to upgrade to 8 ? I would like to keep the device at 7.1.2.
To Perform the Erase All Content and Settings directly on the iPad it does not need to be connected to a computer.
In fact yes, is better if its not connected to one, but simply connected to its charger, and have it plugged in. Erase All content and settings, will not update the iOS.
If you restore the iPad using iTunes on your computer with the iPad connected, then it will update to iOS 8. Because the restore will place the newest available iOS version supported by the Phone on it.
Basically disconnect the iPhone, plug it in to its charger, and the charger to the wall, and then on the iPad go to Settings->General->Reset->Erase all Content and Settings. This will wipe clean the iPhone but will do nothing to the underlying iOS installation.
Once everything is removed, you can plug it into iTunes and sync your content back. Do not attempt to restore from backup while connected to iTunes, as it will update the iOS version in the process. Simply sync and you should have no issues. -
My Ipod Touch has Software Version 4.2.1 and says that there is no Update available. Yet I see that IOS 5.0 is out. Why does my Ipod say that there is no update available and my Ipod is up to date yet there is newer software available?
Because you have an older model that is not upgradable to iOS 5.x.

I bought the photoshop touch app for my phone. Why can't I get it on my iPad also?

There are two different versions of PS Touch that, even though they are similar in function, serve different form factors. One is for tablet (landscape orientation) and one is for phone (portrait).
I guess one could argue why Adobe didn't make it so that orientation didn't matter and would adjust accordingly (a la SketchBook Pro) but you'd have to ask the developers that. -
I have first iPod touch, but can't after restore can't reinstall some apps I bought because they have been updated in iTunes to newer versions? I am giving this to my grandchildren and their favorite game Skee-Ball updated and now can't reinstall on iPod touch.
If you still have the apps on the iPod you can delete them from the computer and then transfer the apps from the iPod t the computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
Next would be to look in your computer backups file for a version of the apps that works with the iOS on the iPod.
Otherwise you are out of luck. -

Can't update the flashplayer becasue it states I need to close firefox? Not sure why, I have an updated version of flashplayer but when I go in through firefox it tells me I need to update it, but won't because I am in firefox. This seems to be a problem when I am in FB.
You must close Firefox to install the update after it is saved to your hard drive. Follow the instructions below.
There are 2 versions of Adobe Flash. Both must be installed and updated on Windows systems. In Firefox it would show as Shockwave Flash in your plug-ins, if you had it installed.
*an ActiveX version for IE only
*a plug-in version for Firefox and most other browsers
#'''Install or Update the [[Managing the Flash plugin|Flash]] plugin''' to the latest version.
#*Download and SAVE to your Desktop so you can find the installer later
#*If you do not have the current version, click on the "Player Download Center" link on the "'''Download and information'''" or "'''Download Manual installers'''" below
#*After download is complete, exit Firefox
#*Click on the installer you just downloaded and install
#**Windows 7 and Vista: may need to right-click the installer and choose "Run as Administrator"
#*Start Firefox and check your version again or test the installation by going back to the download link below
#*'''Download and information''': http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
#**Use Firefox to go to the above site to update the Firefox plugin (will also install plugin for most other browsers; except IE)
#**Use IE to go to the above site to update the IE ActiveX
#*'''Download Manual installers'''.

I revive messages from everyone but one person on my phone I had my iMessage on my iPad but I turned it off and also off on my phone but I can't seem too receive messages from them but they get mine,?
They have an iOS device? If so, have them send as an SMS, not an iMessage.

When I try to cnnect my bluetooth keyboard to my ipad, the dialogue box pops up and says: "Make sure 'Apple Wireless Keyboard' is turned on and in range." The thing is, the keyboard is on and is sitting in front of the ipad. I have used it before, but not for many months. I changed the batteries today just in case. The green light on the keyboard comes on and continues blinking. What am I missing?
Keyboards Can only be paired with one device at the time so if it's paired with another device IN range it Will not pair with the ipad
