The iPad 1 can only be updated to iOS 5.1.1. This is unlikely to change.
The apps you have will continue to work and there are still many apps which run on iOS 5 (or even earlier iOS levels).

I update my iPad mini retina with iOS 7.1 resulting in not being to down load NOR OPEN PPT, WORD files using iWork, page, can anyone pls help?
You want to just use Dropbox until the dust settles. To use it from iWork for iOS (assuming you have the Dropbox app installed on your device), open the document in Keynote (for example), tap the share icon (box with upward pointing arrow), choose Open in Another App, choose Keynote as your format, then choose Open in Dropbox and you will get an option to save it to your Dropbox account. To open it from Dropbox in iWork for iOS, open the document in the Dropbox app, tap the share icon, tap Open in Keynote (for example). It's a bit clunky, but works.

I did an auto software update on my iMac, which included a restart. When the machine restarted it's stuck with an Apple logo and spinning wheel. I've tried all of the key strokes that are supposed to work, but nothing has. Any suggestions?
Gray screen could be any number of things, bad third party at boot kext file, a bad Apple one, a bad install/upgrade of OS X, drive corruption etc.

How do I fix the compatibility issue between my iPhone 4S with iOS 7 and my Pioneer car stereo? There was no problem with iOS 6, but now I get a message saying "this device is not compatible" and so I can't use Netflix for example. How do I fix it?
This is a typical response from the manufacturer. Did you try the fix that Lawrence mentioned. When Apple or any other phone manufacturer update phone software, they have the latest Bluetooth installed. It is usually the problem with the radio manufacturer that they devices are using the older Bluetooth protocols. You can try this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3581 and see if anything there helps, but generally it requires the radio manufacturer to update their firmware.

I have the 1st generation ipod touch i installed an update which now it is 3.1.3 version i was able to put my apps on it but when i want to use the apps it will not let me use them. What do i need to do?
Does it happen with the apps that came with the iPod?
Does it happen with all apps you have downloaded/installed?
Have you ried deleting the apps and redownload/install the apps? You will not be charged again if you are signed into the same iTunes account that originally purchased the apps.
Next would be to restore from backup
Last would be to restore to factory defaults/new iPod. -

i will never order one because i got an i pod 3 g i have not had it long and it wont turn off or on or charge i cant believe that you would try to sell me something when the one i have now is good for nothing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! how do i talk to someone about it i called the 1800 # with no luck i would like to e mail someone!!!
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. -

Is iPad 2 compatible with iOS 7?
Yes it is. However, it is at the bottom-end of the compatibility scale and you -may- have performance issues.

Updating the 1st generation ipod
I have a 1st generation ipod touch and I had to reset it.
Since the reset I can no longer put any apps like skype,
facebook etc... It says that the software needs to be updated,
but when I try to update it says that it is up to date (3.1.3). HELP!!In actuality, the 1G can go to 3.1.3.

How can I update my 1st generation iTouch to iOS 3.1? Currently running 1.1.5. I am running iTunes 10 on a PC.
iOS 3.1 is a "paid for" upgrade. To purchase it, go to http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2052.
Using the "check for updates" in iTunes will not show it.
Take into account that although there are still Apps that use iOS 3.1 (or even iOS 3.0), many Apps now require iOS higher than this, but the 1st generation Touch cannot install iOS above 3.1 and will not be able to use any App requiring higher iOS versions. As long as you understand this, don't let me put you off purchasing the upgrade. -
Since I installed ios 6.1 in my iPhone 4, I can't sync it with iTunes. Can annyone help me? I have already reinstalled iTunes and reseted the iPhone, but it still doesn't sync. Thank you.
Hello Sean,
It sounds like you are constantly needing to restore your phone because it keeps going into recovery mode. Usually putting a device into recovery mode and restoring it can help isolate an issue to your iPhone hardware if an issue persists afterwards. I would try manually putting it into recovery mode and restoring it 1 more time:
If you can't update or restore your iOS device
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
If that does not resolve it the symptoms indicate to me that it is a hardware issue causing this to happen and would seek service for it:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Why isn't the new iOS4 update compatible with the 1st generation iPod touch
It makes me extremely angry that i have wanted what the new update contains ever since i got my ipod and now I can't have it because whoever made the update didn't make it compatible with the 1st generation iPod touch. Ig someone could give me a good reason as to why this happened that would be much appreciated.
Doesn't have the needed hardware in particular not enough RAM.
