HT4623 original ipad update for ios 5?

Can the ios be updated to ios 6 for the original ipad or am I stuck with ios 5.1?

...if you wanna change tires within a couple of years, then a car may not be for you.....
that's about the same.
I defenitely like the quality of Apple, no discussion!! however I have quite some hardware (PC's, tablets, phones, laptops) some on windows some on Android, and of course my iPad-1 on iOS5.
It's not about the OS.
Untill now I never had to change/replace my complete hardware...Okay maintenance is needed and every software comes to an end. But one of my laptops still works on windows (12 years old)... It's not the fastest one but works with all the installed software. The iPad is only on the market since 2010 (27th januari to be precise!!).....talking about the duration of support.......
Anyway, I stick to my opinion that commercially it's not a good thing (at least not for me) with the current pricing of so called new hardware....

  • HT4623 Why doesn't my old original iPad update to iOS 6?

    My old original iPad will not update to iOS 6

    That's right, it can't and won't. If you read the tech descriptions of the OS you'll stumble across some section called "iOS 6 Is Compatible With ...", which will not include the original iPad.

  • Why won't my original iPad update past IOS 5.1.1

    I purchased an iPad when they first came out and my IOS has always updated when a new version came out however right now its version 5.1.1 and it says my IOS is up to date but I now have APPS that say I need an updated IOS.  I tried connecting wired to my PC and iTunes but no difference in results

    The iPad 1 will not go further than 5.1.1 because the hardware can not accommodate the newer software.

    These are user to user forums. Apple does not participate here and does not respond to posts. For the record, since the iPad 2 supports iOS 8 any attempt to update the iPad 2 will result in an update to 8.1. Apple only supports updating to the latest version of the operating system that the device supports.

  • My original iPad still shows iOS 5.1.1 as the current version with no opportunity to update.

    Hi Blueandpink,
    If you are running iOS 4, you will need to update the iPad via iTunes on your computer (can't do OTA updates unless you have iOS 5 or higher).
    If you have a first generation iPad, unfortunately you won't be able to update to iOS 6 (iOS 5 is the highest you can update to on the original iPad).
    If you are on an iPad 2, 3, or 4th generation with iOS 5 and it still isn't working, try holding  down on both the Sleep AND Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds (ignore the red slider button). Keep holding it until the Apple Logo appears. When you see the Apple logo on the black screen, let go of the buttons. This “reset” fixes a lot of iPad issues and might work to resolve the update issue. Try updating again.
    Hope this helps!

    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.

  • HT4623 My Ipad say that iOS 5.1.1 software is up to date.  How do I update to iOS 7

    How do I update my software to iOS 7 when my Ipad says that iOS 5.1.1 software is up to date?

    If you have the original iPad 1, then iOS 5.1.1, is as high as you can go and that is the most up to date software that you can run.

  • HT1430 Since downloading updates for ios 6.0.1 can not send or receive mail on iPhone and iPad

    Since downloading updates for ios 6.0.1 can not send or receive mail on iPhone and iPad

    Is this on wifi or cellular data?
    Have you tried a reset? Hold down the home/power button until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.
    Have you gone into the email settings and making sure the password are still there?

  • Ipad mini with retina-- apps crashing on ios 8. Even apps updated for ios 8 are also crashing

    AFter updating my ipad mini retina to ios 8, apps already updated for ios 8 are crashing like...scanner pro by readdle,
    safari not working as well as on ios7.1.2.

    Me too. I've been an Apple fan for a long time but things are starting to get painful. I hate telling people not to upgrade but I can't honestly recommend otherwise.
    A bad thing is that these problems are not predictable. I have an iPad Mini - no retina that I got for free for opening a new bank account. I am a developer so I have run it on iOS 8 for some time. Even the released version has annoying bugs that weren't there on iOS 7. While the performance isn't great, it is useable. But a retina would have higher requirements and perhaps iOS 8 makes your machine too slow.
    Do try all of the resetting and troubleshooting techniques. They may help.

  • HT4623 Why can't my 1st generation iPad update to iOS 6?  Memory is not an issue.

    Why can't my 1st generation iPad update to iOS 6 when memory is not an issue?

    The first gen iPad has a slower processor (A4) than the iPad 2 (dual-core A5) and iPad 3 (dual-core A5X) and 4 (A6X), and it also has less memory - 256 meg, compared to the iPad 2's 512 meg and the iPad 3 and 4's 1024 meg. My first gen iPad got noticeably slower with iOS 5 than it was with iOS 4, so I doubt that it could cope with iOS 6.

  • HT4623 I would like to ask if will be available update for iOS 7

  • HT201263 Is the operating system on the original ipad update capable?

    Is the operating system on the original ipad update capable?
    My menu has no "Update OS" option, and no iCloud option.

    The Software Update option (and iCloud) only appears when you have iOS 5+ installed, you will need to do the update via your computer's iTunes.
    Connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Transfer Purchases (you may also want to copy photos off the iPad as well) and then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'. You may also want to copy off the iPad any important documents, notes, files etc e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case.
    You can then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button.
