HT4623 why can't I upgrade to iOS 6 on my Ipad 1?

Some of my app upgrades require an iOS 6.1 but when I try to update my system... it says my software is up to date at iOS 5.1.1

That is the latest version for the original iPad. iOS 6 requires an iPad 2, 3rd or 4th generation, or iPad mini. The original iPad is just getting too old - likely too slow of a processor, not enough RAM, etc.

  • HT4623 Why can I not update my iOS 5.1.1 to anything higher. Apps I had that worked, no longer work because they require higher than 5.1.1

    I have an iPad with ISP 5.1.1 which I can not seem to update to anything higher than 5.1.1.... The apps that we're working on 5.1.1 but are upgraded to ISP 6 and/or 7 will no longer work. When I try to open them I get a message saying App expired. Wth??? Help plz... ( first apple product)....

    I Don't understand why the apps would expire. Apps that work in iOS 5 should still work on your iPad. Did you try updating these apps and it was unsuccessful?
    And and I've never heard of apps expiring.

  • HT4623 Why can't I update my iOS on my iPod touch

    I am unable to add any apps to my device due to the iOS I am running but when I tried to update it I was not able to. Why is that ? Please Help.

    If you have an iPod Touch 2, iOS 4.2.1 is the last iOS supported on that device.
    You will not be able to add newer iOS apps, but you still can choose from well over 60,000 vintage iOS apps.
    The trick is finding them. One way you could try,

    What happens when you connect the iPhone to your syncing computer and start iTunes? Are you prompted that there is an upgrade available? What version of iTunes is on the computer? What Operating System is on the computer? What version of iOS is on the iPhone?

    Are you sure it's a 3rd Gen? If it's an 8GB or 16GB model then it's a 2nd Gen and 4.2.1 is the latest
    What happens when you try?

  • Why can I not upgrade my iCloud storage on iOS

    Why can I not upgrade my iCloud storage on iOS

    Hard to say why that would be.  Suggest you contact iTunes store support for help with this: http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html.  They normally deal with iTunes and app store issues, but they should be able to tell you if there's an issue with your iTunes account that is preventing the purchase and how to correct it.

  • IWork purchased on disc in 2011.  Why can't I upgrade free?

    I bought iWork on disc at BestBuy with my MBP in 2011.  But when I click on Pages, Numbers or Keynote in the App store I get the message, "Pages 4.3 is already installed but was not purchased on the App store.  Would you like to purchase? $19.99"
    Why can't I upgrade?  I did buy it, but at the time it was not even AVAILABLE in the app store.

    Then why do we read this ....
    Pricing & Availability

  • HT4972 Can iPad2 be upgraded with ios 5.0 ?

    Can iPad2 be upgraded with ios 5.0 or above version ?
    If yes, please let me know the process.

    The iPad 2 can be upgraded to 6.1.3.
    If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.

  • Why can't I upgrade from 10.5.8 to 10.6? My MPB spits out the disc before it ever appears on the desktop.

    Why can't I upgrade from 10.5.8 to 10.6.3? My MPB spits out the disk before it ever appears on the desktop. The Snow Leopard disk is brand new, was still in shrink wrap until I opened it. I do have the hard drive partitioned, running Win XP with Boot Camp, if that might be the issue.

    Hey vlntrg,
    I have a 2002 model Powerbook that will sometimes (most of the time) refuse to mount a CD or DVD. It just grunts for a while and then spits it back out. When this happens, I will slap the bottom of the machine several times with an open hand, not too hard and not too soft. I read this somewhere online (I forget where), and I was hesitant to try it, but it was cheaper than replacing the SuperDrive.
    This will often allow me to insert and use the CD or DVD. I have also noticed that I have less trouble when the machine is cold than when it's warm.
    I've not had this trouble with my MacBook Pro.
    Another thought. Would it be possible to boot your machine in target disk mode and update your software using a friend's Mac? I'm sure there are others here who can better answer that question.
    Hope this helps.
    Andy

  • Why can't I see reviews for app updates on iPad 3rd gen since iOS 7 update?

    Why can't I see reviews for app updates on iPad 3rd gen since iOS 7 update?

    AAfter an hour with Apple chat, I figured out what to do on my own.  When the iPhone and iPad go to autolock, press home key and do not open- streaming will be on the screen and I turned it back on.  No more stops.
