  • HT4623 why cant i update my ipad

    I am not sure which Ipad I have (I suspect the oldest version possible) but it will not allow me to update the software on it. Any ideas?

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1.3. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
    Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.

  • Why cant i charge my ipad 1st generation on my macbook 2006

    My daughter gave me her 1st generation ipad which is in mint condition but she couldnt send me the wall charger.  She also sent me a macbook 2006 which works great except the battery needs replaced.  I have an apple ipod classic and the usb cord but I can get the mac to recognize the ipad but display says not charging.  Is it charging or  do I need a specific ipad charger?  I was able to connect it to my old computer but it would only charge to 40% because i dont have the right amount of power.

    The MacBook more than likely does not supply enough power through the USB post to charge the iPad either. That's a 7 year old computer and that would be my guess. Apple includes that wall charger for a reason, and that's because they recommend charging that way.
    You can purchase the power adapter just about anywhere that sells electronics .... Online at the Apple Store, Amazon, eBay, etc.

  • 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:

    why I cannot update my ipad from 5.1.1 to latest versions? Some of the apps wouldn't work on the 5.1.1 .  To buy a new ipad,would be a rip off. What is the solution?

    The original iPad does not have the memory and processing power to run more recent version of the iOS. 5.1.1 is the latest it can run.

    Hello Hana-Morris,
    I would be be concerned too if I was not able to update my iPhone.  If you have not resolved the issue, I recommend following the steps in the article below for an issue like this:

    Did you backup the iPad first? If you did - restore from the backup in order to restore the photos in the Saved Album on your iPad. If the photos were synced to the iPad, then sync them back again via iTunes.

    If you did backup first, you will be restoring your most recent backup and you should be OK. But know that when you restore from a backup, you restore everything that is in that backup onto the iPad .... All documents, device settings, all data and so on. You cannot just select photos to restore to the iPad. It's all or nothing.
