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.

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 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....

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.

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.

Why doesn't acrobat reader have reflow view in iOS as it has in android.

Why doesn't acrobat reader have reflow view in iOS as it has in android.

That's a good question. Besides some form enhancements, it is the #1 feature I'd like to see added. It was actually removed from the Android version a while back but was then restored. Someone on the mobile Reader team has mentioned that they will consider adding it to Reader for iOS if there is enough demand, so consider submitting a feature request. I think I'll take my own advice...

Why is my ipad2 really slow after updating to IOS 6.1.2

Why is my ipad2 really slow after updating to IOS 6.1.2

Try this.
Quit all apps completely and reboot the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Why can't I use siri after updated to ios 6.1

why can't I use siri after updated to ios 6.1

Check your settings to make sure Siri is actually enabled. Sometimes I find that Siri will disable during the updating process. Oh, and it should be iOS 6.0 not 6.1. 6.1 doesn't exist...yet.

My iphone 5 has restored to an old backup after updating to ios 7 is there any way of getting my stuff back as this has now become the most recent back up?

also since the update it keeps resetting itself? i had a lot of stuff on there that i really wanted and alot of important info lost? please help!!

You might be able to remove the recent backup from the backups folder and the old one should be usable at that point
USE EXTREAME CAUTION WHEN ACCESS THE FILES AND DO NOT DELETE ANYTHING
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Note: The "~" represents your Home folder. If you don't see Library in your home folder, Option-click the Go menu.
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and click OK.
Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\

HT4623 Why doesn't my iPad recognize an update to iOS 7? When I try to update, it says, "iOS 5.1.1 Your software is up to date."

Why doesn't my iPad recognize an update to iOS 7? When I try to update, it says, "iOS 5.1.1 Your software is up to date."

Because you have a 1st generation iPad and iOS 5.1.1 is the last update for it.
It will not get any further iOS updates beyond 5.1.1
iOS 7 requires at least an iPad 2

If an Update Appears Install it... if not... you are up to date for your particular Device...

The iPad 1 can only update to iOS 5

HT4623 Why doesn't my ipad2 show that ios 6 is available for download?

Why doesn't my ipad2 show that ios 6 is available for download? 5.1.1 is what I have now.

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.
