HT4623 why wont my ipad 1 update to ios 6.1.2?

i have the first ipad 64 gyg and its ios is 5.1. why wont it update to ios 6.1.2?

It's probably due to the RAM and processor limitations.
iPad: RAM - 256MB, Processor - 1 GHz Apple A4
iPad 2: RAM - 512MB, Processor - 1GHz dual-core Apple A5
iPad 3: RAM 1024MB, Processor - 1GHz dual-core Apple A5X
iPad Mini: RAM - 512MB, Processor - 1GHz dual-core Apple A5
iPad 4: RAM - 1024MB, Processor - 1.4GHz dual-core Apple A6X with quad-core graphics

  • Why wont my iPad update past iOS 5.1.1??

    I have an iPad original that is currently running iOS 5.1.1 that says it is currently up to date, however apps that need to be updated say they can't without iOS 6 or higher.  I have even restored it back to its factory settings and still nothing.  Has my apple product become obsolete??

    It's incapable of running iOS 6 or newer, or application versions which require iOS 6.

  • HT4623 why does my ipad say its ios is up to date but i havent updated it to ios7

    why does my ipad say its ios is up to date but i havent updated it to ios7

    First generation iPads cannot be upgraded to iOS 7.  Which generation do you have?

  • 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,

    There are other easier ways also.

  • 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.

  • Ipad 2 wont restore after updating to ios 7

    Hello pinky03,

  • Why wont my iPad connect to the closest/strongest wifi?

    Why wont my iPad connect to the closest/strongest wifi at home? It alway defaults to the one upstairs even when I am right next to our extender in the kitchen?

    Try #5.
    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.

    Because iOS 7 runs on iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch.

  • Why wont my ipad connect to wifi ???

    why wont my ipad connect to wifi ???

    You just aren't suppling us with enough information.  Are you trying to connect to the WiFi at home or at work?  Will other WiFi devices connect successfully with that WiFi access-point?  Is your WiFi access point showing up on the list of available access points when you're trying to connect to it from the iPad, or are you being forced to manually enter it in?  We really need more info about your specific situation before we can help.
    Thanks,
    L.
