HT4972 can ipad (not ipad 2) be upgraded to iOS 5?

can ipad (not ipad 2) be upgraded to ios 5?  I have tried but it does not seem to work.  However, when I opened ibooks on my ipad, it automatically asked if I wanted to upgrade to ios 5.  The choices were either  yes or cancel.  I touched yes.  Whenever I try to download an ibook, I get a message that it requires ios 5 to download book.  And, my former downloaded ibooks are gone. 

Plug your pad 1 into your computer running the current version of I tunes, then select software upgrade.  It will move your pad to its 5.1.
Make sure you transfer purchases, upload photos and make a copy of any important documents and spreadsheets in case something goes wonky.

  • Upgraded to iOS 7 but ipad not logging to internet, upgraded to iOS 7 but ipad not logging to internet

    would like some advice regarding this thanks.

    First check your internet services if you can with another device. If that works ok with it
    Try a Restart. 
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
     Resetting your settings
    You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
    Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple. 
    Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

  • IPad mini retina. After upgrade to iOS 8 and after to 8.0.2 I can't use my iPad because of wifi problem!

    After upgrade to iOS 8 and after to 8.0.2 I can't use my iPad because of wifi problem

    I am having a similar experience.  Since upgrading my Ipad 2 to iOS 8 and then iOS 8.0.2 I have not been able to use wifi consistently and it is very frustrating.  I can no longer watch any video because the wifi shuts down and won't come back without a complete reboot of the iPad. And forget about consistent bluetooth!  My ipad worked perfect before the "upgrade" to iOS 8 and beyond but now it is really worthless.  I have spent a lot of time and have tried every fix that I have read about online and NOTHING has corrected the problems created by the upgrade.  After spending a lot of time trying to resolve this I am certain the problem is the buggy "upgrade" but I feel like no one at Apple is listening.  I have always loved Apple products but this rotten Apple experience is making me think about exploring what else is out there.  Apple folks, I recommend getting this fixed quick or your stockholders won't be smiling!

    How do I fix my iPad if it won't upgrade to iOS 5? I have iTunes on here and every thing else I need what do I do?

    The option to update without the computer (Over the air) was made available with iOS 5. 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.

    Also read the instructions from the section entitled "Update your device using iTunes" at the link below.

    Information regarding transferring purchases from your iDevice to iTunes on your syncing computer can be found at the link below.

  • I can't update my apps after upgrade to iOS 6...?

    I can't update my apps after upgrade to iOS 6

    Are you sure you have a proper Internet connection? Make sure your iPod is connected to your computer, and you have an Internet connection.
    Don't even get me started on the iPod Touch 5G, I actually own an iPod Touch 4G, and I've considered a lot about if I should get the new one. At first look, you might be sold by the features Apple has on their iPod Touch page. It has a taller screen that's a 4-inch Retina Display, has a much better camera with a flash, and comes with iOS 6 preinstalled with Siri. But the real breakthrough comes with the new connector. It's called Lighting, and it's much smaller. But if you have a dock connector that comes with some cars, and maybe a set of speakers or docking stations as alarm clocks, I encourage you not to get the new one. The usage of your old connectors requires a $30 adapter, which is a ridiculous price. And who knows how secure the adapters will be with your docking stations? I personally think Apple has crossed the line. If they are to put a new connector with their new products, they should ship with an adapter in the box, at least at first. This is why I strongly encourage you NOT to get the new 5th generation iPod Touch.
    Sorry if I went a little off-topic there, but I wanted to get my point across. For your updating to iOS 6, I reccommend you check out other discussions in the support comunity, and see what other contributors have to say. Or go on Google and search your error messages, possibly someone might've already went through the same problem as you did. I really hope this helped!

  • HT1688 My iphone 5 does not ring anymore after upgrading to ios 7.0.2

    My iphone 5 does not ring anymore after upgrading to ios 7.0.2.  It did not happen right away, but maybe 2 weeks ago.  I tried turning the "do not disturb" on and add allow everyone to call as well as turning it off but it only vibrates when calls come in.  I also turned my phone off and it still only vibrates when calls and messages come in.

    I found another feed and said there is a silent button next to volume bar.  That was the problem.

  • Can't access certain things after upgrading to iOS 8.1.2 on iPad

    Just upgraded my iPad to iOS 8.1.2 and now, cannot connect to the App Store, iTunes Store, do an iCloud back up, or even open up Facebook for an app. Password is correct. Surely it does not take 12+ hours to update? What gives? Thanks.

    Hello razmee209.  Thank you for your response.  I spent the better part of yesterday working with Apple Support.  They tried their best, to include backing up photos to my HP laptop, backing up the iPad to iCloud, then resetting the iPad in total.  Same problem.  I restored from the cloud to recover my apps, same problem.
    AT&T installed a new sim card - same problem.  I spent time with AT&T Support yesterday, too.  In both cases, (Apple and AT&T) the support techs who worked with me were extremely polite, courteous and helpful to the best of their abilities, but I think the problem lies deeper, and nobody at Apple is admitting they have a problem with iOS 8, that I'm aware of.
    I didn't have this issue before I upgraded to iOS 8.1.2.
    Everything else with the iPad works fine:  WIFI, Personal Hotspot, email, all my apps, etc.
    In browsing the web for this issue I see that many other folks have the same problem.  I filed a report with Apple this morning, requesting that they contact me, but no word yet.  I was going to go to iPhone 6, and had been considering the iPad Air 2, but I see reports of this problem with those units as well.
    At this point I don't think I'll be spending any more money with Apple, at least not till this issue is resolved.
    Thanks again for your response and suggestions.
