How does someone who has a 1st generation iPad but no computer update to the current operating system?

You take the iPad to someone or somewhere where you can update the device using iTunes on a computer. There is no other way to do it. You must use iTunes on a computer.
Apple Stores will update the device for you. Make an appointment at an Apple Store for help.

How can I restore my iPhone 3Gs after I tried to update to the new operating system.

I tried to upgrade my 3Gs to the new operating system(IOS5) and I got some kind of unknown error. I told iTunes to do the back up before doing the upgrade. The phone is stuck in restore mode with the "connect to iTunes" logo displayed.
I have the latest version of iTunes on my computer. I've restarted my computer. The iTunes doesnt seem to see the iPhone, but when I connect the phone to the computer I hear the recognition jingle by the comoputer, the one you hear when when a piece of equipment is connected to the computer. In addition, when i look at "my computer" I dont see the iPhone in the selections of items connected to the computer.
I have tried all the reset proceducures with turning the phone off and using the home key.
Does anybody have any suggestions?

HT5457 New app upgrades put 1st gen Ipad users out in the cold - Recently DirecTV and The Blaze both upgraded their ipad apps so that only ios 6 and above were compatible - anyone who has a 1st gen ipad cannot upgrade to ios 6 - what is up with this Appl

So 1st gen ipad users are basiclly left out in the cold unless they go out an buy a new IPad - of course DTV and The Blaze are blaming Apple and Apple is blaming them - what is the deal Apple - I pay for my subscription to The Blaze in order to have it on my IPad and now I can't even use it - same with DTV - so is Apple now forcing people to buy upgraded devices thru their apps that will no longer support the older generations - what a joke this is and bad business.

Unfortunately software always moves faster than hardware.
Apple's not going to change things. You can try talking to those two app developers and have them make their older versions available.
Beyond that, if you wish to express yourself directly to Apple, http://www.apple.com/feedback/
This is just a user to user forum, so there's nothing anyone here can do for you I'm afraid.

TS3367 Since updating to the new operating system I have had some issues with FaceTime. When calling my Dad through FaceTime I have gotten someone else using my Dad's email. This has happened on at least 4 occasions. Has anybody else had this problem?

Has anyone had an issue contacting someone through FaceTime? Sometimes when I try to call my Dad I get a different party ( someone I don' t know). This has happened when calling fro IPad (3) And IPhone 5s.

In the terminal I go to /volumes/some_folder/test and I type "chmod 4711 test" so that the C++ program will be run as the admin account I'm logged in with. This admin account has privileges to create folders in /volumes/some_folder/test.
I vaguely recall something about this - isn't it related to the execution of setuid scripts?
There's a whole discussion on the security implications of doing this. It's generally not considered safe.
It might be worth reading http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/suexec.html for details of how to implement setuid within Apache.

Does anyone know if I can print to hp photosmart 5510 from my 1st generation ipad if I can't download the drivers for the printer?

Am trying to set up an HP Photosmart printer and it is proving much more complicated than I'd expected. I don't seem to be able to download to my ipad from the HP website - does anyone know how I manage to print, or get my ipad to recognidse the printer, if I've no printer software downloaded?
Thanks, in anticipation, for your help

You can't download drivers, or any other software, via a browser on the iPad. If the printer isn't the HP Photosmart 5510 e-AiO B111a which supports AirPrint, and it also isn't supported by HP's ePrint app, then you can see if any of the third-party printer apps such as Print Central For iPad or Print n Share work with it.

HT1296 How do I get calendar entries made in iPad to sync and update on the computer? Changes I make on the computer sync properly on the iPad, but not visa versa.

Hi iPad users - I seem to have this problem with both the iPhone and iPad. I can make entries onto my computers calendar and they will sync properly on either the iPad or iPhone, but when I enter new information on the iPad or iPhone, which is usually the case, syncing does not result in transfer of updated information from my devices calendar to the computer's calendar. What am I missing here? Thanks!

Same problem as TrailJim, but 4 related problems...
Synced data did NOT xfer to Mac from iPhone (did xfer the other way). I rechecked settings and synced again. Still none of the info from iPhone went to computer.
But now I have FOUR COPIES of some calendar items, three copies of some and two copies of others in the iPhone. There are hundreds, possibly thousands of duplicates going back several years and reaching into the future. Many of these dupes were not on the Mac at all- the system duplicated items that were only on the iPhone.
It takes 15 seconds to delete each duplicate item (five 'clicks', two scrolls)- there is no bulk delete option. Duplicates will take hours to remove. It was only 3 months ago I finished cleaning out the duplicates from the last sync. OK, I cleaned cleaned out 1 year of data in about 1.4 hours. I noticed that data deleted long ago re-appeared after the sync. The iOS calendar crashed twice and the entire iPhone crashed once during editing.
And still it won't xfer calendar items from iPhone to Mac. So these are the 5 problems:
data won't transfer from iPhone to Mac
massive duplication of data during sync
no way to quickly remove duplicates
deleted data never goes away
iOS device crashes during massive editing
After 4 years Apple still can't get sync right. Are there any workarounds? A paper calendar would save hours of work every year. A Google calendar would probably work more reliably if you don't mind sharing your personal data with them. Not to mention all the other data- contacts, music, etc that people have lost with this sync system.

I need to update my 1st gen IPad but have no update short cut in setting,any ideas

I need to update my IPad 1st gen to iOS 4.3, but in General Settings there is no Update bar....any ideas? Thanks

If you have any iOS prior to 5 (which you do) you have to plug your device into your syncing computer and use iTunes to update the operating system.
The ability to update over the air comes with iOS5

Verizon for one you have very bad customer service, for two why does someone who has a one year warranty have to go into the store to replace my samsung galaxy s4 phone, when all it has done for months is over heat?

I dont understand why i would need to go into the store for a replacement phone when i have had my phone under one year just because i have had it under one year. My phone has been over heating and i been trying to get a replacement phone, but i dont really have time to go in the store and i really dont see why i can replace my phone over the phone after one year.
oh and your customer service sucks.
Thank you

Broke new phone Verizon couldn't help even give me form for insurance I pay for in their stores.Seperate corp.Had no Internet waited 2 weeks mail me form.They suck.Did run across 1 dude finially knew his stuff and personally handeled many problems.It was after most working there didn't took me month replacement phone mailed.If customers service person seems new ask for someone can fix problems asap.

How do i update to the latest operating system on my imac

I have been trying to install Adobe LR5 and it is telling me i dont have the necessary system req. I have checked and believe this is because i am running MAC OS X 10.6.8. I have run the software update tab and it says I'm up to date!
What is the latest OS and how do I upgrade to it please
Cheers
Paul

Your current OS X version meets Adobe Lightroom 5 requirements.
Maybe you do not have enough RAM installled and/or enough free hard drive data storage space.
Here are the Mac system requirements for Adobe Lightroom 5 for Mac.

How do I get features to show up in General Settings like iCloud and FaceTime and Location services to show up for Siri?

SADLY not as i downloaded an upgrad to my original PAGES/
i have in the meantim had to open www.icloud. then from there import the file that i am working on and then check on ipad if it uploaded/ yes it did.
but what a waste of time as it doesn not save any changes done automatically back in the cloud....
i am now downloading the new LION and hope that it will fix the problem
i cant find any other way. I was lead to believe that you wrote, it saved automatically, on to the cloud, you then opened anohter device in anotother country even, and the new file was there, waiting, in its latest version.......
and the same magic was supposed to happen in reverse.
It doesn't/
if i have to open a browser, go to www.icloud....why on earth did they not just leave us an icon to drop it in in that case?
I hope the new lion will help resolve the isssue/
any other ideas> keep em coming...thank you so much.

I have lost iPhoto , was advised if I updated to the newest operating system Maverick that iPhoto would reload but it hasn't worked, any ideas how I can retrieve it without laying?

any idea iron suggestions please?

This screenshot shows which previous versions of iPhoto are compatible with Mavericks. It also indicates which versions qualify for a free upgrade to iPhoto 9.5.1 and which require a purchase:
Note 1: every day more users are reporting problems with iPhoto 8.1.2 so I've included it in the non compatible category.
Note 2: If your previous version of iPhoto was iPhoto 7 (08) or earlier you'll need to download and run the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 application on the library before opening it with iPhoto 9.5.1.
If you don't have a backup of your hard drive from before you upgraded to Mavericks where you can restore the previous version of iPhoto (if it's compatible with Mavericks) you'll need to either use the disks that came with the Mac (if there were any) or an iLife 11 disk or purchse from the App Store.

Back up and Reset Question, 1st Generation iPad

If I back-up my 1st generation iPad to Cloud and then reset the iPad, will I recover all apps that were on the iPad when I sync to Cloud after the reset? Thanks!

Welcome to Apple Communities
No. It will download the apps

Is there a way to increase the icon size (and the text below) without using zoom? I am trying to help out someone who has moderate visual impairment that does not want to use zoom just to see the icons and their labels.

Is there a way to increase the icon size (and the text below) without using zoom in iOS 7? I am trying to help out someone who has moderate visual impairment that does not want to use zoom just to see the icons and their labels.

Hello Apple.
It seems you have gone to great lengths to improve accessibility in many areas of the iPad. Why was this obvious problem with icon text size missed? (It's not with the Mac.). And for so long too.
Do you employ people with actual accessibility problems to help you do UI design?
I think too, that some buttons are too close for people who might have motor control problems.
I love my iPad but I fear as I age, the iPad might not keep up with me.
