  • How to upgrade Ipad 1 to iOS 5.1.1

    When trying to upgrade apps, get message to upgrade to iOS 5.1.1
    How do I do that

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 7.1.2. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.
    You can no longer update to iOS 6.x, or down grade the iOS.

    iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
    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 antivirus 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 7.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.
    To upgrade using iTunes:
    First, connect your iPad to your PC or Mac using the cable provided when you purchased your device. This will allow iTunes to communicate with your iPad.
    You will also need the latest version of iTunes. Don't worry, you will be prompted to download the latest version when you launch iTunes. Once it installs, you may be asked to setup iCloud by logging into your iTunes account. If you have a Mac, you may be prompted on whether or not you want to enable the Find my Mac feature.
    Now you are ready to begin the process:
    If you upgraded iTunes earlier, go ahead and launch it. (For many, it will launch automatically when you plug in your iPad.)
    Once iTunes is launched, it should automatically detect that a new version of the operating system exists and prompt you to upgrade to it. Choose Cancel. Before updating, you will want to manually sync your iPad to make sure everything is up to date.
    After canceling the dialog box, iTunes should automatically sync with your iPad.
    If iTunes doesn't automatically sync, you can manually do it by selecting your iPad within iTunes, clicking on the File menu and choosing Sync iPad from the list.
    After your iPad has been synced to iTunes, select your iPad within iTunes. You can find it on the left side menu under Devices.
    From the iPad screen, click on the Update button.
    After verifying that you want to update your iPad, the process will begin. It takes a few minutes to update the operating system during which time your iPad may reboot a few times.
    After updating, you may be asked a few questions when your device finally boots back up. This is to account for new settings and features.

  • How I upgrade iPad 1software to iOS 6.0

    I can not down load Facebook  linkeden all ask for iOS 6

    You can't update a first gen iPad to iOS 6 or 7, if it's on iOS 5.1.1 then it's on the highest version that it supports.
    Some developers allow you to download previous compatible versions of their apps. You could try downloading the current version of the Facebook app on your computer's iTunes so that the app is in your purchase history, and then on your iPad go to the Purchased tab in the App Store app and see if you can download an older compatible version of it

  • How to upgrade ipad 1 to ios7.

    How to upgrade iPad 1 to iOS 7 software

    This is a very old argument/issue.
    The original iPad hasn't been able to use a newer iOS version since iOS 6 came out almost 2 years, ago.
    The original iPad simply does not have necessary hardware and RAM capacity to handle any of the newer iOS versions.
    The original iPad is grossly underpowered to run any newer iOS versions and newer apps.
    This is price early iPad adopters' had to pay (myself included).
    Newer iPads after the original iPad have better/powerful CPUs and more RAM capacity.
    The original iPad only had 256 MBs of RAM.
    The iPad 2 has 512 MBs of RAM.
    The newer iPads now have, at least 1 GB of bulit-in RAM and even more powerful CPUs, now.
    If you want to take advantage of the latest iOS and upcoming iOS 8, you need to upgrade to either a newer/refurbed iPad or brand new, up to date iPad models.
    It's that simple.

    I bought my iPad off a friend and it is hacked. I can't upgrade the software to iOS 5.1 it says unable to update. And something about me not being eligible. I need help please

    If the device is jail broken - and the message is that the iPad is not eligible for the requested build - there are tons of articles on the internet that discuss how to fix the iPad. Use Google.

    How to Upgrade to iOS 7
    The iOS 7.0 update requires around 2.5 GB of storage space, so if your iPad is almost full, you may need to clear up some space. You can check your available space in Settings -> General -> Usage.
    There are two ways to upgrade to iOS 7: You can use your Wi-Fi connection, or you can connect your iPad to your PC and update through iTunes. We'll go over each method.
    To upgrade using Wi-Fi:
    Note: If your iPad's battery is under 50%, you will want to plug it into your charger while performing the update.
    Go into the iPad's Settings.
    Locate and tap "General" from the menu on the left.
    The second option from the top is "Software Update". Tap this to move into the update settings.
    Tap "Download and Install". This will start the upgrade, which will take several minutes and will reboot your iPad during the process. If the Download and Install button is grayed out, trying clearing up some space. The space required by the update is mostly temporary, so you should gain most of it back after iOS 7 is installed.
    Once the update is installed, you may have to run through the initial steps of setting up your iPad again. This is to account for new features and settings.
    To upgrade using iTunes:
    First, connect your iPad to your PC or Mac using the cable provided when you purchased your device. This will allow iTunes to communicate with your iPad.
    You will also need the latest version of iTunes. Don't worry, you will be prompted to download the latest version when you launch iTunes. Once it installs, you may be asked to setup iCloud by logging into your iTunes account. If you have a Mac, you may be prompted on whether or not you want to enable the Find my Mac feature.

  • Since I updated my IPad software to iOS 5.0.1 from 5.0, I cannot access some web sites. Hoy can I go back?

    Since I updated my IPad software to iOS 5.0.1 from 5.0, I cannot access some web sites. How can I go back?

    Sorry, you cannot downgrade iOS software.
    First thing to try is a reboot of your iPad. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appear. Let go of the buttons and let the iPad restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • I updated my iPad software to IOS 5, and now it doesn't see my WiFi. The IP addresses seem to be different on my "Sanders Family" network on my iPad than what shows up on my desktop

    Help. I just updated my iPhone and iPad software to IOS 5. Now my iPad isn't connecting to my WiFi. It "sees" it, and the network name even shows up under WiFi, but it's like it just keeps grinding and grinding. Sometimes it will let me click on the network and see the IP address. When I can see it, the address on my iPad is different from the one showing up on my desktop, but I can't figure out how to change it on my iPad. Any suggestions to get me hooked back into my wireless network?

    If the problem persists after you reboot as suggested by Ralph:
    Trouble connecting usually means interference, or another WiFi on the same channel.
    If you have any cordless phones, keyboards, or cameras, check what frequency they use.
    From a MAC or Windows machine you can see what channel each of the available networks are using.  Make sure your network is on a channel nobody else nearby is also using.

  • How to update ipad 2 to ios 5.1

    hello,
    i want to know how to update ipad 2 to ios 5.1

    Since this is posted twice, the other post of the question, Barry, says iOS 4.3 is current iOS version...so the way to update is via iTunes on a computer.  As Barry says, once a version of iOS at or above 5.0 is installed the update can be done wireless.
