No updates available for my 1st generation Ipad 3G but application won't work without an update. WHat do I Do?

I recently updated all the applications on my ipad. Now the direct TV app won't load. It's requesting an IOS upgrade. How do I continue to use the app when there is not an upgrade available for my device?

You may be able to get the last compatible version of the App for your iPad if the Developer has one available.
http://www.macrumors.com/2013/09/17/apple-begins-offering-last-compatible-versio n-of-apps-for-users-running-legacy-versions-of-ios/
You may need to download the newest version to a compatible device first using the same Apple ID or to a computer running iTunes again using the same Apple ID. Then you should be given the option to download the latest compatible version for your First generation iPad when you tap on the install button in the App store on your iPad.

HT4623 Now that iOS is consistently being updated. Will the 1st Generation IPad be stuck with IOS 5? Eventually my IPad will be good for nothing as Apps start requiring the updated software.

Now that iOS is consistently being updated. Will the 1st Generation IPad be stuck with IOS 5? Eventually my IPad will be good for nothing as Apps start requiring the updated software.

The iPad 1 can only be updated to iOS 5.1.1. This is unlikely to change.
The apps you have will continue to work and there are still many apps which run on iOS 5 (or even earlier iOS levels).

HT1695 I have the 1st generation iPad. All of a sudden it will not connect to my wi-fi. It finds my wi-fi, but will not totally connect. I have done everything...reset network, rebooted router etc and it still will not connect. Any suggestions?

I have the 1st generation iPad. All of a sudden it will not connect to my wi-fi. It finds my wi-fi, but will not totally connect. I have done everything...reset network, rebooted router etc and it still will not connect. My other divices are connected....iPhone and 3 Macs. Any suggestions?

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

OK, so I have the 1st generation iPad. There is an AirPlay symbol, near the music symbol. Is this useless? If I enable it, what does it enable? And, what technological advances were made over the last 2 versions that have made my iPad 1, obsolete?
Thanks for the enlightenment!

My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

HT4623 Can you update the 1st generation IPad to IOS 6?

Can I update my 1st generation IPad to IOS 6?

Sorry, no. iOS 5.1.1 is the highest possible for that model.

I have the 1st generation iPad the last month or so it has started crashing all the time.

I have the 1st gen iPad. For the last month or so it keeps shutting down. What can I do ?

Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Also, try Deleting any Apps you have Purchased / Downloaded but you now never use...
If no joy...
Connect to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and “ Restore “...

Help!! "timed out network connection" at the end of the iOS5 update for my 1st generation Ipad.

I have been attempting to update my first generation Ipad to iOS5 for two days. I continue to get the message "network connection timed out" The updates have been for 3 hours, 4 hours, 30 minutes, 20 minutes and now 10 hours. They all download and at the end when the file starts processing the timed out message pops up. I have disabled virus software, did not work. I have used the internet at both home and office, hard wired internet, wireless internet.........nothing works. Deleted temporary internet files. Very frustrated. What am I doing wrong?

When you get anything that says your network connection timed out it either means you lost internet connection or there is something blocking the connection between the computer and the servers that it is trying to connect to.
If you have a solid internet connection and can browse to websites fine it's either an anti-virus program or a firewall on the computer OR a firewall in the router's settings that you use to connect to the internet.
Reconfigure any security software to allow Apple's servers to pass.
Useful information for configuring your security software:
IMPORTANT: iTunes must be allowed to contact Apple using the following ports and servers:
          ▪          port 80
          ▪          port 443
          ▪          phobos.apple.com, deimos3.apple.com, albert.apple.com, gs.apple.com, itunes.apple.com, ax.itunes.apple.com, ax.init.itunes.apple.com, ax.phobos.apple.com.edgesuite.net
iTunes uses well known ports and these ports may need to be opened for iTunes: 80, 443, 3689, 5297, 5298, 5353, 8000-8999, and 42000-42999.
iTunes also contacts VeriSign servers during an iPhone restore and activation:
          ▪          evintl-ocsp.verisign.com
          ▪          evsecure-ocsp.verisign.com
For more information see Update and restore alert messages on iPhone and iPod touch
Temporarily disable or uninstall your security software
If the current available version of your security software is incompatible with iTunes, you can disable the security software and test if it is the source of the issue. It might also be necessary to temporarily uninstall security software after making sure you can reinstall it and note any required licenses. A temporary deinstallation might be required because parts of some security software remain active in the background though they appear to be deactivated.
To reduce any security risks that security software is designed to prevent, consider making sure all files needed to reinstall it are available and disconnect network connections before uninstalling security software. Should this not be possible, such as if a download without active security software is required, that required step should be the only process completed without security software. For assistance in checking your configuration, disabling, or uninstalling your security software, please contact the manufacturer.
Once disabled or uninstalled, perform only the steps required to verify your issue has been resolved. Complete whatever update, restore, syncing, back up, activation, or other task you were troubleshooting. Once that task is complete, install and configure compatible security software to ensure your PC is protected.
If it isn't a program or software on the computer contact your Internet Service Provider and/or Router Company to configure or disable the firewall in the router settings.
To isolate the issue to this you can also try disconnecting the router and plugging your computer directly in to the modem but this does not help for troubleshooting time-out issues directly on any apple mobile devices only if you are syncing or going through iTunes on the computer.

HT4972 Can the first generation iPad upload to iOS 5?

Could the first generation of the iPad upgrade to iOS 5 and still have all the apps because I got some of the apps on a special deal but in order to download this other app it needs iOS 5 and I want to keep the rest of the apps I have or else I'll have to start all over.......

Yes. The iPad 1 can go to 5.1.1.
iOS 5: Updating your device to iOS 5

HT4623 Can you update the 1st generation IPad? Because most of my games are IOS6 and I want to play it using ios7.

It get on my nerves when I enter games that arent IOS5+. Please update it.

The iPad 1 can not be upgraded beyond 5.1.1.

How can I acquire adobe software for my 1st generation iPad?

I was told that if I contact Adobe, they would help me obtain older software for my iPad that isn't allowed to update past 5.1.1.
How can I get them?

I sincerely doubt that's possible. The iOS operating system doesn't allow downloading older versions of software from the App Store, and software creators for the iOS are not allowed to distribute software outside of the App Store (except for testing purposes).

Are there games that still work for a 1st generation iPad?

I bought one recently and am having a hard time finding any that will still work. Is there a list somewhere?

Try the link from this site to search for them : https://sites.google.com/site/appleclubfhs/support/advice-and-articles/finding-a pps-for-older-devices#5.1.1
e.g. apps requiring iOS 5.1.1 or lower.

HT5007 How do I get gmail app update loaded to my ipad3G. My 4G iPad automatically loaded it when I selected that I wanted it installed. But my 1st generation iPad gmail won't open now and I want to install the gmail update and I can't find it in the app

How is iOS 8.3 on the 1st gen iPad Mini?

First off, I almost never update my iOS because I'm always terrified it will make my devices sluggish. And since I can't afford to get the latest and greatest Apple upgrade whenever they release a new one it too adds to my anxiety of upgrading iOS software on my older devices.
I really couldn't find anything about how performance is on the 1st generation iPad Mini. So I'll give you my specs and preferably if someone has experience with at least the same generation and gb then let me know how the upgrade worked out for you. Especially as far as sluggishness goes. Switching apps, etc. Most likely I'll be directly upgrading to iOS 8.3 since I'm still on iOS 7.1.2.
iPad Mini (1st generation)
16gb, wifi only
Uses: Apps, photos, and web surfing
Songs: 6, Videos: 1, Photos: 750, Apps: 96
Capacity: 13.4gb
Available: 1.1gb
Version: 7.1.2 (11D257)
Model: MD531LL/A

Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities
I also own a 1st generation iPad Mini and i'll admit iOS 8 doesn't feel as "snappy" as it did with iOS 7. That being said I think it works fine with 8.3 and there has been some major improvements since the first version of iOS 8.

Does the 1 generation IPAD have to download IOS5

I have the 1st generation IPAD and I have the net flix and line2 apps on my device and when it's that time to update it tells me that I
Need IOS 5.0 or later. What sould I do.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Connect the device to the computer and iTunes will ask you to update the iPad to the most recent version
