  • I have the first generation iPad, how do I get the software update iOS 6?

    I have the first generation iPad and I'm trying to download apps but my device keeps telling me to download the iOS software update 6. When I go to updates in my settings it's saying my device is up to date with iOS 5.1.1, but it's saying I need the iOS 6. How do I upgrade my device if it's not showing iOS update 6?

    The first generation iPad cannot be updated past iOS 5.1.1
    You may still be able to get compatible versions fo the Apps by downloading the App to iTunes on a computer or another device that does support the current  App version using the same Apple Id you have on your iPad. With that done you can follow these instructions from your iPad to get a compatible version:
    App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app

  • Can the first generation iPad handle iOS 5

    I know with Mac computers after awhile the models cannot support the newest OS. Is this the same with iPads yet and if so can the first generation iPad handle iOS 5?

    as an owner of a first gen iPad running iOS 5.1, I can tell you with absolute certainty, that the first gen iPad is completely capable of running iOS 5. I have been running iOS 5 since the day it was released with no problems.

  • Opinions about the first generation iPad?

    Hi-
    I've been considering purchasing the first generation iPad vs. spending more on the iPad 2.  I don't think I would be an iPad "power user" - basically just want one so that I can check email and surf the web.  Who's using the first generation iPad and what do you think of it with iOS5?  Any issues I should be aware of? 
    Thanks!

    The first generation iPad can only be found used at this point... I have no problem using mine with iOS5, but others have complained about it.
    Keep your eye on March 7 - Apple has announced a "media event" featuring a picture of the iPad which could (nobody here could say for sure) be the introduction of a 3rd generation iPad. If so, it is possible that the iPad2 price will be lowered, or that it would be a good time to get a used iPad1 or 2 from someone looking to sell their old model and buy a new one.

  • 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.

  • I love a game name Magic line on the first generation IPAD but now I can not download this Magic line on the app store for my new iPad Air. How can I transfer the game on OLD IPAD to my New IPAD Air ??

  • Every app I try to download says I need iOS 6 or higher I have the first generation iPad what can I do?

    I have a first generation iPad every app I try to download says I need iOS 6.0 or higher to use it is there anything I can do?

    Some apps will let you run on a lower version of iOS.  Here's how to find out if the ones you want will run on your iPad.
    1.  Open iTunes on your computer and go to the App Store
    2.  Download the apps you want to your iTunes account in iTunes
    3.  On your iPad, tap the App Store
    4.  Tap the purchased tab
    5.  The apps you downloaded to your iTunes account on your computer will be listed with a cloud icon next to them.
    6.  Tap the cloud and if the app will run on a lower version of iOS, it will give you the option to download a version that will run on your iPad.  If the app doesn't give you the option, there's nothing you can do.

  • I just purchased a lightning sd card reader for my iPad, but it does not fit..it's for fourth gen...opps..I've now had to order the camera kit for third gen model...will I need both or do I return the first one

    Hi i just purchased an sd card reader but it's for fourth gen iPad...pops. I've now ordered the camera kit for the third gen ....do I need both somehow or do I just return the lightening ad reader I purchased first. I rang apple support and swear I was told keep both, but if the camera kit is all I need...I don't see the point in keeping the fourth gen one, since it won't fit? Confused...ita a fourteen day refund so I need to act fast...any help?

    There's no reaso to keep the Lightning version if your iPad can't support it. Unless you have some other devcie that can use it, like an iPad Mini or an iPhone 5.
    Otherwise return it.

  • HT5278 Is the first generation iPad still secure?

  • I have the first generation iPad it crashes with the 5.0 safari what do I do?

    What can I do with this problem

    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.
    If the problem continues I'd take yourvipad to an Apple Store for a consultation.
