I have an Early 2011 MacBook Pro from Early 2011 that is a 13-inch model... why won't it support airplay? why can't I get a software update to allow it to work?
About AirPlay and Airplay Mirroring
AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer). For non-qualifying Macs you can try using Air Parrot.

Thanks to the $15 Beamer, AirPlay streaming is still possible on Macs that do not support Airplay and mirroring.
Another solution is the Air Parrot. -

Under About, what version do you have? The Software Update option in Settings was not introduced until iOS 5.0.

HT4623 Why can't I see a software update button on my iPad?
I'd like to update my iPad but can't figure out how. There's no " software update" button in my settings.
If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1.3. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

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 anitvirus 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 6.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.

my first gen ipad says that there isn't a software update, currently running 5.1.1 - is iOS6 not available for the first generation iPad

HT4623 I have a ? Why don't I have a software update option in my general ipad settings
I try to download or upgrade certain apps and my ipad tells me I need os5 to do so. I don't have an option to update software under settings, or general
That option is only available after iOS 5. Prior to that you need use iTunes on your syncing computer to upgrade.

HT1751 why can't i sync my iTunes music to my 1st generation apple tv
I have a first generation apple tv with a 160 gig hard drive. i bought it specifically as a storage for itunes. I used to be able to sync, now i can only stream? help?
Spoke with Apple support on this issue. After deleting all music and playlists from the phone, unchecking ALL boxes within Music tab on phone, and syncing, music was removed from phone. Then went back and checked sync music/selected playlists/the playlists I wanted on the phone, and it successfully synced those playlists. I did lose the purchased playlist on the phone, which I like because it's my newest music, but that is easily fixed by making a smart playlist of recent purchases and adding it to the sync.
Hope that helps. -
HT4972 why can't i update the software on my ipad model MB292LL?
Why can't I update the software for my IPad model MB292LL? The ios is 5.1.1 and I have seen newer ios versions come out. Also, many apps aren't available for my Ipad because of the ios. Is this Apple's way of forcing you to buy a new IPad? If so, that *****!
The 1st generation iPad can not be upgraded beyond 5.1.1

I have an 1st generation ipad. I am unable to update the software beyond 5.1.1. Why? It tells me my software is up to date.
Very possible.
You can often get the older version if you buy directly on the iPad
Go through the iTunes Store on your old iPad and purchase netflix, if you can get an older version of the app, iTunes will ask and prompt the download of older version.
Not all apps will be available.
I was able to put iBooks on my older iPod this way. -
Why can't I update my 1st generation ipad past iOS version 5.1.1?
My 1st generation iPad crashed all the time. I can hardly use it any longer. Someone suggested updating to a new version of iOS. My current version is 5.1.1 & it keeps saying that is the latest version. Why can't I update it??

In theory you're right that Missy8818's device will "continue work as it always has" except that more and more apps will require updates that she won't be able to do. Before long, it really won't work like it always has.
Not exactly. Just because apps have updates available, does not mean they are required. You will not be able to update apps to get the new features and looks but the version of the apps you currently have should work as they do right now even if they are no longer available in the app store. Just be sure to backup up your device and your iTunes library.
My frustration is also in the lack of options.. I have a 15 yr old Win 98 machine that I could still use if I wanted to – albeit with outdated, old, but still functioning software. Sure using these older versions I give up newer bells and whistles, but that is a compromise I CAN CHOOSE to make if I wish to hold on a little longer to my hardware. Apple offers no such choice with the Ipad. Their timeline for obsolescence is your time line. Take it or leave it.
As with your iPad, the 15 year old Windows 98 machine will not be able to update to the most current versions of the apps (programs) either, including Microsoft's own Internet Explorer and Windows Media Player. -
Why can't I download Pandora app on iPod touch 4th generation?
Why can't I download Pandora app on iPod touch 4th generation? When I search for the Pandora app in the App Store it comes up and shows that it is free, but it does not allow me to click on the button to download it. The Free button is not highlighted. No problem downloading any other apps. I appreciate any suggestions. Thank you!
It might be incompatible with the current version of software on your ipod Touch.

Why can't I install the latest update?
Why can't I install the latest update? There is an update available. I'm asked to agree to the terms. I do and nothing happens.
There are two common reasons why an iPad can't be updated to the latest version of the operating system.
The most common reason is storage space. You can try to free up space of your iPad.
The second most common reason is the original iPad. For example, for iPhone, only iPhone 4s and the later can upgrade to iOS 8 and the higher.
