HT5003 I have a first generation iPad. Why won't it update?

I have a first generation iPad. But for some reason it won't update to IOS 5.1... Can anyone help me?

If you are currently running iOS 5.01, you can update to iOS 5.1 over wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

I have a first generation ipad that I gave to my father. He wants to download a few things and it says that he can't because he needs the new ios update. When I try to download it it says that I can't. Is the older version IPADS unable to update?

I have a first generation IPad and it won't let me download unless I update to the new ios system. When I go to do that it won't let me do that either. What advise can you offer? Thanks

Maybe a little more info would be helpful. How are you trying to update the iPad? What model iPad it is and what version of the iOS is on it now?

I have a first generation iPad and got my husband the iPad 2 for xmas. is there a way to transfer his tiny tower game from my iPad to his without using the same iTunes account?

Apps are only tied to one account... You can set up two iTunes accounts on your computer, however, and let his iPad sync to his account. If he has never backed up his apps to a computer, however, he will have to redownload all the apps. Afterwards, he can backup to iCloud instead of your computer.

I have a first generation iPad and the screen went completely green on me and locked up. I was able to unlock it, but now there's a green haze all over the screen. Anyone know what the issue could be and how I can get it fixed?

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)

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 have a first generation ipad and find i cannot now run ibooks as i need an earlier version but cannot find any clickable tabs on the ibooks download page that i am directed to ?

You should be able to download a compatible version. If the iBooks app isn't already in your purchase history thet download the current version on your computer's iTunes so that the app is in it. 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

I have a first-generation ipad. We just purchased a laptop and I had to change my password as I couldn't recall it

I have a first-generation ipad. We recently purchased a new laptop (not an Apple) and I had to change my e-mail pasword as I couldn't recall what it was; it auto-populated on the old computer. I changed the password on my ipad and the new laptop (no issues), then a few days later, I couldn't send out any e-mails on my ipad, but could on the laptop. I have been around and around with the e-mail provided, and they cannot help me.
Anyone out there with the same problem?
Thanks.

If you had a yahoo or gmail account, we might be able to help you, but Earthlink is the source you need guidance from. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

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
