I can't update the iOS oo iPad 1.

I've been trying to update the iOS on my iPad 1, but when I check for updates, I get a message that I already have the current version. What I have is iOS 5.1.1? What can I do?

Sorry... that is as far as an iPad 1 can go.

Hi, I'm a bit low on memory and I can't update the iOS. I need to move some photos off the iPad but I don't want to transfer them to a pc, I'd prefer to transfer them to iCloud and leave them there. Is that possible?

Yes, you could, because in this case you would have something like a backup in the cloud. BTW, personally I also like Flickr. Flickr offers you 1 TB (1000 GB) of free storage and automatic upload for photos since iOS 7 (it is a very attractive offer, at least for me)

Connect to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and “ Check for Updates “...
If an Update Appears Install it... if not... you are up to date for your particular Device...

I have an iPad that I want to update to IOS 5.1. I have several apps that each were installed using a different iTunes ID. How can I update the IOS without losing the apps?

To update your phone requires using the latest version of iTunes, on your computer, as well as Internet access. The update to iOS 5.0 or higher is an erase/restore deal, so you not only have to make sure all of the content, currently on your phone, is on your computer and accessible, you need to update iTunes first, have Internet access, then update your phone. There is no way around this fact. You could go to an Apple store or use another computer, but you run the risk of losing all of your data it you do that.

See the chart below to determine whether you can upgrade your device and what you can upgrade to. If you do not have a Software Update option present on your iDevice, then you are trying to upgrade to iOS 5 or higher. You will have to connect your device to your computer and open iTunes in order to upgrade.

TS1702 I can't update the iOS 6

I can't update the iOS 6 to my ibad..what should I do

You will need to connect it to the computer you sync with. When iTunes opens click on the name of your iPad under the DEVICES heading on the left of the screen. Then move right and select the Summary tab and click on Update. It may ask if you want to update prior to getting to the Summary tab, if so click yes.

IOS update to compatible version of my iCloud backup (6.1.4) but not to 7.02. How can I update the IOS to the compatible version 6.1.4?

Am trying to update my IOS to the compatible version of my iCloud backup (6.1.4) but the update will take me to 7.02. How can I update the IOS to the compatible version 6.1.4?

You cannot. However, your iCloud backup will be available to you in the current release of iOS (7.0.2).

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.

Why I can't update the IOS 5.0.1

I am now using iPhone 4S.
Now the Apple gives an update program IOS 5.0.1(seems like this). But I always get jamed at the end of the update..
The program has already downloaded, but it says that I need to make sure the Internet is active or I need to try again..
I tried again and again, but it still happens....My Internet is very good..
Who can help me? Thanks..

Disable your antivirus and firewall software. Kaspersky is especially bad about interfering with updates.

HT4623 I have a preowned ipad 1, can I update the ios to 6.0?

I have a preowned ipad 1 and cannot load some apps because itunes is telling me I need ios 6.0 or more. Confused.

If you are having problems installing Apps (because they are not compatible with iOS 5.x.x) then the following workaround may help...

Does updating the iOS wipe iPad contents?

Hi,
First time posting here so hopefully in the right place!
I'm out of the country for a few months as of next week and as many are eagerly awaiting 4.3 on the iPad. My concern is if I update using an iTunes account that is not mine (on a friends or public computer) will it wipe the contents of my iPad? I travel light bringing my laptop isn't an option and I have photos and movies I wouldn't want to be without.
Any advise would be appreciated.
Ryan

Thank you for the responses.
I did a quick experiment. Connected my iPad to my wife's iTunes. It came up with the normal 'iPad can only be synced with one iTunes etc' message, I choose sync purchases with this this iTunes NOT 'Erase and sync'. Pressed cancel on a few more dialog boxes and then had my iPad in the devices section of her iTunes, unsync'd, with an option to update software so looks like it may be possible.
Before I leave I'm going to downgrade my ios and try and actually update that way, will post the results. If it all gets wiped a least I can re sync with my itunes before I leave home.
Good idea about the MobileMe, will have a look at that as well.

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.

I have an iPod touch 32gb 3rd gen (model A1318) and am unable to update it to iOS5. When I try, I have to update iTunes first, and when I do that, it will no longer recognize my iPod (so I can't update the iOS). Help?

If it matters, I'm using a PC that's still running Windows XP, but this isn't my first rodeo, and I know both how to use the software and what applications are and aren't compatible with my computer.
I searched the web for answers, most of which amounted to a shrug and a "Meh." I called Apple support, who took a couple days to look into it, then had a supervisor call me back. His response, essentially, was a shrug and a "meh." So I'm kinda stuck. Any help you folks could give me would be much appreciated.
In addition, I've been reading a fair amount on how iOS 5 will cause a whole host of problems with the 32gb 3rd gen touch... is this true? And has Apple resolved it, or are they essentially force-retiring this model?

Dear Re_trace,
Don't you feel cheated and conned by this product. I am 50 years old and from what you write I can see you know a lot more about your computer than I do about mine. Additionally I live in southern Africa (in fact I live in one and work in another, neither of which appear on the drop down list when you start looking at asking Apple directly for help) and feel they shouldn't allow people to sell their products here (I bought it in a shop that sells i-Macs etc. - not off a guy on a street corner!)if they can't offer support.
I have just been going from error code to another, losing my music that took me hours and hours to install and catalogue/modify in the library etc. and now I've had enough of it.
Essentially it seems to me we have bought faulty products, and made Apple richer than Microsoft in the process.
I'm turningmy back on this bloody iPod Touch, giving it to my son to see if he has the ability and interest to get it working, and if he hasn't I'm just goinbg to have to sell it to a sucker who also wants to buy into the dream, until he wakes up to the reality of shoddy product. hours in front of a computer screen, a fortune in downloads (here I only have about 5 to 10 kb per second download speed), trawling the internet looking for people than have also suffered at the hands of an obviously fatally-flawed system.where every time Apple just recommends to install the latest version of iTunes.
I for one would rather have my money and my wasted time back............
I know I didn't help, but really I don't have any axe to grind against Apple, it's just that the hype in no way lives up to the reality. Look at all the people begging for anwers to their problems on this web-site! I know the shop in Mozambique won't give me my money back, but Apple should, and if Ford sold cars as reliable as these iPods, they'd be banned from selling them........
Or am I just too old to realie how exciting it is internettingf all over th eplace to try to fix what is actually an inferior Walkman........
Good luck solving your problem, and I hope you think that all the effort you are putting in (and which I have now given up putting in), is worth it.
Hope you solve ht eproblems!
Nick
