I can't update to 5.1.1 on my iPad 1

I tried to update my iOS on mh iPad 1 to 5.1.1. I did the update with the iPad 1 connected to my iMac.
I received an error stating that the iPad could not be updated. I did save the updater log.
What's up? Is this an issue relating to the first generation iPad (iPad 1)? Or is it an Apple Update issue? or what?

It's not obsolete as much as the first gen simply lacks the power to run the newer operating systems. IT doesn't have enough RAM. If someone managed to hack it to get iOS 6 or 7 on there they'd just have a slow, boggy and unresponsive device. (think putting windows 7 on an old laptop.
Unfortunately software moves faster than hardware. Every thing goes obsolete. I've had my ipad 2 for two and a half years now and I know it only has so much longer left to it too. Just the 'joys' of advancing technology.

Hello, DGVLIMITED.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I would need clarification on what exact issue you are experiencing and any errors when attempting to update applications to provide a better answer. However, try updating applications individually. This could be a capacity limitation when updating all at once. Also, try restarting the device. If these steps do not resolve the issue, try the remaining steps in the article below.
Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time.
Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update(iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clickingCheck for Update on your device's Summary page.
Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.

You must have a verified billing address & be located in the country whose store you are trying to use.

HT5567 I can not update ios 6.0.1 on my ipad they keep saying an error occured downloading ios 6.0.1 .What can I do?

I keep downloading update ios 6.0.1 but It can't go throught,howw can I do?

You could update your iPad from your iMac if your iMac is running iTunes 11.0 or iTunes 10.7.
If you have an older (or no) version of iTunes, you can catch up at:
http://www.apple.com/itunes
You say you are running OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard). I know that version can run iTunes 10.7; I do not know if it supports iTunes 11.0 (current release). Either one of those iTunes will support your iPad upgrade.
You would do the upgrade by using the USB connector to plug your iPad into your computer, having iTunes then recognize your iPad (which would happen automatically if all goes well), and then clicking a "Check for Updates" button on the right side of the iTunes display.

No, but if you are worried about the security update in iOS 7.0.6 then note that iOS 5.1.1 does not have this problem.

How can I update my App Store payment details

How can I update my App Store payment details

On your iPad you can tap on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then tap on 'View Apple ID' on the popup and log into your account - that should give you a payments link on your account's page. Or you can do it via your computer's iTunes by logging into your account by going into the Store > View Account menu option, and on your account's details page there should also be a payment link.

Software Update is not show in general.... How can i update ios without this?

Software Update is not show in general.... How can i update ios without this?

What model iPad and what iOS are you running? The max iOS for the iPad 1 is 5.1.1.
See
iOS 5: Updating your device to iOS 5 or Later
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect to your computer & click on the "Update your device using iTunes".
Tip - You may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. After you update to iOS 5.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
