Correct, iOS 5.1.1 is the highest possible for the first gen iPad.

  • I have an 1st generation ipad. I am unable to update the software beyond 5.1.1. Why?

    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.

  • I have the 1st gen iPad and for some reason, the sound currently stopped working. Even if there are no headphones attached, when you adjust the volume it says that headphones ARE attached. The sound also doesn't work even if I DO plug in headphones. Help!

    I don't even know what to try so any help is appreciated.

    Reset iPad
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    Note: Data will not be affected.

  • HT4623 I have a 1st gen iPad. Upgrade to iOS 6.1.1 appeared, but it quit shortly into it and now I am being told that all software is up to date at 5.1.1! Synced iPad to the iMac and it also says the iPad is up to date. What gives?

    I have a 1st gen iPad. Upgrade to IOS 6.1.1 appeared, but it quit shortly into the installing and has not come back up again. Both the iPad and when synced to the iMac, say i am fully up to date at 5.1.1! Has anyone had / got the same issue? How can I upgrade when it doesn't acknowledge there is no need?

    You are most welcome

  • I have a first gen iPad, and it will randomly go home from the Internet when I don't press any button.  I have a wireless connection at home.

    I have a first gen iPad, and it will randomly go home from the Internet when I don't press any button.  I have a wireless connection at home.  Is this a known bug?  What can I do?

    You maybe running low on memory since you are using the original iPad with iOS 5.1.1 and the iPad is crashing. This may help and it certainly won't hurt.
    Quit all apps completely and reboot the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
    Reboot 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    Do this before you launch Safari again. Go to Settings>Safari>Clear Cookies and Data. You don't have to clear the history.

    I have a 4th gen iPad and the type face on the keyboard has been replaced with small squares.  How do I fix this?

    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.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

  • I have a new 1st Gen ipad and cant get my computer to recognize in devices in itunes or

    My old ipad was replaced from the apple store with a new 1st gen ipad.  I plugged it into 2 different computers (windows 7 and windows 8) and it was not recognized by the computers or itunes.  I updated to the newest itunes on both machines.  The ipad is charging but it only shows a "connect to itunes" icon.  Please help.

    When the AirPort Extreme is in DHCP and NAT mode, it is the product that is controlling the number of devices that can connect to your network......which is around 200.
    When the AirPort Extreme is in Bridge Mode....it is your "modem" that is controlling the number of devices that will be allowed to connect to the network. Your modem is not really a modem, it is a modem/router or gateway type of device.
    If everything seems to work OK with the AirPort Extreme in DHCP and NAT mode, you do have the option to click to "ignore" the Double NAT error, and the AirPort Extreme will display a green light.
    Double NAT occurs when there are two devices...your "modem" and the AirPort Extreme....on the network and both of them are trying to control DHCP and NAT at the same time. Normally, you only want one device on a network providing DHCP and NAT service.
    In order for your modem and AirPort Extreme to work correctly, it is the "modem" that needs to be set up in Bridge Mode, so the AirPort Extreme will supply DHCP and NAT services for up to 200 devices.
    That may, or may not be easy to do, and your ISP may not support your "modem" in that type of setup.
    It is up to you to decide whether you want to try to set things up correctly, or leave well enough alone.

  • I have a 1st gen ipad. Want to play Candy Crush. Installed app from app store. I hit play now, I see the board then the pad goes back to the start screen (the one with all the apps displayed). Do I need additional apps to run? Thanks.

    I have a 1st generation iPad. Want to play Candy Crush Saga. Installed app from Apple Store. When I tap on the app, I wait a long time while it reads "loading" then I hit "play", I see the board then the ipad goes back to the ipad start screen (the one with all the apps displayed). Is there some additional program I need to play this type of game. I know that space is not an issue as I have very little stored. Thanks.
    Just found my answer. Worked perfectly. Instructions very clear.

    try uninstalling the app and reinstalling it. u shouldnt need to install anything else but the app itself to get it running. if that doesnt work then update ur software and see if that works.

  • I have a 1st gen shuffle and a nano that I would like to use with a new computer. What do I need to do?

    I have a first gen iPod Shuffle with its software installed on a Windows XP computer. I installed the software for an iPod Nano, and was then unable to access my music library with the Shuffle. This is not my main issue that my question is about. I would like to be able to use both of these devices on a new Windows7 computer. What, exactly, do I need to do? (ie - deauthorize my old computer, uninstall or install/reinstall iTunes, etc.) Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.

    "Do I need to deauthorize my old computer first?" 
    Not unless you want to.  You can have up to 5 computers authorized.
    " And should I install the Nano's iTunes software, since it is newer than the Shuffle's, before syncing?"
    Itunes is itunes.  I don't know what you mean by "Nano's iTunes software".  You need to install itunes.
    "Or, should I just download the most current iTunes software, and then plug in both devices and sync?"
    Yes.
    Hope all goes smoothly.

  • Help!!!! have a 1st gen shuffle and windows xp can't load itunes music to my ipod get error50

    Help downloaded i tunes 10 awile ago and now can not get music to load to my ipod from my itunes library...used utility reset to restore to factory settings and still get error 50. Updated to 10.4.1 last night and still getting error 50 I have windows xp and need help on what to do next!!!!!!

    If you took the backup of your music that you made from the old computer and compiled the iTunes folder to the new computer your iPod would think it was syncing to the same iTunes Library (it can only sync to one library on auto sync) and would add the music you purchased.
    Sounds like you didn't have a backup file. You need to put all the music you had on the old computer on the new computer and then sync it. If it was music you purchased from iTunes download it again, there is no charge. If it was music you ripped from CDs then rip them again. If you don't want to download or rip them again then buy TouchCopy and move the music from your iPod to your new PC iTunes library then sync again.
    By the way this is a user-to-user technical support site, I don't really care whether you buy music from iTunes or not.
