I have a first gen iPad am I able to upgrade the iOS?

You might, though, be able to keep using many of your apps in an older version that is compatible with ios 5.1.1.
You might be able to use some older versions af apps. These links have information that can help you.

Can't seem to find an IPAD that let's me control my playlists together...or let's me organize my videos (Karaoke) the way I want to. Can someone help or direct me?
Can't even find the old IPad for sale...I have a MB292LL with 4.3.2 (8H7)

Here is a hint, google:
ipad video playlists
Found:
This discusses some options.
iOS 7 took away the ability to play videos continuously.
Two stand-alone apps.

There was a hint of relabeling your videos to music video so you can use the itunes video playlists.
I have not tried this.

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.

Have a first gen ipad. Can't download version 5.1 because iTunes 11.1 need to be downloaded. Cannot download version of iTunes. " errors occured while installing updates. if the problem persists choose tools download only and try installing manually"

Have a first gen iPad with 4.3 IOS. Can't download version 5.1 because iTunes 11.1 need to be downloaded. Cannot download version of iTunes. " errors occured while installing updates. if the problem persists choose tools>download only and try installing manually". This is as far as I can get. Can't find tools to manually download. When I try to reset to factory settings, I get an error also.

Try updating your iTunes using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer file downloaded from the Apple website:

Or do i have to pay again?
thanks,

If you've previously paid for the iOS version, you can. If you've previously paid for the Mac version but not the iOS version, you can't.

I bought an ipad 2 from a foreigner. But the person had the Find my iphone turned on. Last week i left the ipad connected to itunes which upgraded the ios. Now it asks for apple ID which i don't have. So what can I do??

No apple ID to activate. Previous owner's contact info isn't with me.

If a second-hand iOS device has been 'Activation locked' then only the previous owner can unlock it, either by providing you with the account ID and password, or by removing it from his list of devices (as he should have done before selling it) - please see http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4515
If you are unable to contact him to do this then I'm afraid you will not be able to use the device - there is no other way of unlocking it at all. Apple cannot unlock it for you.

All that I have read indicates I should be able to upgrade the IOS of a Iphone 3gs from ver 4.2.1 to 4.3 or 5.0 at the least. Most apps have been upgraded to 4.3 minimum. All unavailable to me using ver 4.2.1. How can I upgrade to 4.3 or are there probs

Why cannot the Iphone 3gs be upgraded from ios 4.2.1 to 4.3 or 5.0

Perhaps yours is an iPhone 3G and not a 3Gs...
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 a first gen IPad 1..have been very happy until two weeks ago...everytime I try to access the internet via WIFI...it blows me off. I have tried 5-6 different WIFI spots...to be sure it was not mine at home...does the same thing everywhere...

Recently I have lost the ability to access the internet via WIFI with my I Pad one first generation. It blows me off every time I try. I have
tried 6 different WIFI spots to be sure it was not the WIFI at home. Just doesn't work?????

I spoke to several other Ipad 1 users who have identical problems...worked well since the original purchase then
recently....no WIFI.??????

I have a iPad, 32g, and for no apparent reason, the screen goes black and whatever app I am using is closed on me. It seems to be happening more and more frequently, especially when loading apps, or trying to watch a YouTube video. I try to open safari or youtube again and it will often crash several times before it may or may not decide to load for me. It is extremely annoying and getting to the point where I can not use it

Standard troubleshooting steps in order are as follows:
Power the iPad off and on.
An iPad reset, which is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release.
Restore your iPad with iTunes from your iPad's backup.
Restore your iPad with iTunes as a new iPad or not from your iPad's backup.
If no change after the last step, your iPad has a hardware problem.

I have a first gen ipad mini (no warranty) that has a very badly cracked screen. I am seeing that it would cost quite a bit to replace thru Apple. Has anyone used a 3rd party vendor??

There are third-party services, and you should use Google to find them, and reviews of their services.

Why isn't there video clipping with iOS 5.1 on a first gen iPad?

I have a first gen iPad and can find no way to clip (simple) a video. iMovie can't run, okay. So why isn't there even the usual, simple edit tool in the photo interface? It's ridiculous ... If the ultimate answer is either jailbreak or upgrade, then why buy Apple going forward?

I also have a 1st gen and, I imagine unlike you, I just can't recall Apple as ever having advertised or promoted it as the perfect platform for video editing .. or, for that matter, ever having addressed that issue at all. I can't think of any apps that would have been able to do that sort of thing before the advent of the iPad2, either; why would there have been, seeing as how the 1 lacked a camera?
I have no idea if any of the video editing apps now in the Store will work on the '1' model, but wouldn't be too surprised if they did not. There has to be a miniscule market for that.
Ah well. You've made up your mind about not buying Apple in the future, right? I really have no interest at all in trying to change your mind.

HT201335 Is there a technical reason why the first gen iPad will not mirror?

I have a first gen iPad running 5.1.1
I had 5.1 and that did not work either.
A new 2012 apple tv and no go on the mirroring. My iPhone 4a mirrors. Why can't the first gen iPad

I think the newer iPads have a 5 or 5x chip set. What are they using in the first gen?
I never thought of my iPad as slow
I couldn't tell you off the top of my head.
Yes iPad 1 still seems good for me too, but the 3rd gen is noticeably smoother in use.
Absolute specs are really irrelevant - Apple have not allowed the iPad 1 to mirror and that's that - pretty much like older Macs pre 2011 not being able to do so due to lack of a CPU feature.

Apps for first gen Ipad??

I have a first gen Ipad. Every time I try to install an app i get a message saying i must have ios 6 or higher. Seems like after paying 850 bucks i should be able to find apps after two years!!

You could still get some apps in the app store. Some of them will require ios 6 or 7 only, as you said, but not all. Many of them still support ios 5.1.1 so make sure you update your ipad 1st gen to that (for example Good reader and Evernote's penultimate). Other apps do require ios 6 for their current version, but the developers will still give you the option to download the last version that was compatible with the ios version you have (apps such as Amazon kindle, facebook, twitter, gmail and google chrome are examples of this). If they do you should get the "download an older version" button when it tells you about the ios 6 requirement. Try these tips. They added some useful life to my ipad 1.

HT4623 I have purchased a Epson Workforce 435, can't AirPrint, will this work with the first gen iPad?

I have purchased a Epson Workforce 435, can't AirPrint, will this work with the first gen iPad?

Also i forgot to add after a night of searching how to turn the Epson Workforce 435 printer into Airprint friendly and not iPrint (which are 2 completely different things) i donwloaded a program called (AirPrint Activator) from HandyPrint. The link is below to download the software. Once i installed the application i set my printer to be shared over my Home Network (Wi-Fi Network). Once you have done that, open the AirPrint Activator application you have just downloaded, swtich it ON from OFF mode, and then you should easily see your printer name in my case EPSON Workforce 435 and then just close the application. Then go to your IOS Device like your iphone/ipad/ipod touch select a picture that you want to test print or even an attached PDF from your email, and select Print in the share button. You will then be prompted to select your printer. Your printer you automatically be recongised then just select print. And now you have a complete AirPrint ready printer with a Printer that doesnt even support the function. Im sure you can do this to all Wireless Printers, even if they came out before Apple AirPrint service launch.
And also if you still need guidance and a video to follow from just click the Youtube link below
