OK, so I have the 1st generation iPad. There is an AirPlay symbol, near the music symbol. Is this useless? If I enable it, what does it enable? And, what technological advances were made over the last 2 versions that have made my iPad 1, obsolete?
Thanks for the enlightenment!

My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

HT1695 I have the 1st generation iPad. All of a sudden it will not connect to my wi-fi. It finds my wi-fi, but will not totally connect. I have done everything...reset network, rebooted router etc and it still will not connect. Any suggestions?

I have the 1st generation iPad. All of a sudden it will not connect to my wi-fi. It finds my wi-fi, but will not totally connect. I have done everything...reset network, rebooted router etc and it still will not connect. My other divices are connected....iPhone and 3 Macs. Any suggestions?

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

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.

HT4623 Now that iOS is consistently being updated. Will the 1st Generation IPad be stuck with IOS 5? Eventually my IPad will be good for nothing as Apps start requiring the updated software.

Now that iOS is consistently being updated. Will the 1st Generation IPad be stuck with IOS 5? Eventually my IPad will be good for nothing as Apps start requiring the updated software.

The iPad 1 can only be updated to iOS 5.1.1. This is unlikely to change.
The apps you have will continue to work and there are still many apps which run on iOS 5 (or even earlier iOS levels).

HT4623 I have a 1st generation iPad &recently updated to iOS 5.1, but I can't find my AppStore app icon! Help!

I have a 1st generation iPad and recently updated to iOS 5. However, I can't find my AppStore app icon now. Like it's disappeared!
How do I get the icon back?

Do your have Restrictions turned on? Settings>General.
If that's not it, scroll to the left until you get to the search page. enter "App Store", does this find the app? If so, then the icon is lost on some later page or is in some folder.

I have the 1st generation ipod touch looking to trade for the new ipod touch or someone to give me money for the new ipod touch

There is no trade in program.
You can sell to to someone.
Apple has a recycling program where they will give you 10% off of a new ipod if your bring in your old one.

HT4623 Can you update the 1st generation IPad to IOS 6?

Can I update my 1st generation IPad to IOS 6?

HT4972 Is the ios6 update available for the 1st generation ipad?

Is the ios6 update aailable for the 1st genetion ipad?

APle abandoned you and all of its loyal iPad 1 users with this upgrade. It really stinks that they quit on us so soon.

HT5007 How do I get gmail app update loaded to my ipad3G. My 4G iPad automatically loaded it when I selected that I wanted it installed. But my 1st generation iPad gmail won't open now and I want to install the gmail update and I can't find it in the app

Please help me to install Google Gmail update app for my First Generation iPad 3G.

The current version of the Gmail app requires iOS 5 or later.
What version of iOS is on the iPad in question?

I have a 1st generation apple tv that my kids use in their tv room but the remote now will only toggle up and down. Anyone have this problem, can only acess movies and can toggle over to the side for tv shows or other content

Really frustrating. I have tried to pair 2 different remotes to see if that was the problem, but still can't toggle but up or down........ help!!

Have you restarted the AppleTV?
I have several white remotes for ATV1's and a couple have 'sticky' up buttons that require a harder press (one of these was chucked in the sunk a few years ago by my daughter), so I'm not convinced of their longevity as much as I prefer them ergonomically over the new silver ones.
Odd for two to be exhibiting the same issue which which is why I suggest restarting. If you had a low battery you'd probably be getting an onscreen warning icon.

I love a game name Magic line on the first generation IPAD but now I can not download this Magic line on the app store for my new iPad Air. How can I transfer the game on OLD IPAD to my New IPAD Air ??

I have a game name MAGIC LINE on my first generation IPAD which I can not find on APP store now. How can I transfer that game to my new IPAD AIR ??

For the last month or so, skype has been breaking at the drop of a hat.

Hello, I've been becoming increasingly frustrated with what appears to be the rapdily increasing instability within Skype, mainly through straight up crashes.
At seemingly random times, the slightest thing will cause Skype to lock up, then stop responding. On occasion it will close or give me an option to 'debug', which just opens Microsoft Visual Studio (?). However, a lot of the time it throws an error, such as every single time I attempt to change a profile picture of any sort (i.e. mine, a group's, etc.) which means I can no longer change my profile picture. While I am uncertain as to whether the error is the same every time, it is always an 'access violation', and the one that gets thrown from attempting to change profile picture is the following: "Access violation at address 005BD775 in module 'Skype.exe'. Read of address 21033000." I have the most updated drivers, tried reinstalling, have the latest DirectX and all to no avail. I am running a 64 bit version of Windows 7.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. I do not want to switch to another service, but the frequency of these crashes along with their seemingly random causes, is too inconvenient to ignore. Kind regards, Taverin

Please, run the DirectX diagnostics tool. Go to Windows Start and in the Run box type dxdiag.exe and press the OK button. This will start the DirectX diagnostics program. Run this diagnostics and save the results to a file. Please, attach this file to your post. Be aware that you will have to zip this file before attaching it here.
