If we have the original ipad, how can you open a pdf in ibooks? The menu bar does not pop up like it does on the ipad2. Any suggestions?
Are you in Safari and you want to copy them to iBooks, or you in a different app ? Assuming that you are using Safari, then if I open a PDF on my first gen iPad in Safari and tap on it, I then get a pop-up bar at the top of it with the 'Open In' options.

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

I have the original iPad with v3.2.1 and have never upgraded. How can I upgrade to the latest iOSfor the original iPad?
Update it from iTunes on a computer as described at the bottom of this article; devices running an iOS version prior to 5.0 can't be updated straight from the device. It will be updated to the latest compatible version.
The third generation iPod touch and original iPad can’t be updated past 5.1.1.

I had to reload windows and I have lost my Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 & Adobe Premiere Elements, I have the original online PO can I still download fthis software from Adobe and how?
stepheng
Do you have the purchased serial number? What computer operating system?
If you purchased from Adobe direct, you can get download installation files from "My Orders" at the Adobe web site under your Adobe ID and Password (http://www.adobe.com).
Alternatively, you can use the following Adobe document with links to the downloads....
Other downloads
Also, from the following web site as a tryout into which you insert your purchased serial number during installation
Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 Direct Download Links, Premiere too | ProDesignTools
To avoid Access Denied message, follow carefully the web site's "Note: Very Important Instructions".
Just in case note...make sure installation files are for your computer operating system 32 vs 64 bit. Two files (.exe and .7z)
Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
Please let us know the outcome as your schedule permits.
Thank you.

HT4972 I have the original iPad can you tell me the steps I have to follow to get iOS 5
I have the original iPad and need to be lead through updating to iOS 5
Connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Transfer Purchases. You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.
Then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button

When you have iOS 5+ installed you will get a Settings > General > Software Update option allowing you to do future updates directly on the iPad. -
I have the original iPad can I use a stylus pen to write in notes?
I have the original iPad can I use a stylus pen to write in notes?
One thing to be aware of is that capacitive stylii have a rather broad tip. This makes them feel more like writing with a marker than a pen. (though the width of the line is controlled by the software.)

HT4081 I have the original iPad (1) which is ios 3.2. Can I update it to at least ios 4.2?
I have the original iPad (1) with ios 3.2 Can I update it to at least 4.2?
You can update to the current version (5.1.1) as that is the only version that is 'signed' by Apple (some people have said that iOS 5 slows down the first gen iPad).
You will need the latest version of iTunes on your computer - you can check if you are up-to-date via, on a PC, 'Help > Check For Updates', and on a Mac 'iTunes > Check For Updates'
When you have that installed, connect the iPad to it and copy any purchases off it via File > Transfer Purchases and then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'. You may also want to copy off the iPad any important documents, notes, files etc e.g via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case.

I have the original iPad- about 18 mod old. I tried to download an etool program and it required iflashplayer. My iPad wouldn't do it. I went to the apple store and they told me to update my software to iOS 5.1.1 which I did . Now none of the apps I had installed prior to this work. The icons are still on my screen but when you touch them, it just blinks and nothing happens..like the screen is frozen. How do I restore all of these apps and favorites that I had on prior to this update? Please speak in very non- tech terms if possible. I am VERY low tech unfortunately!
Welcome to Apple Communities
You must use iTunes. Connect your device to your computer, open iTunes, select your device in the sidebar and press Restore. Then, you can restore your device from a backup, and sync the device with iTunes to transfer your files to it pressing Sync button
