I need to update my 1st gen IPad but have no update short cut in setting,any ideas

I need to update my IPad 1st gen to iOS 4.3, but in General Settings there is no Update bar....any ideas? Thanks

If you have any iOS prior to 5 (which you do) you have to plug your device into your syncing computer and use iTunes to update the operating system.
The ability to update over the air comes with iOS5

    iPad 1's can only be updated to IOS 5.1.1. The iPad 1 doesn't have the processing power to handle any higher.

    How does someone who has a 1st generation iPad but no computer update to the current operating system?

    You take the iPad to someone or somewhere where you can update the device using iTunes on a computer. There is no other way to do it. You must use iTunes on a computer.
    Apple Stores will update the device for you. Make an appointment at an Apple Store for help.

  • HT204150 I deleted my duplicate contacts one by one on my iPad but have lost over 600 contacts on my iPad they are all on my iPhone but when I sync my iCloud I only have 200 contact on my iPad but have all 820 on my iPhone can any one help

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.

  • How can I update my 1st gen iPad

    I can't update the first gen iPad - can anyone help me with this proble.

    First Generation iPads cannot be updated past iOS 5.1.1.
    Why do you want to do this?

  • I need to update my 1st gen iPad. Help! Ps I am pc stupid

    .

    The first gen iPad can not run anything newer than iOS 5.1.1.
    You can check your version here: Settings > General > About > Version
    If it is older than iOS 5.1.1 then connect it to iTunes on the computer it was synced with.
    Update iOS
    Scroll down to the update using iTunes section

  • Was trying to upgrade op system on my 1st gen Ipad, but bcuz my PC was already on 7.1 it blew out the operating system in my ipad.  Is there any way to get my ipad back up and running?

    Upgraded my PC to IOS 7.1, went to upgrade my first gen ipad and the op system on PC was higher than ipad could handle so now my ipad got obliterated and all i see is the picture of the phone cord.  Any idea how to re-install a lower IOS to get my ipad back up and running?

    Do what the picture says. Plug the iPad to a computer running the latest iTunes and restore from your last backup.
    As you have probably found out, the original iPad cannot be updated beyond iOS 5.1.1.

  • HT4623 What can I do to update my 1st Gen IPad to iOS 6

    I need to update my Ipad to iOS 6 but a get a message that states it cant be done

    The most recent version of iOS that is available for the original iPAD is 5.1.1. It will not run anything beyond that.

  • Upgraded to ios5 on my ipad but lost library of apps that were loade.Any ideas?

    During upgrade of IOS5 I had to restore original settings and lost the apps I had before upgraded.How can I restore old apps ?

    If you have an old back up, restore again from that.  If not, and if the apps are still in your itunes,(and they should be) simply do a sync.
    Ifmthey are not there, or will not load, you can redownload them from the app store.  As long as you are using the same apple id as you did when you bought them, they will download for free.

  • Updated 1st gen iPad, unable to access apps.

    I recently updated my 1st gen iPad and my pictures and music seems to have transferred but none of my apps did. I can see them but cannot open them, they are dark in appearance as they look before they have completed downloading. I accessed the app store and was able to download a new app...

    I plugged in my ipad and ITunes says "iTunes was interrupted while restoring the contents of the iPad. Would you like to retore this iPad again now?". I pressed continue restore and a message came up that says "An error occurred while restoring this iPad (-1)". Im not sure where to go from here, or how to "unsync" and "resync".

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

  • 1st Gen iPad problems with Pages

    I have a 1st Gen iPad and have the Pages app, but now that the new Pages app has been issued for iOS7 I can no longer open docs from the cloud in the older app. I saved the docs from my mac as a pages09 file and still can't get them to open. What now?

    I spent about 4+ hours with Tech Support on this issue.  There is no luck according to their Senior Technician. He spend time rummaging over the internet offering me solutions with 3rd party apps to get 'iCloud" back with pages, but none of them worked with an "Offline" mode.  This was a big hinderance on myself as well. I am a Tech Writer and had a lot of documents that I needed to send to my Editor...he uses Pages as well...  Once I edited my documents in the New Pages, he couldn't opened them...this is not good.  I know newspapers all around are probably feeling this burn right now.
    I have found a solution however, but it requires a previous purchase.  I bought Pages 09 back on 10.6.3 Snow Leopard long before the Mac App Store was opened to Snow Leopard 10.6.8  What I did what continue using that program, denying the update to Pages in OSX Mavericks.  Still though with all the documents I had to open each individual one and resave them as .DOC format then reimport them into iCloud after cleaning out the /Library/Mobile Documents/Pages section.
    Now as I am a Tech Writer, I do NOT expect the average user to figure this out or even need to figure this out, this was an unacceptable move by Apple and after looking at the specs, there is NOTHING that would prevent them from making Pages 10 Backwardscompatible for Pages 09 users or add Pages 10 support to iPad.  Since they ONLY allow it to run on iOS7 Devices, kind forces you to run out an buy a new iPad2 or higher.... since I am quite confortable with my 1st Generation, I will continue using Pages 09'  and if worst comes to worse, I will roll back to Mountain Lion,  there was no update feature on that one and never did it bother me about upgrading Pages 09....
