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

  • 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

  • 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".

  • Is there a way to update 1st gen iPad past 5.1.1?

    Is there a way to update 1st gen iPad past 5.1.1?

    Yes but if I just wanted to get on the Internet I could have just bought a cheap tablet I can throw away when nothing works but Internet access. Wont b long and all the apps will b outdated. And it slower going through safari to access my outdated apps and not near as convenient. I was going to get an iPad air but I figure it will b almost useless in two or three years.

    MY 1st gen iPad has candy crush ---but it is stuck in "an update mode". My iPad can no longer acceptsupdates for any games beyond 5.1. Therefore, each time I try to access the game it goes into a "pause" mode. I would hate to delete the game because I think I will lose my score. But I can't play the game either.  Can someone help me with this?  Can I go back to my last updated candy crush for my ipad, or do I have to delete it and start over?  Also, how would I get the one for my generation iPad

    I have a similar problem. But my iPad shows the connect iTunes screen and gives error 2001 when I try to restore it.
    My iPad's battery was fine but I didn't use it for like 2 weeks. It's battery would've discharged and it turned off. When I tried to charge through wall socket, it got into the restart loop where it would show apple logo and turn off. So I did the simultaneous holding of Home and Sleep buttons for 10 seconds or more. It started showing connect to iTunes.
    When I try to restore, the iTunes does the usual "extracting file" or something and go upto preparing for restore. But the iPad screen turns off from "connect to iTunes" and iTunes gives the error 2001, and the screen is back to connect to iTunes.
    Also, if I don't plug in, the iPad seems dead, doesn't wake up or anything.

  • 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....
