IBooks for iPad 1st generation

I just tried to download iBooks on my 1st generation iPad and it says that iOS7 is required. Since I can't upgrade to iOS7, does this mean I can't use iBooks?

I had the same problem but was able to resolve it with technical info from Apple Customer Service.
The solution is to not use (or delete) the ibooks 3.2 app from your itunes on your Mac computer (and iPad), then use an older version of ibooks which is 3.1.1.ipa.
It is not easy to find an older version of ibooks because Apple doesn't seem to make it available it, but there are a couple of sites out there that have it if you seach for "ibooks 3.1.1.ipa download".
The site I found it on was: http://zonatrick.com/apps-games/download/mobile/UKjR0LcH/iBooks_311.htm.
GOOD LUCK.

Was iOS 5 meant for iPad 1st generation? Ever since updating it is slower and slower.

Was iOS 5 meant for iPad 1st generation? Ever since updating it is slower and slower.

When I first updated my original,iPad I had a number of issues with it, crashes, some sluggishness, and things like that. When the infest incremental update was released a little while later, it seemed to fix the issues on the iPad - or at least it made a very big difference.
I never updated it all the way to 5.1.1 - because I bought the new iPad so I have no first hand experience with 5.1.1 on the original iPad.
You can try some basic troubleshooting steps and see if they make a difference.
Quit all apps completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open 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. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Sometimes this can help. Reset 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 - let go of the buttons.
If you have issues with Safari - Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

How to install a later version of iBooks for iPad 1st gen.

I am wanting to install iBooks on an iPad 1st gen, however the current version 3.2 will not work because the 1st gen is incapable to update the software past 5.1.1. How can I install a later version of iBooks such as 2.1.1?
Any help is appreciated!

Thank you for your response! I knew there was a way to do this but could not find the answer anywhere else.
Problem solved!!

Why iPad 1st generation can't support iOS 6?

I just want to know why Apple didn't create iOS 6 for iPad 1st Generation, because when I find amazing apps at AppStore and I want to buy them, I can't because I need iOS 6 in my iPad, that's no funny!

As far as I know Apple haven't said. But the first gen iPad has a slower processor than subsequent models, and also less memory (256 meg, the iPad 2 has 512, and the 3 and 4 have 1 gig) - mine got noticeably slower with iOS 5, I doubt that it could cope with iOS 6

Can I use a Vodafone USB Dongle with my apple IPad 1st Generation if I have a USB adaptor for my IPad

Hi there just wondering does anyone know if I can use a Vodafone USB Dongle with my apple IPad 1st Generation 16gb (WiFi only) if I have a USB adaptor, will the IPad !st generation support a A Vodafone Dongle(Irish network)

You cannot plug a USB dongle into an iPad using the USB part of the iPad Camera Connection Kit.
The Camera Connection Kit is for connecting cameras - hence the name.
You'd need to get a MiFi device to use 3G data via WiFo on your iPad.

Ipad troubles for the 1st generation.

I have had my ipad 1st generation for a little over a year, and the itunes has been acting strange all the words are squished together to the point I can't read it. Also when i'm in an app,or on the internet for a few minutes it exits out, and takes me back a few pages and/or makes me start the app entirely over. I have reset it, but it didn't seem to help. Any suggestions? Unfortunately the warrently is up I believe. Thanks!

First thing to try is a reboot of your iPad. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the iPad restart.
I know you said you reset the iPad but is the above what you did?

Tried to restore (which I was able to do in the past and was successful) and received an error saying something went wrong can not restore and went back to showing dead battery again. The battery is not dead... Any suggestions?

"The battery is not dead"
How did you ascertin that?

IPad 1st Generation not syncing!

I have an Ipad 1st generation. It is as upgraded as possible for it's generation. Whenever connected to my computer I am unable to update existing apps. I have also not been able to add new apps. It will allow me to remove whatever I want.

I think that what you are saying about the problem being with the computer's OS (which is 10.9.2/maverick) may be the problem. Maybe that in conjunction with the latest iTunes upgrades are a problem with my older iPad.
But I don't get any kind of error message when I am trying to either sync, or update apps. The only messages I have gotten were when I attempted to update the netflix app directly on my iPad using the app store. And then the message said that the update I was attempting to install was not compatible with my iPad's OS. It then went on to inform me that I could instead re-install an earlier version of the netflix app that would work on my iPad. I installed it, and it works perfectly.--But when I connect the computer directly to my iPad so I could update some of the apps is when all the problems began. There were 22 updates available. When I tried to sync/apply changes(which included updates to 22 apps)iTunes carried on as though the sync was being done with all the changes requested. At the end of sync there was no sound to announce that the sync was done. When I looked back at the list of apps, all those that had said "will update" before I clicked apply, then said "update". Itunes had bounced out all changes I wanted, and was acting as if it had done all that I wanted. Nothing was done. Nothing at all. And during the sync process all messages indicated that the sync was going as it was supposed to.

I have an iPad 1st Generation and would like to use it when in Istanbul. How do I do this and will it cost anything?

I have an iPad 1st Generation Wi-Fi + 3G but my network is Verizon. I would just like to use it when in Istanbul to check and send email to the US and to Skype. Is this possible? Do I need to enable or disable anything to use it, or just turn it on? And, (finally!) is it totally free using a free wi-fi connection? Thanks much - the Verizon site is too confusing!

Thank you for replying, but I don't quite understand. I don't need mobile internet at all times. I am hoping to bring my iPad and only use it in the hotel lobby which has wifi. I am trying to determine if it can be used to recieve and send email while in Istanbul as well as get on Skype. Also - will how to do this be apparent to me when I turn it on - or do I need to set any preferences (etc). And will Verizon apply any charges? This is an iPad 1st gen and though it has 3G, I have never used it - only with wifi. Thanks!

My iPad (1st generation) seems to be moving slower then normal and often dumps me out the app I'm in. Any ideas??

My iPad (1st generation) seems to be slowing down. Taking longer to open and more concerning is that fact that I'm frequently being dumped out of apps
Any ideas?

Welcome!
It's not very likely that a virus/malware is slowing you. Although "officially" above the minimum, 320MB RAM is light for Tiger. Of our various G4 Macs running Tiger, the least RAM installed is 768MB. The others range from 1G to 1.75G RAM. A low RAM count plus a hard drive that's filling up can really drag down the performance.
My best recommendation is to review the maintenance articles on this web site:
http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/faqs.html
There are number of routine cleanup items you can do without a tech looking over your shoulder that will maximize your performance.

How can I load and read pdf's on an old iPad 1st generation?

Bought the wife a new iPad mini and I inherited the older iPad 1st generation. I would like to use it to store and read a lot of my pdf's. How do I get them into the iPad and how do I view and read the pdf's? I think the IOS 5 is far as I can go on updating... I think. Thanks for any help.

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

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.
Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
