IPad 1 - Can't download OR remove iOS 6 only app updates from App Store
So, I've come to terms with the fact that my trusty iPad 1 won't be getting iOS 6 (thanks Apple)
But now, there are updates for apps I've paid for that are iOS 6 only. I've even come to terms with that!
The most annoying thing is, Apple are rubbing my face in it by choosing not to prevent the App Store from displaying these unattainable updates on a system incapable of running iOS.
Im guessing that they're using this as a tactic to constantly remind iPad 1 owners that their device is obsolete.
Anyone think they'll eventually decide to so sort this?
Thanks for the reply, but with all respect, thats quite an obvious and patronising point you've made.
Sending feedback to a feedback mailbox won't answer my query, and I'm sure that an organisation as big as Apple have already identified this.
My specific question is about the displaying of updates that are unattainable. Hoping that someone in the community might be aware of whether this is due to be sorted.

How to skip app updates from app store in iOS 5.1?
I am using an older generation iPod running iOS 5.1 that cannot be upgraded to iOS 6. I now have app store updates that show as a red badge but I cannot install them because they are only compatible with iOS 6 (Shazam, etc...). How can I skip these irrelevant updates? I dislike always having a warning for an update that I cannot install, and I'd rather not delete the app. Please advise what to do to fix the problem. Thanks.
there a way I can fix it so that I can close the old account but still be able to update those other apps?
No.
You will need to use both accounts to update your apps unless you repurchase them on the new account. -
I can't download Mountain Lion. Get unknown error from app store.
Has anyone else had this problem? I'm using OS Lion now. Have updated all my apps. Looks like everything is cleared to go.

I rented a movie on my iPad. It downloaded fine but would only play 36 minutes, 5 seconds worth of the movie; although the time kept running for the length of the movie. Can this be fixed or do I need to get a refund?
You can try a rest:
Reset iPad: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- If that does work, contact iTunes and request a redownload. You can ask for a refund though. -

my ipad and itunes account is registered in the UK - can I download movies on wifi in the US from itunes?
You can only buy from the UK iTunes Store, and per the Terms of Use for the UK Store, you agree not to attempt to use it from outside of the UK. Apple may take technological steps to prevent such use, though I've never seen any reliable indication that they do so.

how can I delete or remove my apple account ID from an iPhone I want to sell or give out as a gift?
You didn't see this bit?
"Your content won't be deleted from iCloud when you erase your device."
You only lose iCloud data from other devices if you manually delete the data. If you Erase all content and data, you keep iCloud data elsewhere. -
How can i download OS X Lion 10.7 without the app store?
ow can i download OS X Lion 10.7 without the app store ?
You don't. For a while, Apple sold 10.7 usb sticks, but they don't now. See if you can find one of them lying around. Otherwise, the mac app store is your only option. (P.S. To even get 10.7, you have to call Apple at 1-800-MY-APPLE and buy a download code. Lion is not availible on the app store without a code).
