IPad 1, iOS 5.1.1 and Apple Store app

Lauch the Apple store app, tells me to upgrade to latest iOS and app version.
Takes me to App store.
Asks if I want to download older version for my iPad.
Click Yes, it downloads and starts all over again.
Anyone getting the Apple Store app to work on iPad 1?

Not at all this is just the march of progress. I have an iPad 1 too (and a bronze keyboard Powerbook and several other obsolete computers), but I don't use it anymore as I realise it's nothing but a museum piece nowadays. It says right there on the App Store page for the app that the current release is only compatible with iOS 6 and above. So that rules out the iPad 1.
Except that I (and everyone else) can now download the previous version of apps that are compatible with their device (though It was already installed and didn't need to be redownloaded).
Apple really shouldn't allow you to download and install the new Apple Store app on an iPad 1,
They don't allow you to do it. They specifically tell you that you cannot and then allow you to download the latest compatible version.
This was a recent change by Apple.
The iPad 1 is now four generations of hardware (and two major software releases) behind the current systems, you can't expect app developers (including Apple) to keep supporting such old software and hardware
Yes I can expect this.
Restore the connection to the store through the app that Apple allow sme to redownload.
(though the connection issue may be a "glitch"/bug and not intentionally disabled).

Even if you put a credit or debit card on file with iTunes it will still use your balance FIRST.
I would suggest putting a card on file and testing to see if it will allow you to make a purchase, then removing the card from the account after successful download of an item.

No Mirroring in Ipad 2? I have IPAD2 and Apple Tv 4.3. I can airplay videos/music from Ipad2 to my HDTV via ATV, but I cant mirror it. When I select airplay to switch from Ipad2 to Apple TV, Mirroring does not show as an option. What am I missing?

I'm trying to update my iPad to iOS 8.1.2 and it won't update?

I'm trying to update my iPad to iOS 8.1.2 and it won't update?

Is it perhaps downloading the update?
Have you tried rebooting the iPad? Hold down the home and power/sleep buttons for 10 to 15 seconds or until the Apple logo appears. This should reboot the iPad. Then try the update again.
If all else fails, you can try to update through iTunes on a computer.

I updated my iPad 4 iOS 8.0.2 and the camera does not work, ... Please help

I updated my iPad 4 iOS 8.0.2 and the camera does not work and hangs and unconnected, .... Please help me in this question,... Thanks in advance

You're welcome, but I didn't do anything. Try closing the camera app completely and reset your iPad and maybe that will help.
In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

If it's an Intel Mac, you can upgrade it to Mac OS X 10.6.8.
If it's a PowerPC Mac, you need to use these instructions and/or iTunes Match to put content on the iPad.

HT204053 why does my ipad "Apple Store" app, not recognize me when i try to log in using my apple id? i use only one apple id for both store and iCloud and know i am keying correctly. hmmm.

we use a pc to hold all of our media but are two ppl in the household. we both log into itunes and apple store using our own passwords. recently on my ipad i was no longer able to upgrade/log in the apple store because when it asks for my password it prompts for my partners password and it doesn't recognize me. also, oddly, my partner added an app that i also want to add on his ipad. when i attempted to add that app using my apple id log in it thinks i'm him and prompts for his password on my ipad therefore leaving me no way to have that app. how do i get my app store to function again (recognize me) and how can we finally figure out how to separate the media so i don't get his apps on my devices and mine on his (and then not be able to access them b/c we don't share passwords)? please help.

Open the App Store app, go to the Featured pane, swipe to the bottom, tap the Apple ID and sign out. Tap again and sign in with the Apple ID of your choosing.
