IPad (1st Gen) App crashes - Benefits of restoring?

I have an original iPad 32Gb. I am now experiencing apps occasionally crashing including Apple's own Safari. This can happen even if it is the only App running. It is more of an annoyance than anything, but I was wondering if there would be any benefits of me restoring the iPad or just a waste of time?
My gut feeling is iOS and Apps have grown to take advantage of iPad 2 and the new iPad and my original A4 chip is struggling in the process?

i think restoring your ipad should solve your problem! even i have an ipad 1! and it works absolutely fine ! the only app i have seen crashing is infinity blade( that to works in 2-3 times)!
also u can try hard rebooting your ipad!
and ur worry aboout apps being for ipad 2 and new! there are separate apps for them which you will be told while downloading that are incompatible with your ipad!
so i think restoring shoudl do the trick! first try hard reboot! i.e ipad power off!

IPad 1st Gen Apps Crashing (Mail, Settings, etc.)

Having problems with my iPad 1st Gen. OS 5.1.1 All Apps are crashing when trying to enter text in a "search" area. Mail App, Settings App and other Apple Apps are crashing as they open. Can't save any artwork to Photo Album. Can't Transfer Files.
I tried to do a RESTORE. Keeps "Timing Out" on me.

Ipad 1st gen keeps crashing since 5.1

My 1st gen ipad keeps locking up and then rebooting to the apple logo since updating to 5.1. It doesn't seem to matter how long the device has been in use, there is no pattern in terms of which apps are being used. I've reset to factory in itunes and restored from a back-up, took several tries because ipad kept rebooting while trying to transfer purchased items to itunes. Finally got those to complete and then performed the wipe and restore. Issue persists. Occasionally screen will go "crazy" before crashing producing oddly colored rectangles all over the screen. This usually requires a manual hard reset (sleep and home button for 10 seconds) before reboot will occur. I heard this may have something to do with multi-touch navigation so I turned that off. No difference. I've noticed a trend towards certain apps causing this more readily than others (mail app, moog anology synth app, snyth x app, all of the korg apps, beatmaker 2, etc), but it doesn't seem to really matter. Basically things that worked without issue ever, are suddenly locking up or rebooting my ipad. Right now it rebooted while trying to terminate apps running in background (a grand total of 3), which is something I do rather religiously to free up memory. Some crashes are just a black screen that wont go away unless a manual reset is performed.
I use this device quite extensively for the music apps (which at this point is also a rather hefty dollar investment in and of itself), but the crashing issue is out of control. Is there a way to downgrade the device to 4.3 or even 5.0 (I had zero problems with 5.0 oddly enough) without jailbreaking it?
I'm willing to admit (begrudgingly) that this could be a hardware failure and I'm SOL. I'd like to be able to at least try another version of iOS to either confirm or deny that is the issue.
Just did the rainbow rectangles of death again, manual reboot, automatic reboot, lock to black screen, manual reboot, and now it says the battery is empty ,but it was just at 80%. *** is going on with thing?

I ended up doing that the other day. I was told that there was an error in updating the firmware to iOS 5.1 and that it wasn't rewrite-able and not fixable. I was further told that there is probably a problem with the dock connector which probably caused the update to write data intermittently. Additionally I was told that as I didn't opt for apple care, my 1 year warranty expired 1 month 2 weeks ago (I bought the iPad 13 1/2 months ago), and that a replacement would be over $250 and a decent amount of wait time, which because of contracted work load I can't afford to miss out on I couldn't wait the time it would take for shipping.
I have two real problems with what I was told: 1. I didn't use the dock connector to update the iOS, I did that wirelessly through the settings app. 2. I was told Apple's iOS update broke my previously fully functional iPad.
I ended up replacing it with an iPad 2 16gb wifi model, which they insisted they didn't have, but actually did. In my choice of either white or black. There was a real strong push for me to drop $500 for an iPad 3 without much consideration to the fact that I did that just over a year ago.
Lesson learned on my part, if I didn't need that apps I've already purchased that I use to generate income, I'd be done with the iPad forever.

Ipad 1st gen app store sign in needs newest ios7 to verify?

i have 1st gen ipad with my account singed in originaly. im giving this to my dad and created an account just for him. after i sign out of my account and tried to sign in with his, it'll always pop out saying requires the latest versioin of ios and won't connect to itunes store... but isn't ios7 its not available for 1st gen.....pls help.

It sounds like you're trying to use the same version of iTunes to manage both your and your dad's accounts. I suggest not doing that.
Set him up with his own version of iTunes, possibly using a different user name on the same computer, or a different computer.

Crash after restoring iPad 1st GEN

Hello all,
Okay, I have an iPad 1st gen and until today it had never been synced with a computer.
So I installed iTunes my entered apple id and password then began downloading the iOS update. (so far so good)
I synced and made a backup restore of ipad and began installing iOS update
upon completion of the installation which took like an hour or more, i was greeted with an error that said it had failed to update and recommended restoring
it. So I obliged and started the restore process now the ipad wants me too set it up, thats fine with me.
Well partway through the setup it asks me for a sim and PUK number which I do not have because this iPad has never had a sim in it ever?
I run internet off of it using a Verizon MIFI box and now I cant finish the installation without a sim? it has never had one so what do I do?
The installation wont complete without a sim so what do I do?

IPad 1st gen iOS 5.1.1 crashes on all apps!

Several years ago I bought my wife an ipad 1st gen, which is still is mint condition, however last year it started to randomly close apps, safari....bloody everything really. I decided recently to get my wife the new ipad air and I took ownership of the 1st gen, I thought it might be crashing due to the amount of apps and memory use from those apps. I reset the 1st gen through itunes and loaded a few apps, problem is, it still closes apps and browsers after between 1 minutes and 5 minutes of opening. This is extremely frustrating as it kicks me out of work links through citrix and something as simple as reading the news on a website. The ipad has become a dust collector as such, since there appears no way of using this enjoyably.
Any ideas out there?
Thank you

I had synced with my computer on itunes before I did the update, but in my itunes I only see my apps music and photos. I see nothing about your calander on itunes. I did not have the cloud untill this update, so it would not be there.

Some books form iTunes Store makes iBooks crash on iPad 1st Gen

I have had this problem only once before when I bought "The Fifth Witness" by Michael Connelly.
It would open to the first page and then automatically go back the the home page. I would try again and noticed the little dots at the bottom
move 1/4 to half way and iBooks would crash again! This became very frustrating as there is no explanation online about this particular
problem.
Then my wife got her iPad 2 and I downloaded the same book to hers and it loaded without a problem!
The same thing happened this week when I bought "Foundation".. it just crashes on my iPad 1st gen but not on the iPad 2.
I have even tried closing all other aplications as to give iBooks all the resources my iPad has to offer, and the same thing happened.
I love the new iPad but cant put reason to buying a new one because there is nothing wrong with my old one.
From my experience it appears as though some of the books in the iTunes store are only compatible with the new generation devices.
This leaves the rest of us who have devices that are barely a year old to find other ways to use the item we have purchased for use on Apple products!
I know I'm not the only person having this particular problem. My wife and I own quite a few apple products. This is the only one that frustrates me.
Apple please fix this one!

iBooks app has just been updated to v 1.3.1 ; Apple says it fixes some "stability and performance issues".
Launch the AppStore and look under updates .

Hi Demo,
Yes, I have not made myself clear, I apologise.
I have tried downloading apps from itunes in order to set up a game for my son, when I go to click on a link, be this in itunes, or on the web, Safari revolts back informing the address is invalid. I read by coping a link and pasting into the URL, this would do it, but not so.
My goal then, is to install Minecraft for my son, I would then download an app to allow this but I am unable to get this far due to Safari insulting the address I ask it to go to
The iPad is first generation
OS 5.1.1 Software up to date.
Thank you in advance for your time

I recently upgrade to an iPAD Air. I gave my old iPAD (1st gen) to my wife. I restored it to original factory conditions. Now we cannot install iBook on it since it requires iOS 7. What can we do with older iPADS that are still 100% functional.

What can we do with older iPADS that are still 100% functional except for the fact that you cannot updrade the iOS above version 5?

Look at this similar problem in getting Netflix on an iPad 1. Same technique should work for you.

HT4108 Why does an iPad (1st gen) and the Photos app using VGA adapter

Why does an iPad (1st gen) using iOS 5.1 and the Photos app not send a single photo to a projector while a slideshow is sent photo by photo?

I am not 100% sure, but i believe the iPad only does mirroring when connecting with AppleTV. AV cables will output audio and video out the bottom of the iPad (30-pin connector) to a TV/monitor, but the iPad screen itself will only show video controls (play/pause, FF, RW, Done, Progression bar). If your cables say otherwise I am interested to know what brand they are and where you got them. If you are not getting any video at all the cables are probably not Apple approved and dont have the special chip in the 30-pin connector that allows for video transition.

Ipad 1st gen: Pinterest no longer working in Safari

I have an Ipad 1st Gen. I have been using Pinterest in Safari with no problems...until now. When I try to go to the website in Safari, it automatically redirects me to download the app. Is there a way to fix this?
I cannot download the app because my IOS is updated as far as it can go, and the Pinterest app requires an IOS higher than what I have.

Ii's not just 1st gen iPads. I have the same issue with my iPad 3. Whether I clickEd my bookmark or manually typed the Pinterest URL, I was immediate redirected to the app. I don't like the Pinterest app, so I deleted it. Now when I try to go to the website, I am redirected to the App Store. So frustrating!
ive complained to Pinterest via Twitter and left a one-star review in the App Store, but have not received a reply, nor have I been able to find a workaround. For now, I'm using Pinterest only on my desktop computer, but I really miss browsing Pinterest on my iPad.
if anyone figures out a workaround, please post!

Wifi connection problem between iPhone 4s iOS 6.0.1 and iPad 1st gen. iOS 5.0. What do I need to do? I've reset the network on each and nothing. Please help.

Some things to try first:

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
