IPad 1st Generation: Blank Screen

Tried all the 'standard" troubleshooting techniques... Battery shows fully charged (100%) when connected to iTunes.
Screen remains blank (canot see anything)
After a hard restore I can hear the voice ("iPad image" "iPad locked", "screen locked", etc) but cannto see any image
This iPad is 1st Generation, never dropped, no water damage.. always incased in armor shell ...
Weird, it happens all of the sudden after a regular charging period.

You cannot remove the battery on the iPad. If it is getting very hot, unplug it from power, if it's plugged in and set it down somewhere to let it cool off. Set it on something that cannot catch fire - as bizarre as that sounds. Set it on something that will not burn.
After it has cooled off, then try to restart it. If it will not start, try a reset.
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.

IPhone 4s iOS 6.0.1 and iPad 1st gen. iOS 5.0. What do I need to do?

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:
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

Video Thumbnail images gone - iPad 1st gen, iOS5

After updgrading my iPad 1st gen to iOS5, all of my video thumbnail images are gone.
The iPad just displays a white box with a gray flat screen TV icon for every video file listed under Movies or TV Shows
This is most troublesome when I touch the TV Shows button and I get a page full of those white boxes with the TV icon - and, as has always been the case, there is no name for the TV show. So I'm lost in the white boxes trying to find LOST the TV show.
Any thoughts on how I get my thumbnails back?

If they are in your iTunes library on your computer why don't you try syncing again. Make sure that all of the shows are selected to sync along with the sync Movies heading and then sync again.
If they are only on the iPad it might be a good idea to transfer the purchases into the iTunes library. Connect the iPad to the computer, launch iTunes and right click on the device name and select Transfer Purchases.
If you have tried syncing, try restarting, resetting and quitting the videos app.
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.
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.
To quit the videos app - Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you 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 to close the apps. 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.

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 external cam?

so i bought the ipad 1st gen a month b4 the ipad 2 came out.. any external cam in the worx yet? if your wondering y i bought it is because i had no idea an ipad 2 was in the making

"i dont think anyone would buy this ipad since the ipad 2 is so much better and about the same price"
This is a really silly statement... There is nothing "so much better" about the iPad 2. Just like the 4s, the iPad 2 was a bit of a dud product (not innovative at all, despite what apple says about ALL their products.) There will be a lot of really big features in the both the iPad 3 and the iPhone 5, though! Save your money, and buy those when they come out early this year (as someone else mentioned, this is all predictable so wait to purchase things based on the cycles!) Look for key features like the screen resolution, camera megapixel count, flash/no flash etc. As far as the iPad 2 is concerned, I own an iPad 1 and never have I thought to myself "I wish I had a camera", thus save for 2 games I've encountered (requires iPad2) there is no limitation to having an iPad 1 over the 2 save for the camera. Clearly you were looking for this feature, so I get that you want a 2, but others WILL buy your iPad 1 as most do not need the camera

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

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!

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.

A friend gifted me a copy of The Amazing Spider-man, I redeemed the code, now it tells me I can't download it onto my Ipad (1st Gen) because it does not have a gyroscope. Is there a way for my friend to get his money back, or a way for me to download it?

As a second option I can play on my 1st gen Ipod Touch. Does that have a gyroscope?

Contact iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history or,
iTunes Customer Service Contact - http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact.html > Get iTunes support via Express Lane > iTunes > iTunes Store - Apple states all sales are final, but you can always ask nicely. Your friend should have checked the specifications of your ipad before making the gift.

My ipad 4th gen touch screen is not working in one area

I had a screen replacement and now the Ipad 4th gen touch screen is not working in one area ( a strip across the middle). We tried 3 different touch screens with digitizer...any ideas?

Since Apple doesn't replace screens, they replace the iPad, I presume you had your screen replaced by an unauthorized service provider or perhaps you replaced it yourself. That voids the warranty and the ability to get assistance from Apple. If someone else replaced your screen take it back to them and demand the correct the problem.
