IPad 1st Gen stopped typing: the keypad won't even appear. Everything else works.

My daughter's 1st gen iPad suddenly won't type: the keypad won't appear. Sound works, touch works to open apps and play games, just no typing. I've tried restoring it, same problem.

You don't use a Bluetooth keyboard with the iPad do you? If you do, turn the Bluetooth keyboard off and turn Bluetooth off in the iPad settings as well. If that is not the situation, reboot your iPad.
Reboot 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.

TS3274 When I try to type in the search window the letter doesn't stay. Everything else works except the search box.

Search box won't let me type in it

OK. You can't type in any text field is what you are saying.
You have not been using a Bluetooth keyboard with the iPad have you? Of you were, make sure that the keyboard is turned off and turn Bluetooth off as well.
If that is not the issue here, reboot your iPad.

Everything works on my I tunes on my PC except the store it will not load, I get a blank screen. I have not changed anything on my computer since the last time I bought a song.

Hi ..
Disable anti virus software then try iTunes.
And make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed > Apple - iTunes - Download iTunes Now

Dreamweaver CC2014.1 won't launch. Everything else works fine.

When I launch Dreamweaver CC 2014.1 the icon jumps but nothing happens. I have all other CC software working fine. My DreamWeaver CS5 is working fine. I have installed JAVA 8, I do not get any pop up about Java SE 6.

Ask in the DW forum and provide exact system info. Sounds like some of the startup scripts are not working.

IPad (1st gen.) headphone jack just stopped working, Internal speaker works fine

iPad (1st gen.) headphone jack just stopped working, Internal speaker works fine

If the headphones work in another device, then the headphones are OK.
If different headphones work in the iPad, then the iPad is OK. If not, check the headphone socket for fluff ot other debris. If you see nothing, try repeated plugging and unplugging several times.
Resetting the ipad may do the trick as well.

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.

Is the Ipad 1st gen compatible with Avid Studio ? I can't find the answer on iTunes

Go to the app store and read the full descriptions.
Avid appears to be, but with limited functionality. iMovie, no.

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!

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

IMovie on iPad 1st gen

Just wondered if anyone knows if iMovie will work with the 1st gen iPad?
The info on the Apple site shows the iPad 2 as one of the compatible devices but I can't for the life of me think why it would not be compatible whith the iPad 1st gen? Yes it doesn't have a camera but importing footage from and external video camera is pretty straight forward and lets be honest however the great the iPad 2 camera is it's not exactly practical!
Interested to hear people ideas.

I will be one of the (up to 15 million) Gen I iPad users that will be terribly upset if Apple doesn't support both iMovie and Garage Band on the original iPad w/vers 4.3.1.
Many video cameras record direct to QuickTime format(.MOV) and I have purchased the camera kit etc. just for moving files to edit on my iPad. ReelDirector works but its output resolution is limited (it's really designed for iPhone native resolution).
On another topic, the only reason I haven't purchased the Guitar accessory (Amplitude Rig) is because I can currently plug directly into my Macbook. With Garage Band on iPad, now the Guitar Rig for iPad looks more enticing.
I believe Mr. Jobs, in his iPad II keynote said "now the iPad 1 was no slouch when it came to processing power..." (before announcing the new chipset).
Please Apple, don't leave some of us 15 million iPad 1 supporters in the rain a mere 11 months after we bought our iPad 1!!
P.S. As I typed this, I just got an e-mail from Best-Buy that ALL iPad 1's were on sale for $100 off original price (until supplies last)
