IPAD problems - last IOS vresion is 5.1.1

Hi
I bought my IPAD in 2011, but currently I'm having problems with some apps. The last IOS version installed is 5.1.1. It means that doesn't support the most recent versions? And I need to buy a most recent IPAD to work with IOS7? Please help me. thanks
Mário

I have spent ages trying to find out how to update my old iPad to a higher iOS version only to find out from you guys that this is going to be impossible!!! But hey, thanks to you guys I won't have to waste any more time trying to whip a dead horse..............Apple should be ashamed for putting out a product that becomes un-updatable and obsolete just after a year.  What a bloody waste of money.

  • IPad problems since iOS 8 update

    Since updating our 2 iPad 2's  to iOS 8.0.2 we have experienced a number of operating problems. After a while we loose the cellular network and have to reboot. They are sluggish and stutter when shifting from screen to screen, they freeze up, and generally operate like they have a virus or have run out of memory. I also now have unwanted and unasked for aps that magically appeared after the upgrade. Downloading of Aps should be my choice and not theirs...If Apple is going to provide updates it would be a good idea if they tested it on all the products they plan to push it out to. Seems like they missed the iPad 2. I would love to go back to when my iPad really worked....

    Hi ..
    First, keep your iOS iPad software up todate.
    Tap Settings > General > Software Update. The iOS 8.1 update should be available.
    When you post for help, just saying, "4th generation has not worked properly", doesn't give us much to go on for advice for troubleshooting.
    Please reply with specific details.

  • No sound in apps. New iPad problem or iOS 5.1 problem?

    I had a problem where app sounds would not play unless I had headphones in, though music always worked. I read a recently solved issue where someone had a similar problem. Notifications were not muted, sound was at full volume. I did everything I could to get sound to work properly and have discovered a bug.
    Unless the physical toggle switch is dedicated to mute or un-mute instead of orientation lock, app sounds are not regulated correctly. If you are having problems with sound only working in music, you may be one of the many who repurposed your physical toggle switch.
    Change it back to mute or unmute, and everything should be fine.
    I'm also guessing that if you mute your iPad with the toggle switch and then dedicate it to orientation lock, the iPad remembers both your mute dedication, and your orientation toggle, however switching up or down only affects the current purpose even if it remembers the settings for both.
    Let me know if this helps.

    I use the side switch for screen orientation lock and have no issues with sound whatsoever in any apps and never did.
    You do know that you can control system sounds via the task bar  - if you are using the side switch for screen lock like I do - when you double tap the home button and swipe all the way to the right to get to the mute icon on the left side?
    Are you familiar with this? This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

  • HT4623 Sound and other problems with Ipad 3 after ios 6.1.3 update

    I purchased Ipad 3 last year and got problem of losing sound when I restored the Ipad throgh itunes. The sound came back automatically after I charged the device to 100%. Recently I got the same problem when the operating system was Ios 6.1.2 and then i got updated it to ios 6.1.3. The problem has not been solved while has been added up. Now the Ipad operation is slow, its either freezes and crashes frequently. Once it gets in sleep mode then it does not come back untill i press power button and home button togehter for sometime. I have checked all settings like mute and have restored the ios multiple times on two separate PCs but the problem is still there. Please help me what i need to do next.

    Try a reboot of your ipad. Hold the Sleep/Wake button and Home button simulataneously. Keep holding, ignoring the red slider, until the Apple logo appears. Release the buttons and let the ipad restart. A reboot often fixes numerous problems.
    Also are you aware that by suncing with a different computer it is likely the personal stuff you had on your ipad from your imac will be removed?
    The ipad is designed to sync with only one device.

  • TS2326 I cannot make any calls or receive any calls since my last iOS update. Does anyone know how to fix this problem

    I cannot make any calls or receive calls from my iPhone after my last update. My phone advises callers I am unavailable and when I try to make calls it takes ages whilst it tries to connect then disabled itself and says call failed. Has anybody else had this problem or does anyone know how to fix it?

    Hi Milrclan,
    Thanks for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.

  • Problem with updating apps in Ipad 3 with ios 7.1

    I have an Ipad 3 with ios 7.1. From April, 2014 I am having this strange problem. My Ipad apps won't update both manually and automatically. Everytime I have to "Reset all settings" in the Ipad and then only the apps would update. So please suggest how to solve this problem.

    sorry, but i don't know :-(

  • There is no option to reject an incoming call in locked screen, there must be an icon on the screen for one who don't want to use lock button several times, i did'nt face this problem in last ios 6.1.3.

    A good read. Have you done anything at all to resolve your problem. Reset? Restore?
    By the way - "your products"... nobody here produced the iPhone, we are all just users. Apple is not here.

  • HT201210 update Ipad 2 to IOS 5.1.1 backup problems

    When I try to update my Ipad 2 to IOS 5.1.1 a message says the backup could not be saved. Try again. How can I solve this problem? Thank you....I work with MAC and Windows 7...

    There is no problem. That is how this process works. You should backup the iPad, and transfer purchases before you update the iOS.

    Who can shed some light on my ongoing connection problem.
    After upgrading my iPad Air with IOS 7.06, I could no longer connect to the internet.
    I have 2 MacBooks Air, 1 ipad mini and one iPhone 4S running on the same network, and they are all connected to the net and function well.
    So I cleaned up the ipad completely, installed the latest firmware and reinstalled my apps : no connection.
    I tried all things of resets and forgets. No result.
    I have been fondling with my Airport Extreme 5 , but that did not help much.
    This morning I went to a neighbor , hooked my ipad air on his network, typed the password and the thing all worked fine.
    I have tried to connect the ipad air as an ethernet client, but that did not work. „Not enough power“ was the statement
    Ideas anyone ?

    Yes I tried this manyfold. But did not work.  Reading on, I took Tesserac's advice. Shut down router and computer.
    Start router after 15 minutes and wait another 10 minutes before starting the computer.
    Et voila.... everything is back in working order,

  • My iPad mini is no longer updating since last iOS update

    My iPad mini is no longer updating through iTunes since the last iOS update.

    Thanks Texas Mac Man.  My iPad is running 7.0.6 and it was after that update my iPad was no longer syncing through iTunes on my laptop.  My iPhone, also on 7.0.6, has no issues.  Earlier this morning I tried again, hooking my iPad up to iTunes and left them alone for a couple of hours and it never progressed past "syncing notes."

  • It's now over 6 weeks since I made the mistake of updating my iPad and I am furious and frustrated at the lack of a solution to the problem with ios 5 audio app missing lyrics

    It’s now over 6 weeks since I made the mistake of updating my iPad and I am furious and frustrated at the lack of a solution to the problem with ios 5.
    I recently updated to ios 5.1 but nothing has been done to rectify the audio app problems ie lyrics no longer shown,
    I am extremely disappointed and angrywith those responsible for the iOS 5 update, in regard to the way it hasaffected the music app in my iPad.
    I also own an iPhone 4, am an avid Apple fan, and up until now have beenextremely pleased with the devices, and have sung their praises to friends andassociates.
    I am a professional musician, and purchased an iPad primarily to use with theperformance of my music.
    The changes made to the music app affected my performances over the weekendextremely adversely – limiting my repertoire and causing confusion and delays.
    I have spent many hours talking withApple helpline assistants (who, incidentally have been very good and have triedto help), and I have also spent a lot of time on this letter.
    I greatly regret updating to iOS 5.
    There are two major problems with the music app.
    1. Lyrics no longer displayed
    2. Layout, and appearance and consequently performance have seriouslyregressed.
    I have a repertoire of around 500 song backing tracks, organised into about 20playlists, half of which featured lyrics / chords that I have spent monthsrecently entering into iTunes so that they could be used on my iPad.
    These were working fine up until the update - now they are gone.
    Previously, the app featured large icons for playlist, artists, songs etc. atbottom of page: Now there are small, grey, indistinct barely legible buttons.
    Previously, when playlist icon was selected - all the playlists were listedclearly in order on the left hand side in black on white (as in iTunes).
    Now they are scattered across the whole page in large squares (displayingnothing if there is no album art).
    The identifying wording below eachsquare is now small, grey, indistinct & barely legible.
    Previously, when a playlist was selected - the songs were displayed in adescending list in black & white: now they appear as small, grey indistinct & barely legible.
    Previously, when a song was selected - it appeared filling the page, and withaudio controls clearly positioned at top of screen. One tap would bring uplyrics.
    Now audio controls appear at top once again small, grey, indistinct &barely legible.
    A small square representsalbum art which if tapped fills page. A further tap fails to bring up lyrics.

    Lyrics aren't supported in the Music app on iOS 5 on the iPad. These are user-to-user forums, they are not monitored by Apple (there are too many forums/threads/messages for that to happen). If you want to leave feedback for Apple then you can do so here : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

  • HT4623 I tried to update my ipad air to IOS 7.1 but it shows error that "The software for the iphone was corrupted during download" How can I fix this problem ?

    I tried to update my ipad air from IOS 7.0.4 to 7.1 on iTunes. I clicked download and update, it started to download normally but when download finished iTunes shows error that "The software for the iphone was corrupted during download".
    How can I fix this error ?

    I had the same problem. In the end I downloaded it manually. Here's the steps assuming you are on a Mac and have an iPad Air (Wifi). If not you can find other restore links here.
    In the terminal (it kept failing to download in Safari):
    curl http://appldnld.apple.com/iOS7.1/031-4521.20140310.D2Ydl/iPad4,1_7.1_11D167_Rest ore.ipsw >>~/Desktop/iPad4,1_7.1_11D167_Restore.ipsw
    Once the file has downloaded, move it to ~/Library/iTunes/iPad Software Updates/
    Quit and relaunch iTunes.
    Should now work for you.
