Is 5.1.1 really the latest iOS version for the original iPad?

I am trying to download the DirectTV app that comes up in the app store to my ipad and get message that iOS version 6.1 is required.  In settings, the iPad is on version 5.1.1 and says the software is up to date.  Is 5.1.1 really the latest OS for my iPad, meaning I cannot use the DirectTV online service? 

So true.
Apple controls the iTunes store and decides what apps get in. They could force app developers to have their apps work with older iOS systems, but instead, it's in apples best interest to force you to go buy a new tablet every three years. Apple doesn't care that iPad1 owners are the ones that made the tablet successful for apple. If they cared about their customers, if they wanted brand loyalty, apple would offer to buy back ipad1s for a decent amount that could be put toward a newer iPad. Apple lost my business. If 'technology dictates' that I have to get a new tablet every three years, I'm gonna go with a less expensive other brand.

  • What's the latest firmware version for the Xperia Tablet Z?

    What's the latest firmware version for the Xperia Tablet Z?
    According to the Swedish and British Sony website, the latest version for the Xperia Tablet Z is 10.1.1.A.1.253 released on 17th of May.
    But this is the latest version for the Xperia Z (phone) not the tablet Z... Or am I wrong?
    It's a bit confusing, when the manufacturer cannot keep track of the phone and tablet...
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Depends on if you have the WiF version or the LTE version. For LTE the latest is 10.1.1.A.1.253 and for WiFi it's 10.1.C.0.344.

  • What is the latest software version for the Nokia ...

    So this is really just a token post to keep my service provider happy (no idea why I have to do all the asking for them when we both already know the answer) but can I please have a confirmation of the latest software versoin for the Nokia 6700 Slide.
    On a side note it would be greatly appreciated if you could PLEASE send a copy of the latest version of the software to my carrier (Vodafone Australia) so that they can finally push out the latest version of the software.
    Thanks, swinsor

    v71.004 seems to be the last released update. If the phone is Network branded your device may / may not get this update. Anyway, the update was released long ago. 
    This being a User-to-User Forum, can't do anything else than providing the info. 

  • I have the original Ipad. How do I download the latest iOS upgrade on my original Ipad?

    How do I upgrade to the latest iOS with my original IPad?

    See
    iOS 5: Updating your device to iOS 5
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
    iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect to your computer & click on the "Update your device using iTunes".
    Tip - You may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. After you update to iOS 5.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

  • What is the latest FW version for the X6

    Nokia's Indian call center really are useless.
    They tell me the reason I cant access the ovi store is because I dont have the latest firmware.
    The firmware on my phone is v12
    The latest firmware, according to them is v11.
    They don't seem to understand that perhaps their information is wrong, and that I must speak to my network to get the latest firmware or they can't help me!
    So what IS the latest firmware for the X6?
    I really hate offshore call centres where if your problem doesn't fit the script then they just freak out. It's like they are robots or something.

    Take them however you want but keep in mind that getting annoyed on this forum will not get you an official response. This is primarily a forum where people help each other, not a place for getting help from nokia.
    FYI, I don't make stuff up, I was simply relaying problems reported on other threads and sites in an attempt to be helpful. 
    As for support nearly all companies are as bad as each other nowadays thanks to call centres.

      If there is no pressing reason to update the phone, I would wait. There are alot of people that are having problems with the phone when they did the upgrades. Missed calls/texts, dropped calls, freezing, etc.
      Gingerbread is rumored to be in the works for the Fascinate, hopefully soon...

  • I have updated my 3Gs to the latest ios version , during the process something went wronge and itunes restored my phone without back up. Due to that I lost all my data including the address book and the most important thing is my photos and videos. please

    i have tries almost every thing on the web and recomended by google and friends. please help

    Go to iTunea>Preferences>Devices and see if there is a backupright at the time you did the update. Then try restoring from that backup. If the apps are in your iTunes library, any app data will be restored to the iPod.
    When restoring from an iOS 4 (or later) backup, if the device had a passcode set, iTunes will ask if you want to set a passcode (and remind you that you had protected your device with a passcode). iTunes will not ask you to set a passcode when restoring from iOS 3.x and prior backups.
    Therefore, remembe the passcode that you enter this time.
    It appears that if you restore from a backup, that backup is not subseqyently overwritten by the next backup.

  • When i tried updating my iphone 4 to the latest IOS version 7.1.1 and at the end of the update it has the icon connect to itunes. When i try connecting to itunes it still doesnt program. Why is this? How can i fix it?

    When i tried updating my iphone 4 to the latest IOS version 7.1.1 it was updating until the end of the update where it had an icon which said connect to itunes. When i try connecting to itunes on my laptop it still doesnt program, by the way my itunes has the latest updae. Why is this? How can i fix it?

    Hey there Raymondd2014,
    It sounds like you had been updating the phone and now it is in recovery mode. Take a look at this info first:
    If you started your device in recovery mode by mistake, restart it to exit recovery mode. Or you can just wait—after 15 minutes the device will exit recovery mode by itself.
    If you are unable to get out of Recovery Mode, use the following article to restore your device with iTunes:
    If you can't update or restore your iOS device

    If you don't see your device in iTunes follow these steps for Windows.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Sterling

    You would only be able to restore to a backup to iCloud or iTunes:

  • I just upgraded my iPhone 5s yesterday to the latest iOS version. Today, I can't get FaceBook to open at all on my phone. Any ideas?

    I just upgraded my iPhone 5s yesterday to the latest iOS version. Today, I can't get the facebook app on my phone to even open. Any ideas?  I already tried shutting the phone off and restarting, but it didn't change anything. Thanks for any suggestions that will help.

    Do you have the latest FaceBook app version installed?
    If so, try a reset which is similar to a computer restart and is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release.

    I've installed the latest ios 6 however, the sound has gone from all programs , music , youtube any help
    iPhone 4, iOS 6
    The ringtones are working but all other sounds are not working please help

    I had this problem on my iPod Touch 4g. Just press the home and sleep button. Wait and it will give an iTunes and cable logo. Now you can put in DFU mode (Hold Sleep and Home button 10 seconds and then release the power button kand keep pressing on the home button.) Now you will be able to restore it in iTunes.
    If you didn't sell it in al this time
