Is there a way to update 1st gen iPad past 5.1.1?

Is there a way to update 1st gen iPad past 5.1.1?

Yes but if I just wanted to get on the Internet I could have just bought a cheap tablet I can throw away when nothing works but Internet access. Wont b long and all the apps will b outdated. And it slower going through safari to access my outdated apps and not near as convenient. I was going to get an iPad air but I figure it will b almost useless in two or three years.

  • Updated 1st gen iPad, unable to access apps.

    I recently updated my 1st gen iPad and my pictures and music seems to have transferred but none of my apps did. I can see them but cannot open them, they are dark in appearance as they look before they have completed downloading. I accessed the app store and was able to download a new app...

    I plugged in my ipad and ITunes says "iTunes was interrupted while restoring the contents of the iPad. Would you like to retore this iPad again now?". I pressed continue restore and a message came up that says "An error occurred while restoring this iPad (-1)". Im not sure where to go from here, or how to "unsync" and "resync".

  • Is there a way to update earlier model ipads

    I gave my wife a ipad for xmas a few years ago and I would like to know if there are updates for it and how can we get them. S/NDM*******FHW

    That is an iPad 2, which can be upgraded to iOS 8.3.
    If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade, paying particular attention to the "Update your device using iTunes" section near the bottom.

    Information regarding transferring purchases from your iDevice to iTunes on your syncing computer can be found at the link below.

  • HT4972 Is there a way to update my iPad 1st generation to ios6?

    Is there a way to update my iPad 1st generation to ios6? There are so many apps that I need and will not download without it.  My iPad works great so there's no reason to upgrade yet...

    The iPad 1 can not be upgraded beyond 5.1.1.

  • My sister gave me her 1st gen iPad to see if I could solve an issue.  It won't turn on, and when it's plugged into a power cord there is a slow pulsing sort of flash that happens on the screen....any ideas?

    Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank power On again in the normal way.] It is absolutely/appsolutely safe! Now see if it charges normally and after a period try to turn it on again. If the batter has been drained it could take 20 minutes or so for it to show that it is charging.
    Also considering if the battery need replacing!

  • Is there a way to update my itouch 4.2.1 on my iMac 10.7.2 so that I can use iCloud on the touch?  I want to sync my calendar.

    It depends which generation of iPod Touch you have.
    The 2nd generation Touch can only use iOS 4.2.1 as the latest version. You can identify the 2nd gen Touch from the model number etched into the back of the case, it's A1288.
    The 3rd gen Touch (and above) can install iOS 5. The 3rd gen Touch has model number A1318 etched into the back of the case.
    (The 4th gen has a camera, front and back.)

  • Is there a way to update an external dictionary for services without migrating the services

    Is there a way to update an external dictionary for services without migrating the services
    Is there a way to update a common external dictionary used by many services without migrating each and every service that uses the dictionary.  I have updated the table in the database and the external dictionary in our Development Environment. The external dictionary is used by many services. When I migrate the changed service to TEST/STAGE/PROD environments (NOTE: the table has been updated in the TEST/STAGE/PROD Databases), only the changed service is having the external dictionary updated. All other services that use the same external dictionary are NOT updated. I have the following questions
    Is it possible to migrate dictionaries so that all the services which are using that dictionary are updated?
    If the first one is not possible, Is there any other way to update the external dictionary without migrating all the services that use dictionary?

    dont think so but I could be wrong
    as it were I didn't like the build in audio so I connected some external logictech 2.1 speakers  but there
    are times when I use headset so I bought this one
    or any minijack splitter will work too so I have 2 things connected to the headset port works just fine

  • I'm trying to upate my mother in-law iPad2 to ios 5 from the same win. pc that my iPhone 4 is connected.  I don't want to transfer her purchase items, photos, ... to my library.  Is there a way to update without loosing anything on the iPad?

    Warning message says :
    There are purchased items on the iPad "Joce's iPad" that have not been transferred to your iTunes library. You should transfer these items to your iTunes library before updating this iPad. Are you sure you want to continue?
    Since I don't want her stuff on my pc, is there a way to update and not loose anything on the iPad?
    Thank you

  • Is there a way to update all snapshots in a tree?

    Hi all,
    I'm running Server 2012 R2 and have a VM with about a dozen snapshots under the main "clean" snapshot.  The problem I'm running into is that when I do a monthly check of updates, I have to update each individual snapshot with the new updates. 
    With a dozen snapshots its annoying more than a real problem, but I'm about to add several more VMs each with the same amount of snapshots and once I do it would go from annoying to intolerable, it would be just to time consuming.
    Is there a way to update the base image and have changes to the base image populate down to all the snapshots in the tree below it? 
    Thanks!!

    Thanks a lot, but no that's not what I was looking for.  Here's the scenario - I have a base image lets say it's called CP1 and from that base image I make changes and create a new checkpoint, call that CP2.  From CP2 I make some other
    changes and make another checkpoint call that CP3, etc. creating a checkpoint tree.
    The problem I run into is that when Microsoft rolls out updates our IT dept bundles them all up and forces all domain joined systems to update with them monthly.  As you can imagine this causes some issues with the user community who is using them. 
    Since each checkpoint is discreet as  mentioned in the article you referenced, I have to manually update each checkpoint with the updates, major pain to say the least.  I was hoping there was a process that would allow me to update the base
    image (CP1) and then be able to have those changes made to CP1 be forced onto CP2, CP3, etc.
    Vielen Dank! :)

  • My husband bought an iPad 2.  I have a Mac.  ITunes is in my name but I have turned sharing on.  When we updated to OS5 we lost all the free apps that he downloaded in his user name.  Is there no way to update using my iTunes without losing his software.

    Apps are only tied to one account... You can set up two iTunes accounts on your computer, however, and let his iPad sync to his account. If he has never backed up his apps to a computer, however, he will have to redownload all the apps. Afterwards, he can backup to iCloud instead of your computer.

    Need to know your Mac model. If it's a PowerPC, the max OS is Leopard 10.5.x. If it's an Intel procesor, you can upgrade to Snow Leopard (for $29) & later to Lion.

    Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store *but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753)*.

  • Is there a way to update the itunes match to reflect changes that i have made on my computer

    Every time i update itunes match it looses my alterations to my playlists and undoes any alterations to any albums i have made. Is there a way to update the itunes match to reflect changes that i have made on my computer?(Only copies new playlists and reverts old playlists to the way they were the first time I uploaded them) Any star ratings for albums are lost too if I put a star rating on them AFTER I first upload them to ITunes match.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated and Merry Christmas you guys!
    Mark O'Flaherty

    HI
    You don't need to select update iTunes match. It does not do what you expect!! You only need to make the changes and they will filter through to match naturally.

  • Is there no way to update the "Default Lables" on all slides once I've changed it under the Preferences?

    Is there no way to update the "Default Lables" on all slides once I've changed it under the Preferences?
    I really don't want to recreate the slides from scratch again.

    What about File, Export, Text Captions...? You'll have a Word document with two columns. Translate the second column (much easier in Word) and import again. That is the normal work flow for translation. Same is possible with XML instead of Word.
