Is there a way to upgrade IPad 1 to iOS 6?

My iPad 1 running on iOS 5.1.1. My applications are frequently crashing. Is there a way to upgrade IPad 1 to iOS 6?

None of us are going to argue with you, but hardware changes, and more rapidly these days. The original iPhone doesn't run very much at all, and of course it can't even run 3G. But some people are happy with it. Non-Intel Macs can't run the latest OSX.
Apple needs to be competitive by making the fastest and most modern tablet it can, and that means within 3 or so years what I have now could be antiquated. That also means Apple has to make a decision about whether to try to force the operating system to continue to be backwards compatible which may have speed issues, for example, for those who have current hardware.
iOS 5.1.1 is very advanced. It's only really missing a few things from iOS 6.1, some of which a LOT of people don't like. Maps is one. The loss of Google Maps is another.
There is nothing you can do. Most Apps don't let you update if it is incompatible with your current iOS, so you should be all right.

    Is there a way to upgrade my old iPad which has iOS 5.1.1 to the new iOS 8?

  • My ipod touch is currently running ios 4.2.1 I would like to run ios 5 or 6. When I try to update it on itunes, it tells me my software is up to date. Is there another way to upgrade the IOS?

    My ipod touch is currently running ios 4.2.1 I would like to run ios 5 or 6. When I try to update it on itunes, it tells me my software is up to date. Is there another way to upgrade the IOS?  Do I have to go to Settings>General>reset>Erase all content and settings before I can get the newer ios?  If this is the case, how can I ensure all my content is backed up prior to erasing it all. Is there anyway to check to ensure the backup is complete and comprehensive?  THanks!

    A second generation iPod touch can't be updated past 4.2.1.

    That would depend on whether your model actually has a hard drive. If you have the new 2013 Retina model, then you have a fixed storage device built-in that cannot be modified after purchase.

  • I have a 2007 13" Macbook White. Is there any way to upgrade my OS from 10.6.8 to anything above 10.7?

    I have a 2007 13" Macbook White. Is there any way to upgrade my OS from 10.6.8 to anything above 10.7? I keep getting an error message when I try to download 10.8.3 because Apple didn't make it compatible with my machine, but I really only need 10.7. So is there ANY possible way to do this with my current Macbook? Thanks for the help guys.

    According to these system requirements, no, there is no way to go higher than Lion (10.7), as Mountain Lion (10.8) will not be compatible.
    http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
    Also note that both Lion and Mountain Lion are memory hogs and the realistic minimum RAM should be 4 GB; you can run it with 2 GB, but depending on how you use your machine, you may not be happy with its performance.

  • Is there any way to upgrade iphone5 to 5s in india

    is there any way to upgrade iphone5 to iphone5s in india

    Unless the machine was originally offered with an upgradeable option, no, the parts would have to be replaced with the same spec parts. You do realize that a logic board replacement can be as much as $600 or more?

    Is there any way on an iPad Air to see your dictation as you speak

    You can use the built in Siri voice functions in many text apps, (Notability is good) to have it type as you speak, also Dragon Dictation is available in app store and uses its own method rather than Siri.

  • HT4972 Is there way to upgrade to the iOS 5 rather iOS 6.0.1 currently shown as the only choice?

    Is there way to upgrade to the iOS version of your choice?  I only see iOS 6.0.1 as the only choice, but several people wrote about their issues with upgrading to iOS 6.  Can I just upgrade from iOS 4 to iOS 5?  How can I access to iOS 5?

    I think you can upgrade to iOS5. But you would need to go through a bit more trouble for it.
    You would have to get the iOS 5 installer from the web (maybe Apple's archives) and then install using that.

  • Is there a way to upgrade to iOS 5.0?

    I'm still running 4.0.1. I'm pretty much technology illiterate so I normally don't update my OS. Tried to upgrade to 5.0.1 yesterday but it wouldn't get through, and after seeing so many complaints, I thought I would wait for a while.
    But is there a way to upgrade to 5.0? Seems I can't obviously do it through iTunes.
    Thanks!

    It seems that you may not have the latest version of iTunes.

    If you're using a PowerPC Mac, no.
    If you're using an Intel Mac, phone the online Apple Store and order a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD.

  • I am currently running 10.7.5 on my macbook. I tried downloading Mountain Lion application...but it says 'error'',,,is there another way to upgrade my OS?

    I am currently running 10.7.5 on my macbook. I tried downloading Mountain Lion application...but it says 'error'',,,is there another way to upgrade my OS?

    First we need to know which one of the 9 different models of MacBook you have. To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info (and then System Report if you’re running 10.7 Lion). When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier and post it back here.
    The Early 2006 model 1,1 Core Duo can only run a maximum of 10.6 Snow Leopard.
    The models Late 2006 Core 2 Duos 2,1 through Early 2008 4,1 can only run a maximum of 10.7 Lion.
    The Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody through the Mid 2010 White Unibody model 7,1 can run 10.8 Mountain Lion.

  • Is there any way to upgrade to a newer version of os x snow leopard if my computer isn't compatible with mavericks?

    Is there any way to upgrade my software version? I've tried downloading java or upgrading it and it won't let me because my software isn't compatible. I was ready to install Mavericks when all of the sudden my computer isn't compatible with OS X Mavericks. Does anybody have any solutions besides buy a new computer?

    If your computer isn’t compatible, you might be able to upgrade to Lion.      
    Computer Compatibility - Lion                       Lion
    Check to make sure your applications are compatible. PowerPC applications are no longer supported.      
    Application Compatibility
    You can also check which applications are PowerPC by going to the  menu, select About this Mac, click on More info…, then click System Report and select Software/Applications.
    If you have applications that you want to use that aren’t compatible, you can retain Snow Leopard and create a new partition to install Lion on or you can run Snow Leopard  server in a virtual mode.

  • Is there any way for my ipad to piggyback the internet from my iphone when i am not in a wifi area... The guy at the ATT

    Is there any way for my ipad to piggyback the internet from my iphone without having to purchase a "plan" from ATT&T....The guy at the store said that I had to purchase a new plan with "so much" GB per month and loose my unlimited amount that I am grandfathered into with my current plan... any thoughts?

    Unfortuneatly, you would have to give up your unlimited plan. In the US you would have to get the 2GB plan for $25 and add the teathering plan for $20 more.  The teathering plan would give you another 2GB of data for a total 4GB.
