No gestures for iPad 1 in iOS 5? Apple, are you kidding us?!

This is not fair.

I upgraded my personal original iPad to 5.0 trusting this functionality would continue to work(1). This is really disappointing since there is no reason why it would not work in the original iPad, it worked perfectly fine in 4.3.X when being a developer.
I worship apple products but it is really unpleasant when there are features that are being removed especially when it is my favourite feature.
Since my Home button is damaged, my iPad becames pretty much unusable now.
Please, reconsider this decision, it is a very bad marketing decision!

Multitasking Gestures for iPad
iOS 5 includes a few new moves and shortcuts to help you get around even quicker on your iPad: Using four or five fingers, swipe up to reveal the multitasking bar, pinch to return to the Home screen, and swipe left or right to switch between apps."

Gestures for iPad 1. Very poor Apple.

Apple anticipated this outrage about tossing the original supporters od the IPad under the bus. So what is the response Apple? Why? Without the first buyers of the iPad, the second gen never exists. You know this. We are not telling you anything you. Do not know. Give us gestures or some explanation. I am syre we will actually hear you words regarding the explanation ... And not just hear $$$$$$$$$$$$$ from you (ios5 has sarcasm font right?).
Thanks for alienating me.

Sounds like you were addressing Apple to me. However, if you really want to know what I think of your opinion...I think you're overreacting.

I have GarageBand for iPad 2 and noticed that there are far fewer loops for iPad than for apple laptops. Is there a library available of apple loops? I haven't been able to find any if there are. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Update: An Apple rep called me today to update the status of my return. I was told that the replacements for the BLACK iPad 2's was still another 3 weeks out (at least) so they offered me a brand new WHITE 16GB iPad 2. I could have that or continue waiting. I opted to go ahead and accept the offer of a new white one. Worst case scenario if I don't like the white one I have buddy that just bought a 16GB black one that he would be willing to swap it.

No. There are magnets in the iPad as well. Try the right side of the screen, around the midle point.

Is it possible to change the tempo mid-song in GarageBand for iPad? And if so, how do you do it?, Is it possible to change the tempo mid-song in GarageBand for iPad? And if so, how do you do it?

The tempo setting applies to the whole song, but only to the recorded midi instruments or loops. It's a bit of a kludge, but you could record different sections at different tempos, export each as an AIFF file, then glue them together in a new project.
The same goes for the key.

Verizon process for iphones for existing customers......are you kidding me?????????

Are you kidding me Verizon???
I did everything you told me in order to get my iphone right away. I got up at 3 am on the 6th and your website was down more than it was up...by the time I was able to place my order you tell me you are no longer accepting pre-orders. Try again on the 9th.
I stop in a store and they tell me they won't get any in the stores, I have to order on line or I will not be able to get my phone.
I get up on the 9th @ 3 am and place my order and they tell me I won't get the phone until the 18th. I am in bed watching the news and they show a lady walking out of a store front with a new iphone. Are you kidding me??? Was she an existing customer or not. Who knows or cares. I don't get mine until after the 18th.
So I go to a store front this morning and they have them in stock so I get my phone? No because Verizon shipped the phone to me at 5 am this morning and they can't cancel the order. They shipped it next day air with UPS but they didn't note for Saturday delivery so I won't get it until Monday....but there is another twist...the weather is bad and may delay the shipment...UPS can't tell me one way or the other so I may or may not get my phone on Monday and I have to stay home all day because they asked for a signature upon delivery.
Are you kidding me??? How is this customer service. Verizon you asked for an email so you could anticipate how many iphones to order. If you didn't get enough to service existing customers in a timely manner why didn't you tell us? If you have the phones in the stores why didn't you send me an email saying that I could pick up my phone in the store and save you the cost of an expedited delivery from UPS?
So here I sit without an iphone. I've been a Verizon customer since they began. I didn't switch to ATT when the iphone first came out. I waited until they announced that they were coming to Verizon. I did everything you asked me to and I still don't have my phone and am being put out to take off work on Monday or not get my phone until ???????????
If I ran my business this way I wouldn't have a business!
**bleep** in Columbus! Are you kidding me????

Same thing happened to me. Very frustrating. My son and I were told four different things by four different reps and also from in store reps. We missed the pre-order, but my son went on-line at 3 AM on the 9th and ordered it. Our I-phone was supposed to ship on the 18th so we cancelled the order and picked one up at the store yesterday 10 minutes after a rep told me I could cancel as long as it wasn't shipped out yet. Earlier another rep had told my son earlier we could bring the order number into the store and pick it up while another told him no you can't do that. After picking up the phone in store, I go online to cancel and can't find it anywhere. I call and that rep tells me its just waiting for a tracking number to ship. So within a half hour I have a second I-phone coming. I called this morning and the order is now canceled, but I still have to deal with returning the other. Had they told me it would ship today, I would have waited because my son didn't need it that bad, but what a frustrating experience. Shame on you Verizon.

Why not Multi-Touch Gestures for iPad 1 Apple?

Why?????

I'm curious, what's buggy about the gestures? I've had an iPad 1 running multitouch gestures for months, and haven't noticed any issues. Granted, the gesture I use most of the time is the four-finger swipe-up to reveal recent apps, but I often swipe between Safari and iThoughts when doing research. *Love* the feature, and I'm staying at iOS 4 for the time being until I see what Apple's next move is on this. Other iOS 5 features aren't compelling enough to lose gestures, in my view.
One thing I've learned about updates: always let someone else be the first to adopt them, then check forums a day or two later to find out where the pitfalls lie. I would've been pretty peeved if I'd have read the copy on Apple's website that called out the gestures as an iPad feature rather than exclusive to iPad 2, then installed and lost gestures. People are justifiably ticked off about that, I think (and yes, I've sent feedback to Apple to share that opinion --- it can't hurt to try.)

Where are Multitasking Gestures for iPad 1

I have been using Multitasking Gestures on an iPad 1 for some time now.
It was enbled through Xcode, however I can't see how to turn it back on following the iOS5 update.
Can anyone help?

Apple should think carefully about how they treat iPad1 users.
iPad1 users are the tech savvy people who moved first and recommended to their friends that they come on board when iPad2 was released.
However, experiences like this might inspire us to find alternatives to the next logical step (iPad3), given that Apple are unnecessarily limiting the features of older devices. If Apple want to inspire us to find alternatives to iPad3 and help our friends make the switch too, then just keep following this older style of business model!

Ios 6 not compatible for ipad 1?, ios 6 not compatible for ipad 1?

?

I'm also slightly annoyed about this. The biggest reason is likely to be relative performance of the iPad, and the installed base. There will be many more 3GS phones out there still in use than iPad first gen.
There were three major features announced for iOS 6 that are performance related.
Maps and navigation
Siri
Safari's javascript engine and the tab viewer.
All of these will place higher loads on the machine, and may in some respect be reliant on certain cellular or wifi chip capabilities, as well as raw CPU and graphics peformance.
I'm still surprised that the 3GS might be considered more capable than the iPad first gen, but I think that then comes down to the size of the installed base. Many iPad 1 users have already swapped out
My preference would be to see support for the iPad 1, but with certain features disabled if they can't get the performance they need. 3D maps are going to be nice, but not exactly critical. However, its not clear whether they will bring the new iOS 6 map tiles (from Apple) to iOS 5 - its potentially doable without any software change, as its server side. Although they use Google maps, I'm not sure that they rely on Google servers to provide the images.
Also, we are still some way off the release date, and its possible that they will do more optimising of iOS 6 that will allow the iPad first gen to get an update including most of the features. They may just be holidng back at the moment based on what they know is good.
I was considering a MB Air purchase soon, but I'm now in the position of thinking that I will defer that if I have a more compelling reason to purchase an iPad update. That won't happen until Jan 2013 at the earliest, when we can expect an iPad 4th gen upgrade anyway.

Apple, why did you delete multi touch gestures for iPad in iOS5?

I have to say that this is a bit of a kick in the teeth. We spend all this money on Apple products, expecting software updates to add the he functionality of these devises - not to have really cool functions taken away... Why would you take this away? If it is a performance issue at least give people the option to turn it on or off.
Bring it back please in 5.0.1... Oh and fix all the bugs that had me deleting apple apps like 'find my phone' and reinstalling them from the app store...

Apple never included multitouch gestures in a consumer release of iOS before 5. You had to use developer tools to get them. So, from their standpoint, they never gave it to you in the first place. But, at any rate, you're not addressing Apple here. Submit your feedback directly to Apple using the appropriate link on the Feedback page:

Has a fix being release by apple for IPad 1 poor IOS 5 performance?

If a fix has been release or anyone knows how to resolve this issue please reply this post?
TQ.

iOS 5.1.1 is the last version that will run on an iPad, so no, there have been no further releases. Most people are having no problems, though, so it's likely that no fix from Apple is required. Perhaps if you'll post details about your problems, someone can offer suggestions for addressing them.
Regards.

Manual for iPad (2) with iOS 5?

Looks like the right version shows up in iBooks, but the one on Apple's website "iPad User Guide (For iOS 5.0 Software)" isn't really the one for iOS 5. Anyone find the real one online?
http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipad
PS: Apple, might want to fix that file/link.

You probably have disallowed changes to accounts. Go to Settings > General > Restrictions, under Allow Changes, go to Accounts and select Allow Changes.

Siri for iPad 2 in iOS 6

Why can't apple get Siri to iPad 2 ,seriously come on it has a A5chip and it is quiet powerful if an iPhone 4s can have it ,which still has a A5 chip?and in ios 6 they give the new iPad Siri and not iPad 2. I'm seriously I'm so disappointed with apple.i hope in future it comes or why not just in ios 6.0.

How does that even fly for a logical reason or explanation for this stupidity? You are absolutely right that a car built to have 260 horsepower will have no more than 260 horsepower. If the newer model is given 300 horse then by golly it will have 300 horsepower. You can choose to upgrade your engine in some way to get 300 horsepower at your expense. The same cannot be said about apple and their iproducts which can never be upgraded. Which is why I am completely confused about your comparison. The auto industry is a far stretch from a technology related company. Software upgrades are what people count on when they purchase a technology based product to keep their device going. A basic concept in computing. In other words, Apple's to oranges mon ami! When you purchase a product from a company that claims they are revolutionary, you read and you know that the products are capable in comparison to other products made by the same company and yet they consciously make garbage decisions like not allowing Siri on a device that is more than capable (iPad 2), then something is wrong with the relationship. A paying customer deserves and is surely entitled to a proper explanation from the manufacturer. That's what a consumer driven company is required to do. After all they are nothing without their isheep. They are responsible to their consumers just as they are to their shareholders and board members. It's simply a matter of principle.

Restored my iCloud backup for ipad mini and ios automatically updated...

...is there anything that can't be done? One good thing about having to replace my ipad months ago was not having to update to ios 7. I really hurts my eyes, it messes with my app data, and the design of ios 6 is just way better.

This is a nightmare. Icloud should not automatically update. Now a bunch of my apps aren't working. This is horrible.
