Original IPad iOS update

Does anyone know if/when they are planning an iOS update beyond 5.1.1 for original iPad. I have both iPad and iPad air, would like to continue to use both, but AppStore is severely limited for under 6.0

Hi,
Put simply, the original iPad (and all non-updated iOS devices) probably don't have the power to use the new operating system (e.g. iOS 7). They probably won't be planning it, as it has been over a year, but I hate to say the rules state you cannot speculate on Apple policies or decisions.
Hope this helps!

How do you update your original iPad ios

Hi, I have the original iPad. For the life of me , i I can't update the iOS. I was told i can download the update. But I am unable to do it. Please help.

What version is on there now? If you have iOS 5.1.1, that's the last version an iPad 1 can run. If you have iOS 4.x or earlier, see the section titled "Update your device using iTunes" in this support article:

HT5262 IPad IOS Updates?

I have an IPad and IPhone 4S. My IPad has IOS5.1.1 on it. My Iphone has IOS6.1 on it. I can't figure out how to upgrade my IOS for my IPAD even though my IPAD says that I have the latest IOS on it. Some of my apps on the IPad won't update because my IOS hasn't been upgraded. Anyone know what I might be doing wrong?

Is sound like you have a first generation iPad, in which case it is up to date. The original iPad doesn't support iOS 6.

HT4623 Why won't the original iPad's update to the newer software? Applications like iBook & CTVGo will not upgrade without the iPad upgrading.

Have the original iPad that won't update past 5.1.1. Applications are requiring newer update versions. Why won't my iPad update past this version?

IT's because of the system specifcations are probarly not able to handle the new requirements for the iOS 6+ if you want/need those applications you'll have to purchase a new iPad

IPad iOS update problem

When I try to update my iPad iOS to v4.2 I get a message saying,
"iTunes could not back up the iPad because the backup could not be saved on the computer"

What has worked for some others has been to delete the existing backup file. You can delete it from iTunes>Preferences>Device Tab. However, as insurance, I would make a copy of the file before deleting it. You can find the location of the backup file here:

Ipad ios update is hanging

I am updating an ipad mini to ios8.1.3 via wifi. The install is locked at about 90%. What can I do at this point?

You can try to restart the iPad and see if that helps it continue or start over. If not, hook it up to a computer with iTunes to update.

HT4623 lost data iPad ios update

Bonjour,
J'ai mis à jour l'IOS de mon IPAD de 3 à 5 et j'ai perdu toutes les données.
J'avais une sauvegarde, mais mon ipad ne la reconnait plus.
Merci de vos conseils.

If you no longer have that backup, then you can't restore from it.
Launch iTunes and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices. if you see a recent backup in that window you can restore from it. If you have a backup, clock on Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically. Click OK.
Connect your iPad to your computer and it should appear in the left sidebar. If you don't see the sidebar go to View>Show Sidebar from the menu at the top. Right click on the iPad name under Device and select - Restore from Backup.

I have the original iPad with v3.2.1 and have never upgraded. How can I upgrade to the latest iOSfor the original iPad?

Update it from iTunes on a computer as described at the bottom of this article; devices running an iOS version prior to 5.0 can't be updated straight from the device. It will be updated to the latest compatible version.

How can I transfer my iOS update to another iPad?

How can I transfer my iPad iOS update download to my wife's computer so that she can update without having to download the update all over again?

Ok, on your computer, navigate to ~/Library/iTunes/iPhone Software Updates
(Note this is usually a hidden location, so choose the Go menu in the Finder, hold down Alt and you'll see Library appear. Select this).
In the iTunes/iPhone Software Updates folder you'll find the iOS update download (.ipsw file). Copy this to your wife's computer. Connect her iPad, open iTunes,
In the Info pane for her iPad, hold Shift and click on Update and then browse to and select the .ipsw file you copied over. iTunes will then use this locally stored file instead of re-downloading it again.

Original iPad cannot update beyond iOS 5.1.1. If you don't have it yet, connect to iTunes to update; you need iTunes 10.5 or later.
