The original iPad does not support any iOS version higher than 5.1.1.
If your original iPad had a higher version, it must have been tampered with in an unsupported way.

I just got a replacement for my broken iPad mini from asurion, and I backed it up. But the problem is, my broken iPad mini has iOS 7 and all my data is in iOS 7 form, and I want to transfer it to the new iPad mini. How would I do it?

I've just received the replacement today, and I restored it from a backup I made back in July when my old iPad didn't have iOS 7. And I've updated the new iPad to iOS 7, but I don't know how to transfer the data I have on my old iPad mini in iOS 7 format into the new already backed up iPad mini. Can someone help me?

I can see home sharing on my iPhone and iPad both running iOS 5 but when it loads the library is empty. Help!!

The iPad is new today so pleeeease help! I have the latest version of iTunes and both iPhone and iPad are up to date. I have never had a problem with home sharing before 10.5 iTunes. Both mobile devices can eventually see the shared library but load it as though it is empty. This applies to movies as well. I have turned off home sharing on the mac and restarted it. I have also made sure that the username and password on both mobile devices are correct. Help!
Mac mini ppc running 10.5.8
iPhone 4 running iOS 5.0
iPad 2 running iOS 5.0

This has solved loads of people who have this issue and have used an alternate DNS setting. Below are instructions for both iPhone OTA and on you Mac
If you are getting the error message "Unable to check for update" when you try an OTA (over the air update)
Change DNS Servers
Settings -> Wi-Fi
Click the blue arrow on your connected network
Delete everything in DNS and replace it with 208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220
Try again
If this works, you will probably want to remove the WiFi network using "Forget This Network" and then reconnect to it to get your original DNS servers back. Alternatively, make a note of the original DNS servers before deleting them and replace it after you are done.
If you are getting the error message "Unable to check for update" when you try through iTunes
On your Mac
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, and then click Network.
Select the network connection service you want to use (such as Wi-Fi or Ethernet, unless you named it something else) from the list, and then click Advanced.
Click DNS, and then click Add at the bottom of the DNS Servers list. Enter the IPv4 address for the DNS server.
You can use OpenDNS
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
or
You can Google Public DNS if you want
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4
I have actually repointed my routers DNS so all my devices now point to OpenDNS servers

I have been given a replacement iPad as mine went faulty. How do I get my photos from icloud on to my new ipas

Hope you can help. Thanks

Restore your replacement iPad to the iCloud backup of your old one. Your replacement iPad will have to be running the same or higher version of iOS as your old one. If not, update it using iTunes. Then go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings (which will erase it), then go through the setup screens on the iPad and when given the option, choose Restore to iCloud Backup. Be sure it is connect to wifi and your charger as this will take some time to finish.

How can I use custom repeating event in my iPad Air calendar iOS 8.0.2

How can I use custom repeating event in my iPad Air calendar iOS 8.0.2?

Unless something has changed, you can't. The iPad has limited ability to make repeats. However if you make the custom repeats in another program you can send them to or import them into your calendar and the iPad will respect the custom repeat.

Check your HOSTS file and make sure you are not blocking gs.apple.com.
Try to launch https://gs.apple.com: It should open the Apple site, and not be redirected to the Cydia server.
if this redirected to cydia server then
copy hosts file from this path
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
paste on desktop. open this in notepad.
add this line in the last .
#74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com
in some case this line is there without " #" sign. if this line is there then u simply put" # " at the start of this line
save this and copy this file and past into this path.
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\
replace with existing . yes.
close and then start the restore process.
now this will work. Insha Allah.

How do I tell what color my replacement iPad will be?

I have a replacement iPad being shipped to me but Apple Care didn't tell me what color it will be. Is there a way I can find out? My original iPad is white so will they just replace it with a white one?

An exchange under warranty is like for like which you can't change.
Since the original iPhone was released 5 years ago, I have not read any reports about Apple not being able to replace an iOS device under warranty like for like. Doesn't mean it hasn't happened, but I haven't seen it reported here or anywhere else that I frequent.

How to update the iPad iOS version? I have an iPad (first generation) iOS 5.1.1. I can't update the software via WiFi nether via iTunes

I have an iPad (probably first generation - Model A1337 ). This tablet has iOS version 5.1.1.
I would like to update for the latest version as possible.
There is no option by iPad wifi.
I also tried by iTunes and in option Checking for UpDate, only let me know the current version, but doesn't open the possiblity to update for a newer.
How can I update the software version ?
tks
Reinaldo

Hi,
The first generation iPad is limited to iOS 5.1.1. This is due to the original iPad not having enough power or memory to get to iOS 6, 7 or any further in the future.
All other iPads and iPad Minis can get to the current version - iOS 7.0.4 and at least until the end versions of iOS 7 or iOS 8.
Hope this helps, and Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!

No sound while watching you tube videos on my ipad. This is my second replacement ipad with same problem.

no sound while watching you tube videos on my ipad. This is my second replacement ipad with same problem. No sounds coming out from the speakers, even after reset everything. Mute button is assigned for mute function instead of screen rotation lock.

Hi herbie13!
It sounds like you will still want to link your iPad and computer, but you want to prevent the iPad from syncing information from your computer to your iPad. I have an article here for you that can help tell you how to set this up:
iOS: Syncing with iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1386
You will want to follow the steps here to set up the iPad for syncing, but when it comes time to sync, you'll just want to make sure that the boxes for syncing the multitude of items that you can sync remain unchecked so that none of that information gets synced into the iPad.
Another note: your second Apple ID will not be able to access the apps, music, movies, tv shows, etc., that you have purchased under your primary Apple ID. Even though it seems that the secondary Apple ID still has access to those items, that is just because you are viewing your second Apple ID through the iTunes Store section on your computer and you have those items saved locally on your computer. You will need to repurchase and download all of the content that you wish to use again on your second Apple ID, if that is what you wish to solely use on this iPad.
Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

I have just had a replacement IPad as the camera stopped working. Now the new iPad won't recognise my aol e mail for face time as well as my apple id. I have tried adding as a second e mail, but it says already in use

I have just had a replacement iPad as the camera stopped working.
Now the new iPad won't receive FaceTime calls at my aol.com email.
If I try to add it as a FaceTime address it just says email address already in use.
I guess it is still linked to the old iPad in some way
Any suggestions? The old I pad is wiped and back in the store

This Apple article should be able to help ya out -> iOS: FaceTime is 'Unable to verify email because it is in use'

Wifi and cellular dropping out on iPad air after iOS 8.02 update

Hi
I have recently updated my iPad air to 8.02 and ended up getting problems with wifi and cellular data being very sporadic at best. Took it to the Genius Bar and they replaced it thinking it was a hardware problem. Turns out it is not as it updated again and it is once again sporadic. I tend to find turning it off helps temporarily but always cuts out and needs to be put into airplane mode to reset the connection. Is anyone else having this problem....this is the 3 rd time I have tried to post this as it has cut out and the connection has been lost each time.
I did speak to a customer service advisor over the phone and she thought it may have been wifi and cellular competing but I have turned mobile data off and it is as bad as ever if not worse.

This is getting ridiculous. How long does it take to properly fix this issue. I have ipad air running IOS 8.02. I keep dropping wifi signal regularly throughout the day. I have tried everything to try and improve my connection but nothing has worked. Other products not running IOS 8.20 have a perfect sustained connection to my wifi so the firmware is definitely the issue. When are apple going to acknowledge and fix this issue that is affecting so many.
Roll on June because I'm done with Apple once and for all after many many years. No more iphone for me. Hopefully then I can receive calls without them going straight to voicemail, recieve texts quicker than an 8 hour delay and get voicemails quicker than 2 weeks later. Complete shambles and very poor customer service. Goodness only knows what those who rely on their phone/ipad for work are doing.

My iPad 2 with iOS 7 touchscreen is no longer responsive, although date/time is current as are off screen buttons. Tapping the screen merely produces a rectangular border around the tapped log in digit. No 'black to white' registers on the upper 4 dots

Excuse brief text to above due to input limitations in original input field. I'd be grateful if anybody can give me any help to recover the situation. Thanks.

IPad mini replacing iPad 2

I used to have a iPad 2 which I got rid of a while back when it got broken. This was a few months ago and at that time I had a MacBook Pro that I was using to sync that iPad. I have since gotten rid of that computer and got another one, which I needed as I needed to be able to run Windows for everything that I have to run. I have a new iPad mini that I just got a few days ago and I restored it when I first turned it on from the iPad 2's backup. The problem that I am having now is when I go to connect the iPad to this computer, I get a message telling me that the iPad is synced with another iTunes library and if I continue with Sync, everything will be removed from the iPad. I wasn't too worried about it as I figured I could just download the apps that I have again and set it up again the way I wanted it. However, even after doing that, the iPad didn't remove anything, and there are files that are on the iPad that are not on my computer, but I cannot get them to sync over to the computer. For instance all the apps are on the iPad and not on the list of apps that are on the computer. When I go to do the update to the iPad, I get a message telling me there are things that haven't synced yet on the computer and I should sync them before doing the update. How can I get this iPad to sync to my iTunes on this computer and get everything matched up the way that it is supposed to be so I won't get any more messages telling me that things need transferred to my library when I have just finished syncing and still get the message?

I believe that Apple will replace the device with the same model as the one that you want to replace if it comes under the out of warranty replacement policy. If you want a mini, that would be on your to purchase it.
My iPad is not eligible for warranty service. What are my service options?
Apple offers two service options for iPads that are not eligible for warranty service.
Battery Replacement ServiceIf your iPad requires service only because the battery's ability to hold an electrical charge has diminished, please refer to the Battery Replacement Service information.
Out-of-Warranty ServiceIf you own an iPad that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will replace your iPad with an iPad that is new or equivalent to new in both performance and reliability for the Out-of-Warranty Service fee listed below.
iPad model
Out-of-Warranty Service Fee
iPad mini
$219
iPad 3rd, 4th generation,
iPad Air
$299
iPad 2, iPad
$249
A $6.95 shipping fee will be added if service is arranged through Apple and requires shipping. All fees are in US dollars and are subject to local tax.
Certain damage is ineligible for out-of-warranty service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications. However, an iPad that has failed due to contact with liquid may be eligible for out-of-warranty service.Apple reserves the right to determine whether or not your iPad is eligible for Out-of-Warranty service. Replacement iPads have a 90-day limited hardware warranty or assume the remainder of your standard warranty or AppleCare service contract coverage, whichever is longer. Please see the AppleCare+ for iPad and Apple Repair Terms And Conditions for further details.
