Should i update iPad 1 from 4.3.1 to 5.1?

Does the iPad 1 run well with iOS 5.1?

The only real reason to do it is if (a) there's something in the new iOS that you really think you either need to have or really really really want to have, or (b) if some app that you absolutely have to have will only run on the newer OS version.
Otherwise, if things are working well with your current load, why upset the Apple cart?

  • Should I update iPad 2 to ios7?

    Wondering whether to update iPad 2 to new iOS 7, or wait. Are there a lot of problems with the new system on the iPad 2? What's the verdict as this point? Many thanks.

    I am using the iPad 2 with iOS 6.1.3. I like this interface and decided to take the advice of shldr2thewheelabove. I am still using the iOS 6.1.3 without a hitch. The only minor annoyance is that about 5 or 6 Apps can't be updated unless you update the system, so the APPS app keeps telling me there are 5 or 6 more updates available than there actually are. I will wait till the support community folks who know what they are doing give me the green light. Otherwise I have no need or desire to risk hassles for a new look I don't even care about.

  • Update iPad from beta 7 to the full release?

    My iPad is saying that it is up to date in iTunes as well as the over the air Software Update section on the iPad itself. How do I get it to download and install the final release version of iOS5?

    You should have already downloaded the GM from the Dev Center, studied the release notes and followed the process - use the resources you paid for as a registered Developer. _If_ you're registered...

  • Updating iPad from iOS 4.3.2 to current OS

    I have a set of ipad 2's for educational purposes. They haven't been updated in ages and are currently running iOS 4.3.2 (capacity says 29 GB with 28.7 available). I'm trying to update iOS, which requires connection to a computer. I'm using the iMac they were originally configured with (which is running Mac OS X 10.5.8 and iTunes 10.6.3, which it says is the latest).
    When I plug in the ipads, they are recognized in iTunes. The screen says "A newer version of iPad software is available (Version 7.0). ..." but when I click the Update button next to that in iTunes, a message pops up that says "This version of iTunes (10.6.3) is the current version." I've restarted the iMac, and iTunes, and the iPad. Same messages.
    When I try to do Restore in iTunes, it processes for a while ("Extracting software") and then says "The iPad could not be restored. This device isn't eligible for the requested build."
    But shouldn't an iPad 2 be able to handle an iOS upgrade? Maybe the issue is too many upgrades have gone by without these iPads being updated.
    For what it's worth, I don't have any apps or data (files, media)  on these iPads that I need. I'm happy to do a full reboot and get the iOS upgraded.
    Any guidance is welcome. Thanks for your help.

    Thanks for your help, which clarifies that a more recent version of iTunes is needed (and thus a more recent of OS on the iMac is needed). Because I have nothing that needs to be saved or backed up from the ipads. I've just connected them to a newer iMac running the latest OS and iTunes. And I'm then prompted to restore/update the ipads, which gives them the latest OS.
    Thanks for helping.

  • HT1338 Which version of Mac OS should I update to from v10.5.8?

    I am trying to install applications that require the 10.6 and above and not sure if I should install that or go to 10.7 or 10.8 so need guidance.  What should I do next??

    Hello,
    First you need to research all the problems people are having with the higher OSX versions, & make sure you have a bootable clone of what you have just in case.
    then you must get 10.6 if they still have it, install it & update to 10.6.8 so you have the App Store to buy & download the huge 10.8 Installer.
    Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
    General requirements
       * Mac computer with an Intel processor
        * 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least, more if you can afford it)
        * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
        * DVD drive for installation
        * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
        * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
    Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...
    http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
    It's been pulled from the online store & Apple Stores, so you have to call Apple to buy it, last I heard.

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.0.1. For the iPad Mini the iOS is 6.0.2. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

  • HT4623 Update Ipad from a version before ios 5

    How to update an iPad 2 from the iOS 4.3.3 to the newest one? Is there a way to do it without a computer?

    The iOS 5 update must be installed from iTunes on a computer, as it introduced the capability to update further on the iPad itself.
