Both the iPad and when synced to the iMac, say i am fully up to date at 5.1.1! Has anyone had / got the same issue? How can I upgrade when it doesn't acknowledge there is no need?

When I try to open a spreadsheet on my Mac that I worked on with my iPhone, I get "You need a newer version of Numbers to open this spreadsheet." When I go to the App store, it says I already have it. I have v. 2.3 and can't seem to download newer version

If you are running Mavericks, and the Mac App store says you are up to date, then you have Numbers 3.2 as well as Numbers 2.3. You are getting the "Need a newer version message because your Mac is trying to open the document using Numbers 2.3.
Launch Numbers 3, then open the document from within that app, or right click/control-click the document and choose Open with Numbers 3.x.

I have a 1st gen ipad. Want to play Candy Crush. Installed app from app store. I hit play now, I see the board then the pad goes back to the start screen (the one with all the apps displayed). Do I need additional apps to run? Thanks.

I have a 1st generation iPad. Want to play Candy Crush Saga. Installed app from Apple Store. When I tap on the app, I wait a long time while it reads "loading" then I hit "play", I see the board then the ipad goes back to the ipad start screen (the one with all the apps displayed). Is there some additional program I need to play this type of game. I know that space is not an issue as I have very little stored. Thanks.
Just found my answer. Worked perfectly. Instructions very clear.

try uninstalling the app and reinstalling it. u shouldnt need to install anything else but the app itself to get it running. if that doesnt work then update ur software and see if that works.

Have a first gen ipad. Can't download version 5.1 because iTunes 11.1 need to be downloaded. Cannot download version of iTunes. " errors occured while installing updates. if the problem persists choose tools download only and try installing manually"

Have a first gen iPad with 4.3 IOS. Can't download version 5.1 because iTunes 11.1 need to be downloaded. Cannot download version of iTunes. " errors occured while installing updates. if the problem persists choose tools>download only and try installing manually". This is as far as I can get. Can't find tools to manually download. When I try to reset to factory settings, I get an error also.

Try updating your iTunes using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer file downloaded from the Apple website:

What happened to the home screen button from 1st gen iPad? Can't close apps.

I received a 1st generation iPad as a regift. It worked fine until I erased and synced it with my iTunes and other devices. Instead of the home button, it had that little circle in the corner to get you back to the home screen (don't know what that's called). Now that I've synced, that circle/button is gone, and the home button doesn't take me home. I am stuck in whatever app or settings screen I open, and can't close it without a full reboot. I'm not sure what ios it was using before I reset amd synced, but now it is using 5.1.1. Is this the problem? Any fixes?

If the unit has NEVER been jailbroke, first try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless... Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

I have the 1st gen iPad and for some reason, the sound currently stopped working. Even if there are no headphones attached, when you adjust the volume it says that headphones ARE attached. The sound also doesn't work even if I DO plug in headphones. Help!

I don't even know what to try so any help is appreciated.

Reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
Note: Data will not be affected.

1st gen iPad

I have the 1st gen iPad which don't have the new iOS 6 software and my kindle app will not open because of the new iOS 6 update. How do I get this app to open because 1st iPad is on version iOS 5 software?

You can try closing all of the apps in the recents tray, clears Safari, reset the iPad and see of that makes a difference.
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data.
Now close all apps. Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button twice.
Then reset the iPad. Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
You can also try restoring the iOS software and see if that helps at all.

1st Gen ipad; digital copies

I have a 1st Gen ipad and i would like to put my digital copies that some of my movies came with; when i tried it kept telling me that my ipad will not play this content. Has anyone else had this problem?

Yes. Very often digital copies available as a package with DVDs are not compatable with Mac OS or iOS.

1st Gen iPad problems with Pages

I have a 1st Gen iPad and have the Pages app, but now that the new Pages app has been issued for iOS7 I can no longer open docs from the cloud in the older app. I saved the docs from my mac as a pages09 file and still can't get them to open. What now?

I spent about 4+ hours with Tech Support on this issue. There is no luck according to their Senior Technician. He spend time rummaging over the internet offering me solutions with 3rd party apps to get 'iCloud" back with pages, but none of them worked with an "Offline" mode. This was a big hinderance on myself as well. I am a Tech Writer and had a lot of documents that I needed to send to my Editor...he uses Pages as well... Once I edited my documents in the New Pages, he couldn't opened them...this is not good. I know newspapers all around are probably feeling this burn right now.
I have found a solution however, but it requires a previous purchase. I bought Pages 09 back on 10.6.3 Snow Leopard long before the Mac App Store was opened to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 What I did what continue using that program, denying the update to Pages in OSX Mavericks. Still though with all the documents I had to open each individual one and resave them as .DOC format then reimport them into iCloud after cleaning out the /Library/Mobile Documents/Pages section.
Now as I am a Tech Writer, I do NOT expect the average user to figure this out or even need to figure this out, this was an unacceptable move by Apple and after looking at the specs, there is NOTHING that would prevent them from making Pages 10 Backwardscompatible for Pages 09 users or add Pages 10 support to iPad. Since they ONLY allow it to run on iOS7 Devices, kind forces you to run out an buy a new iPad2 or higher.... since I am quite confortable with my 1st Generation, I will continue using Pages 09' and if worst comes to worse, I will roll back to Mountain Lion, there was no update feature on that one and never did it bother me about upgrading Pages 09....

1st Gen iPad re-syncs every book/pdf each time it is connected to iTunes

Hey everyone. Perhaps this has been asked/solved before, but I couldn't find a link. I have the 1st gen iPad (ancient) 64gb WiFi/3G with 200+ books, pdfs, documents, etc in iBooks. Each time I connect my iPad to iTunes, it syncs quickly, until step 7; and then proceeds to re-sync every single book, pdf, document within iBooks. It does not sync un-checked documents.
I've tried:
1. Restoring
2. Complete erase and re-install (2x)
3. Magic
4. Complete erase of every document and reuploading them in iTunes
Not quite sure what to do. Syncs take 10+ minutes now, even to add one new document.
How can I fix this?
Thanks!

I would try set it to not sync books at all
sync
disconnect it
reconnect it
set it to sync books again
sync

So I have a 1st gen iPad, I can't get to download ios8 version to my pad
