So ios 6 will not be on ipad 1.

On the basis the ios 6 will not be on the first generation ipad, does this mean that apple will not issue any updates or support for the product again. Just want to know if ipad 1 is now obselete or what?

Yes. I am "STUCK" with 2, 1st-gen iPads (16gb and a 64gb).
Everyone uses their iPad for different purposes, and for basic use it is great.
For a 56-year-old who uses it for email and surfing the web, its perfect! Much faster than booting up a laptop.
For more advanced users who want more intensive apps, the first-gen iPad has been left in the dust. I was upset when Photoshop Touch was released and supported only iPad2+. More and more apps are following this lead, so YES, the iPad is "stuck".
The point IS that iOS6 is available as a scaled down version for the iPhone3GS. The iPad 1 system specs are essentially the same as an iPhone 4. The lifespan of OS updates is being artificially shortened for the 1st gen iPad.

If you have all your music on the cmputer then i would connect up my phone uncheck the Sync Music option and apply.
This should take all the music off your phone .Then you can resync the music back on to it.
If this doesn't work maybe a restore to factory settings and start from scratch is the way to go

I heard the iOS 6 will not be available on the iPad 1 , will I be able to keep Google maps?

I heard ios 6 will not be available on iPad 1 ,will I be able to keep Google maps ?

Short answer: Yes.
Long answer: The Maps application on iOS5 is, as I understand it, a custom front end for Google Maps that was created by Apple. It should continue to function indefinitely, so long as something does not change on the Google side that would prevent it from accessing their servers. Although I qualified the answer, it doesn't seem likely that Google would do such a thing.

App will not download to iPad when purchased from App Store - stuck with Cloud icon

Device : iPad Air 32gb wi-fi model (not cellular data)
OS version : 7.1.1 (up to date)
Location : UK
Problem : App will not download to iPad when purchased from App Store - stuck with Cloud icon
Last night I tried to download an app over wi-fi onto my iPad Air, but the app did not install.
I have plenty of space (the app is 24.1mb, I have 3.4gb free space) and there are no restrictions whatsoever on my iPad - no blocks on App store purchases, no age-related restrictions, no country restrictions etc.
Normally from the App Store page you would tap the price (in this case the app was free), enter your iTunes password, and the app would download.
Also a new icon appears on the home screen and a circle shows the progress of the download.
However this did not happen.
Instead I have the Cloud icon (the one that shows when you have bought an app but it is not currently installed on your device) and a message that says "You've already purchased this, so it will be downloaded now at no additional cost".
If I press OK I am then prompted to enter my iTunes password, the Cloud symbol briefly changes to a circle (and I mean for a split-second, like the blink of an eye) and then the Cloud symbol appears again.
The app does not download - in fact it does not even *attempt* to download.
I have tried this >20 times now and it always occurs excatly like this.
After Googling this problem (which seems common) and reading over a dozen threads on this forum plus Apple's own official support pages, this is what I've tried:
I can re-download other apps that I have previously purchased on this iPad, with no problems.
I purchased another app on my iPhone 5 and was then able to download onto my iPad with no problems.
I have reset my iPad >5 times - both by pressing/holding the home/power buttons, and also a full switch off and restart.
I have logged out of my iTunes account on the iPad, and logged back in.
The wi-fi is Virgin Media fibre optic broadband with a verified speed of 20 meg (confirmed by Speedtest) plus an 802.11-n Belkin router and my iPad will happily load web pages, stream videos on YouTube, download other apps etc.
I have reset/rebooted my internet connection
In an attempt to eliminate by broadband connection from the possible causes, I have switched off my router, linked my iPad to the hotspot feature on my iPhone and tried to download the app over cellular data, but still cannot download the app.
I have tried on 2 other wi-fi networks but still cannot download this one app.
My iTunes account has a cerdit balance from an iTunes card, but the app was free anyway
Nothing I try will download the app in question.
The app is iPad only, so I cannot install on my iPhone to try and kick-start the process.
I guess I could install the app on my computer and then sync the iPad, but that's *working around* the problem - it's not *fixing* the problem.
(Since getting the iPad I use almost never use my computer. And anyway what if I did not have a computer? Didn't iOS go "PC-free" with version 5?)
I would like to call Apple but my 90-day telephone support has expired (the iPad is around 6 months old) and I don't want to buy Apple Care for this one problem.
I can't make it to an Apple Store to speak to a Genius.
Bearing in mind the list of things I've already tried, what do I do next?
Thanks in advance for any support.

Hi there.
Thank you very much for your quick reply, it's really appreciated.
No need to apologize, I actually found the phrase "If your iPad ever craps the bed" amusing under the circumstances
I checked the list of installed apps like you suggested (Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Show all apps) but this problem app is not in the list. I have also swiped down on the home screen to search for it, but again it does not show.
While it has not let me download the app (and I just tried it again) it has helped me to eliminate a few things from the list of what to try, and I can definitely conclude that it has not downloaded.
I guess I need to fire up my PC and download it / sync my iPad.
Thanks again for your help

ITunes on my MacBook Pro will not detect my iPad

I have a MacBook Pro and the latest version of iTunes - it detects my iPhone 5 but will not detect my iPad (2). I want to back up my iPad on iTunes because my iCloud is full, and I am thinking about getting a new iPad. Any suggestions??

We have no idea which version of OS X you are running, so here are two support articles about your issue.
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X - Support - Apple
Mac OS X v10.6: iOS device not recognized in iTunes after restart
Sometimes it's as easy as quitting iTunes, restarting the Mac, restarting the iPad. Give that a try if you haven't done so already.

My iphone 4 with IOS 5 will not mount in iTunes. Please help.

my iphone 4 with IOS 5 will not mount in iTunes. I think it's due to icloud but i turned icloud off on my phone. Now music in my itunes that i have ripped from CDs cannot be put onto my phone. My iPhone will charge when lugged into my mac book pro but will not mount in iTunes. Also I have Snow leopard on my laptop. Can anyone help.

I have precisely the same problem. The Mac mini will not see the iPhone in iTunes, Disk Utility or Image Capture. My MacBook Air, with a different iTunes library cannot see it either but they can both see my iPad & iPods.
I have tried restarting the computer with only the iPhone connected via USB. No help. I do not see the point in re-loading iTunes if my other machine cannot see it but can see other iOS devices.
All software is up to date on machines & iOS devices.

Audio from Captivate 6 project will not play on iPad

Developing simple iPad test in Captivate 6 but audio will not play on iPad, works fine in browser. Error message from Safari log /ar/St Ad0.mp3 error code = 4 n/w state = 3; another error reads ..assets/js/CPLibrary.js line 15861ar/St Ad0.mp3 gotStuck@0*. Our "test pad" is first generation, uncertain of iOS version. The slides with basic interaction works fine, graphics look good but no audio.

Hi,
Thanks for the post.
Could you please share the following information:
1. Which server are you using to publish the content on Ipad?
2. Which IOS Version?
Please share the sample project or the published output with the mp3 file, so that we can investigate further. (Upload the files acrobat.com and send the link to [email protected])
Thanks,

App Store will not load on iPad air 2

my App Store will not load on iPad air 2. It's just a blank white screen

Hello, Pofolksx4.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I would need clarification on what the exact issue you are experiencing with the App Store to provide a better answer. However, here are some troubleshooting steps that will help.
Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time.
Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update(iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.

Downloaded a book from itunes, works on iphone6, but will not open on ipad air. "not formatted correctly ". Any ideas ?

Hello colinOxford0917,
I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with iBooks on your devices. If you continue to have issues opening the book in question on your iPad Air due to a format error, you may want to try deleting the copy on your iPad, then redownloading it directly to your iPad from the iBook Store. You may find the information and steps outlined in the following articles helpful:

New Apple Tv will not connect with iPad Air 2

My new Apple TV will not recognize my iPad Air or Air 2, but will recognize all other devices in the house (iPhone 5c, 5s, 6, iPad mini, MacBook, etc). What am I missing that the new Airs will not connect? All software is up to date. they are on same network.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
Restart your mobile device.

Safari will not open on iPad 2

Safari will not open on iPad 2. I've rebooted the cable modem.
Other iPad 2 and iPhones work properly.

Do you mean that it will not launch a web page? It sounds like that is what you mean since you reference the other iPad and iPhones as working properly.
Can you get email on this iPad? Can you use any other apps that need Internet connectivity?

ITunes 11.1 and / or the Podcast app on iOS 7 will not allow me to create play lists in iTunes. Is there an app that will allow me to create podcast plays lists and play them on the iPhone running iOS7 ?

iOS 7 will not alow podcasts lists in the music app so we have to use the podcast app
but iTunes 11.1 and / or the Podcast app on iOS 7 will not show podcast play lists created in iTunes (well maybe it does but clicking on the podcasts app causes iTunes to freeze so can not select)
sometime some folders created in iTunes have appeared with the Podcast app but others not.
creating an on the go list in my iphone is agony - I have over 100 podcasts I have subscribed to and when creating a list you can not view by most recently downloadded podcast
AND you can't search (no search bar) so I have to scroll through to find a podcast that might have been updated - but they are not in any logocal order that I can work out (not alphbetical or date added).
Video podcasts are mixed with audio
podcasts I delete (unsubscribe to) keep coming back
its a disaster
my question is there an alternative iPhone app that works with iTunes
no I don't want an app where I have to download to the phone directly, thats 100 subscriptions I will have to make agaian

Agree about the disaster part. I haven't found a fix within iTunes.
I gave up and switched to downcast 2 days ago. Even though it was a hassle to re-subscribe to all my podcasts, im so much happier.
To make switching easier, I found that in iTunes you can "get info" on the podcast and copy the RSS address to the clipboard. Put all of these in a message note. When iCloud syncs the note to your phone, you can copy and paste the urls into downcast one at a time to subscribe.
Downcast has crashed on me occassionally when I'm subscribing to feeds, but so far it has recovered gracefully each time and no data was lost.

TS1538 Itunes will not recognize my ipad 1 anymore. Did everything it told me to check and still will not recognize it.

my itunes will not recognize my ipad anymore. Did everything it told me too. What can I do now.

Have you tried here > http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
If so...
Try a Restart of your Computer and this Reset for the iPad...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons..

So ios 6 will not be on ipad 1.
