The audio on my 1st gen iPad is sporadic -- can't trust alarms and sometimesdownkoaded iTunes won't play. What's going on?

My 1st generation IPad's audio is sporadic. Can't trust alarms and sometimes downloaded iTunes will advance but nothing can be heard. And yes, I have checked to be sure the audio Is turned on and the volume up high. Can anyone help me? Please don't tell me it's a hardware issue. . . .

I tried to install it, but now a little window pops up that says "The installer has insufficient privileges to access this directory C:Program Files\Quick Time\QTSystem\Quick Time.Resources.en.lproj. The installation cannot continue. Log on as an administrator or contact your system administrator".
Although those messages do sometimes indicate a folder permissions problem, they can also be caused by disk damage. So let's try running a chkdsk over your C drive first.
See the following Microsoft document for instructions and a "Guided Help":
[How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP|http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315265]
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, reboot the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly now?

How do I get the most out of 1st gen iPad?

I just gave my first gen ipad to a friend. The software apparently can only go up to 5.1.1. Any advice I can give him on how best to enjoy the ipad, given its limitations? Many apps are unavailable to him as they require the latest IOS.

Start by reading the user guide. There should be a link to it in safari, you can download it in iBooks, or see here: http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1595/en_US/ipad_user_guide.pdf

Updated software on 1st gen. ipad now I can'y log onto internet

Updated sofware on my ipad now I can't log onto wifi

Try a reset. Press & hold the Power and Home buttons together for 10+ seconds, ignoring the red power-off slider, until you see the Apple logo.

My Ipad has worked fine for a year and now it won't play music or videos

My Ipad has suddenly stopped playing music and videos??

Swipe your phone to unlock and enter your passcode.
You needed to enter a passcode before using the touch id.
If you touch id isn't working, then erase the old print and re do it.
I use two prints and have no issues using it.

How can I move music from my 1st gen iPad to my new 3rd gen iPad

How can I move all the music on my 1st gen iPad to my new 3rd gen ipad?

Transfer the music into iTunes on your computer and then sync the new iPad with iTunes.
Or download all of the purchased music on the new iPad. You can download the songs again for free in the Purchased Tab of the iTunes App as long as you use the same Apple ID that you used to buy the songs with originally.

I changed the drive letter on my iPod and now iTunes won't recognize it!

Help please! I contacted an Apple associate and they told me to change the drive letter of my iPod in My Computer. I did that and now iTunes won't recognize my iPod at all and I can't change the drive letter back to the original one. What do I do?

Try Resetting Your iPod while it's connected to the computer.
Hold down the Menu and Select buttons until you see the Apple logo (or Menu & Play/Pause in older models).
This will often get it recognized. It may take several attempts.
Try closing and re-starting iTunes. There have been cases where iTunes refuses to see an iPod, but after re-starting, it works again.
Also try re-booting the entire computer. Especially if the PC has been operating for a long time &/or many programs have been opened and closed, repeatedly.
Other USB connected peripherals may be the cause as well. Try removing all connected USB items and attaching the iPod. If you have a USB keyboard, it may be worth a try using the adapter to convert it to non-USB. If the iPod connects, continue plugging things back in until you have the problem return. You may have then isolated the issue. Sometimes it could be a printer, camera, Flash Card reader, or other attached device causing a conflict.

I received a 1st Gen IPad from a supplier as a gift to promote their products. They used their Apple account to load the apps. I am not able to load my own apps because their apple user is the one that pops up. How can I change it to mine?

Set it up as new device, explained in this article, without using the backup afterwards:

HT4623 I have a 1st gen iPad. Upgrade to iOS 6.1.1 appeared, but it quit shortly into it and now I am being told that all software is up to date at 5.1.1! Synced iPad to the iMac and it also says the iPad is up to date. What gives?

I have a 1st gen iPad. Upgrade to IOS 6.1.1 appeared, but it quit shortly into the installing and has not come back up again. 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?

You are most welcome

My 1st gen iPad is not recognized in iTunes, help! I have uninstalled, reinstalled, stoped and started the mobile....nothing is working.

I have done everything I can find online to solve my problem, but I still have the same problem. My 1st gen iPad is not recognized in iTunes! Cannot sync! Please, any suggestions from anyone? Anyone else having the same problem?

Hello casinojen,
I would be concerned as well if my iPad was not recognized by iTunes. Thank you for providing all the information with the steps you took in regards to this issue. I found an article with a few more steps you can take (you can skip the steps you have already taken):
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

My 83 yo dad has a 1st gen iPad. He has so many photos he would like to view on his HD TV; so I purchased Apple TV for him. But I am having a hard time setting this up. I have been able to get his music on Apple TV, but he really wants the photos. Help

My dad has a 1st gen iPad. He is 83 yo. I recently purchased an Apple TV for him because he loves Netflix and I told him that he could view his photos via the television. BUT, I'm not having success with Photostream. Help me.....I've been researching and trying everything I can and so far, no luck. He keeps asking about the photos, and I'm losing patience with myself and Apple TV. Can anyone help???? Thank you.

My sister gave me her 1st gen iPad to see if I could solve an issue. It won't turn on, and when it's plugged into a power cord there is a slow pulsing sort of flash that happens on the screen....any ideas?

Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank power On again in the normal way.] It is absolutely/appsolutely safe! Now see if it charges normally and after a period try to turn it on again. If the batter has been drained it could take 20 minutes or so for it to show that it is charging.
Also considering if the battery need replacing!

Why does my 1st gen iPad always turns itself off and goes back to the screen. Whether I'm reading news, iBooks, etc, suddenly it goes off.

If that doesn't help, the battery may be dying and need replacement. See here (tap on Battery Replacement): http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&geo=United_States&product=ipad
Alternately, might consider start saving for a new iPad. The newest iPad 6 should come out in the next few months. When it does, sellers will want to get rid of old inventory with good deals.

HT5457 New app upgrades put 1st gen Ipad users out in the cold - Recently DirecTV and The Blaze both upgraded their ipad apps so that only ios 6 and above were compatible - anyone who has a 1st gen ipad cannot upgrade to ios 6 - what is up with this Appl

So 1st gen ipad users are basiclly left out in the cold unless they go out an buy a new IPad - of course DTV and The Blaze are blaming Apple and Apple is blaming them - what is the deal Apple - I pay for my subscription to The Blaze in order to have it on my IPad and now I can't even use it - same with DTV - so is Apple now forcing people to buy upgraded devices thru their apps that will no longer support the older generations - what a joke this is and bad business.

Unfortunately software always moves faster than hardware.
Apple's not going to change things. You can try talking to those two app developers and have them make their older versions available.
Beyond that, if you wish to express yourself directly to Apple, http://www.apple.com/feedback/
This is just a user to user forum, so there's nothing anyone here can do for you I'm afraid.

HT5457 iPad 1 is a lot newer than iPhone 3GS. It has the A4 chip! Why no IOS 6 for the 1st gen. iPad?

iPad 1 is a lot newer than iPhone 3GS. It has the A4 chip! Why no IOS 6 for the 1st gen. iPad?

quite surprised it suggests that iPhone 3gs s more powerful than the iPad1? iphone 3gs is supported. something is fishy. i don't want to fall out of love with apple products. looks like it's a business decision to cut support for iPad 1 - not technical shortcoming. if apple cut support for 3gs they will upset customers who just bought 3gs before iphone 5 was launched.... tsk tsk tsk.. i'm not from US. hope to see a class action suit by US peeps to resolve this...
