Was iOS 5 meant for iPad 1st generation? Ever since updating it is slower and slower.
Was iOS 5 meant for iPad 1st generation? Ever since updating it is slower and slower.
When I first updated my original,iPad I had a number of issues with it, crashes, some sluggishness, and things like that. When the infest incremental update was released a little while later, it seemed to fix the issues on the iPad - or at least it made a very big difference.
I never updated it all the way to 5.1.1 - because I bought the new iPad so I have no first hand experience with 5.1.1 on the original iPad.
You can try some basic troubleshooting steps and see if they make a difference.
Quit all apps completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. 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 or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Sometimes this can help. 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 - let go of the buttons.
If you have issues with Safari - Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

I have 2 ipad ist generations. I updated one to OS and now netflix won't play on it but my nonupdated one still plays netflix.
I have the iPad2 with IOS5 and Netflix works fine with the Netflix application - I didn't try from Safari.
It shouldn't behave differently between iPad1 and iPad2. -
IBooks for iPad 1st generation
I just tried to download iBooks on my 1st generation iPad and it says that iOS7 is required. Since I can't upgrade to iOS7, does this mean I can't use iBooks?
I had the same problem but was able to resolve it with technical info from Apple Customer Service.
The solution is to not use (or delete) the ibooks 3.2 app from your itunes on your Mac computer (and iPad), then use an older version of ibooks which is 3.1.1.ipa.
It is not easy to find an older version of ibooks because Apple doesn't seem to make it available it, but there are a couple of sites out there that have it if you seach for "ibooks 3.1.1.ipa download".
The site I found it on was: http://zonatrick.com/apps-games/download/mobile/UKjR0LcH/iBooks_311.htm.
GOOD LUCK. -
Can not seem to get the update iOs 3 for my 1st generation ipod touch
I can not seem to get my pc to download the iOs 3.1 update for my ipod touch 1st generation. I keep getting the error 8288 message and it says that their is not a server connected. When it is all up and running. Can some one help me achieve updating my kids Ipod touch 1st generation so that they can have game apps on them?
Try uninstalling iTunes 10.5 and installing iTunes 10.4. It has worked for others.
You can also contact iTunes:

can 1st generation ipod touch be updated IOS 5.0 or later? Thx
Correct. If you have compatible versions of them on a computer or in a backup, you can load them into an iTunes library and then sync them to the iPod touch.

Why iPad 1st generation can't support iOS 6?
I just want to know why Apple didn't create iOS 6 for iPad 1st Generation, because when I find amazing apps at AppStore and I want to buy them, I can't because I need iOS 6 in my iPad, that's no funny!
As far as I know Apple haven't said. But the first gen iPad has a slower processor than subsequent models, and also less memory (256 meg, the iPad 2 has 512, and the 3 and 4 have 1 gig) - mine got noticeably slower with iOS 5, I doubt that it could cope with iOS 6

Ios 3.1.1 will not download for the 1st generation ipod touch
Why won't ios 3.1.1 download for the 1st generation ipod touch? It will start and then a second later stop.
Does it happen with the apps that came with the iPod?
Does it happen with all apps you have downloaded/installed?
Have you ried deleting the apps and redownload/install the apps? You will not be charged again if you are signed into the same iTunes account that originally purchased the apps.
Next would be to restore from backup
Last would be to restore to factory defaults/new iPod. -

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...
