Why am I unable to update past IOS 5.1 on my original IPAD?

I own the original IPAD and it has not allowed an IOS update since 5.1.1.  Is this normal or is there something wrong?

The original iPad does not have sufficent hardware to run any version of iOs after 5.1.1

  • Unable to update my  iOS on my iPad and iPhone.

    I am unable to update my iOS on my iPad and iPhone. Though I have had these devices and have been updating for over a year, the issue just started with this new release (iOS 5.1).
    When I connect my Pad and Phone to iTunes (Windows PC with Vista), I am told that an update is available. When I update, iTunes tries to connect to a server. Then I receive the message, "There was a problem downloading the software for the iPad. The network connection could nopt be established."
    When I try to update the devices iOS using WiFi directly (not connected to iTunes). The devices say, "Checking for Update..." and does not connect. It says, "Unable to check for update...An error occurred while checking for a software update...Cancel or Try Again"

    I solved this by downlading the iOS update via wi-fi at another location other than my home. I would still like to know why this download did not work at my home as it has for over a year. I have made no changes in my firewall or security settings.

  • IPod Touch Won't Update Past iOS 4.2.1

    I have a 16gb, 3rd generation iPod Touch (purchased September, 2009) that will not update past iOS 4.2.1.  I know that the 16gb 3rd gen model didn't get all of the iOS 4 features that the rest of the 3rd gen models did, but I can't find anything on the Apple page about 4.3 that would indicate that some subset of the 3rd gen iTouches would be unable to get the update.  I'm running Windows 7 64-bit and iTunes version 10.2.2.12.  Any ideas what's going on?

    It just says that it has the most up-to-date software.  From what I can tell, when they originally released the 3rd generation iPod Touch, the 16 gb one still used the 2nd generation hardware.  At the time, it was still called 3rd generation.  As recently as last summer when iOS 4 was released, it was still refered to as 3rd generation (the iOS 4 release information had asterisks on the 3rd gen iPod Touch to say that various features like multitasking wouldn't work with the 16 gb model).  Now Apple seems to have retroactively decided to just call it 2nd generation.  I'm not very happy since it was sold to me as 3rd generation...

    What happens when you connect to computer and update via iTunes?
    The Settings>General>Software Update comes with iOS 5 and later.
    Connect the iPod to your computer and update via iTunes as far as your iPod model allows
    iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    You need itunes 10 or later and that requires OSX 10.5.8 or later
    You have a 2G (vi the SN yo provided) and that can go as high as 4.2.1

  • IPad 1 will not update past iOS 5.1.1, many apps require iOS 6.0 or later. also since updating to 5.1.1 safari frequently crashes.

    My IPad 1 will not update past iOS 5.1.1, however many apps require iOS 6.0 or later what can I do?
    Also, since updating to 5.1.1 Safari frequently crashes.  Help!!!!!!

    5.1.1. is the end of the line for the original iPad. You can't go beyond that. As for the safari crashes, is it tied to specific websites? Have you tried clearing the cache and history?
