Why can't I update my iPad to the latest iOS

I have the iPad 1 st generation and have tried several times to download iOS5 but the system downloads 75% then terminates the download, any idea on how to fix it?
Also does the iPad 1st gen have face time? It has the tiny camera on the front but no "app" sign throughout the menu.
Thanks

There is no camera on the face of the iPad 1 and no FaceTime app either. There would be no sense in having FaceTime without the camera. That little tiny hole that you see is the ambient light sensor which will adjust the screen brightness automatically if set to do so in the settings.
Disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily and then try to download and install the iOS update.

You have an iPad 1. 5.1.1 is the last iOS version for that model.

I updates my iPad with the latest iOS and despite backing up all the information prior, my iBooks application was deleted along with a hundred important PDFs on it. Is it possible to locate these missing files? Urgently requires assistance. Thank you!

Hi Sam,
I understand where you are about being your own IT department, it can be overwhelming ...
What drives to buy depends an awful lot on how you will use them, what your budget is, and your preferences.
In the case of your DP Powermac, for online storage used primarily for editing, I would add one or more internal drives first. Look for drives that are at least 7200rpm and have at least an 8MB cache. 10,000rpm/16MB cache is even better, but more expensive. Seagate Barracudas have always been good choices.
For backup purposes, I'd pick some good external FireWire drives; you can also use these for online editing, lots of people do. Your Mac has both FW400 and FW800 ports - either kind is fine but if you get drives that support both, you would want to connect them to the FW800 port for the added performance.
In my experience, the Lacie d2 Extreme drives have been very very good. In fact I have 3 of them daisy-chained off my iMac G5 right now and they work flawlessly with FCE. Weibetech and Granite Digital drives are further upscale in performance and price. RAID configurations would be even further upscale. Do stay away from consumer level hard drives, however ... the Western Digital MyBook series & no-name drives come to mind ...
Don't use a FireWire hub for your external drives, it's just asking for trouble.
ps. And thanks for your nice comment about me. I'm happy to help, as are other folk in the forum.

Yes.
See the chart below to determine whether you can upgrade your device and what you can upgrade to. If you do not have a Software Update option present on your iDevice, then you are trying to upgrade to iOS 5 or higher. You will have to connect your device to your computer and open iTunes in order to upgrade.

I can't update my iPad to the latest iOS

It doesn't give me the option to update

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1.3. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.

HT201184 Why can't I update my MacBook with the latest iTunes application?

I purchased a MacBook in 2009. I tried connecting my new iPhone in order to Sync with iTunes, but I'm prompted to update my iTunes on the Apple website. When I do the update, I receive a message that my computer doesn't accept the update. What could be wrong?

Run this update:

HT4623 Do I need to update my iPad to the latest IOS?

I have an iPad 3rd gen. Is it important to update to the new 7.0 IOS? I heard a rumour that it was going to be compulsory?????

If you do not have any Apps that *need* iOS 7 or any real need to update and you are updating just for the sake of updating, I would just wait. You could very well have an issue-free update as the majority of people have but you also stand the chance of running into issues reported here and elsewhere.
You will eventually have to update though due to apps eventually requiring iOS 7. In my personal use, I have no need nor desire to update at this point...there's no big rush. Wait for a few more iOS updates that will hopefully clear up some of the more common issues users are having. Remember that once you DO update to iOS 7, it's impossible to go back to the previous iOS version.

Why can't I update my iPad 1 beyond 5.1.1

Why can't I update my iPad 1 beyond IOS 5.1.1??

Because it doesn’t have the hardware needed to run iOS 6 or above.

Why can't I update my iPad 3G to IOS 5? It is stuck at IOS 4.2.

Why can't I update my iPad 3G from IOS 4.2 to IOS 5? iTunes says that no upgrades are available for the iPad but it updated my iPhone 4 and iPod Touch to IOS 5.

No idea. What exactly is it that you see when you connect to iTunes (provide complete text, please).
But, before doing that, bring both your iPad and your computer/iTunes combination back to a 'clean' configuration; on the iPad do a Reset, on the computer at a minimum log out and in of your user account (in OS X, or whatever the Windoze equivalent would be) or if you prefer just do a Restart. If any flags are incorrectly set anywhere that should set them back to their proper states and, if that happens, you'll be in business when you connect and will see the update available.

HT4972 why can't i update my ipad 1 to ios 5

Why can't I update my ipad to ios 5?

Why can't you?
If you are running an iOS version lower than 5, you'll need to connect your iPad to a computer running iTunes and update through there.

Why can I not update my iPad first generation to the latest software?

Why can I not update my iPad first generation to the latest software?

Which version of iOS is supported is a decision made by each
individual software developer. If there is an app that is not available
in iOS 5, contact the developer to see if they can provide a version
compatible with your iOS.
Perhaps one of these links may help:
iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
Vintapps 3.1.3 - paid app.
Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
