Why cant i update my original ipad to ios 6?

Why can't I update my original iPad to IOS 6?

... and by the way it's not only older iPads that do not support iOS 6.  The original iPhone, iPhone 3G (second generation iPhone), and many iPods do not support it either.
And, as this article shows, newer but not very new generations (e.g., iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4) support some but not all features.  Here's more detail:

    Can I update my original iPad past 5.0?

    You can get it to 5.1.1 via iTunes on your computer, but that is the latest compatible iOS for the original iPad.

  • Why can't I update my original iPad above iOS 5.1.1?

    WHy is iOS 5.1.1 the only update I can run on my original iPad?

    Because Apple couldn't get iOS 6 or above to run on it at a reasonable speed, if at all.

  • HT4972 Why cant I update my iphone 3G from iOS 4.2 to newer version

    Can't load any apps to my phone, not even ones I've had on before. tried restoring to factory settings etc.

    If you have the apps you downloaded before in your computer, you could sync your iPhone 3G and get the working apps back in your iPhone.  Since the 3G's hardware does not support the latest iOS and many app developers have updated their apps to use the new features of newer iPhones and newer iOS, those updated apps will not work on the 3G, but the older versions will and you can still sync them to your phone if you have those olders versions in your computer.

    Why can I not use multi-touch gestures on my original iPad with iOS 5?

    It would appear that apple has managed to p1ss off  alot of ipad one users in one fowl swoop, what makes it worse is that fact we were the early adoptors who got asked, why do you want a big iphone for? and then spent time showing people how good it was! actually promoting it for apple! and then to get this kick in the teeth is frustrating! i wish i had known about xcode before!
    however!
    keep sending feedback, i must have sent twenty yesterday and will keep sending them untill i get a reply from these idiots! and wont stop untill i do, the more feedback sheets we fill in the more they will have to listen, it takes less than a min, i just asking the same question! moaning on here wont do anything, feedback might
    also note they have changed the website now, but they have not changed the iOS5 spash screen :
    (•          AirPlay Mirroring for iPad 2 and iPhone 4S
              •          Multitasking Gestures for iPad
              ◦          Use four or five fingers to pinch to the Home Screen
              ◦          Swipe up to reveal the multitasking bar
              ◦          Swipe left or right to switch between apps)
    clearly they were planning on releasing this update to us, otherwise on the spalsh screen it would have stated ipad 2 only, note in the sentence above it states it CLEARLY makes a reference to ipad 2 for airplay, so, whatever the problem, they can fix it and they know it works!

  • Why cant i print from my ipad using airport express but i can print from my mac using the express

    why cant i print from my ipad using airport express but i can print from my mac using the express

    Because your printer has to be Airprint compatible and connected to WiFi. There are applications, such as Printopia, that will allow you to print through your computer.

  • No WIFI after iOS 5.0.1 over-the-air update on original iPad

    No WIFI after iOS 5.0.1 over-the-air update on original iPad. I have reset the network settings,  power off the iPad, trying static IP and nothing, it's unable to join my wifi network. anybody with the same issue?

    Great!  Thanks, this works.
    I have an old Linksys WRT54G in it I can select WPA Personal and AES as algorithm--it works for me (though maybe just changing to anything works!  but I will not try anything different since I have spent already so much time with this problem.)  Again, thanks for the solution Juan.

  • Why cant i update to os 10.7.5

    why cant i update to os 10.7.5?

    If you're still running 10.6.3, you'll need to update to 10.6.8 to get the App Store. Since you didn't supply any information about your Mac, Lion might not be a good match for you.
    After you have the App Store, Lion can be ordered here: http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6106Z/A/os-x-lion

    The sum of a column of values is out by a couple of cents. I suspect this has something to do with rounding.  The values I am trying to add were derived by multiplying another set of values by a percentage.
