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

    No.
    5.1.1 is the highest iOS the first generation can go to.

  • Does an ipad 3 generation can use the iOS 8.1.2 ?

    i gave my ipad 3 generation (A1416 with a capacity of 16 GB) the software update (iOS 8.1.2) but my ipad isn't working how it used to. my iMessages aren't working, i can't download anything. its simply not working.

    Yes, the ipad 3 can run iOS 8.1.2. I have an iPad 3 and it works fine on 8.1.2.
    Perhaps some more detail on the problems you are having might help us to help you.
    One thing to check, make sure that the storage on your iPad is not too full. It's best to leave a couple of GB available for iOS to work with

  • IPad 1st generation crash down

    Hello everybody,
    I have an iPad 1st generation with the latest iOS.
    Since a while I recognize, that e. g. the Safari on iPad crash down and I have to restart Safari. If it goes worse, the crash downs repeat and repead and suddenly after a while it works like nothing happened before.
    A reboot of the device do not help.
    Any ideas?
    Kind regards,
    Michael

    Reboot the device by pressing and holding down the home and sleep/wake buttons (power) at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
    If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings

  • How can I load and read pdf's on an old iPad 1st generation?

    Bought the wife a new iPad mini and I inherited the older iPad 1st generation. I would like to use it to store and read a lot of my pdf's. How do I get them into the iPad and how do I view and read the pdf's? I think the IOS 5 is far as I can go on updating... I think. Thanks for any help.

  • Can I use a Vodafone USB Dongle with my apple IPad 1st Generation if I have a USB adaptor for my IPad

    Hi there just wondering does anyone know if I can use a Vodafone USB Dongle with my apple IPad 1st Generation 16gb (WiFi only) if I have a USB adaptor, will the IPad !st generation support a A Vodafone Dongle(Irish network)

    You cannot plug a USB dongle into an iPad using the USB part of the iPad Camera Connection Kit.
    The Camera Connection Kit is for connecting cameras - hence the name.
    You'd need to get a MiFi device to use 3G data via WiFo on your iPad.

  • 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.

    Restore your phone as a new device in iTunes, this "should" remove the jailbreak & restore all default apps to your phone.

  • Why does my iPad ( 1st generation) keep shutting down

    Does anyone have any ideas why my iPad (1st generation) keep closing down and what I need to do to rectify it?

    Pam-
    It could be that the battery charge indicator is showing 100 percent when you actually have almost no charge left.  In case that is the problem, leave your iPad connected to its wall charger overnight, and see if that helps.
    One other thing to try, is to reset (reboot) your iPad.  Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow.  The iPad will restart after a couple of minutes.  Resetting this way will not hurt anything, and sometimes solves mysterious problems.
