Why won't apple make iOS 6 for iPad 1

I was exited to get an iPad when they came out 2yrs ago and paid a premium price for it.  Apple won't support it?

search back about how many complaints there were because iphone4 were slow with ios7 and you will see
it's the same reason why microsoft don't support win7 on 386-25Mhz computers

  • Does apple make a printer for iPad if not how dow I get it to work with a HP Officejet 6500A Plus printer?

    Does Apple make a printer for the iPad and if not how do I get it to work with a HP Officejet 6500A Plus printer? Thanks

    Apple don't make any printers, but there are a number of the printers that are AirPrint-enabled, which you should be able to print to just by the printer and the iPad being on the same wifi network - the models that support AirPrint are listed on this page (the page also includes a bit of troubleshooting at the bottom of it) and it includes :
    HP Officejet 6500A e-All-In-One E710a
    HP Officejet 6500A Plus e-All-In-One E710n
    If your's isn't one of those then you could see if HPs own ePrint app works with it, or there are third-party printer apps such as PrintCentral Pro and Print n Share which might work it

  • HT1414 Will apple make ios 7 for ipod 4g?

    Will apple make ios7 for ipod touch 4g?

    All the iOS devices compatible (iPhone 4 and later, iPad 2 and later, and 5G iPod touch) with iOS 7 have at least 512 MB of memory. The 4G only has 256 MB

  • TS1702 Why won't apple support my 1st edition iPad any longer. Apart from greed?

    Why will apple no longer support my iPad 1.
    I am no longer able to read magazines I have subscribed to because the app now needs iOS 6.
    And apple won't let me upgrade my software.
    Rip off I thinks.

    Neither Apple (nor any other company) will support a product forever. The iPad one is, by technology standards, obsolete. It has nothing to do with corporate greed - unless you define greed as making a profit.
    Your iPad still works, apparently. If you wish additional functionality, buy a new one - it is your money and decision.

  • Why won't apple make a special ios 7 for 4g ipod touch

    Im very disappointed in apple right now they had me all excited about ios and they never even tried to make it for ipod touch 4g. Is my ipod going to end up like the iPhone 3, and all the older stuff. If it does i will eventually switch over to microsoft and google.

    The hardware, as has been said here many times already, will not support iOS 7. Apple would have to strip so much out of iOS 7 to make it run effectively on a fourth-gen iPod touch that you would basically just have iOS 6 with different icons and fonts.
    As to switching to Microsoft and Google, by all means do so if you feel they'd serve you better, but Android and Windows Phone are far worse about supporting old hardware than Apple is with iOS, so check carefully before you buy.

  • Why won't Apple make 3G iPads into mobile use for calls and text?

    All your iPhone, iPad mini and all other idevices are great, but if you want to win the competition with Apple vs Samsung, you better include what all mobile devices do not have, which is to simply NOT ABLE TO TURN OFF WHEN THE PHONE IS STOLEN. You can put passwords, install Find My IPhone, but wont do **** when the thief can just simply turn off the device from lock screen. With the new iOS 7 and new features of Find My iPhone, I suggest that you also include to ask for the apple ID and password when wanting to turn off the idevice and when the password is correct, the current location will be emailed to their account so they know when and where they have turned off their phone, if it was however a kidnapping or stolen, it will help police locate the device or person more faster, would you not agree this is a great feature to have. Anyone who buys an iPhone now already includes data plan for Internet anyways.
    Hope this comes available for the releasing of the iOS 7 new update this coming summer.
    Thank you,

    This is an iPad user to user forum, so you are not addressing Apple. We have no way to know what and when Apple will do something. You'll have to wait for an announcement by Apple.
    Send feedback/suggestions to Apple.

  • Why won't Apple support "text blocking for teens while driving"?

    I was watching the Today show and they did a spot on teens and texting.  Did you know that 18 teens die PER DAY because of texting?  Fortunately, there are many products out there that can block texting and phone calls (except 911) while the car is moving.  Unfortunately, Apple will not support any of these products.  Why?  Are they not concerned about the safety of our teens?

    This is a user-to-user forum. You're not actually addressing Apple here. Submit your feedback using the Feedback page:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback
    You might also want to contact your carrier and have them block text messaging on your teenagers' phones if they have demostrated they can't use texting responsibly.
    Best of luck.

  • Why won't they make iTunes for us Linux users?

    There is a large community of Linux users. We have no ITunes nor anything that we can make purchases, upgrades, synch etc. Why won't Apple make iTunes available for ALL users. I keep an old desktop running Windows XP simply for iTunes. Is there a reason Linux users are ignored?

    iTunes does not support Linux. However, Wine may allow you to run iTunes. But you may encounter errors and problems. http://www.winehq.org/

  • Why dose apple not make a version of ios 6 for ipad 1

    i realy want apple to make a version of ios 6 for ipad 1 so i dont have to be board since i dont have advantages cause there are lots of bugs on my ipad and i cant get certain games

    It's probably due to the RAM and processor limitations.
    iPad: RAM - 256MB, Processor - 1 GHz Apple A4
    iPad 2: RAM - 512MB, Processor - 1GHz dual-core Apple A5
    iPad 3: RAM 1024MB, Processor - 1GHz dual-core Apple A5X
    iOS 6: Which software features does my iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch support?

  • Why won't Apple allow an app like Covenant Eyes to monitor internet activity on the Safari browser on iOS?

    Why won't Apple allow an app like Covenant Eyes to monitor internet activity on the Safari browser on iOS?

    Yes, that is the app.  It is used to monitor your internet activity, but because Apple won't allow an app like Covenant Eyes to monitor the Safari browser or any other browsers the Covenant Eyes app has to be its own browser which causes some issues.  You can't click on a link and have it open because the iOS tries to open Safari by default when you do that.
    I'm just wondering if there is anywhere on Apple's website that discusses this type of thing, why they don't allow an app like Covenant Eyes to monitor the Safari browser.  The Covenant Eyes program for Macs will monitor internet activity on the computer.

  • Why won't apple create a grooveshark app for the iPod when android is because a lot of people have grooveshark accounts?

    Why wont apple let grooveshark great an app for the iPod when android and Microsoft have because apple is missing out in a big opportunity because a lot of people have grooveshark accounts?

    Why won't groovershark create an app for Apple's IOS products?  They're missing out on a big opportunity because a lot of people have iPods and iPads and iPhones.

  • I would just like to ask apple if they can make ios 7 for ipod 4th gen because my friends are showing off the new ios 7 with there ipod 5 or iphone

    i would just like to ask apple if they can make ios 7 for ipod 4th gen because my friends are showing off the new ios 7 with there ipod 5 or iphone

    No. The hardware in the fourth-gen iPod touch won't handle iOS 7 or Apple would have released it for your model of iPod. If you want to run iOS 7, you'll need a new iPod.

  • Why won't Apple give out the unlock code for an iPhone 3Gs when the contract was honored and I am still an AT

    Why won't Apple give out the unlock code for an iPhone 3Gs when the 2  year contract was honored and I continued to be an AT&T customer with an iPhone 4. I wanted my old 3gs unlocked so my daughter could use it overseas when she is deployed. AT&T service over there *****, the international plan was not worth it. The individual SIM cards per country are much more reliable and cheaper. Teslestial in Iraq and Afghanistan, Telecom in Croatia,Vodafphone in Germany and Italy.  Why Apple will not unlock these phones for our military to utilize is incomprehensible to me.  These young men and women are fighting for these Apple people to go to work every day, safe, to live lives they have become accustom to yet releasing a phone to use on another network they can't do at least for the military.... WHY APPLE??  WHY?   A good excuse not some of the many lame excuses I have received on the phone many times. AT&T states it is Apple that will not allow them to unlock the phones...  Please tell me why?  All I want Is my daughter to have a phone I trust, to be able to call me when she is given the free time to do so and I trust the apple phone.
    Apple, please reconsider your stance on this issue.  I am having a hard time understanding why you will not unlock the iPhone. 
    A simple code could allow me to talk to my daughter while fighting for our country the Great USA.  Apple should be on the front line and enabling those fighting for our life, liberty and pursuit of happiness to use unlocked phones on reliable local GSM networks.
    I honestly hope that someone who has some sort of authority to begin allowing the release of unlock codes, and not forcing people to unlock their phones with some program produced by some hack just to be able to use your wonderful phone.  That is is in a nutshell, People love the iPhone so much that they want the ability to use it on the most reliable GSM carrier available to them.  That should be a major compliment. Even men and women on the front line want your phone. I agree, my service is not the best where I live either, love the GSM technology so stay with it, but if I had the ability to change to the other GSM network that has much better coverage in this area of the country I would change. To change now I would not have my iPhone and that I will not part with. 
    Apple, please reconsider opening up the lock code and allow your gem of a phone to be used by many more people in many more areas and most importantly overseas fighting for our country.  I know if this is really thought about Apple would understand and come to the conclusion to release the unlock codes, and stop the people from hacking in to use the iPhone on other networks.
    I would love for my daughter to be able to use my iPhone 3gs while fighting for our Free country.
    A response would be appreciated.
    Thank you.
    An Apple customer for 10 years, phones and computers.
    P

    Defiled:
    I did sign a two year contract and completed that contract. The 3gs is no longer in service. My daughter is going overseas to protect you and your family. I was attempting to find a way for her to have a reliable phone that could offer her some connection with home as she travels through the middle east.  She travels in missions all over.
    At&T unlocks other phones of theirs why not the iPhone?  AT&T says that Apple will not give them the code, it is not the carrier.  If I would have known this situation would have come up I would have bought and unlocked 3gs phone"Deggie" .  My main complaint is that Apple has not good excuse as to why they will not allow their phones to be unlocked from services well, AT&T .  I bought the phone full price, completed the contract terms, even went for and iPhone 4 with another2 year contract, along with owning an apple computer... I love the product.  My main issue is give me a good answer as to why you won't allow a phone to be unlocked. It doesn't hurt Apple, People still have to buy the phones from them, and use their App store and iTunes.
    Sorry, just upset about my daughter heading over there, boots on the ground, and just pray she will be safe. Would have liked to facetime her while she is in the airports and in specific areas allowed for that.
    Please don't come down on me for asking this question. I understand all the contracts etc.... but to single out the iPhone specifically to not unlock after contract is over does not seem fair.
    Thank you for your responses.

  • Why do i constantly get cut off on calls.  I've had this problem with my 3GS, my 4S and now my iPhone 5.  When the core functionality is Phone, i.e. the ability to talk, why can't Apple make the iPhone function as a Phone?  is there an App for that !!

    Well, since you've had the same problem, with three different phones, that all use different size sim cards, it seems pretty obvious the problem is with your carrier/coverage & nothing to do with your phone or sim card.
