Why wont my iPad update past iOS 5.1.1??

I have an iPad original that is currently running iOS 5.1.1 that says it is currently up to date, however apps that need to be updated say they can't without iOS 6 or higher.  I have even restored it back to its factory settings and still nothing.  Has my apple product become obsolete??

It's incapable of running iOS 6 or newer, or application versions which require iOS 6.

  • Why won't my original iPad update past IOS 5.1.1

    I purchased an iPad when they first came out and my IOS has always updated when a new version came out however right now its version 5.1.1 and it says my IOS is up to date but I now have APPS that say I need an updated IOS.  I tried connecting wired to my PC and iTunes but no difference in results

    The iPad 1 will not go further than 5.1.1 because the hardware can not accommodate the newer software.

  • Why wont my ipod update past 4.2

    I'm hoping somebody can help. I jail broke my ipod a while back and now i want to update it, i tried looking for a new update but itunes keeps telling me that the ipod is already at the newest update, even though the newest is 5. something i am stuck on 4.2... I want to know if restoring my ipod will help with this and allow me to update or if updating will even be possible for me. I will try anything to get it to update, i have already saved allmy music and apps and synced and there are no errors.. Please help, Thanks

    Apple's Terms of Use forbid anyone here offering help with Jailbroken devices.
    I will just mention though;
    if your iPod has iOS 4.2.1 on it, it is not an iPod Classic
    if your iPod has iOS 4.2.1 on it, the chances are it is a 2nd gen Touch, which cannot install iOS after 4.2.1
    if your iPod has Model No. A1288 etched into the back casing, it is a 2nd gen Touch
    the latest (newest) version of iOS is 6, not 5.

  • HT4623 will the ipad 1st generation take updates past ios 5.1.1?  i have not been able to update to ios 6.

    Will the 1st generation Ipad take updates past ios 5.1.1? I have not been able to update to ios 6.

    5.1.1 is the highest for the first generation iPad.

  • HT4623 Why can't my 1st generation iPad update to iOS 6?  Memory is not an issue.

    Why can't my 1st generation iPad update to iOS 6 when memory is not an issue?

    The first gen iPad has a slower processor (A4) than the iPad 2 (dual-core A5) and iPad 3 (dual-core A5X) and 4 (A6X), and it also has less memory - 256 meg, compared to the iPad 2's 512 meg and the iPad 3 and 4's 1024 meg. My first gen iPad got noticeably slower with iOS 5 than it was with iOS 4, so I doubt that it could cope with iOS 6.

  • 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?

  • Why wont my iPad connect to the closest/strongest wifi?

    Why wont my iPad connect to the closest/strongest wifi at home? It alway defaults to the one upstairs even when I am right next to our extender in the kitchen?

    Try #5.
    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

    Wifi Doesn't Connect After Waking From Sleep - Sometimes increasing screen brightness prevents the failure to reconnect after waking from sleep. According to Apple, “If brightness is at lowest level, increase it by moving the slider to the right and set auto brightness to off.”

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.

    Because iOS 7 runs on iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch.

    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Featurs appin the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - New cable and different USB port
    - Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

  • Why wont my ipad connect to wifi ???

    why wont my ipad connect to wifi ???

    You just aren't suppling us with enough information.  Are you trying to connect to the WiFi at home or at work?  Will other WiFi devices connect successfully with that WiFi access-point?  Is your WiFi access point showing up on the list of available access points when you're trying to connect to it from the iPad, or are you being forced to manually enter it in?  We really need more info about your specific situation before we can help.
    Thanks,
    L.
