Will iOS 5 bog down my first generation iPad?

Will iOS 5 bog down my first generation iPad?

Since iOS5 has not been release, we don't know. Anyone who does know, is likely under NDA to not discuss it on these public forums.  (We don't even know if iOS5 "will bog down" and iPad2 either. )
Best to wait until iOS5 is released, but don't install it immediately, and wait for what everyone else says.

  • I have the first generation iPad, how do I get the software update iOS 6?

    I have the first generation iPad and I'm trying to download apps but my device keeps telling me to download the iOS software update 6. When I go to updates in my settings it's saying my device is up to date with iOS 5.1.1, but it's saying I need the iOS 6. How do I upgrade my device if it's not showing iOS update 6?

    The first generation iPad cannot be updated past iOS 5.1.1
    You may still be able to get compatible versions fo the Apps by downloading the App to iTunes on a computer or another device that does support the current  App version using the same Apple Id you have on your iPad. With that done you can follow these instructions from your iPad to get a compatible version:

    I bought an Airport Express from a supplier who told me I'd need at least iOS 5.4 on my iPad.  My first generation iPad is apparently up to date but the iOS is only 5.1.1.  Before I unpack the device I want to know whether it will work with this earlier version.

    Apple says that a minimum of iOS 5.0 is required. See the support document below. Look for Requirements on the left hand side of the page about half way down.
    Requirements: Compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. Requires iOS 5.0 or later.

  • "first generation Ipad powered down but now will not open/restart" What to do?

    Please someone help me.  My first generation Ipad powered down but now will not open/restart.  What to do?

    Well, actually that's no reset hole, that's the microphone hole...
    So it won't start even when plugged in to the power? What happens, does it start to boot and not complete or does it do absolutely nothing when you press the sleep/wake button?
    Have you tried plugging it into a Mac or PC running iTunes and resetting it to factory defaults from there?

  • First generation iPad keeps shutting down safari and other problems.

    I have a first generation iPad.  It is currently running on iOS 5.1.1.   Now I just updated the software on my iPhone to is 6.1.2.  Does the iPad not follow the same update schedule?  It doesn't say it needs to be updated. 
    Anyway, on to my original problem.   My safari will randomly close down.   I'm not sure if it's considered crashing because no dialog box appears.  It usually happens on particular sites like Facebook or news sites.  If I go back it happens again. But I can go to a different site and it will work without closing down.  I am also having trouble typing emails or message board responses.  I will be in the middle of typing and it will stop responding.  I have to close the keypad and then fetal the screen so I can resume typing.  This can happen several times.  I'm not sure what the problem is.  I went through and cleared out a bunch of old apps hiking maybe my memory was getting to full.  That didn't help.  I reset my iPad and used my back p to get my apps back.  Didn't help.  Finally I reset my iPad to factory settings.  I didn't even restore my backup.   It's still happening. 
    Any ideas?

    You should try restoring the iOS software now if resetting the iPad did not help. This explains how to do it. I hope that you have a backup, because restoring the software erases the device, but you have the opportunity to restore from the back after the software is installed again.

    Pay close attention to the very end of this article - the section titled Additional Information. That will take to a link that instructs you how to use Recovery Mode to restore if the first method does not work for you.

  • Every app I try to download says I need iOS 6 or higher I have the first generation iPad what can I do?

    I have a first generation iPad every app I try to download says I need iOS 6.0 or higher to use it is there anything I can do?

    Some apps will let you run on a lower version of iOS.  Here's how to find out if the ones you want will run on your iPad.
    1.  Open iTunes on your computer and go to the App Store
    2.  Download the apps you want to your iTunes account in iTunes
    3.  On your iPad, tap the App Store
    4.  Tap the purchased tab
    5.  The apps you downloaded to your iTunes account on your computer will be listed with a cloud icon next to them.
    6.  Tap the cloud and if the app will run on a lower version of iOS, it will give you the option to download a version that will run on your iPad.  If the app doesn't give you the option, there's nothing you can do.

  • Ios updates to first generation iPad ?  Is 5.1.1 the end of the line ??

    ios updates to first generation iPad ?  Is 5.1.1 the end of the line ??

    That's not so good!  I found 5.1 was fairly stable but since upgrading to 5.1.1, Safari crashes frequently and it totally refuses to read some PDF's that have been readable in iBooks previously.
    My local Apple Store said the problem was that my IPad (2 years old) is obsolete and I should buy a new one!
    I know people have complained about IOS6 because of the mapping - but I would welcome anything that made it crash less!
    Maybe related but I used to charge the battery every three days (I just use it for email & web in the evenings).  Since the upgrade, I have to charge every day.  3 hours use tonight and it's down to 20%.
    I've completely disabled iCloud (again a shame because I really liked the syncing with my iPhone4s) and the only two apps that are ever active are Safari & Email. 
    Any ideas?  Should I just accept defeat, eBay this one and buy a new one?

    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.

  • My first generation iPad will not connect to you tube app that is on ipad

    FIrst generation iPad will not connect to you tube app

    YouTube and it's app is always evolving. What used to work may no longer work, not necessarily because of the app itself or the device itself but possibly because of certain protocols that are required when accessing YouTube. I had the same situation happen on an iPad 3 running an older iOS version along with an older version of the YouTube app. My ultimate solution was to update the app but that also required updating the iOS as well.
    if you are on iPad 1, that may no longer be possible since the maximum iOS for that model is iOS 5.1.1. If your iOS is already at that version and the YouTube app is also maximized, then you're out of luck using the official YouTube app. With the iPad 1, you'll be running into incompatibility issues more and more as iOS advances and apps advance...while the iPad 1 is stuck.

    You're correct. The ipad 1 will receive no further iOS updates than what you have, 5.1.1

  • I have a first generation ipad that I gave to my father.  He wants to download a few things and it says that he can't because he needs the new ios update.  When I try to download it it says that I can't.  Is the older version IPADS unable to update?

    I have a first generation IPad and it won't let me download unless I update to the new ios system.  When I go to do that it won't let me do that either. What advise can you offer?  Thanks

    Maybe a little more info would be helpful. How are you trying to update the iPad? What model iPad it is and what version of the iOS is on it now?
