Will the current iPad 2 upgrade to iOS 5?

Hi, I wanted to know if the current version of iPad 2 will be upgraded to the iOS 5 (scheduled for release this fall)?
SHould I buy the iPad 2 right now or wait for the iOS 5 to hit the market?

If you mean how do you get iOS 5 then you need to wait until it's available, which will be sometime in the Autumn. If you enter your email address on this page then you will be notified when it's available : http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/notify-me/
When it is out you'll be able to update to it by connecting your iPad to your computer's iTunes and clicking the Check For Updates button on the Summary tab.

Will the original iPad 1 upgrade to iOs 6 ?

Using original iPad 1
Current iOs is 5.1.1
It will not upgrade to iOs 6
Did apple stop supporting original iPad ?

I did not say it was 3 years old, I said it was ALMOST 3 years old. 2 years seven months is closer to 3 years that your estimated "less than 2"
More to the point, less than 3 years support for a $700 tablet is criminal & steeling from the public. We should complain & loudly. We the consumers have made Apple what it is.
When the tech industry moves as fast as it does, 3 years is quite long. Show me any device that receives updates past 3 years any device I dare you. And no a PC is not a valid comparison, because it does not recieve updates. the OS does. And a 3 year old PC that could barely run Windows XP for example is not going to be able to Run Windows 8.
The iPad 1 no longer has the hardware necessarry to support the new iOS. But again that does not mean it automatically stops functioning. Or cannot be taken in for a check if there is something wrong with it. If you still have Apple Care on it, it is totally covered. Just because it did not get a recent update does not mean its junk now.
Many people still run an iPad with iOS 3.2 just fine. that's 2 updates they could not care less about. Why suddenly eveyrbody moaning because the latest one can't be applied? Running iOs 5.1.1 should give it at least another year of functional life where it can still download appliations and work perfectly fine.
Again the iPad does not cease functioning because the update can't be applied. It still works just as it did before.
I will never buy another iPad, period.
Good for you, you'll never buy another mobile device ever either, if you keep expecting support for long periods of time. If everybody ss rotten as you say, what exactly are you expecting to buy then? Do you think Apple is going to miss your business. there are literally millions of people happy with their purchases with Apple and with other Manufacturers
And just for the record, I neither work for Apple nor think that everything they do is great. Just like I can point the flaws in Android or Microsoft so can I point them out in Apple. And they do have many falws.

Will the new itunes be upgraded on the ipad

When iTunes is upgraded this month will the player on the new ipad be upgraded as well?

Apple will update iTunes for Mac and PC, not iOS, so it will be the same on your devices

Ipad 2 upgraded to iOS 8.0.2 and the cellular signal doesn't work. Have to restart the unit to work with cellular signal. After a while it goes off and no service indication appears.

iPad 2, Since upgrading to iOS 8.0.2 the cellular signal indicates I do not have a SIM card. Monday spent hours on the phone with Apple support, backed up my iPad, reset all settings, reloaded my iPad and it still tells me I don't have a SIM card. Tuesday went to AT&T and got a new SIM card on the advice of apple support. It worked perfect until this morning and the NO SIM CARD notice reappeared. Never ever had any problem until the upgrade. I find it inexcusable that Apple refuses to address the issues they caused, iOS 8.0.2 is the Ebola of iPad 2 world. I dont have any cellular service after wasting two days trying to address and fix a problem Apple is responsible for. It's obvious Steve Jobs is no longer running the company. Furious & fustrated. How does Apple expect anyone who uses an iPad 2 for work, to remain a customer who will return to their products?

I am reading on this site about the error I am getting and it wants me to change some files that I am not comfortable messing with. Mainly because it is like a foreign language. Will the store do this for me or tell me if it is neccessary?

When IOS7 comes out, will the current iPhone 5 and iPad mini have the finger scanner option, or is it just the new 5S, because in the release videos, they showed an on screen finger scanner, so I was curious whether older models will have this function?

Please Answer

The fingerprint scanner will be a function of new hardware.

IPad 2 upgrade to iOS 8.0.2 made some of the homescreen icons change to geometric patterns.

After upgrading iPad2 to iOS 8 some (not all) of the home screen application icons changed to a geometric black and white pattern. The application would still open when the icon was tappedWhen upgrading to iOS 8.0.2 they briefly changed to normal, but are now back to being black and white. The Apple iOS 8 applications were not affected and are all as they were before upgrading to iOS 8. This bug has me bugged.

Thanks damien258, your solution worked and my home screen icons are now showing up fine, but they are now somewhat out of order as I had more than 100 of them on five screens. Crazy huh?

After my iPad 2 upgraded to IOS 5.0.1, built in Microphone not working

Just what I said, my iPad 2 upgraded to IOS 5.0.1 from IOS 5 on last week, the built in microphone is not working anymore, I can't record the video with sound, and called my friends with Facetime, they can't heard my voice. Then I already restored IOS 5.0.1 for a few time and built in microphone is still not working. Does anyone iPad 2 has the same issue after using IOS 5.0.1? And anyone can help me to fix this? Thx.

I've read other posts about this, and while it seems an odd coincidence, you likely have a faulty microphone. On the right hand side you'll see similar posts. The majority of people who all of the sudden had mic's that wouldn't work after updating, wound up getting their iPads replaced at the Genius Bar at their local Apple Store. You could try rebotting, by pressing and holding BOTH the home and power buttons at the SAME time for at least 10 seconds (ignore the red slider to shut down) until the Apple Logo appears, then let go fo both buttons and your iPad will restart. If that doesn't work, I would not recommend restoring. Instead, make an appointment at the Apple Store and if found defective it will be replaced. Do remember to create a backup before going. It will make setting up a new device exactly as you had it, much much simpler.

Will the new iPad open password protected PDF files?

I attend college online, and have always had a problem viewing password protected PDF files on my iPad. Will the new iPad allow opening these files?
Thank you!

You can install the same iOS version running the new iPad onto your iPad.
Download the free Adobe Reader app from the App Store. It opens password protected PDFs just like thee desktop version.

HT5457 I got the 1st iPad but it needs iOS on it I don't know how to go about getting it can someone help me

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.0.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.
iOS 5: Updating your device to iOS 5 or Later
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update.
 Cheers, Tom
