Will the first gen ipad support display mirroring via airplay when IOS5 is released?

From what I have read, IOS5 will support display mirroring on the ipad 2.. Is this likely to be added to the first gen ipad ? If so then great, but if not, why not? Im sure if you can wirelessly stream music and movies to an Apple TV device (connected via wifi) from the ipad one, then surely you must be able to use display mirroring ?

In case you didn't click on the link above that is on the Apple site:
AirPlay Mirroring for iPad 2
Wow your audience in the board room, classroom, or living room. AirPlay now supports video mirroring. Which means you can wirelessly — and securely — stream whatever’s on your iPad 2 to your HDTV via Apple TV. Everyone in the room sees exactly what’s on your iPad display up there on the big screen — even when you rotate iPad from portrait to landscape or zoom in and out on photos.2
So unless you were told be Steve Jobs that the iPad 1 will also do AirPlay Mirroring it really doesn't matter what you have been told, you are posting at best speculation but more likely misinformation.
And no, don't have anything better to do.

  • HT4623 I have purchased a Epson Workforce 435, can't AirPrint, will this work with the first gen iPad?

    I have purchased a Epson Workforce 435, can't AirPrint, will this work with the first gen iPad?

    Also i forgot to add after a night of searching how to turn the Epson Workforce 435 printer into Airprint friendly and not iPrint (which are 2 completely different things) i donwloaded a program called (AirPrint Activator) from HandyPrint. The link is below to download the software. Once i installed the application i set my printer to be shared over my Home Network (Wi-Fi Network). Once you have done that, open the AirPrint Activator application you have just downloaded, swtich it ON from OFF mode, and then you should easily see your printer name in my case EPSON Workforce 435 and then just close the application. Then go to your IOS Device like your iphone/ipad/ipod touch select a picture that you want to test print or even an attached PDF from your email, and select Print in the share button. You will then be prompted to select your printer. Your printer you automatically be recongised then just select print. And now you have a complete AirPrint ready printer with a Printer that doesnt even support the function. Im sure you can do this to all Wireless Printers, even if they came out before Apple AirPrint service launch.
    And also if you still need guidance and a video to follow from just click the Youtube link below

    I don't know cause Apple decided for me.
    As does Microsoft anytime that they release a new update that is no longer compatible with the old PC hardware.
    I would hope that Microsoft and Apple would both know what operating systems will run on the hardware that is produced for them.
    I would also hope that Microsoft and Apple know better than you do as to what would work on their devices, tablets, computers, phones .... How much time and money have you put into research and development on the iPad?

  • HT201335 Is there a technical reason why the first gen iPad will not mirror?

    I have a first gen iPad running 5.1.1
    I had 5.1 and that did not work either. 
    A new 2012 apple tv and no go on the mirroring. My iPhone 4a mirrors. Why can't the first gen iPad

    I think the newer iPads have a 5 or 5x chip set.  What are they using in the first gen?
    I never thought of my iPad as slow
    I couldn't tell you off the top of my head.
    Yes iPad 1 still seems good for me too, but the 3rd gen is noticeably smoother in use.
    Absolute specs are really irrelevant - Apple have not allowed the iPad 1 to mirror and that's that - pretty much like older Macs pre 2011 not being able to do so due to lack of a CPU feature.

  • HT4623 can the first gen ipad mini be updated to ios 7?

    Looking to get an ipad mini for my son. He doesnt need to get on with the retina display but i want to be able to update still. Is the first gen mini able to be updated to ios7?

    Yes, I have 7.0.4 on mine.

  • Will the first generation iPad have multi gestures in iOS 5

    This was in the beta for 4.3 on the first gen but then removed.
    It didn't reappear in the beta for ios 5, which isn't a good sign but the page on apple.com doesn't say it will or won't.
    Any ideas? I quite liked the idea of them would be a shame to loose them.

    You'll find out when iOS 5 is released and you install it.

  • Will the first generation IPad have all iOS 5 features.

    I read a article that says that gesturing feature will not work on first generation iPads is this true. What features will work for first generation iPad

    You can read all that is known here:

  • Why is there no more update of software for the first gen ipad ?

    why have they stoped anymore updates...
    common...why do we have to stay with old updates..the new apps being updated demand ios 6..and anyways there are not many useful apps for ipad1..why do we suffer..:(..plz plz plz...update it...\

    Unfortunately, that's what happens with technology. At some point it becomes uneconomical to continue supporting.
    Be thankful you bought an iPad though, which Apple has supported with updates for at least a couple of years.
    If you had bought an Android tablet it likely would never receive any updates, and would forever be stuck on whatever version if Android it came with, or it would've stopped getting updates in a matter of months.

  • HT5457 When is their going to be a new soft ware update for the first gen IPads

    Are there going to be any more software updates for Gen 1 IPads?

    No, Apple have now discontinued support for iPad 1 so that is why you can't get iOS 7 on it.

  • Can the first generation iPad handle iOS 5

    I know with Mac computers after awhile the models cannot support the newest OS. Is this the same with iPads yet and if so can the first generation iPad handle iOS 5?

    as an owner of a first gen iPad running iOS 5.1, I can tell you with absolute certainty, that the first gen iPad is completely capable of running iOS 5. I have been running iOS 5 since the day it was released with no problems.

  • I have a first gen iPad, and it will randomly go home from the Internet when I don't press any button.  I have a wireless connection at home.

    I have a first gen iPad, and it will randomly go home from the Internet when I don't press any button.  I have a wireless connection at home.  Is this a known bug?  What can I do?

    You maybe running low on memory since you are using the original iPad with iOS 5.1.1 and the iPad is crashing. This may help and it certainly won't hurt.
    Quit all apps completely and reboot the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent 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.
    Reboot 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    Do this before you launch Safari again. Go to Settings>Safari>Clear Cookies and Data. You don't have to clear the history.

  • Will my first gen macbook work with ipad 2's face time?

    will my first gen macbook work with ipad 2's face time?

    As an update, I bought the WNDR3400v2 router and am supremely disappointed with its lack of power - but - the Lenovo W510 DOES work perfectly fine connecting to both the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz radios.
    The problem is the signal strength only twenty feet away up one floor is dismal (as compared to what it was with the ancient Linksys WRT54G for example).
    What bothers me is that Netgear goes to great lengths to hide the power output of the radio so I 'suspect' that it is anemic and I don't (yet anyway) suspect the radio on the W510 laptop. Netgear support would only tell me the EIRP at 2.4GHz is 20dBm, and at 5GHz it's double that. So I can only assume the power output from that. If I assume a 5dBi antenna gain for both frequencies, that results in a power output guesstimate of 15dBm (32mW) at 2.4GHz and double that at, i.e., 18dBm or 64mW, at 5GHz.
    The other side of the equation, of course, is the power & gain of the W510 radio & antenna.
    Do we have specs for the W510 power output & antenna gain (e.g., a typical laptop is about 50mW (roughly 15 to 18 dBm)  pushed into an antenna with a gain of about 1/2 dBi to about 1 dBi at best, regardless of what the specification sheet intimates)?

    You might, though, be able to keep using many of your apps in an older version that is compatible with ios 5.1.1.
    You might be able to use some older versions af apps. These links have information that can help you.

  • When will the first iPad Mini be outdated?

    I was just wondering when the iPad mini be outdated. Its a year old now so i was wondering does it only have another year left before you want update it anymore or download new apps.

    No one will know this, but Apple.
    Why worry about something that hasn't yet happened?
    No one knows what Apple has for future plans about anything.
    Even if in the near future Apple ends support for the first model iPad Mini, it will still have a few years of operational life as long as app developer's continue to support it.
    So, relax and enjoy your iPad.

    I have a First Gen IPad with IOS 4.3.2. It let's me manage my music and videos together in playlists.  Need a larger capacity IPAD, that allows me to manage playlists the same way. Need direction or help!
    Can't seem to find an IPAD that let's me control my playlists together...or let's me organize my videos (Karaoke) the way I want to.  Can someone help or direct me?
    Can't even find the old IPad for sale...I have a MB292LL with 4.3.2 (8H7)

    Here is a hint, google:
    ipad video playlists
    Found:
    This discusses some options.
    iOS 7 took away the ability to play videos continuously.
    Two stand-alone apps.
    https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/video-playlist-manager-lite/id399302583?mt=8
    https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/joobik-video-playlist-player/id502325425?mt=8
    There was a hint of relabeling your videos to music video so you can use the itunes video playlists.
    I have not tried this.
