Is there anyway at all to update an iPad 1 to latest OS
Is this possible at all?
Been given one and its on 5.1.1
I was going to give it to my boy but cbeebies app and others require iOS 7
Seems not but I thought I would ask, seems a shame to make it redundant..
Many thanks

Nope - 5.1.1 is the highest you will get on an iPad 1 I'm afraid. Good ole Apple do this to make old hardware redundant.

Might be worth checking out Grayd00r.

It's not so much the speed, its getting it to run the apps for the boy..he keeps hogging the girlfriends iPad..it's only cbeebies, that kind of thing..I will look into grayd00r tonight.

Ah - that may be an issue. A lot of apps now have a minimum iOS requirement - is this what's causing the problem?
Re: Is there anyway at all to update an iPad 1 to latest OS
Yep..it's the cbeebies stuff he likes playing and there isn't an older version of it as far as I know. I might still keep it though, ideal for camping etc..

Yeah I'm guessing the CBeebies app was a recent one so no "old" builds will exist. You could try spoofing the iOS version to get it installed. Not sure if it would work but there are tutorials on spoofing the iOS version like this : http://www.idownloadblog.com/2009/10...hone-firmware/
Seems it's hit and miss if it will work for apps that need higher iOS though. Not sure I'd try it. Might be worth just picking up a cheap Android tablet ;)

Cheers, he has one but the battery life sucks..he also seems to really like the Apple kit..lol.. I will prob have to give up on this one cause hardly anything new will work on it..Shame really

I know the feeling. I have a 3G iPad (With a cracked screen), an iPad Mini and my 3 yr old loves watching videos with dolls in on them. So I bought her a Hudl 2 in pink with a pink rubber case thinking this would get her off them but no.... Give her the Hudl and she screams "ipad ipad! I want the iPad!!" lmao. She knows!
