    iPad How to install legacy iOS versions on an OG iPad (and which is best)?

    I’ve recently re-acquired my original iPad. It’s running iOS 5 which I seem to recall slowed it down a little at the time. There’s a thread here from years ago suggesting 4.3.3 was the last fast one for the OG model. Do people still agree with that? I’m somewhat inclined to go for the OS it...

    AirPods can work on an iPad 1

    It is possible to pair AirPods with an iPad Generation 1. It even outputs sound, although it cannot automatically turn off, and you cannot change any of the AirPod’s settings (without using a newer device that should support AirPods). Cool. :cool:

    iPad iPad 1st gen. Audio issue

    Hi, I recently bought an old iPad 1 for my Apple collection. The seller described to me, that when you power it on, iOS freezes. Well that wasn't really true, the system didn't freeze, it was just very laggy. So laggy in fact, that if you interacted with it right after powering the device on, it...

    iPad 1: Restore Jailbroken 3.2.1 to stock 3.2.1

    Hi guys, today I received a 1st gen iPad Wi-Fi running 3.2.1 (jailbroken). I had the bad idea to reset settings and content and now obviously it is stuck on the Apple logo. I know that I can simply restore it from iTunes, but in that case I can only restore it to 5.1.1, correct? It still runs...

    Can't factory reset iPad 1432

    I recently got a free iPad Mini at a garage sale giveaway. But lo and behold it was a "lost" device from Winona State U. I contacted their tech support and they said, Just keep it; the student has already paid for losing it. So I install ITunes on my Win10 and go through the factory reset...

    I've got my 1st and 2nd generation iPad that I'm looking to sell. They're in pretty good condition and work great. So where can I get the most money for them?

    Best Browser for iPad 1?

    OK, I don't have my iPad 1 yet, but I should have it in a few days. I assume that iOS 5 Safari is out of date, so are there any alternatives on the App Store that work with iOS 5? I know that browsing won't be fast by any means, but a browser that at least displays most sites properly is good...

    Downgrade iPad 1 to iOS 3.2?

    OK, I don't have an iPad 1, but is there an easy way to downgrade an iPad 1 to iOS 3.2 (which was its original OS)? Or any other version of 3.2 (3.2.1, 3.2.2, etc.)? I have found many guides to this, but many were from 2010 and I assume the information is out-of-date.
