10 year old iPad is now pretty worthless

Because my iPad is so old, I cannot update it anymore. As a consequence, I cannot download any of my old applications! I keep getting asked for my password, over, and over, and over again. I type it in, but all I receive is a message that it cannot be updated anymore. So I have lost all my applications. Is there any way to restore these so I can continue my previously purchased/downloaded apps???

you are SOL. I have a similar problem - the older iOS uses a different authentication method so you will get stuck in an endless loop of pizza
