Why can't I update my 1st generation ipad past iOS version 5.1.1?

No it does not. New apps do not work.... but they used to when they were new.

So, download the appropriate version f the App for your version of iOS.

Funny as you joined the thread.... I didn't join yours.... who can't be reasoned with? Everyone understands that technology advances. When you spend the money we do for these devices and after 5 years they are basically junk because the company isn't continuing to support it and has moved on so you have to buy a new device to keep up, that's what is disgusting. You must work for apple. As for downloading the version of the app that works, loads of them don't have versions that work even though they give you the option to download a lower version..... but when you do, the app doesn't work and sends you back to download the appropriate version... just a vicious cycle.

You replied to me ... not I to you. No argument here... nothing to argue about. But maybe you should get a life?

Please stop the drama, you are just presenting yourself as a petulant, spoiled child.

That iPad was introduced in January of 2010 and discontinued in March of 2011. That's between 3-1/2 and 4-1/2 years old. I don't know how you get one year's use out of those figures!

but you seem to have to have the last word? Who's the child?

That sounds quite a bit like the children's taunt "I know you are but what am i?"

Some people have a "love-hate relationship" with technology and the devices they use ... LOL ...
