Hello to any who could answer a question I have. I have an iPad 1 on 5.1.1 firm. Is there anyway to download earlier versions of apps that are compatible with my firm ware, for what its worth I would think that there would be a way after all the money I've spent haha. I was sure there was an older version of garage band that I was hoping to see or get amongst other things. Any help would be greatly appreciated thankx
iPad, iOS 5.1.1
I don't have an iPad 1 but I do have an iPhone on 5.1.1 and I am able to get most Apps from the App Store. A couple of months ago Apple did something nice and allow users with legacy iDevices to allow the last compatible version with your iOS. It will just say that you will get an older version of it. I downloaded Garageband when it became free awhile ago and it worked. That was 2 months or so ago.
Which app are you looking for to work on your ipad? As time goes by less apps support this iOS I would suggest going to the App Store and try downloading as many as you can before developers force you to have ios 7.

Thank you for the reply, this was a lot of help.
Sadly it looks like they disabled it again. I can't help but wonder why apple likes to shoot itself in the foot. I mean, I have a perfectly good working ipad 1 and iphone 3gs, but can't get apps for them because all the ones in the app store require higher operating systems, and there's no option to download an earlier version on their web pages. I've spent an hour now, googling where to find old versions of apps, but with no luck. C'mon, apple, if you're trying to get me to buy a new device from you, inferring that it will only work for a few years before you make it unusable isn't the way to do it.
