MY iPad won't let me update to iOS 7 it says there is no update but when I try to get an app it say iOS 7 or later required but it won't let me install ios7 so what do I do please help me thank you
iPad, iOS 5.1.1
Identify your iPad model - Apple Support
If you have the iPad 1st Generation ( the iPad model that does NOT have a camera ) you can't update beyond iOS 5.1.1
If you have the first, original, 2010 1st generation iPad, it cannot support an IOS version any higher than IOS 5.1.1.
The hardware in the iPad 1 is NOT capable of supporting newer IOS versions.
Sorry.
The original iPad is nearing the 6 year mark (April 2016), it has not received any updates since 2012.
You may want to consider upgrading to a new or "newer" ( used ) iPad model.
To insure some future proofing, I would recommend looking for 1st Gen. iPad Air models or greater.
iPad 2 and 3 models are having some issues with the most current iOS versions now available.
And many current iOS features are not supported on iPad 2, 3 and 4 models, either.
Note that even if you could update to iOS 7 (which, as stated above, you cannot), you would be asking to update to software which is already two years old.
The current version of iOS is 9.1.
Why won't my iPad let me update to iOS 7 it say it's update and it's iOS 5.1.1 but won't let me download anything without ios 7
