For older apps that may still have an older iOS version available, the lowest compatible iOS version of an app is iOS 4.2.1. Not every app you attempt to download, to iTunes or from the iOS App Store on your old iPad, will have an iOS 5.1.1 compatible version. Popular third party compatible Web browsers are more quickly dwindling, now. If you use iTunes on a computer, there maybe some third party iOS web browsers that may still have older versions for iOS 5.1.1. Some third party web browser developers supported their web browser on iOS 5.1.1 for a long time and are more up to date than the iOS 5.1.1 version of the Safari Web Browser. If you are successful in getting apps on this iPad, consider looking for more “up to date”, third party iOS web browsers for that version of iOS. Tap the OK button just below the prompt to start the downloading of the older app version to your iPad.
#IPAD VERSIONS 5 DOWNLOAD#
Would you like to download this version now. Then, back on your iPad, you can try to download the latest app from the iOS App Store and if the developer/s has/have left an older, compatible version of their app/s on Apple's app servers, then you will receive a small window pop-up prompt that states that there is an older version of the app that is compatible with your device. You will need to use an older iTunes version and once it is downloaded and installed on your computer, at launch, hold down the Opt/Alt key on your keyboard while launching this older iTunee version, so you can create a new Tunes library.īEFORE DOING the IMMEDIATELY ABOVE, if you use iTunes on a computer and already have an iTunes Library, you will need to find the iTunes Library folder on your computer and, temporarily, move/copy this folder to another location so you do not accidentally write over your existing current iTunes library. If you have already downloaded the recent 12.7.x version of iTunes, NONE of what I have wriiten here in this post reply may work! If you have a computer, but NO iTunes on it, here is a link to the older 12.6.3 version for download found in this Apple weblink.ĭO NOT download OR USE the latest version of iTunes (version 12.7.x) as there is no more support for saving apps in iTunes under the most recent versions. IF you own a computer with an older version of iTunes already on it, try using that version as an old 2010, iPad 1 does not need the latest iTunes version. If you need apps for that iPad, if you have a computer with an older version of iTunes (version 12.6.4 or earlier ), you can try downloading the recent app/s, by accessing the iOS App Store, through iTunes, and then, download the recent version of the app/s you like to use on your iPad, to iTunes on your computer, FIRST.
