Is it possible to have more RAM installed Orig. ipad?

[Nathanr411]

Well, My #1 app I use a lot is amp kit. (guitar amplifiers that I can plug my guitar into and play) and on the gaming side "Air supremacy" but what's crazy is these apps don't crash as much as simpler apps for example Facebook or twitter. The WORST offender believe it or not is the actual "App store" App.... Dude!!! ALL THE TIME MAN!!
Another question has arrived and since you guys have been probably the most helpful and "POLITE" people I've ever spoken with compared to the other forum sites I'm signed up to... (people can be such Moderator edit...removed profanity. Please read the forum rules. ) ...I was hoping you guys might give me some info on the subject of the iOS update? Some apps I've wanted says I must update to ios 6 but in settings and in iTunes it always tells me I'm currently updated to latest. iOS 5.1.1 Does my common sense serve me correctly when I say it's because it's the original iPad and further iOS update will no longer apply? Thank you all in advanced for your time and help... Cheers!

You're correct about the iPad 1 not being updatable past iOS 5.1.1. This means that apps requiring iOS 6 and above will not work on the iPad 1.

Thanks a lot Man! So, I guess one day this iPad will turn to a giant paper weight... Oh well, I might as well just buy the newest iPad

Not necessarily. There are a few people on here that still use the iPad 1 with no problems.

Closing apps is the first step to clearing ram but you can also limit Location Services for apps you are not using. Another step is clearing your History and Cookies and Data in Safari.....little bits of ram can be stored here also and do add up over time. Settings - Safari - Clear History and Clear Cookies and Data. Once done a reset will help it all settle in nicely.

Hold the power off button and the home button simultaneously, keep holding them in and you will see the power off slide appear and disappear, wait until you see the Apple logo appear before releasing the buttons. It will take a little longer for your iPad to start.

Hope it makes a difference for you.

Given enough time even the iPad 4 will be a paper weight. I'd stay away from updates that do not address a real issue or are meant for iOS 6 compatibility, just because it's an update doesn't mean it's an upgrade.

I'm now using my ipad as a third screen in my project music studio. Thank you so very much! I would have never known of this if it weren't for this article! 👍
