Install ios7 on ipad 1

Update when it came out and I have not had any major issues other than the iCloud backup problem that others are experiencing. It seems to work better than ios8 for the most part, other than iCloud issue which actually seems to be an issue in their servers.Original mini here. #19 Sounds like mine will stay on iOS7... #20 Sounds like mine will stay on iOS7... Don't know why, what's your reasoning? All the Original mini's I've seen in person run 8 and 9 fine. If it seems sluggish there are things you can do to speed it up (turn off unneeded animations and such). With 7 there are security holes that will never get patched, and there may be software that you will not be able to use/update. #21 iOS 9 runs great on my iPad mini 1. Not so great on my iPhone 6 though which is weird. You'd think it would be faster on newer hardware, but what do I know?? #22 The thing is, on iOS7, it's super smooth and fast, I don't quite want to lose that.I don't know anyone who owns one, to see for myself what iOS9 is like. #23 As usual my advice for old devices is the same: if you are worried about performance, keep iOS 7.1 as the latest acceptable.Otherwise install iOS 9 and disable effects: you are going to obtain acceptable performance

Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question. How do you install ios 7 on ipad2 with 4.3 and keep 45 installed programs? I am old windows end DOS user. Never had a successful Win upgrade. So, how do you install 7 on yo iPad 2 with ios4.3. I literally have 45 apps installed, some business mission critical. I know this May be like Unix, but if you upload everything yo cloud or server, install 7, 1st I go to ITunes, right? Then, does installer reformat ipad2? Then, I all saved programs (how to know what not to backup? are brought back flown, all thee issues like registry Giles, initial or dolls. I simply font know apple. I can't begin to think of loosing my music, emails, all programs.. The 61 yr old Windows guy needs your help please. If I have to redown load everything, I'll stay with 4.3. This version did not have incremental install. Also this is Verizon WiFi 64 gb make any difference? iPad 2, iOS 4.3.3, Filled with apps Posted on Nov 23, 2013 7:18 PM Posted on Nov 23, 2013 7:23 PM Since you have 4.3 on your iPad you had to set it up with a computer. So you update the iTunes on that computer to iTunes 11. Then you connect your iPad and do a full sync and backup. Then you download the iOS7 update and let iTunes do its thing.When you download via iTunes (which is your only option) it downloads the whole operating system.iTunes will download and install the operating system, then it will restore your apps and data from the backup you just made so your new one will be a near clone of how it is now.You may need to update your apps after you update the operating system since some may/may not be reverse compatible back to iOS 4.3 How do you install ios 7 on ipad2 with 4.3 and keep 45 installed programs?

An update to fix.Issues:Home screen rotations issues (Working at the moment after a reboot)No instant hotspot with my iPhoneAnyways, thats my input at the moment #8 My iPad Mini 1st gen stayed on iOS7 after the first reports from early adopters. I was hoping iOS9 would be better but it looks like it's still not a great OS for that "old" machine. Will wait some more days... or keep it at OS7. #9 Is the final release of iOS 9 any better on the mini 1?Anyone upgrade? I just did - iPad Mini download/installation quite slow compared to iPhone 5s which I did once iPad was completed.No issues at all on either device.iPad Mini is 1st gen.Too soon to say categorically that iOS9 is an improvement - but a cursory inspection leads me to think it is!YMMV #10 I updated mine from 8, besides taking forever to download and update, it seems better on 9. Safari seems faster with less keyboard/typing lag which was horrible for me on 8, making it borderline useless before. #11 I updated mine from 8, besides taking forever to download and update, it seems better on 9. Safari seems faster with less keyboard/typing lag which was horrible for me on 8, making it borderline useless before. Yep, same here. iOS 9 is the best update for older devices. Makes them usable again for another year before final retirement. #12 So should I update my iPad mini first gen? #14 In iPad 2 i just have one problem.Safari is always crashing and refreshing pages. #15 On our family iPad mini 1, there is some lag, but after turning off the animations, it seems to be fine. Will be holding out on future upgrades before installing them. Even though its not too bad, I'm still wondering if it's possible to downgrade to 8.4.1... #16 On our family iPad mini 1, there is some lag, but after turning off the animations, it seems to be fine.

Do it now before Apple closes the revert window. Went down from 9.1 beta to 8.4.1 on my mini 1, and 8.4.1 is so much better in comparison. #17 Still no issues on my wife's original mini. Working great and peppy! #18 Did the ios9
