What happens if you cannot update the device to...

Hi

I want to set up my iPad mini 1. My iclold / itunes backups are from my iphone 5. My iphone 5 runs iOS 10.3.2.

My Ipad mini can be maximum upgraded to 9.3.5, which it is. I cannot install the iOS 10.3.2 on it. This is a limitation from Apple.

When I try to chose the backup, it says "No iCloud backups compatible with ther version of iOS 9.3.5 of this ipad.

My iPhone 5 died which is why I am switching over to the ipad mini.

I cannot buy a new device, I have no money!

Is there a way to convert the backup so I can restore my apps to my ipad mini????

Thank you

Jess

Are you trying to backup the iPad, or restore the phone's backup onto the iPad ? If the latter then you won't be able to do so, you cannot restore a backup from a device that's on a higher version of iOS, and those backups cannot be 'converted'.

That kinda *****.

Yes, it kinda does sock.

But data backups are based on up to date software, unfortunately.

It's the way it is on a regular computer, too, not just for mobile iOS iDevices.

You cannot restore a newer OS backup to another computer running an older OS, either.

If you backed up your iPhone 5 regularly using a computer and iTunes. if you had an iPhone 5 backup from over a year ago, that was prior to an iOS 10 upgrade, you may have been able to restore that backup to your iPad Mini.

It would have been a year old backup, but maybe it would have been better than nothing at all.

The iPad 2, 3 and 1st generation iPad Mini are all ineligible and excluded from upgrading to iOS 10.

They all share similar hardware architectures and a less powerful 1.0 Ghz CPU that Apple has deemed insufficiently powerful enough to even run the basic, barebones features of iOS 10.

Older iPad users get none of the newest and coolest cutting edge features that newer model iDevices, with better hardware specs, can handle with more aplomb.

FYI,

Just because your 1st gen iPad Mini is no longer able to upgrade to the latest iOS doesn't mean your 1st gen iPad Mini is suddenly useless.

So, your options are really keep using your 1st gen iPad Mini or purchase a new iPad if you feel you need or want to.

Your current 1st gen iPad Mini will still work and continue to receive app updates until sometime this Fall 2017, when, with the introduction of iOS 11,  ALL support for older 32 bit iDevices and any iOS 32 bit apps will come to a final end.

Your 1st gen iPad Mini will still work and function as it always has, but will no longer receive any more app updates after the Fall of 2017.

The 1st gen iPad Mini has had 4-5 years of iOS upgrades/updates

The final app updates your 1st gen iPad Mini will receive will be its last!

This is why Apple introduced the new, lower cost 2017 iPad 5 model, in April

Apple is trying to get older iPad 2, 3, 4 and 1st gen Mini iPad users to upgrade to more modern iPad hardware in anticipation of iOS 11, which will render all older 32 bit iDevices obsolete.

You might want to consider saving up some cash for one.

Good Luck to You!

I realize that the issues I have been having with my IPad 2 are all due to its age and incompatibility #doesnotplaywellwithothers

We have had a great run these many years...so where does he go now, if I move on To the iPad5?
