How can I get Siri on my iPhone 4 version 7.1.2 without Jailbreak?
You can't. Well not traditionally. Siri works only on iPhone 4S and above and the only way to get it on an iPhone 4 is to jailbreak. But unfortunately for you iOS 7.1.x hasn't been jailbroken, and never will be, since everyone is focused on jailbreaking the iOS 9 beta and stabilizing the iOS 8.4.x jailbreak. Its a 2+ year old software after all.EDIT: Pangu has jailbroken iOS 7.1.2. You can find it by visiting this link: Pangu Jailbreak Tool(Pangu.io). However, the OP wants Siri without Jailbreaking, which as I mentioned, isn't possible on the iPhone 4. Thanks to Water Boss for the info!So why did I put traditionally in my answer above? Well you could always download an app like Siri. I know it won't be the same, but that's what you get for sticking with a 4+ year old device (hey, I'm not judging! I myself use a first gen iPad mini). Anyway, you have 2 really great options-Download Dragon Go!, a Siri like app by Nuance Technologies- the software company which powers Siri's voice recognition. Unfortunately the app hasn't been updated since 2012, mainly because Siri came out and Nuance probably signed some kind of deal with Apple to stop working on Dragon Go! because it competed with Siri (and also because it was pointless to waste resources on it). Also it has iOS 6's UIDownload Google. The official Google app is not only good for... well Googling, but also includes Google Voice Search- which has a few tricks up its sleeve. It can create reminders for you, search for places to eat, give you movie reviews, translate text on the fly, give you weather info. And surprise - it works on iOS 7 and above! Just don't ask it to call someone or fiddle with system settings like turning on Do Not Disturb. Here's my takeaway- use Dragon Go! if you have an American accent and want better Voice Recognition, or use Google if you want more features with a better UI.PS- If you are a little bit tech oriented you might be thinking of downgrading. Don't. Just don't. It's insanely hard, complicated as hell, dangerous. And also why? Just why?Hit me up on PM if you want any more help.

How can I install an older version of GarageBand on my iPad 2, which maxes out on iOS 9? The App Store requires iOS 10 every time I try.
It might work to download it the app from the “Purchased” tab. Locate the app (there is a search box for searching for purchased apps), and attempt to download it. If there it is an older version, it will ask if you want to download it.This support article explains the process in more detail:https://support.apple.com/en-us/...
How do I upgrade my iPad 1 iOS 5.1.1 without jailbreak with a computer?
You cannot update the first-gen iPad past iOS 5.1.1.This is a decision Apple made, likely due to a determination that the first iPad’s hardware couldn’t effectively run newer versions of the OS.Apple does this. Their software has changed a great deal since the first iPad was released in 2010. iPads today can do substantially more than than early models. The internals of the first generation iPad were made to work well with the current version of iOS at that time. Today’s iOS releases have hardware requirements that simply cannot be met by older devices. If there were a way to port a recent version of iOS to the first iPad, it likely wouldn’t even boot.It’s the same concept as trying to install Windows 10 (or even likely 7 or Vista) on a machine that was designed for and previously ran Windows 95 for its whole life. The hardware in that machine just wouldn’t be sufficient to run the OS without replacing many, if not all, of the internals. Windows, as an example, publishes minimum system specifications necessary to run an an OS.Apple doesn’t do this for mobile devices mainly because they build all of their own products, so they can just say which of those devices don’t meet such specs. You can’t change components in an iPad. It either has the specs to run a new OS update or it doesn’t. If it doesn’t, and you want to run a newer iOS than 5.x, you would need to buy a newer iPad.
Would an iPad mini 1 perform better on iOS 9.3.4 or iOS 10.3.1?
It will perform much better on iOS9.3.5 without any doubt (or better iOS8). Its A5 CPU and only 512MB of RAM are very limiting factors to consider. I would not recommend you the upgrade to iOS10 at all (if you could, which is not the case). I also don’t recommend anyone to upgrade to iOS10 anyone with an iPad/iPhone with RAM below 2GB. iOS10 was (and is) optimized for devices with at least 2GB of RAM.Of course, iOS can work with 1GB of RAM, but the user will notice delays and lags which destroys the typical wonderful Apple UX smooth expected experience when you buy a just released iPad with its original launching iOS version.In any case, the highest iOS version supported by iPAD Mini 1st Gen is iOS9.3.5, so you cannot upgrade it to iOS10.
What will be the benefits if I jailbreak my iPad 2?
In a literal sense, it will open the door of unknown and awesomeness for your iPad.For starters, you can change your fonts, notification icons, notification colours, app logo, install customized and improved apps like WhatsApp++, Youtube++ etc.From customizing your iPad's look to changing certain app behaviours, you can do anything. You’ll have an option to choose from many themes like what you get on an Android tab. You can easily install third-party apps. You can completely change the look and feel of the iPad. You can play around with the actual power of the processor installed with certain tweaks which use taptic engine and feedback.You can play around with notification centre and control centres, you can add or remove options from them etc.I mean the possibilities are limitless. It just depends on your need, you need something and generally, the tweaks are already there for it. You won’t curse Apple again for not allowing easy downloads like pics, videos, music etc.Check this link for complete list of tweaks compatible on iOS 10 and 11 and with the descriptions which will help you in knowing that what you can do on your jailbroken iPad :iOS 10 CompatibilityHope this helps :)
Will I update an iPhone if I restore it in order to jailbreak it?
This is why I think Quora questions should have a timestamp. The question seems old: iOS 5.1.1 was released in 2012 and the two devices that are “stuck” on iOS 5.1.1 are the iPod touch 3G (2009-2010) and the iPad 1G (2010-2011). However the one other answer here is fresh, within the day of May 10th, 2015.Anyway, for the sake of future questioners stumbling upon this question:There are two ways to restore: 1) You can click restore in iTunes and let iTunes find the latest firmware to download and install. It will always find the latest one available for your device and iTunes should tell you what it is upgrading to; I don’t know why the asker is unsure about which version is getting installed - iTunes would have mentioned it. In any case, you can check ipsw.me to find out what the latest version of firmware available for your device is.2) You can manually download your desired firmware (also called an ipsw file) from sites like http://ipsw.me and in iTunes hold Shift (Windows) or Option (OS X) while clicking on “restore”. The latter method will allow you to select the firmware to restore to. And here is where there is uncertainty.A firmware can only be installed on an iOS device if it’s being signed by Apple. Restoring an iOS device involves iTunes verifying with Apple and asking for a (digital) signature on the firmware to be installed. If Apple is still signing the firmware, you can restore to it (note that sometimes Apple signs more than one firmware at one time - iOS 8.2 and iOS 8.3 were both signed simultaneously for a month before Apple stopped signing 8.2), so there might be a chance you get to restore to a firmware that’s not the latest. There used to be a time when we could circumvent the signing and restore/downgrade to an unsigned firmware, but those days are gone. You can’t put a firmware on your device that is no longer being signed by Apple.For security’s sake, it’s advisable to install the latest firmware as Apple may have fixed bugs or holes in the software. For jailbreak’s sake, that’s a different story. Keep an eye on ipsw.me to check which firmwares are jailbreakable and still being signed.
How do update iOS 5.1.1 to iOS 9 on an iPad?
There are couple of things that you need to know before updating your iOS device to certain firmware.First: If your device supports the newer version. For example, if you got an iPad 1, there are chances you won’t able to update it to latest firmware version.Second: If the certain iOS firmware is still available to install and Apple is still signing the firmware for your device.Once you are done with these, you can continue with updating/restoring your device to latest firmware.There are three ways to update your device to latest firmware.Automated iTunes Update/Restore MethodManual iTunes Update/Restore MethodOTA UpdateAutomated iTunes Method:In this method, all you need to do is connect your device with Computer and run iTunes to automatically get the latest update for your device. If iTunes fails to get the update automatically, you can manually press the Update button. It will fetch the update and install on your device. (It takes time in downloading firmware file).Manual IPSW Restore/Update Method:You will have to download IPSW file for your device. You can use services like Download iOS Firmware for iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, Apple Watch and Apple TV. to get the specific IPSW file for your device.Once you have the firmware file, you can now use iTunes to restore/update your device. Just connect your device, and go to Device Information. Press and Hold (Shift/Options) button and click on Restore to select the downloaded firmware.It will begin installing the latest firmware on your device.OTA Update:The other method to update your device is to Go to Settings -> General -> Software Update. There you will get the latest iOS firmware for your device. If there is an update, you can simply download and install it on your device without using Computer and iTunes.
White screen on Installous 5. Trying to download apps?
Ok guys this will HOPEFULLY HELP YOU this is my FIRST POST so hopefully I will be of some help!! *****THANKS TO SHAMBOLIC for the help dude ***** Ok, I dont own an iPhone anymore, long story, so when I got the iPad3 of course, I wanna jailbreak it!! So... JB done, Cydia installed, now to install the good stuff Shocked when Installous failed to show me any download links, worked flawlessly on my iPhone 4S so very unhappy Google search reveals loads having the same problem, no fixes as such (hopefully this will be resolved soon but come on guys the people are busy and its all free remember) So.... how to fix it if the other methods dont work??? Remember, this worked for ME and a couple of others I know, this DOESNT ADDRESS the original problem, its more of a work around, the blank page will still show up, but more on that in a moment Now, firstly, you need to install two programs, but first ADD this source in CYDIA http://repo.insanelyi.com once added, do a search and install the two following items "Backulous" and "Appstorelous3" Backulous will ADD two buttons to the top of the box that appears when you select a download link, one refreshes the page, one stops the page loading Appstorelous3 will make it easier to download through APPSTORE and INSTALLOUS THIS IS THE IMPORTANT BIT!!! After these two are added, reboot your device go to installous, and then find a file to download, then when find one, it SHOULD give you the option to open the links with INSTALLOUS or APPSTORELOUS do NOT use INSTALLOUS as you will STILL get a blank screen, use Appstorelous to handle the download links and they should be in GREEN, once you choose that option you will get the Captcha page come up straight away HOPEFULLY SUCCESS!!! Now, this WORKS on my iPad 3 running 5.1.1 I cannot say for sure on other iDevices, but hey, what have you got to lose trying? How about trying, leaving some feedback in here, hopefully we can get you all running again Best wishes to you all
