Either the Operating System (IOS) on the tablet or the tablet hardware itself is too old to run the app(s). Check for and install an IOS update and try again. If the hardware (tablet) is too old, you'll have to replace it to install the app(s).

How can I open facebook

Facebook on old iPads with iOS 5.1.1:
It is possible, a bit tricky, but possible. First, you'll need to download the Facebook app through iTunes on your computer, this will make it show up as "purchased" in your library.
After that, open up the App Store on your iPhone and go to the 'purchased' tab. When you try to install it this way it will tell you that you need iOS 6 or higher, but will also ask if you would like to download an older version of the app. then click on download.
- again step by step:
1) Open up iTunes on your computer
2) Go to Store (left hand column) ->iTunes Store
3) Search for Facebook; - download the app
4) then open App Store on your iPhone
5) Click on 'Purchased'
- you will have to install Facebook by clicking on it as usual.
App Store will ask you: "Download an older version of this app. The current version requires iOS 6.0 or later, but you can download the last compatible version.",
- then click on Download and it should finally work.

Download ios

iOS is not an app - it is the running system of an iPad and is to be dowloaded from Apple:

- the download depends on the model of your iPad:
For the iPad first generation (A1219) to update is only possible with connecting the device to iTunes on a computer.
- but this model supports only iOS 5
- NO iOS 6/7/8
-------------------
for all other models:
There are two ways to upgrade the iOS version of your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch - via connecting the device to iTunes on a computer
- or directly from within the device, but only snce iOS 5, it is possible to upgrade the iOS version without the need to connect the iOS device to a computer (over-the-air update)
just go to: settings - general - software update

I have a polaroid android tablet. it one day just started to not work anymore.

Just a thought, however, it might be that it automatically upgraded your Android operating system and now the apps are not compatible. Try deleting one of the apps and re-installing it. Hope this helps you - Learning Thermostat
