Yep. I have an iPad 1 and its updated. Works fine. You might have a to nod apps open too and it's overloading the processor. Double click the circle button on the front and this will show all the apps you have open in a list at the bottom of he screen. Then tap and hold on one of the app icons. They should wiggle and give you an 'x' on the icons to close the ones you are not using. Close everything you are not using and it will free up the processor.
