iPod Touch question (midwest.social)

submitted 4 months ago by [email protected] to c/apple_enthusiast

8 comments fedilink hide all child comments

I found my 7th gen iPod Touch running 15.8.2. This device is no longer supported by Apple so I can’t Sign in with Apple ID to do anything useful. Any ideas of how I can save this device from becoming e-waste? I was trying to add Delta emulator to use it for roms but no luck.

Any ideas/suggestions?? 🤷🏼‍♀️

Try turning off Advanced Data Protection for iCloud on a new device: https://support.apple.com/en-us/108756

Instead of reducing your iCloud security across all your devices and services which is a bad idea, I might recommend opening a second free iCloud account just for use with the iPod.

Message: your Apple ID can only be used on devices running iOS 16.2 or later. This iPod can’t be updated to the latest software.

Weird, this page says the minimum for the Touch is iOS 15 https://support.apple.com/en-us/118308

What happens when you connect it to a PC/Mac and open the corresponding Apple Devices management app?

EDIT: That means you have turned on Advanced Data Protection on another device with the same Apple ID
