Q: iPad, Apple ID, driving me crazy!
I am about to throw a (hardly used) iPad MD370NF/A out of the window!
This morning I updated it to OS 9.3.5. After that I found out there are two Apple IDs involved, one for iTunes and AppStore (the Apple ID I also use on 1 Mac Pro, 3 iMacs and 2 MacBooks) and one for iCloud (an old ID, which I had forgotten about).
This old ID refuses to be changed or removed. When I approach it from a Mac, the message is "... is not an Apple ID". The iPad asks for verification every 15 seconds!
I do not want to connect to any cloud! Can I disable this whole cloud business?
And changing the valid ID is not possible either, because Apple insists on a credit card. I have a perfectly normal (platinum) credit card, but that's not good enough for Apple. I live in Germany, but I happen to have a Dutch bank account + credit card number. According to Apple that is not possible....
Is there anything I can do to reset an invalid (even not existing) Apple ID?
All suggestions are welcome!
iPad (3rd gen) Wi-Fi + Cellular, iOS 9.3.5
