I have an inactive SIM card installed in an iPhone five (MD664LL/A) and its connected to my WiFi network. I want to use this as an iTouch basically, but cannot sign into iCloud on the phone with the same credentials that work to sign into iCloud on my Macbook Pro iCloud account. I don't see anyway on my Mac to generate a security code that can be sent to the iPhone 5 either.
Why can't I sign into iCloud on this phone being used as an iTouch essentially?
Hello brainstewn,
I see that you're unable to sign in to iCloud on one of your devices. I'd be happy to help out with this.
If you're using two-factor authentication with your Apple ID, and you're not receiving a verification code, take a look at the following article with some steps that will help.
Get a verification code and sign in with two-factor authentication
If this is not what is happening, respond back with some more details. Are you getting an error message when you try to sign in on the iPhone?
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a great day!
I'm not using two-factor as this is mostly being used for games and music by my minor son. I have the credentials correct and can sign into iCloud using the Macbook Pro but using the same credentials canNOT sign into icloud on the iPhone 5.
Hello brainstewn,
Thanks for getting back to us and providing those details. We want to do all we can to help. Can you tell us what happens when you try to sign in to iCloud? Are you getting an error message? If so, can you tell us what the message says?
We look forward to hearing back from you.
