I have an older IPad and the message I'm getting is "There are no backups that are compatable..." Is there a way to bypass the backup process so I can use it again?

I have an older 32GB IPad and the message I'm getting is "There are no backups that are compatable with this version of iOS 9.3.6" Is there a way to bypass the backup process so I can use it again?

Yes, don't choose to restore a backup. Set it up as new.


Whatv exactly are you doing when you get that message? You should be able to simply not restore a backup.
