Yes, i can connect to the internet. I know it’s not listed because i can see my devices in the new photo.


i have managed to reset my apple password and that has let me in to the old device, that has enabled me to fully reset it. Looks like it was a temporary issue with my password update but now resolved. Thanks for looking at this for me
