Thank you this solved my problem too, which the Verizon store could not even try to help me with and referred me to call Apples 1-800 #, and although the lady was super helpful she said she would call me back after looking at articles on the issue and in 2 seconds I googled the problem and came across your post, tried it and PROBLEM SOLVED!! thank you!!
