Q: Approve iPhone for iCloud
Hi Guys,
I just updated my iPhone 6S Plus to iOS 10. 2 factor authentication seemed like a good idea (I use it for other services already, and I have an iPod handy, that's already signed into the same apple ID), so I proceeded with it. Now I'm stuck on an "Approve This iPhone" screen in order to set up iCloud.
I know the message is supposed to pop up on the iPod, and it has in the past (when I first reformatted the iPod to use the same Apple ID, and later when I got a replacement iPhone, and had to authenticate it using the iPod).
For some reason, the message is not coming up on the iPod. What's funny is, registering here, a message popped up on my phone (while ON the approval screen!) asking me to authenticate my computer.
Is there any way to force the code on the iPod? Or am I basically screwed from ever syncing my phone with iCloud?
Thanks!
iPhone 6s Plus, iOS 10.0.2
