help resolving two-step varification issue to get iphone4 (ios7.1.2) on iCloud
Hi all.
Im in desperate need of guidance.
I recently located my old iPhone4 (iOS 7.1.2). It has not been used in years but has tonnes of photos I need to rescue. However the move to two-FACTOR verification (not compatible with iOS 7) is causing massive problems. Every 3 seconds the iCloud password alert pops and blocks action and ability to do anything.
But the two-FACTOR security verification now in place prevents the device from resolving this iCloud error/access.
(Important note: I don’t have a PC or Mac available to plug into and rescue the photos direct so I need to rely on the iCloud).
So the challenge is...
I need to enable iCloud on the old device.
To do this I know that I need to try to get two-STEP verification working instead of two-FACTOR.
However, there seems to be no way to roll-back two-FACTOR (i also have a few newer Apple products).
The only information I found on this said that I could use a “link” in my “enrolment email” to request a 2 week window where Apple would temporarily roll-back two-FACTOR verification that would then allow me to get the iPhone4 on the iCloud and save the photos.
However, I don’t have any enrolment email as this would’ve been sent to me years ago and can’t be located (if kept).
The bottom line Question:
Is it possible to get an iOS 7 iphone4 on iCloud without rolling back two-FACTOR verification?
Any and all help very much appreciated
