I found my 7th gen iPod Touch running 15.8.2. This device is no longer supported by Apple so I can’t Sign in with Apple ID to do anything useful. Any ideas of how I can save this device from becoming e-waste? I was trying to add Delta emulator to use it for roms but no luck.
Any ideas/suggestions?? 🤷🏼♀️
Try turning off Advanced Data Protection for iCloud on a new device: https://support.apple.com/en-us/108756
Instead of reducing your iCloud security across all your devices and services which is a bad idea, I might recommend opening a second free iCloud account just for use with the iPod.
What happens when you try to sign in?
Message: your Apple ID can only be used on devices running iOS 16.2 or later. This iPod can’t be updated to the latest software.
What happens when you connect it to a PC/Mac and open the corresponding Apple Devices management app?
EDIT: That means you have turned on Advanced Data Protection on another device with the same Apple ID
Weird, this page says the minimum for the Touch is iOS 15 https://support.apple.com/en-us/118308
I’m able to sign in and use mine???
Yeah, but what iOS version?
