- Kluggy 3y agoThis is super annoying. I don't have iCloud stuff enabled on my old iPad, but it works just fine as a media streaming device for the kids. I want to enable Advanced Data Protection, but it won't let me until I replace the perfectly good iPad :(
- _rs 3y agoAny idea what happens if you sign out, enable it, and try to sign back in? Is the error as cryptic as I might imagine?
- Kluggy 3y agoIIRC, it's just a generic failure to log into iCloud
- rezonant 3y agoCouldn't you just make a dedicated account for that device? Wouldn't that be preferable anyway? You could still use family controls.
- ezfe 3y agoYou can remove that iPad from your account if you don't need iCloud for it
- Kluggy 3y agoWe do use it for TV+ shows like Snoopy in Space, so alas, I'm stuck with it being registered
- hnbear 3y agoUnregister your account, register a new iCloud and add it to your iCloud family. You can have 6 people in your family account. I have ADP on my devices but no one else in my family has it on and we’re all in the same iCloud family.
