iPhone Data Recovery

[cmailliard]

I was having other issues with two factor authentication at the same time. Her phone was the one listed as a trusted device, so we could not get on iCloud.com or set up an iPad for messaging and FaceTime (Her best friend moved to Texas this morning so yesterday and they use Messages and FT a lot). But anyway, we were letting her use an old iPad a while ago (like 2nd gen), we pulled that out charged it up and the Two Factor Authentication came to that iPad. Got that done, got on iCloud.com and all her pics were there. I guess we set up iCloud backup for her, probably anticipating this happening.

Thanks for help and glad I did not need to go down a bad path.

Nice, I freakin' love iCloud for all that. I pay for more storage, and set up mom's stuff to back up there too.
