Can't really be a relation as had no backups whatsoever ;-)
Apple shop said it is too old to fix - they don't have spares.

If it were a PC, etc, I'd just remove the HD or SSD, stick it in a caddy,
and read it with another PC. But haven't a clue about ianythings.

It's going to be sent here so I can look at it - but would be nice to hear
from anyone who knows these things well.


Should have mentioned that an iPad 2 will be painfully slow to use now
though and is overdue for replacement.

Why would it be slower than when it was bought?

Surely apple would do the same as M$ do with win10 and make each release
of the OS a bit more responsive as well as adding features?

Maybe its just the apps that are getting bloated?
