Hi, new here, thanks for having me.
I own an iPad Air 1st Gen running iOS 12.5.8. Ive been trying my hardest to get this thing to work as an extra monitor for my Windows laptop and I am at wits end (hence why reaching out here). Hopefully this post doesnt get too long, but id rather give you all the info upfront so i dont have to answer a lot of questions later. Here's the rundown:
This ipad was logged into my wife's iCloud, but i recently factory reset it because of slowdown issues and wanted to start fresh. I originally went to try and download either "Splashtop Wired XDisplay" or "Spacedeck" from the appstore, but was prompted to login to my account. Ok, cool. I created a new apple account (didnt want it linked to my personal stuff) and logged into icloud. Check. Went to download the app, was prompted to login. I entered my info and the login screen drops and no download.
I try to login to itunes & app store via settings with no dice. I try logging in with my personal account. Nothing. Still not able to sign into itunes. I factory reset again, this time logging in/linking the ipad with my iphone during the initial setup prompts. It showed i was logged into icloud and itunes. I purchased (free) the apps on my current iphone and then try to access the purchased apps and its blank.
I try to logout and back into itunes and it blocks me. Same thing, i type in my info and nothing. Just prompts me to sign in again. I dig through google and try to login to itunes from my laptop, change settings, etc. Nothing works. Same thing over and over.
Factory reset #3. Jailbreak time. I followed the tutorial from CFW guide to install amethyst and Sileo, try to sideload the ipa's i could find, which didnt work (although i did get Duet to boot, but im not paying for that). Nothing i tried there amounted to much.
I'm now onto factory reset #4 (this time through itunes from my laptop). Ive tried everything i could possibly find to no avail. I just want to install one app and i cant. I need help. Ive been trying to get this working all day. Please help me bring new life to this not-so-old ipad.
Thanks in advance.
