This is a minor rant
I love verification codes. Always fun to be prevented from using features on very expensive devices because of unnecessary complications.
I thought I might read a book in iBooks - enter verification code.
No phone signal so no codes.
Apparently a code can be found using Settings on my iPhone. Tried that - enter verification code.
Tried the iCloud ID method - enter verification code.
So having walked all over the house trying to find enough signal to receive a code I looked up how to turn the wretched thing off. Go to iCloud account page, sign in - enter verification code.
Thanks for nothing Apple. So iBooks is now completely useless on my Home iMac as I will never be able to get a code fast enough to use it.
Not all of us live somewhere with a permanent 4G phone signal, nor Superfast Broadband for that matter
Maybe tomorrow in Warwick I will be able to turn off this useless device so the various features of these expensive toys become available to the person who paid for them
