madbakerThe company took advantage of AT&T wanting to clear out their old Apple inventory. We got "free" upgrades to the penultimate model. That's fine; I wouldn't have cared, but why not.
Because we got several, they also threw in a new tablet, which my boss gave to me as he already has one. I upgraded to the previous model a couple years ago, but again why not - and because I bought the previous one, I can give it to the wife. Score!
...Except that the setup process is broken. My last upgrade was painless: I synced the old tablet to the new one, and was done in about five-ten minutes. This one... not so much. Setup has been a bit of a pain as the camera scan hasn't worked; I manually logged in and transferred settings from a backup. Not a huge pain, but not painless either. But then - the new tablet refuses to go any further without upgrading to the new OS. And that's where it bricks. I've wiped and restarted several times to no avail.
I might have to brave the Apple store for help. Last time I did that though, they acted like a nightclub where I wasn't cool enough to enter.
