Apple Tech advantage over PC’s and ANDROID devices is its low maintenance and stability. This Blog shows fixed1t 'Worked and Tested Solutions’ to real Mac, iPad, iPhone and iPod issues, I identified and the things I did to fix or workaround them. My #fixed1t Youtube videos are deliberately slow paced to people to follow them. I hope you find them useful. Please leave comments and consider subscribing to my fixed1t YouTube site.

This video is about iTUNES 12.7 BANDAI TECH-PET iPhone APP Download Problem
If you've upgrade your iTunes to 12.7 you need to watch this to get the background issue and Part 2 to understand the fix.

Apple Developers of iTUNES 12.7, have done away with the really useful iPAD, iPhone and iPod APP's management Pages.
Although This Appeared To Be A Minor Inconvenience, My Recent Purchase of a really cool 2013 Classic "BONDAI Dog TechPet" from JAPAN has Identified Some Serious Failings With iTunes 12.7
Although this problem came about with the BANDAI TechPet APP it is not specific to the APP and applies to any APP registered only on a single countries APP Site. In this case it was an APP on the Apple Japan site.
I purchased an iPad Mini with 4g GSM with an intermittent fault that switched it constantly from WiFi to 3G GSM making it unusable. Last week WiFi greyed out and died.
Part 4 - Reducing equipment required connect an iPad
as a standalone device on LAN Ethernet network
Part 5 - To Be Researched And Tested
Here is the Equipment I Used
You can buy one of these using the links below:
1) The amazing USB 3 3-port USB Hub and Gigabit Ethernet Port
The USA Amazon does not have this CSL device, but they have one which is physically the same with the same spec but in black, so I hope it will do the same job.
The Canadian device is the same as the Amazon USA device:
2) An official Apple Lightening to USB adapter. It only works with the Apple Adapter, there are cheaper alternative but they are really for charging and won't work as Bi-Directional ports which you need for this project to work.
This is how to connect the parts to get your Wifi defective iPad or iPhone onto a LAN wired network.
If its a GSM device then it should be working via your GSM 3G or 4G when not connected to the network.

Here are links to the equipment you need:
1) A Powered USB Hub, 4-port is best for portability. It must be powered from an external power supply or the adapters will not work.
2) An official Apple Lightening to USB adapter. It only works with the Apple Adapter, there are cheaper alternative but they are really for charging and won't work as Bi-Directional ports which you need for this project to work.
3) An Official Apple USB to LAN Network adapter, I have only tested this setup with the official Apple Lan Adapter so I can't vouch that any others will work.

Since making and uploading this video, Youtube has presented me with many others which claim to enable you to get access using the HOME button and restarting.
Be Aware That All Of These Will Completely Wipe Your iPhone And Set It Back To Factory Settings - this means that unless the iPhone has been completely Backed Up recently, you will lose everything.
Also, if you have forgotten your iCLOUD password and you do a factory reset, you phone will lock up and lock you out when you connect to iTunes and therefore iCLOUD
This Will Turn Your Phone Into A Very Expensive BRICK
Due To Lack Of Disk Space From Making YouTube Videos!
I hadn't been able to back off my 64gb iPhone 5s
In trying to change the battery on an eBay purchased working 5s I discovered problems and damage inside and when I put it back together the touchscreen stopped working. Despite having set up fingerprint control so I could get access without typing in the passkey word I discovered that this is de-ativated when the iPhone is restarted, So therefore I am locked out.
Here is what I did when I had the passcode but a non working Touchscreen To Enter It At The Prompt - Besides PANIC

Here is the UK link to the Lightening to USB socket converter I successfully used in the video above:
If your in the USA you can get it here from Amazon using the link below:
As you can see, when set up as shown in the video above, it worked for me.
