Dagger Is Back Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Sadly last week we lost my brother in law suddenly at the age of 55. He was single and my wife’s the only surviving member of the family. We live in a digital age but all of his photos etc are sat behind a password/passcode protected Imac/IPhone. For obvious reasons my wife wants access but for obvious reasons Apple can’t help. Has anyone experienced similar and found a solution?

We don’t know his I tunes password. Apparently you can though ask Apple to transfer the Apple ID to the surviving relative and access ICloud content that way but there’s a bit of a legal process involved.
