iOS 9.3.5 recover photos with broken touchscreen
After a lot of other ideas the person I was doing this for was able to give me an old WiFi network that the iPad had connected to. Once I had internet access on the ipad it was &quot;easy&quot;
Using Siri I enabled voice over (Say &quot;Enable Voice Over&quot;).
Then I went into bluetooth settings and switched on bluetooth whcih I did by asking siri for the bleutooth settings and then using Ctrl+Alt+Space (Ctrl+Option+Space on a mac keyboard) to switch it on. Once It saw the bluetooth keyboard I had prepared earlier I again used Ctrl+Alt+Space to pair with it.
Once I had the Bluetooth keyboard paired I connected the iPad to the computer using the cable and then used the bluetooth keyboard to Ctrl-Alt-Space the allow button and thats it. All data is being recovered now.
It is nothing short of a nightmare to navigate on an iPad with a keyboard but it is dooable.
I had already tried a digitizer replacement but it appears that the connection in the iPad was damaged as its digitizer worked on another iPad and none of the digitizers I had worked on this one. I do not belive it would have been possible to do this without getting it onto the internet.
