Wrote books on Apple software. Bought five figures of gear over decades. Then bought an Apple giftcard, & suddenly permabanned in spite of raising issue with internal contacts.

It is worth highlighting that this sort of thing is not just an Apple issue. It happens frequently to peoples Google accounts, and probably Microsoft accounts, as well.

The only sane advice to anyone is always have another copy of the data. Preferably locally, but in another cloud provider at least.

If it only exists in one place you might as well be using the recycling bin to store you important data.

@flop_leash_973 @brbposting Best advice you can give. I've got stuff in iCloud, OneDrive and locally. Never keep your data in just one place.
