posted about my Apple ID woes, please share widely?
Sorry for your plight & I hope that you can retrieve your data but this is a prime example why I'll never buy another #Apple product & why I never store anything that I care about on a proprietary site in #TheCloud.
I've owned a couple of iPhones (3&4), still own an iPad 1 that works & owned a Classic iPod that died with 1k or so tracks still on it, most of which were free.
I assume that I still have an Apple account but I haven't used it in over 5 yrs since my iPod died. So, it's probably been closed for dormancy.
I "invested" less than $1k in these Apple things. So, my "loss" was minimal but I never liked how Apple tries (very successfully) to suck ppl into buying ONLY their products & thereby forcing them to become hostage to its hardware & software systems.
This is why I'll NEVER buy another Apple product again & why, if asked, that I'll recommend against anyone buying any Apple product, as well. 🤷♂️
