Open letter to Tim Cook,
Open letter to Apple inc,
I am Filip (59) from Belgium. Apple fan since 1990 with my first Mac Classic.
For over 33 years I have been a promotion person for Apple and everything related to it. (professional musician, Certified developer for Claris Filemaker, ...).
I have an original AppleID (xxx@mac.com). I've always believed that a paid iCloud is a safe place to avoid losing data. Also for sharing documents across an iPhone, iPad, Mac...
Everything, absolutely everything in our family revolves around our AppleID:
- iCloud drive: all my scores and musical productions, Filemaker Pro data, title deeds, accounting, ... ;
- email via custom domains;
- HomeKit to open our house, gates, lights, homepods, ...
Last week, Apple decided to simply deactivate my AppleID:
- no advance warning;
- just out of the blue -> "your AppleID is not active"
HUUUGH???
After dozens of phone conversations with Apple iCloud Support:
"sorry sir, you have done something against the iCloud licensing terms and Apple is going to permanently deactivate your AppleID.
My life's work is simply being taken away by Apple:
- All my musical compositions and scores -> gone
- My accounting -> gone
- Title deeds of our home -> gone
- everything that is important -> gone
Please Apple: reactivate my AppleID!
If we did something wrong (which I highly doubt), please let us know what is. We will adapt so that we are in line with the license conditions.
33 years of my life wasted... Shame Apple... I don't deserve this !
