Terrible company

[AppleVictim2]

The prevailing corporate culture of Apple is arrogant piracy!!
Several years ago I discovered that the Apple pirates had stripped/stolen/looted/removed all of the music from the hard drive of my personal Toshiba laptop. Not just the many tunes I had purchased through iTunes but all of my personal CD’s as well. Some of it from my travels throughout the Caribbean, UK and Europe. The theft included my custom ringtones. I was able to retrieve some of it but lost quite a bit. Much of it won’t play because of the digital rights lock.

This week I got sick of Apple constantly nagging about buying more cloud storage (which I never wanted in the first place) and deleted an iCloud email.
As they walked the plank they looted/stripped/stole/removed all of my personal and business contract information dating back more than two decades.
Apple is an absolutely terrible, monopolistic corporation.

Just curious as to the procedure you would use back up “contacts”

You can export your address book and then backup that file it outputs.

We get it, you don't like Apple. Find another company that fits your ideals. Clearly you should move on. Not only does your post make ZERO sense, it's statistically improbable.

Statistically improbable???
Now there is some zero sense!!

 

[AppleVictim2]

Oh, no place for a real problem in your statistically ideal universe??
After reading an account of a problem that actually exists in the real world you’ve decided there is no place for any of that improbability in your presence. Maybe you’d be happier someplace else.

This is all probably retribution for your username, Apple monitors these forums for criticism and they probably took offense

You know, you can buy external storage these days for cheap -- and this kind of insurance has been available for decades -- literally. Perhaps it's a hard lesson to learn but at least it's an easy solution.

I’ve had issues like this strike close to home. My grandmother had some problems on the admin side of her OnlyFans account and they deleted all her content, much of it vintage and irreplaceable

I always wondered how Apple gets all the music for Apple Music.

iCloud backup? 🤷‍♀️

Did you call Huawei? They fixed it for me.

About the iTunes stuff: No. Not possible. Check your Purchased tab.

Your iCloud data loss is simply not possible. Consult a professional for help - i.e the Apple Store.

That is all.

I'm not sure if I am understanding what might have happened to OP's iCloud/AppleID account.
Sounds like you deleted "something" (after being annoyed with Apple suggesting that you purchase more iCloud storage). Maybe you uninstalled your iCloud app. That, in turn, would remove everything stored there.
I suggest that you contact AppleID support. If you turned off or removed iCloud from your Toshiba laptop, without backing up the data locally, then you might expect that it will be gone, and not retrievable. AppleID support will be able to tell you the status of your iCloud storage.

This applevictim 232 is looking for attention
A grown up man if he really thinks that some company mislead him, he contact a lawyer not come here on a forum to cry
Contact a lawyer and stop looking for attention

Stop insulting a company because you made a mistake

The tone and tenor of your post (and your username) your post clearly confirm a lack of objectivity in your complaint.

Ahhhhh, thank you. Mission accomplished!!! After all the grief they have infected on me, I’m very happy to slip a burr under the corporate saddle.
As for all the Applephile know-it-all’s, I have spent many long, irritating and fruitless hours trying to retrieve my music. Not purchased from all mighty Apple but from street vendors and kiosks and swap meets in various countries. Apple’s tech support told me I had no right to put any music on my hard drive because I had only purchased the RIGHT to play it, not actually possess it. Applephiles, please search the web for the multiple law suits and class actions concerning these issues.
Apple is a averistic

lol now that's total horsesh*t. Please, show us the transcript or audio recording of the call in which an actual Apple employee told you you're not allowed to store externally-sourced music files on your computer. Sounds like you may have had your iCloud account compromised, and been given a fake Apple support number.

That or you're a terrible troll. 😂

I was being facetious, you created your account just today. How on earth could Apple be monitoring this activity and then take action against you in the past? Troll harder

Looks like you don’t understand how it works when you delete data… maybe next time educate yourself first

This...seems like user error.

Hates Apple… comes to what is basically an Apple forum to write rubbish.
