Re: My Apple ID is saying it’s un active why is that


Wondering if you use iCloud, have data stored, and when the last time you used your iCloud account was?


The only reasons I came across when looking for info. on an un active (or inactive) Apple (ID) account are

in Apple's Terms and Conditions relating to the use of iCloud.

Legal - iCloud - Apple


Am no expert on legal matters ...

After scrolling right down the document to:" B. Termination by Apple"

Eg: says

"Apple may at any time, under certain circumstances and without prior notice, immediately terminate or suspend all or a portion of your Account and/or access to the Service"


There follows a long, long list of possible causes, so of course, there's no way I could know what may apply to you ... seems it can be from serious causes like fraudulent activity, to failure to pay fees etc., to simple causes like leaving your account inactive (unused) for a year.


If you use iCloud, and want to keep using it: You might want to contact the iCloud Support Team:

(Eg: There's a "Get support - start now" link at the bottom of their webpage - link below)

i iCloud - Official Apple Support


If you want you can: Archive or make copies of the information you store in iCloud - Apple Support to keep it safe.
