Hi all! I'm a new member and I'm desperately looking for some answers or tips, hope I can resume and this doesn't become a TLDR. thanks in advance!
Recently my Wife's Apple ID was deactivated due to security reasons! - Why!? - we don't know! there was no warning or apparent reason, it just happened!; by the way, she's have had this account for almost 20yrs, multiple devices are related to this account; anyways! - we're now finding ourselves going over the Deactivation of the Activation Block process, we have sent the information to the people who are going to erase her machine and we have to now create a new account, but TIL - I cannot use ANY of the multiple Time Machine back ups I have from her machine! turns out ANY information I use that is related to her "Deactivated" Account would turn on the activation block back on (which is non sense if you ask me) - So now I'm trying to understand how can I go around this and be able to use all her files again! she's an Elementary school teacher and she uses this laptop for her work and is full to the brim with work related files!
I was thinking about pulling all files from the hard drive into another, unrelated drive and then upload to the cloud (to kind of remove the link to the blocked account) - but I'm not sure, up to what extent are these files related to the old account!
Any comment will be much appreciated!
