In case the Apple ID is blocked, be sure to pay attention to five points.

Not long ago, the author personally experienced an "inexplicable" incident in which Apple ID was blocked. After a period of observation and exploration, I basically came up with some relatively perfect countermeasures and precautions. After roughly sorting out some experiences, I specially share them with readers, hoping that everyone can learn from them and avoid unnecessary losses.

1. Never let strangers buy it.

These so-called "regular purchasing" services basically come from an e-commerce platform in China, attracting customers with the slogan of "untitled", and then grasping the psychological weakness of most buyers by the temptation of "half-price concessions" and redeeming codes for sale. The main contents they sell are: "freshly baked" exchange codes and purchased but unused exchange codes. These include the App Store in China and the App Store areas in other overseas countries.

Most of the redemption codes sold by these third-party sellers are attractive, but in fact, most of them use illegally stolen invalid credit cards (commonly known as "black cards") to make purchases. Even if it is not a "black card", this redemption code purchased through unofficial third-party channels will be at risk of being blocked by Apple!

Apple's relevant regulations stipulate that:

Gift certificates, content codes and unused account limits cannot be exchanged for cash, refunded for cash (except as required by law), exchanged, resold, used for buying gifts or gift certificates, used for shopping in Apple online stores or used in Apple retail stores. The unused balance is not transferable.

Gift certificates and content codes purchased or designed for circulation in China can only be redeemed in China through relevant stores.

ITunes is not responsible for the loss or theft of gift certificates, content codes or account restrictions. For the avoidance of doubt, in case of content code, you may not be the recipient.

If gift certificates, content codes or account restrictions are obtained by fraudulent means or used in related stores, iTunes reserves the right to close the account or ask for other payment methods.

When your device violates the regulations (or may violate the regulations) due to some operations, such as buying and redeeming an illegal redemption code, it may be recognized by Apple's security mechanism, resulting in the account being deactivated. You can mail it.

Call customer service, communicate with them patiently, and further obtain "Amnesty". There are only two "Amnesty" opportunities for each account.

What should I do if I urgently need to buy an App when I can't buy it (such as limited price reduction and new product discount)? The author's suggestion is to find a friend you know who doesn't have a credit stain on the Apple ID and let him buy it and give it to you through the "gift" function in the App Store. The fee can be transferred to him separately. In this way, because it is the official channel of Apple, as long as there is no problem with your friend's Apple ID, there is no risk.

Just note that redemption codes purchased with "gifts" can only be redeemed in the App Store in the current region, which means that redemption codes given in China cannot be redeemed with American accounts.

2. Don't cancel Apple ID frequently.

Whether the current Apple ID is consistent with the iCloud ID of the device or not, as long as you use the same account for a long time, even if its payment address comes from abroad, or you use a domestic account when you are abroad, it will not be affected (if you are unlucky, it happens that Apple often detects that the "location address" does not match the payment address, which will lead to the suspension of the title, and you can solve this problem by closing the "location" permission of the App Store). However, if you log in repeatedly and frequently, it will be detected by Apple's security protection mechanism, because it will mistakenly think that your account has been stolen.

What is Apple's security protection mechanism? As one of the largest online virtual app stores in the world, Apple has always been highly vigilant about its own app store. Once it finds any problem with the account, it will not even inform you, and immediately block the account until the user finds the problem himself. Then contact customer service to recover. Its main detection aspects include: positioning, logout login, account area, credit record, purchase method, etc. (The above data are the author's statistics and do not represent the official explanation).

Similarly, if you have to switch accounts repeatedly for some reason, how can you prevent Apple from detecting anomalies? First, you must turn off the positioning of the App Store. Secondly, prepare scientific online tools for backup, and remember to connect the corresponding nodes and try to log in again when logging in to Apple ID in other countries (this method has no clear data verification, but the actual measurement still has certain effect). If the download speed is not fast enough, you can temporarily switch back to the domestic network to continue. When entering the App Store again, it is recommended to open the "ladder".

There is a special situation, that is, when buying iTunes Store music and iBooks Store books, you can basically ignore the risk of account closure. According to Apple's telephone customer service staff, the "title" behavior can only restrict users from purchasing App-related operations, and has nothing to do with online music and books, so you can prepare two accounts here, one to buy App and the other to buy music and books.

3. Don't authorize too many devices.
