Restore ASC Profile

As you know, the people on this forum are users like yourself, so you probably also know that what is and isn't possible for this kind of issue is best addressed by contacting the hosts. Allan Jones has apparently already notified the moderators of your concerns, otherwise you can contact them by email at communityaccounts@apple.com

It would be great if it still existed! But unfortunately I can't log into the account, as the Apple ID I used is tied to the ASC profile - and that Apple ID has been deleted. My only option would be if the main forces behind this website could recreate it, or somehow move the information to my new profile. But I can see that it sounds impossible.

I had a user called JS-fromDK in my previous ASC life! hehe 👻

Sorry, but your old profile can't be merged with the new profile. You'll just have to be JSBerg going forward.

Yes, I know. I was more looking to see if anyone had experience with it, maybe another user had been in a similar situation.

I was also hoping that a user would report my post to a moderator (like Allan Jones has done), since I was not familiar with the contact email. But I haven't heard anything, so I assume it can't be done. That's also completely ok. I'll have to see if I can get some other User Tips made if I get to the level where I can do it.

There just isn't a way to merge two Apple Accounts here. I know because my very first Apple Account from years ago, was not my email address. It is the account I use for this forum. My correct Apple Account is my email address and there is no way to merge them as I requested it long ago and was told it can't be done.

I’ve often wondered about this…

Is it possible to restore a deleted Apple Support Community profile if you only discover later that your Apple ID was linked to that profile? The Apple ID was deleted a long time ago, so the 7-day recovery window has long since passed.

I had created several User Tips and other posts that I’d really like to have associated with my profile again.

My guess is that the answer is no — but as the saying goes, “If you don’t ask, you won’t know.”

The answer is the same as above, which is no.

The old account likely still exists, but you cannot merge two accounts at all. Either use the old account, assuming you remember the Account and Password for the account or just stick with your current account. Who might you have been in your previous ASC life?

I have let the moderators know of your concern.
