If you don't have it, you don't control it. After reading this article, I backed up everything and got rid of google apps for business. Feels awesome.

I had very important videos on that account, and I'd really like to get them back

how did YOU get your account restored? WHO did you contact. can you email me, because I would LOVE your help, as it sounds like you know the way to get it resolved.

p.s. I started my Youtube with a hotmail email address…and now when I try and unblock the account, it says please log in with the Gmail email linked to the account…

I DONT HAVE A GMAIL LINKED TO THE ACCOUNT!!!

After much frustration I went to IE and checked the Email addy again, this time it told me the password had been compromised and all I had to do was change it. What the heck is going on with Google?

Is it gone for good? I am the owner of a newspaper and had many items of news both National and Statewide (Wyoming) news on my blog. Why would google have done this? And, is there hope that my blog can be salvaged? Thanks in advance.

My violation? I forgot my password! So I cant access my account because they wont let me reset my password. What a circular bit of insanity. I only used Gmail once, and that was from my Blackberry. Is using Blackberry a violation of Gmail terms. My only other violation?.... Was it faithfully using google for years since its "invention" and trusting them to have a good product?. I am so sorry I was so faithful to Google. Now I see them in a different light. I suppose many of us will start trying a new search engine after being treated like the posters on this site. Sad. We really had learned to expect good things from Google products.

Sure, cloud is cool, BUT always have a local backup. I do have GMail account, as well as mail provided by Google on my domain. I can not imagine not operating e-mail through my ,ail client )Opera M2 in my case). Google can cut me off flr whatever 'reason', I will still have all of my mail as well as contacts etc. Then, just say FU to Google, establish an account with a orivuder with better customer service, and inform your contacts... Little info - I am not sure why they might have blocked you account sir, but sometimes they do so after sending a large amount of messages in a short period of time - I've learned that while trying to send a standard message to large number of contacts... Well, there are specialised services for that. People will never learn… Sure, cloud is cool, BUT always have a local backup. I do have GMail account, as well as mail provided by Google on my domain.
