Most Likely Reason: Your Apple ID is Too New / Low Trust Level


Apple Support Communities (ASC) uses a trust system.

New accounts — especially those with Level 1 (12 points) like yours — sometimes get temporary posting restrictions.

You may see Access Denied when:

  • Posting too many questions in a short time
  • Editing a post after publishing
  • Trying to reply repeatedly
  • Posting from a new device or new IP address
  • Your account hasn’t been fully verified yet

This is NOT your fault — it’s an automated spam-protection mechanism.
