Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

Please clarify. Which applies to you assuming one does?


See this Apple document If you see a message that says 'Your account has been disabled in the App Store and iTunes' https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208856 "There might be a problem with the payment method that you have on file. ... When you see the message, don't try to edit any of your account information."

 

You can get Apple telephone support for help in solving your problem using this link https://getsupport.apple.com/?caller=kbase&PGF=PGF63005&category_id=SC0245&symptom_id=23362 

 

You can also use this iTunes Support form https://support.apple.com/en-euro/itunes-contact

 

And here is how to contact iTunes worldwide support via text or chat using this link https://support.apple.com/choose-country-region/itunes After choosing your country, see the heading Tell us how we can help.

__________

 

And see this document If your Apple ID is locked or disabled https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204106 "If you or someone else enters your password, security questions, or other account information incorrectly too many times, your Apple ID automatically locks to protect your security and you can't sign in to any Apple services.”

__________

 

See If you forgot the passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled  https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204306, especially the section entitled Remove your passcode. 

 

If you don't have a computer as mentioned in Remove your passcode, then "borrow one from a friend, or go to an Apple Retail Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider." Of course the last option usually is not available now.

 

Later the document says: "If you can't update or restore your device using recovery mode, or you can't use recovery mode because of broken or stuck buttons, contact Apple Support. Then follow the steps to set up service for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch."

____________


And see Turn off Activation Lock https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201441

 

Briefly, to remove the activation lock you will need to have the Apple ID password used by the person possessing the device prior to erasing it. Otherwise, we can't help with activation lock, and Apple support will not help unless there are extenuating circumstances (e.g., you have the receipt for your purchase of the device with its serial number on it or a court order instructing Apple to assist in the provision of access to a decedent’s information from the deceased person's accounts). To deal with the possibility you have an extenuating circumstance, use these support options:
