Question: Account disabled

Hi

My account has been disabled a while ago and I do not know why. I just tried to unblock it, entered correct password and answered security questions, but still no luck. Please advise.

See these possibilities:

 

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. Insteadcontact Apple Support for help.”

 

Use the support link above.

 

And,

if necessary, go 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.

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."

__________

 

See Turn off Activation Lock https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201441We will be unable to help you unless (1) you are the one that set the device up prior to activation lock being enabled. Or (2) you have an extenuating circumstance (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). See How to request access to a deceased family member's Apple accounts https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208510.

 

If you think you have an extenuating circumstance, even one not mentioned above, use these support options for help.

I'm afraid none of it is helpful. The account is still disabled.


Before I initially contacted you, I already tried to add a new payment method as my old debit card expired. The exact message I get is: "Your account has been disabled. Contact Apple Support for more details."


Please help.
