Mehvo,


I guess 'some people' just don't know that two different error messages refer to the URL for the If you see a message that says 'Your account has been disabled in the App Store and iTunes' - Apple Support document. I try to draw their attention to this but I guess people just weren't reading all the posts.


The document in the link I provided is the most direct referral to the solution you need in this case.
