My Apple ID is disabled, what can I do?

I remember I added an Apple Card on my phone for $25 and this card reflected on my Apple Store that the amount was available in my Apple account but unexpectedly I just found out my account was disabled immediately and I have never received any update on how to get it right back because I really need to get into my account thank you

Hello,


I see you apparently have a disabled account, but have not provided the exact error message which would indicate a specific solution. The support article If your Apple ID is locked or disabled - Apple Support has solutions for two frequently encountered reasons for an account to be disabled/locked:


● If a message says "your account has been disabled in the App Store and iTunes Store" or "You cannot login because your account has been locked", then you must contact Apple; you cannot resolve this yourself. Apple provides a link for this specific issue. Tap or click here ➞ https://getsupport.apple.com/?caller=kbase&PGF=PGF63005&category_id=SC0245&symptom_id=23362 .


You can also use the general support link at Official Apple Support provided in an earlier post but I presume the group at Apple which writes the support articles has a very good reason for providing the special link in its article. Starting at the general support pages will likely end up at the same place and I'm just trying to save you a couple of minutes by providing the direct link that one team at Apple officially recommends for requesting this.


● If your account has been disabled for security reasons the solution is to reset your password as outlined in this document: If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support

If you find you can’t sign in, reset your password, or receive verification codes, you can request account recovery (read this support article: How to use account recovery when you can’t reset your Apple ID password - Apple Support ) to regain access to your account.
