If you see an Apple ID (account) disabled message, select your situation from one of the cases below. What you need to do depends upon what message you are seeing. (Including exact error messages when you start a topic helps us help you.)
● If you see a message that says "Your account has been disabled in the App Store and iTunes" or "You cannot login because your account has been locked" you need to do as directed in the document If a message says 'Your account has been disabled in the App Store and iTunes' - Apple Support which is you must contact Apple Support. Use this special link: https://getsupport.apple.com/?caller=kbase&PGF=PGF63005&category_id=SC0245&symptom_id=23362. This is not something you can resolve on your own.

● Apple may disable accounts for other reasons in accordance with the terms and conditions of various services ( Legal - Internet Services - Apple ). Use the contact methods I just provided in the previous section to ask Apple about that.
● If you only see this in an email, a text message, or somebody called you to report this, it is phishing. Do not respond. Forward emails to: reportphishing@apple.com
