How can i download from my App Store when it keeps telling me to activate my Apple ID

If you see the message below, or similar "inactive" messages:

- "Inactive" Apple ID/Account

- "Verification Failed. This Apple ID is not active."

you might be able to request access to your account by tapping Request Access right from the alert. If that does not work, this link (versus one taking you to the general support page) is the most direct way to get to the people helping you with this —> https://getsupport.apple.com/?PGF=PGF63005&category_id=SC0245&symptom_id=23626

or by telephone at one of the numbers in this support article --> Contact Apple for support and service - Apple Support

If you deliberately deactivated it, read the section "Can I reactivate my account?" in this support article --> How to deactivate your Apple ID account - Apple Support
