Hello~ Your question is unclear. Do you want to disable your account? If so …click on the link below. Be careful here if that’s the direction you take.


Understand and control the personal information that you store with Apple - Apple Support


If your account is disabled and you want to enable it…


If your Apple Account is locked, not active, or disabled - Apple Support


Post back if needed.

If you mean you want to temporarily deactivate your Apple Account, Apple provides that option on its Data and Privacy site. Deactivation prevents access to Apple services until you reactivate the account.


Before doing that, I’d make sure anything important in iCloud is backed up or downloaded.


If instead you’re seeing a message that your account has been disabled, that’s a different issue. Apple has separate steps to regain access.
