Thank you for reaching out. 🤗


When "your account has been disabled in the App Store and iTunes," there is an issue with the payment method.


Check your payment method in Settings ➢ [your name] ➢ Payment & Shipping, ensure it’s valid and update if needed. Also, sign out and back into your Apple Account, then try again.


If it still fails, contact Apple Support directly.



Good Luck! 👋🏼😉
