Your Apple ID has been disabled!?

After I had to change my cc# due to a security breach, I can't down load new apps or update the old ones. I am logged onto iTunes, and apple with the new info, but iPad says- "your apple I D. has been disabled." yikes!

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

IPad, iOS 4

I had this happen to me this morning. I had no fraudulent charges and no unauthorized use. I dutifully sent an e-mail to iTunes and got the auto-response of "24 to 48 hours..." etc.


Then I got an e-mail from PayPal saying that they had cancelled my Billing Agreement. Aha! My Apple ID is connected to PayPal! I called the number they provided, which connected me to Apple, who told me to e-mail iTunes. *sigh*


So I looked at my PayPal account, and lo and behold! There were 3 disputes in their Resolution Center, none of which had been filed by me. Since there were unresolved disputes, my PayPal account had been put on hold without my knowledge. I called PayPal to see what was up, since all 3 "disputes" amounted to less than $20. I was told that as soon as they received a notice from the payees (iTunes and Big Fish Games) that these were valid charges, they would unlock my account. How long would that take? "About 10 days."


I explained that this was my money, and I'm saying it's fine, go ahead and pay, there is no dispute. After a couple more transfers, a kind lady finally said that she could just clear out the disputes since I said it was okay, and did it while I was on the phone.


About 2 more hours passed, and now my iTunes is letting me download at will.


Moral of the story: Check your money source for Apple ID and make sure it's still valid. Mine wasn't, but I didn't know it until I started digging.

Chris really, your not helping anyone, in fact you are wasting space on the internet with your ramble ons about issues that don't concern you. Please stop post any furth comments in this support forrum.


I've been having the same issues, have spoke to customer support and they have still yet to fix my "account disabled" for over a month now.

You're welcome.

1) I get email updates everytime this thread is responded to. I doubt your attention was only brought back to this post because your name was mentioned.


2) Asking someone on a public help forum to mind their own business is like asking a blind person if they saw which way someone went. It's illogical, ignorant, and doesn't make any sense.


3) Why can't you offer assistance without being condescending and self congratulatory? I pray you don't react to people face-to-face the way you consistantly have in this thread.

As does telling someone to quit posting in this forum.


and really?

You responded as you did rather than trying to help with the topic?

Ok. Everything was working fine on my iPad. One day I saw that I had an update to an app I had and went to download the update. I get the message, "Apple ID has been disabled". Not for security reasons, not for any fraudulant purchases, just "Apple ID has been disabled".


I changed passwords like the instructions say... 7 times in fact. Still get the same message. I don't have multiple accounts so there is no problem there. I can sign in to Apple ID and see all of my options and see that everything is verified. I cannot download any updates or new Apps.


I have sent messages through the "itunes support" email page... twice and haven't heard back.


I have called twice. First time the guy only wanted me to go back to the website support. The 2nd time I talked to a lady who told me that my email was rejected and she couldn't send anything to me because of the rejection. Btw-my email is my Apple ID.


This is really getting frustrating.
