Most of the people on here, including myself, are fellow users, we won't know why it's been disabled.

You might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'

If it then works on your computer's iTunes but not your phone then try logging out of your account on the phone by tapping on your id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6) and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on it

If that doesn't fix it then you might need to contact iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

I tried all of the suggestions after getting this message on my iPad. I even called Apple support, and after 30 minutes on the phone, they assured me that my account was now enabled and would work after 10 minutes. Guess what, still the same unspecific message that my Apple ID is disabled.


What a shame. There must be a serious problem with the Apple Store servers if this is happening to so many people.

It's a pain, but you have to call apple care and be persistent, and not every person there knows what to do, so you need to keep trying till you get someone who knows what to do. They have to take you through steps where you login to your account online and they do a reset on your account.


It's ridiculous, and I am sure apple loses a ton of business this way, but they're king now so don't have to play hungry.
