After I speak with support, how long should it take for my Apple ID to be reactivate?

Someone used my Apple ID last year to buy over $200 in games. I immediately contacted iTunes support, and they took care of everything beautifully, including disabling my account.
I left it disabled for quite a while, mostly out of forgetfulness. Eventually a couple of my Apps got outdated enough that they stop functioning.
I finally contacted iTunes support again a month ago. I gave them the information they requested, then was told they were "working toward a resolution for the issue", which I assumed would be turning my account back on. However it has been over a month, and my request for an update just got me an e-mail saying "we are unable to enable this account at this time"
Is a month waiting period the usual time? Are they just backed up with these sort of cases? Have they decided I'm not actually who I say I am and if so what is my next step?
Thank you ahead of time.

Why was it disabled.   Usually you are told, particularly if it was for security reasons.
Best course of action would be to follow the instructions in My Apple ID

  • After restoring my iPhone 4s how long should it take for it to function?

    I just restored my iPhone through itunes on MacBook Pro but after the restoration the screen went black with just the apple icon on it. Should it be this way? and if so for how long? I'm hoping its just processing the info but its been a good 20 minutes already and its still completely unresponsive

    Reset the iPhone, hold both home and power buttons until the iPhone begins to restart. Usually takes about 10 seconds of holding both buttons.
    If still nothing and you decide to Restore again. Restart computer. Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer. Hold both home and power buttons until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. This usually takes about 20 seconds of holding both buttons. Restore the iPhone Firmware.
    If still problem, all iPhone 4S have full Warranty, make Genius Reservation and take iPhone to Apple for resolution.

  • How long should it take for an answer on a question Cisco agree's is a good question and agree to work on it?

    Guys,
    How long should it take for an answer on a question Cisco agree's is a good question and agree to work on it?
    I have an RVS-4000 and it sends me error message by email on errors. Yet I do not have any documentation on what these error messages mean. I asked these question last May and still have not received any answers.
    I was told it had been forwarded to a engineer for creatation of this documentation in May. Here we are...
    Do any of you agree we need this type of documentation on our Routers? I think it should have been created before these where sold and included with these Routers. Maybe if we all voted on it. Then It might still happen?
    Please add you reply's to this. As it might help to get things moving...

  • My iPhone 5 has been dead for weeks.. I just now found it and I plugged it in.. How long should it take for it to turn on?

    My iPhone 5 has been dead for weeks.. I just now found it and plugged it in, how long should it take for it to turn on??

    I think that the battery is dead because , if you don't charge it for a long time the battery will ruin. You must wait, with the charger plugged, for a long time to turn it on. it could be also a worse problem and you have to replace your battery

  • HT1766 How long should it take for a icloud back up of about 6.4GB?  It has been running all night and not complete.

    How long should it take for an icloud backup of about 6.4GB?  I selected a manual backup and it has been running all night?  Thanks         

    That's going to depend alot on your internet connection speed. 6.4 GB is alot of data, especially if your connection speed is slow (DSL) or low-end cable speeds of ~1.5 Mbps.

  • How long should it take for the iOS 5 iPhone software to update?

    How long should it take for the iOS 5 iPhone software to update? Mine is taking a ridiculous amount of time, to the point where I need to stop it as i need to go out and need my phone !

    Depends on how strong your wifi connection is.
    you can try a reset hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release.

  • How long should it take for a new vault to be created?

    I have a late 2009 27" iMac i7 with 16GB of RAM. I use referenced masters. The masters are located on a Drobo connected with FW 800. The internal drive on the iMac is a 1TB drive. The Aperture library is located on that drive and is 158.39 GB. I have about 110,000 master images. Most of them are RAW files shot with a succession of Nikon bodies (D100, D200, D300, and D400). I am in the process of moving a vault off of the Drobo and onto another external hard drive. I started the vault creation on Friday morning (3 days, 6 hours ago) and Aperture shows that it is still working on it.
    I have read the germane threads and have given it over three days now to complete. There is very little, if any, progress on the visual indicator that the task is nearing completion. It shows the job as about halfway done. However, Aperture still shows as responding in the Force Quit menu. Aperture is currently using up 11.2 GB of available RAM. Normally, I don't have any memory swaps. Now, page ins are 13,418,681, page outs are 7,226,523, and swaps are at 43.70 GB. CPU utilization shows Aperture consistently at about 170% of capacity.
    I really don't want to force quit Aperture for fear of what state it might leave my database. On the other hand, I need my machine and I can't use it until this process finishes or I force quit it.
    How do I know if Aperture is actually doing something or is it stuck in an infinite loop? What are the repercussions of doing a force quit? How long should I wait to see if it will actually finish on its own accord?
    Any insights, comments, or solutions would be greatly appreciated.
    Rick

    Rick-
    You are not being ignored. I for one just do not know what to say because it depends on how badly you need the use of the Mac and how at-risk your data are. One thought would be to just use the Mac (letting Aperture page out while other apps use the RAM) but that is a risk if the RAM is frozen for some reason. It does sound like you may have a memory leak.

    What I do not understand is what you mean by "moving a vault off the Drobo." I would think that if you are making a new Vault that would involve the internal drive and the new drive, no major interaction with the very slow Drobo except to point to Masters there (I could be wrong).
    Also could some of your files be managed on the Drobo rather than referenced?

  • I bought an iPhone 5 from someone, how long does it take for his Apple ID to come off

    I bought an iPhone 5s from someone second hand, he had put it back to factory settings but when I tried to use it it asked for his Apple ID and password, I contacted him to ask for him to delete his id from the phone, how long does it take after he does that for me to be able to set up the phone with my details?

    This is what should have been done:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5661
    If the seller didn't do the above, you need to get the seller to do this. If you don't, you won't be able to re-activate the phone. It will be useless to you.
    I suspect you may have been scammed.

  • How long should it take for my iPad to fully charge?

    My ipad takes forever to charge

    "Forever" is a bit nebulous. Can you possibly give an estimate in hours? I rarely pay attention to how long it takes my iPad to charge as I put it on charge when I go to sleep at night and it's charged when I take it off in the morning. From dead to full, probably around 3 hours, though.
    Are you charging it using the included charger? Or are you trying to charge it by connecting it to a USB port on your computer? Many computers don't have USB ports that provide enough power to charge an iPad unless the screen is off and then only very slowly.

  • How long does it take for your apple id to be lock

    How long does your Apple ID can be lock for

    What is the message that you are getting when you try to use the account ? If it's disabled then it will remain disabled until you get it re-enabled ; if it's locked then it will depend upon why it's locked as to whether Apple will unlock it when you contact them.
    If it's disabled then depending upon the reason you might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
    You might then need to log out of your account on any iOS devices that you have by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store (Settings > Store on iOS 5 and below) and then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on them.
    If that doesn't fix it, or if Apple have locked it, then contact iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • To prepare my iPad for repair (speaker works intermittently), I started the "Erase All Content and Settings" (as instructed) over 14 hours ago.  It's a 16GB iPad that was pretty full... how long should it take for the resetting to complete?

    ??

    What happens is that the weaker the battery, the less time it takes it to charge (and run down) because it doesn't take long to reach its lowered maximum capacity.
    Although I never worry about my battery and leave my portables plugged in most of the time, that isn't necessarily the best thing for the battery.

  • Installing Nano and iTunes with dialup - how long should it take?

    I got a nano for Christmas and am just now trying to use it. When I try to download iTunes it says that it will take upwards of 5 hours! I have dialup, living in a rural area, so I know it'll take longer, but can this be right? Also, when I download iTunes, what will happen to the music I have in Windows Media Player? Sorry, but I ma very new to iTunes & Nano!

    It depends on a number of things?
    1 - the amount of RAM installed.
    2 - amount of free space on the boot drive. It's strongly recommended to have a minimum of 20-25 GB free space.
    3 - the total playing time of the DVD.
    4 - the encoding process selected.  Professional Quality is a 2 pass process so will take more time than any of the other options.
    5 - CPU speed of your Mac.
    6 - if you're using a SL or DL disk.
    Follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
    To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
