Blocked from buying software in the app store...?

I receive the following error when trying to purchase software:
"This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons. Click Reset to reset your account."
I have reset my password and my account but am still getting the same error. How can I continue to use my account?
Thanks!

Thanks for your response but I already tried that; I have re-initialized my password for my Apple ID 3 times and I am still getting the same error.
On any other website, I could easily purchase the software I'm interested in without this kind of hassle... I don't see why apple has such unnecessary excessive security measures!

  • When I go to update my software using the app store download, it always asks for the previous user's ID, not mine.  Please help!

    When I go to update my software using the app store download, it always asks for the previous user's ID, not mine (my IT guy at school's-I am a faculty with admin priviledges).  I have signed in as me, have set the main preferences login user as me,and everywhere on the laptop I can use my apple ID except here.  It always shows me a greyed out ID of my IT.  How can I reset this to my ID? It doesn't give me an option to change the user ID, only a link to reset password.  I reset it, but it did not change the problem.  Can someone help me?

    It's not an ID problem, it's an ownership problem.
    When someone uses their personal Apple ID to buy and download content, the content is licensed to them and has their Apple ID engrained in it's DNA. It is an anti-piracy program. And when that personal Apple ID is used to setup a new Mac, it involves the Mac itself, the shipping OS and any pre-installed apps as well.
    It's not the correct way to handle Macs that belong to a business or an institution. And had it been handled correctly they would not now be in this predictument needing a drastic remedy.

  • Unable to update any software via the App store.

    OSX Yosemite
    Version 10.10
    iMac Mid 2010
    Please help
    i get an error return whenever i attempt to update software via the App Store as per screen shot below:
    Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

    FYI, I got a response from this department telling me the following:
    Please bear with me, Joel - being a part of the iTunes Store Customer Support, which answers nontechnical questions exclusively about billing, customer accounts, downloading purchases, and iTunes Store content, I am a bit limited on the depth of support I can provide on the tech side of things.
    She went on to say, "for this issue, you need to call our AppleCare technical support team."  Because my MacBook is a couple years old, I don't qualify for free AppleCare support.  So, I'm hoping the community might still be able to help me out here.

  • Cant buy anything off the app store and lost all my apps after update

    Hello, im having a problem with my iphone 4, i couldnt buy anything off the App store so i decided it would fix my problem. i was wrong there it only caused more problems after the update. i lost all my apps and i still have the same problem with my app store.
    I can open the app store but whenever i try to touch the (Free) button nothing happens, also when ever i go to the category section it shows me a bunch of random apps and i cant go back to pick a different category. please help!

    I bet you still have your apps on your computer. Sync the apps onto your phone from there. If they arent on your computer, download them on.

  • If I buy Lion in the app store, can I ''reset'' my whole macbook (instead of doing this with the cd that comes with the macbook)?

    If I buy Lion in the app store, can I ''reset'' my whole macbook (instead of doing this with the cd that comes with the macbook)?
    With ''reset'' I mean, repair because it is from 2007 and so slow. So that all the data and programmes are gone and I can start over with Lion!?

    You have a choice. You can start by erasing the drive and reinstalling Snow Leopard prior to purchasing and downloading the Lion installer. Or you can purchase and download the installer, save the Lion installer, create a bootable Lion USB flash drive installer, boot from the Lion installer, erase the hard drive, and install Lion. I would suggest the second choice:
    Make Your Own Lion Installer
    1. After downloading Lion you must first save the Install Mac OS X Lion application. After Lion downloads DO NOT click on the Install button. Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the Lion installer. Move the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button or quit the installer. You must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes installing Lion.
    2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
    Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    3. Locate the saved Lion installer in your Downloads folder. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the installer and select Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. Double-click on the Contents folder to open it. Double-click on the SharedSupport folder. In this folder you will see a disc image named InstallESD.dmg.
    4. Plug in your freshly prepared USB flash drive. You are going to clone the InstallESD.dmg disc image to the flash drive as follows:
    Open Disk Utility.
    Select the USB flash drive from the left side list.
    Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    Check the box labeled Erase destination.
    Select the USB flash drive volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    Drag the InstallESD.dmg disc image file into the Source entry field.
    Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    When the clone is completed you have a fully bootable Lion installer that  you can use without having to re-download Lion.
    To install Lion from scratch:
    Install or Reinstall Lion from Scratch
    If possible backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive.
    Boot From Lion USB Flash Drive:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager appears. Select the icon for the USB flash drive then click on the arrow button below the icon.
    Erase the hard drive:
    Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
    After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
    Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Install button.

  • IMovie won't show up in my MacBook. Am I supposed to buy it off the app store? I used to have it but I restarted my computer and it just disappeared?

    I used to have iMovie but I restarted my computer and when I started it again my iMovie app was gone. When I search for it it says theres nothing there in that name, but when i look it up in the website it says that its supposed to be a build in app. Am I supposed to buy it in the app store?

    Try the other USB port. If it still doesn't show up in Disk Utility then there may be something wrong with your Mac. Try something else in each USB port and see if it is seen. If the other thing, like a USB thumb drive, does show up in disk utiltiy then the USB ports are fine.
    Power down the system and restart with the drive connected, go to DU and see it it is seen.

  • I am trying to buy an app (Aperture). I don't see a "buy" icon in the app store. If I go to Apple site, there is a buy icon but when I click it, I get a dialogue box saying the link needs to be opened with an application. Please help. Thanks.

    Hi ...
    Installing the OS X Lion Update 10.7.3 (Client Combo) will reinstall the App Store for you.
    Restart your Mac after the combo is installed then try purchasing Aperture.

    I'm trying to buy something on the App Store but I don't remember my Security questions answers what can I do

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.

    I update the software and the app store was eliminated , how I can download again ??  thank you

    You cannot delete it or download it.
    It is likely on another page, in a folder or you have restrictions set.

  • The The Economist icon has disappeared from my iPad. The App store tells that I am have already downloaded   What to do to get it back.

    the The Economist icon has disappeared from my iPad. The App store tells that I am have already downloaded  Will not download again.  How do I get my icon back.

    Well, App Store is system app. It might have been moved accidentally to a folder. You might be having an idea of Spotlight search when you swipe the home screen to the left most section, you can search "App Store" and you have the icon of the App Store.
    You can try to reset home screen layout by going to settings - general - reset - reset home screen layout
    Keep in mind, this will reset all the app folders you've created in the home screen.
    If it still doesn't appear, you might have accidentally turned the switch ON to disable App Store in restrictions.
    Can be accessed by going to settings - general - restrictions - (Enter passcode if asked) - Turn on the Installing Apps and Deleting Apps switches to ON
    Let me know if this helps you out
