Every time I try to login with my Apple ID (on iTunes, App Store, ...), I obtain the message "This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons". How can I resolve?

The problem is described in the question.

I reset the Apple ID and I change the password EVERY TIME I've to log in with my Apple ID.
I try to login, the message appears, I change the password and then I can log in.
But the next time (maybe the next day) I've to repeat the process.
Why?

"This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons" Every few weeks

I have had an iTunes account for years with no issue. Lately, I have been receiving the dreaded "This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons" message every few weeks on my iPad 2(currenly, my only iOS device). I go through the process of reauthorizing my password and info and it works again for a while, then happens again some time later. It's getting annoying. I'm not sure what's changed. Only two computers are authorized to use my account and I am the only one who can log into either of them. No one knows my info and I live alone.
The only thing I can think is that it's a bot spamming my e-mail address and passwords in an attempt to hack my account. If that's the case, am I really going to have to go through this every few weeks just to use my iPad? Don't get me started on how stupid it is to have to type in your password to update existing apps. And that's usually when I find out, not when I actually purchase one.
Is anyone else having this issue? I'm wondering if it's more widespread. Some time ago, a chinese app was mysteriously purchased on my account. Apple refunded the purchase and reset my password. That was about the time that all of this started. The reviews on the app left no doubt that it was happening to numerous people and I have no idea how they would have forced a purchase on so many user accounts.

Everyone should keep a few things in mind:
This is an occasional problem affecting a vanishingly small percentage of the installed base. Look at the numbers of actual instances in just this thread, look at the gaps in time, etc.
Many many more ... me for example ... have never seen it at all. That doesn't mean it's not an irritation for those afflicted, but it does mean that it's not something likely to be seen as a critical issue affecting the whole base.
You aren't talking to Apple here in these user-to-user forums, at all, for any reason. This sort of communication is handled through their established Feedback links. If you can suggest a better way for them to handle things then make your thoughts and feelings known at —

Update so that all apps are registered to my current apple ID from an email that is no longer valid. When I try and log into the old Apple ID I am told it has been 'locked for security reasons'

I have a very old apple ID that was used to install some of my first apps that I still use today such as Whats App. I cannot install updates for these apps because my apple ID is no longer operational and when I try and reset this apple ID I get an error message saying this apple ID has been blocked for security reasons. NB. I cannot reset using email verification as the email doesnt exist anymore and when I tried inputing my security questions I couldn't get past my birth questions and then got "you have too many failed attempts at verification...so this apple ID has been blocked".

The old Apple ID apps cannot be transferred to the new ID so you would be best to delete and download new.
For lockout issues with the Apple ID contact the store support staff at http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
For security questions reset, contact the country support number from http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 and ask to speak with the Account Security Team.

My e-mail account has been frozen for security reasons. I do not have a rescue e-mail address on file so when I try to reset my password the instructions are sent to the e-mail address that is frozen. How can I get Apple to remove the frozen status from my e-mail account?

Who discarded the Apple ID? Apple? or You?
Did you answer the Security Questions? Is the backup email accurate? Have you tried contacting them?

Every time i try to sign in to the mac app store i get the message 'an unknown error has occurred"

I can sign into the iTunes store but not into the Mac App Store. I don't have this problem on my other Mac running the same Mac OS X 10.6.8.

Try deleting the cache associated wi the App Store.
Quit the App Store if it's open.
Now open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy/paste: ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore
Click Go then move the Cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash.
Try the App Store.

Macbook pro 15 inch crashes every other day for no reason, how can i resolve this issue

my macbook pro is connected to an external monitor and i use apple key board and magic mouse. for the past few weeks, it has been crashing almost continously (at least once or twice a week) and i have to restart the computer. this has never happened before and i haven't added any new software to it that i may think can cause the problem.
what can i do to check on this and how can i fix it.
thanks

By crash do you mean there is a four language screen asking you to restart?
If not, then that really isn't a crash, and you need to learn how to break out of the issue in question.
If it is, then what you are witnessing is a kernel panic*:
http://www.macmaps.com/kernelpanic.html
Your Console application will have System log files which may indicate what application or driver was trying to launch at the time of the panic.
The non-kernel panic pseudo crashes come in a variety of flavors:
1. Spinning colorwheel as a result of a single hung application.   Try command-option-escape to bring the force quit window to force quit the offending application which usually will be highlighted in red. Select it, and click force quit. Your data will not be saved from the saved app, but it does say the application in question may have run out of disk space*:
http://www.macmaps.com/diskfull.html
Or is incompatible with some driver or operating system data on your machine.
2. Spinning colorwheel as a result of a system optimizer. Don't trust any application that cleans system cache. Doesn't matter if it is browser cache, but system cache should be only fixed in troubleshooting situations, on
backed up systems*:
http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
3. Spinning colorwheel as a result of a driver issue.   If the driver in question hasn't been tested with the operating system, it may fail to work when certain peripherals are connected.
4. Frozen mouse pointer with same symptoms as 1,2,3.
5. Splotched pattern under mouse pointer.   Generally means a hardware issue with the graphics chip.
6. Unexpectedly quitting applications or frozen applications as a result of no kernel panic nor compatibility issue. Thsoe may happen if they run into bad RAM without panicking*:

I get the message: "Your Appple ID has been disabled" when I try to download a subscription paid magazine (The Economist) from the App store. However, the same Apple ID was accepted when I joined this forum. What can I do to reenable my Apples ID?

I get the message "Your Apple ID has been disabled." when I try to download to my iPad a subscription paid magazine (The Economist) from the App Store. For what it's worth, the same Apple ID was accepted when I joined this Discussion Group. What must I do to get my ID enabled? I have been unable to find any explicit instructions online. Thank you.

i have had the same message when i wanted to download an app. I have had to reset my pasword and its been fine, but it has happened twice in the last two weeks!!! Still not sure Why its happened???

My Apple ID has been locked for security reasons 7 times in the last two days.

Since this past Sunday, I have had to go to the iforgot.apple.com site and unlock my apple ID at least 8 times. I didn't initiate a password change, nor did I unsuccessfully log in to anything. I found out because my daughter would bring me the iPad and on it a dialog box popped up for me to log into the iTunes store. Putting in my password didn't work. I haven't gotten any emails letting me know it's been locked. I only reveive an email when I unlock it.
I know that my Apple ID is a simple one, and one that other people often mistakenly think is theirs. I've gotten loads of emails over the years meant for other people. I've had my Apple ID (and associated email) since Steve Jobs first announved the @mac.com addresses via iTools. I don't want to change or lose it for sentimental reasons as well as practical.
I've tried to call Apple about this and so far haven't gotten anywhere. I set up two factor authentication about two weeks ago. At that point, the emails for password resets stopped and all seemed great until two days ago.
I've searched the support forums and so far have encountered others having the same issue, but no resolutions. So, I am mostly posting just to make sure Apple knows it's still happening.
Thanks for

Thank you. I know you're all users and not official Apple tech support, but I also know that the results of these discussions make their way up to search engines, and that Apple has to be aware that the issues discussed here happen.
As for the link to contact the iTunes support, I have already used that. I have a "ticket number" in their system, and have signed up for Apple to call me tonight after work. I was on hold with them yesterday for about 40 minutes, but had to hang up when my children's doctor called (they are both sick).
I was just venting, in the hopes that my venting would find others in the same troubled spot and we could share our frustratons together.
Thanks for trying to help and for listening.

When i try to sign in to my apple id it says your account has been locked for security reasons and then when i go on iForgot the email doesn't come through

this is really annoying me now i can't download any app updates or do anything to do with my apple id.

Same problem - did you get this resolved?

I recently sent a block email to various people at the same time but forgot to use bcc and my account has been blocked for spamming. How can I sort this out?

I work on the telephones at work and when I cannot get an answer from a customer I send them an e-mail asking them to contact me back at the office (missed call message). However I sent it to multiple recipients as I was in a hurry and did not click the bcc option to hide the customers mail addresses from each other by accident. They then marked the e-mails as spam and now my office thunderbird sends e-mails out but my customers call me saying they have not received any of the e-mails they have requested from our office. I would like to know if there is any way I can rectify this matter as it was just simply a mistake and because of this my business is suffering.

Talk to your email provider. They control their servers and what happens to your email.
