IPad disabled for no reason

Since I updated to iOS 7, my iPad randomly says it is disabled even when I haven't entered the wrong password. I've used it in my apartment just before leaving but as soon as I get to class and try to use it, it is disabled! This is a new problem since the iOS 7 update last week.

I can't tell you how it happened - but here's how to fix it.

"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 —

im trying to change my password for my apple id but its says that my account has been disabled for security reasons, how can i solve this problem?

Depending on why it's been disabled you might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
Or you might need to contact Apple : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
If it then works on your computer's iTunes but not your phone/iPad then try logging out of your account on the phone/iPad 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

This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons

When I try to log in to my iTunes store account i get the following message:
*This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons*
I've waited a while and tried again (as in a week or longer), and the account is still disabled.
Can anyone tell me how to get the ID enabled again, since as of now I'm unable to buy / download any content from the store. Which makes my iPhone a sad phone
My assumption is the problem is i have a rather desirable account name: i am constantly receiving notifications of failed logins to my account, presumably by scripts trying to hack it. But i have a secure password, so no problem. But perhaps this has led to the account being deactivated?
Any help / or reactivating the account would be great.

My itunes account was disabled for some reason. I changed password in iforgot and still didn't work. I could log in but not make purchases from the store so I set up a new login/account . Is there any way to move my music to the new account?

My itunes account was disabled for some reason. I changed password in iforgot and still didn't work. I could log in and see my music but not make purchases from the store or even redeem an itunes gift card so I set up a new login/account with another email account of mine. On the new account I can redeem my gift card and download items onto my ipad2. Is there any way to move my music to the new account?

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

My 5-minute-old AppleId account was disabled immediately for security reasons. I have followed instructions carefully and although I seem to be able to change my password, I cannot login using the new password bcs account disabled for security reasons!

It is probably something to do with the fact that I am in the Philippines, but what am I supposed to do? According to the support options I have to pay to open a support ticket. My account was not verified when it was disabled and I think I might be in some sort of deadlock in which the password reset won't work because I'm not verified, and the verification won't work because I can't log in.
I've never bought a single Apple product before and this has got to be the worst intro I could have imagined!

Solved.
After about an hour on the phone with US support (who were very helpful I must say) it turns out that if you do not have an iTunes account with credit card information and a billing address, you are very much more likely to get your AppleId account disabled "for security reasons". This begs the question of course as to whose security we are talking about here! But there you go. If you are an Apple first-timer, get an iTunes account, fill in all your details, and you should be alright.
Thanks for everyone's suggestions.

I can send & receive email from my ipad but for some reason I can no longer do this from my i mac.It keeps telling me that the password is not valid with the imap server.I keep entering the password but it won't accept it.

Do you have one, two or more entries in the left colum of Mail.app for your mail server(s)? That is, do you have your Mail.app set up with either a btinternet entry, with a btyahoo entry, or both? Or more?
I'm guessing that you might have one account (btyahoo?) listed for incoming (IMAP server) mail, and with the outbound (SMTP server) mail is configured and named btinternet.
Based on what little I see posted, it looks like BT uses both btinternet and btyahoo, but I'm not exactly clear on how they have their stuff set up, and their web set gets helpful and tries to help configure my mail — I don't immediately see a single web page with the mail server set-up details. The BT email client set-up starts here.
