Mail account has been disabled, it's my primary ac...

Hi all,
I carried out a vigorous search before posting!
Issue:
I logged into our primary BT account (which was fine, no issues there; aware of outage today etc); upon clicking on the mail icon I was met with the below message:
Your Yahoo! Mail Account is no longer active.
Unfortunately, we cannot reactivate your account because:
Your Yahoo! Mail account has been disabled. Please contact user support.
Reasons why this may have happened:
It may have been as a result of not using/sending emails from the account within a given period of time. We hardly use the primary address email; it usually only receives BT offers and BT warnings about usage! The disablement is not as a result of hacking and I’m not aware we broke any yahoo mail rules as it’s barely used!
Worries:
I’ve tried with no luck to raise this with yahoo and I’m beginning to feel a little disheartened at the lack of support from Yahoo and everything associated!
The email acts as our primary account, without it I won’t receive emails re: usage warnings, offers etc and if I need to verify something I won’t be able to!
I could create a sub account but it won’t receive the same emails as the primary account.
More worries:
I’m also worried the email primary email will eventually disappear because after a period of time you can’t reactivate a yahoo mail account, and then I’ll be met with an even bigger problem...
Anyone had this issue or be able to provide support and/or advice? Just to clarify, no problem logging in, that's fine; can do everything else, we just can't access the yahoo mail account!
Many thanks,
Officeworker.

    Hi mamamuddpie,
    If your Apple ID account has been disabled, follow the steps below to reset your password and gain access.  There is a link in the article to the Apple ID Security team if you need help with this.  
    If your Apple ID has been locked - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204106
    You might see one of these alerts:
    “This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons”
    "You can't sign in because your account was disabled for security reasons"
    "This Apple ID has been locked for security reasons"
    If your Apple ID was locked, you can go to iForgot to unlock it with your existing password or reset your password. You can also click the Reset Password or Forgot Password button in the alert. Remember to type your full email address when you're asked to enter your Apple ID. For example, [email protected] or [email protected]. If you use two-step verification for Apple ID, you need to use your recovery key and a trusted device to regain access to your account.
    If you can't reset your password and you don't use two-step verification, contact Apple Support. Update your password in iCloud settings
    After you change your password, you might need to update it in iCloud settings on your devices.

    Click Sign Out.
    Type your new password and click Sign In.
    Email
    If you use an email app to get iCloud email, the app will ask you to enter your new password when you check for mail. If OS X Mail doesn't ask you for your password, check your Mail preferences. For any other mail app, check the app's documentation to get help changing your email password.Update other services, such as iTunes and FaceTime
    If you use your Apple ID in the iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, iMessage, Game Center, or FaceTime, you might need to update your password for those services.
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    Go to Settings and tap the service. 
    Tap your Apple ID. For iMessage, tap Send & Receive and then tap your Apple ID. 
    Tap Sign Out.
    Sign in with your Apple ID and your new password.

  • When I go to update my apps on itunes, it says my account has been disabled. I've done everything I know to do to no avail. I've changed passwords, I've done it all about a hundred times, but I can't get to the bottom of it...HELP Please :)

    Hi,
    I am about to pull my hair out. My itunes account has been disabled............or at least that's what it says everytime I want to update my apps....I can't do it. Then it sends me to a useless web address www.apples.com/itunes/storesupport/forassistance it never helps me. I've changed my password, etc. But I can't get my apps updated or the "Apple" in the sky to fix it...I don't know where to go for customer service....Any suggestions?
    Thanks
    Kathy

    I updated the software on my iphone4 tonight and ran into this same endless loop - "itunes terms & conditions have been changed" - go to itunes, aceept - back to the "T&C have been changed message" with no ability to do anything in the app store until I accepted the new terms.
    While not a very direct solution, I was able to finally accept the terms in a way that seem to register with apple by making a purchase through iTunes on my computer. This forced me through updating my payment information and updating my iTunes software to the latest edition (which I had not yet taken the time to do).  After doing both of these, iTunes took me through the terms & conditions on two separate pages, but ultimately allowed me to purchase my song.  Once I completed these steps, it fixed the problem on my phone, so now I can update my apps and download new ones without running into that loop.
    Hope this helps!!!

  • My Apple ID account has been disabled.

    My Apple ID account has been disabled. Whenever I try to login to my account to update apps on my mac or iPhone, I get a message that my account has been disabled.  If I try to reset my account, I am told to enter the Recovery Key from my two-factor authentication setup.  While I do have two-factor authentication on, I never saved the recovery key.  A few days ago I called Apple Support and they eventually told me that the account would be unlocked unlocked after 8 hours, and then I could try my password again.  This is obviously not the case.
    I'm trying to figure out my next steps. Obviously Apple can't reset my account over the phone.  However, the website seems to indicate that I will have to create a new account. Is there a way I can prove I am the owner of my account?  Like if I brought my macbook and/or iPhone into the Apple store, would they be able to verify my account/identity and open my account?  Also, if I needed a new account, would I be able to transfer my purchases over from my old one?

    I doubt the Apple store could do anything.  They would end up calling Apple support too.  If you called support and they agreed to unlock the account but haven't, call them back.
    Apple officially states that purchases are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them and can't be transferred.  You would have to ask if they could/would do this under the circumstance.

    OK, well you could be infected with something since you are running a three year old OS. Your best bet would be to upgrade to at least OS X 10.7 Lion, but finding that will be a problem for you. I'm told you can order it from Apple at 1-800-MY-APPLE and ask for retail sales. Tell them you have a MacBook (13-inch, Aluminum, Late 2008).
    Again, without knowning what problems you are having, it's difficult to tell you what you need to do. The most recent problems have involved the Flashback Trojan which has caused crashes of Safari and other applications or redirection of your browser to ad sites. There's a tool here which should get rid of that, if you are infected.

  • My AppStore account has been disabled how do I enable it again?

    My AppStore account has been disabled what do I have to do to enable it again, I have changed my password but that didn't work.

    If you've successfully changed your password (does your account work on your computer's iTunes ?) then try logging out of your account on the iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > Store and then log back in and see if it then works.
    Otherwise you might need to contact Apple : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Express Lane, then iTunes > iTunes Store

    It was a genuine email from iTunes, not a phishing attempt trying to get your account and payment details ?
