TS1424 My Apple id has been disabled. I am not able to download any applications and also my old apps which I had downloaded I cannot use on any apple device of mine. Can someone help

My current apple id has been disabled. When I download any apps I keep getting an error
" APPLE ID HAS BEEN DISABLED"
I have contacted Genuis Bar and they restored my iphone to the factory setting and all of my old apps which I had on my machine are also gone. They did an icloud backup restore but that also does not allow any apples to be added to my Apple device - Iphone.
They gave me a spare phone to check if my phone was corrupted and no that is not the case.
My apple id has been corrupted. How do I contact Itunes to fix the issue.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
When your account becomes disabled, Apple provides the following recommendation:
"This message means that someone tried and failed to sign in to your account multiple times. The Apple ID system disables the account to prevent unauthorized people from gaining access to your information. You need to reset your password, following the instructions at the Apple ID website".
Visit iForgot.com and follow the instructions there.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > store, scroll down and tap your ID)
If that doesn't help you might try contacting Apple through iTunes Store Support

  • Just bought a new iPhone and am having trouble with iTunes and App Store. I can log in to Cloud, iTunes, and app store but once I try to download, it says "Youe apple id has been disabled". I've reset my password three times and have no issue on my Pad.

  • HT4528 Howdy.  I keep getting a message stating that my apple ID has been disabled.  I recently contacted my CC company, AMEX, for several fradulent iTune charges, which is probably where the problem first originated.  How can I resolve this issue?

    I had to dispute several unauthorized charges to itunes. My apple id was disabled after that. I followed jarnoldus's (older post) advice and it worked. Im duplicating his entry here with a few modifications. I hope this works for you.
    1. Go to https://getsupport.apple.com
    2. Choose your product (mine was ipad)
    3. Click the "iTunes, App Store or iBooks" icon
    4. Click "Apple ID account security"
    5. Type in "apple id has been disabled"
    6. Choose your country (mine was US)
    7. Choose the "talk to apple support now" option
    8. Provide the info they request (name, email, phone number)
    9. They will call you right away.
    Explain your apple id has been disabled. The rep will connect you to an iTunes rep. He/she will look up your account. You will be required to answer your 3 security questions. You MUST get a minimum of 2 correct. If you succeed they will enable your id. Good luck!

    If you are still unable to access your account after resetting your password, you will need to contact iTunes Store Customer Support via http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/

  • I have 2 ipad 2s.  On the newer one I can log in and update to IOS 5 with no problem.  On the older one I get the message "Your Apple ID has been disabled."  Why does it work on one ipad and not on the other?

    I have 2 ipad 2s.  On the newer one I could log in and update to IOS 5 withno problem.  On the older one I get the message "Your Apple ID has been disabled." No other explanation.  Why can I log in on one ipad and I'm disabled on the other?

    Well, I spoke too soon.  Yes, I'm using the same account on both iPads, but I just changed my password for the umpteenth time and now I get the disabled message on both iPads.  Just yesterday I was able to upgrade one to IOS 5 but got the error message on the other.  I'm getting more confused by the minute.

  • My iPad shows a pop-up window in the update apps of "your apple id has been disabled. ok"  I have gone to the manage id and changed to a new id. Still get the disabled window???

    "your apple id has been disabled. ok" 
    I need to know how to get past this window in my updates screen for updating the apps.

    Going to need to get in contact with the iTunes store team; if it doesn't mention for security reasons it's something apple has to talk to you about.

  • HELP!!!!  -  "Your Apple ID has been disabled"

    When I try to download and install an app on my iphone 5, I am getting the following message. "Your Apple ID has been disabled".. I went through the iphone settings and used iforgot to reset/change my applie ID.  After the reset/change I could go via my PC and sign on to the Apple Store but I am still not able to download and install an app on my iphone 5.  I still get the message "Your Apple ID has been disabled".  Does anyone have a fix for me?

    When iTunes provides the user with the message that your apple id has been disabled this is giving the user the message that for whatever reason the apple id login has been disabled from using the itunes store or app store.
    Please contact apple support at 800MYAPPLE and ask for itunes support to enable your apple id. IF there is an issue with an outstanding balance with the itunes store you will be asked to take care of this prior to having your apple id login in enabled. You will not know specifically what the issue is until you contact the itunes store.
    Good luck.

  • 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.
