Update so that all apps are registered to my current apple ID from an email that is no longer valid.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.

  • There's "your blackberry ID account has been locked for security reason" message

    Is there anybody know why there's a message : "your blackberry ID account has been locked for security reason.try again later" when I try to open 'my world' and 'my account' in blackberry app world.
    Before that thing happens,there's install suggestion : 'new ID update is needed.do you want to install it now?' (Or something like that) and I choose 'yes',and after that my decice is restarted then I can't open my world,my account,and I can't download anything in blackberry app world because of that message
    Thankyou before

    same thing with me also,  anybody knows what causes of it, how to solve this problem

  • 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.

  • TS3988 When I try and log into the icloud, I get a message that my Apple ID is valid but not an icloud account. How can i make it one?

    Whin I try and long into the icloud, I get a message that my Apple ID is valid, but the it is not an icloud account, how can I make it one?

    To use iCloud on a PC, you must first set it up using a device with iOS5 or a Mac with OS X Lion.

  • 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?

  • Why is my Apple ID being locked out every time I go to use it?  I haven't even attempted to log in for about 4 or 5 days, but today on my first attempt to do so, it said my account had been locked for security reasons.  This is the third time.

    I only sign in to iTunes' store about once a week or so.  But during each of my last 3 attempts (on different days, several days apart) on my first attempt to enter my password and hit submit, I am immediately told that my Apple account has been locked for security reasons and it wants to take me to a page to reset my 'forgotten' password.  I am using the CORRECT password.
    Perhaps someone else is trying to break into my account or is mis-entering theirs but my account should not be getting locked like this.  It is very frustrating to have to go through the reset password procedure each and every time I want to go into the store.  It seems to me that Apple really doesn't want me to buy any more apps from them as they keep refusing me entry into my own account, each and every time I have tried to use it, for the past few weeks.  I am not their best customer, but they aren't giving me much of a welcome invitation to become one, if I'm going to be treated like this.
    I just bought my iPhone 4 less than 2 months ago.  I paid extra money to upgrade early, just to get this phone because it was so highly recommended by everyone I spoke with in different stores (BestBuy and Verizon).  I even bought the 2 year upgrade to my Apple services in case I needed to ever call them, and so far I haven't had to, yet.  But I definitely will call them if this isn't straightened out.
    It looks like this other user could be tracked and an email could be sent to them from Apple to let them know what they are doing - trying to sign into the wrong account, and are locking somebody else out of their own account because of their error....and to remind them of their correct information or how to get it and to write it down or save it somewhere so they don't keep on doing this.
    I have seen literally DOZENS of other people in these discussions with exactly the same issue that I'm having so it is NOT an isolated incident, and it seems to be a growing problem as Apple's sales and user base continues to grow, so this problem is seriously needing to be addressed in some way, and soon, before they start losing new customers because of it.  If I was still within my original 14 day return period with this phone, I would definitely be returning it and buying an Android model because of how frustrating this is to me.  If my bank was doing this to me, I'd have already switched banks by now if they hadn't fixed it - just to give an example of how I feel about this.

    For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices. 
    That all works.
    It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now.  They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
    I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
    Thanks for listening,
    Melissa

  • "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.
