What can I do if my Apple Acount is blocked now for security reasons? I didn't use my Apple Acount from one year ago and now it looks that is blocked. Thank you.

You will want to reset the password for that account. (use iForgot (iforgot.apple.com) to reset your account)
See: Apple ID: 'This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons' alert appears

  • Can't activate iPhone because Apple ID is locked 'for security reasons', can't reset Apple ID because need iPhone to receive two-step activate code!

    So here's an interesting one...
    I have just updated iOS on my iPhone and it came up with the activation prompt. I entered my iCloud email and password and it told me that my account was disabled for security purposes.
    This happens quite regularly as my iCloud account and I constantly get the account locked out as other people mistake it for their account.
    The procedure to unlock my account is to visit iforgot.apple.com and select the 'Reset your password' option, enter my iCloud email address, two-step recovery key and then nominate my iPhone to receive a two-step authentication code.
    The problem is my phone won't receive the authentication code because it needs activation! My iPad is also listed but also won't receive the authentication code, I expect because my Apple ID is disabled!
    Having read the support article regarding what to do when you can't receive the two-step authentication code it says login to your apple id account and manage the list of devices! You what!? I can't login because my account is disabled.
    It seems there is a complete design flaw here in that I can't activate my phone without unlocking my Apple ID and I can't unlock my Apple ID without activating my iPhone first!
    I've spoken to Apple in the past about this and their response was to login and manage my devices and I pointed out that I could not login in because my account is disabled. They then basically said there is nothing I can do! Really? They won't unlock my Apple ID because they don't have the ability to do so.
    If I'm not mistaken my iPhone is no longer fit for propose and if I can't sort this I will be visiting the Apple store and asking for a replacement as basically my device is bricked. I guess I will have to create a new Apple ID and will no longer be able to get to my email on the old account!?
    Any folks on here has similar issues or any suggestions?

    I have something similar going on, but not exact.  I basically have a useless phone here because I restored the phone but supposedly when my son's father redid the phone years ago for our son he added the phone to HIS apple id (on find my phoen supposedly) which he no longer has nor uses.  I need said apple id and pass to finish restoring the phone.  Maybe we should all get together and pile all our bricks in front of apple headquarters so no one can get out of the building and they have to stay there until they fix this.  :-P 

  • Can't restore apple id ,you were blocked for security reasons, but to restore the need to enter the key after typing it sends a 4-digit code on the ipad , but at ipade I am not connected to icloud ,and to connect you need to recover your account

    can't restore apple id , because apple were blocked for security reasons, but to restore the need to enter the key two- step werification . after typing it , apple sends a 4-digit code on the ipad , but at ipad I am not connected to icloud ,so i cant get code . but if i want to recover apple id, i need to  connect icloud, so what to do? help !

    I have (sorry forgot to add that). I was switched around and finally I was told I would be put through to a supervisor but after being on hold for about 10 minutes the phone went dead, I did not lose connection so I do not know if I was hung up on or there was some technical difficulty. I called again yesterday and did in fact speak with a supervisor for Account Security but he told me he did not know why it was happening and put me through to a different number but that ended up not being any helpful either. That's when I decided to give it a shot on here!

  • I can no longer import pictures to my ibook (OSX version 10.6.8) using iphoto 09 version 8.1.2 and now get message that file is in an unrecognizable format.  What is wrong?  Same camera as before.

    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • HT201238 My account was not automatically upgraded to an new annual plan, I got it one year ago and I got a message saying my Icloud storage was full and I that I only had 5gb free. What can I do ?

    Thanks Winston, thats the first thing I wanted to do but I dont see any Annual Plan (like I had), only monthly plans, and they said that as I got a Storage Plan before September 2014 I would be "automatically" updgraded to a new annual plan with reduced pricing. Dont know how I can get it now.

  • Bought an app one month ago. Now it demands that I repay the subscription fee for it. Tried to report problems on iTunes and just get referred back to Apple Support website. What do I do?

    Micromedex Drug Interactions. The app itself is free. A one year subscription costs $9.99. It worked fine for a month. THen an "update" was automatically installed and it now demands a new $9.99 payment. Thank you.

  • I have a first generation MacBook Air that has been refurbished via the Apple store. I installed Snow Leopard about a year ago and now, my computer wont update! It will download the updates restart my computer, but then I get an error message!

    I have a first generation MacBook Air that has been refurbished via the Apple store. I installed Snow Leopard about a year ago and now, my computer wont update! It will download the updates restart my computer, but then I get an error message and the computer wont restart!

    What is a error message and what do you see when it appears?
    Haven't much problem with Airs around here, since they have a SSD they tend to be more reliable.
    Perhaps it was a bad update, have you ran through this list of possible fixes?
    Do as many as possible, starting with #1. Until the problem is resolved.
    Use the boot 10.6 USB instead of the disk of course.

  • I bought an iPhone 4 from apple 2 years ago and I am looking to get the factory unlock code how do I go about it?

    I bought an iPhone 4 from apple 2 years ago and I am looking to get the factory unlock code how do I go about it other than go threw your network provoider?

    Contact the wireless provider to which the iPhone is locked to see
    if they offer unlocking and if you qualify. Only the wireless provider
    can unlock the iPhone; Apple cannot. There is no other way besides
    going through your network provider.

  • Apple ID is *disabled for security reasons*, I know the username and password, but don't know the Security Questions and Recovery Email? Help!

    I used to have the @apple.com apple ID. Everything was working fine, but then one day I entered my password and it was incorrect. I tried to reset it but nothing was working. Then I tried to "forgot my Apple ID" on iForgot and found that it was automatically changed to @mac.com. I entered my Apple ID and Password but then it gave me "your Apple ID is locked for security reasons". I tried resetting my password but I don't think I had put any recovery email and apparently I entered a wrong Date of Birth.
    What should I do to re-access my Apple ID?
    Many thanks!

    Thank you randers4,
    I just got off the phone with apple.
    I have to call 800-MY-APPLE and try to verify my Apple ID using my old password and a serial number from a device on which I used my Apple ID. Oh and @apple.com never existed, I have no idea how it got on my phone :|
    Hope it works

  • I downloaded Aperture 3 from the App Store one year ago, it now asks for a serial number, where can I find this?  Thanks.

    Hi...
    Since it's been a year since you download the app, delete the app then re download.
    Best to use a utility that will not only remove the app but all the associated files > Download AppCleaner for Mac - Uninstall your apps easily. MacUpdate.com
    Then redownload:
    How to re download apps from the Mac App Store:
    Open the App Store. From the menu bar click Store > Sign In
    Click Purchases from the top of the App Store window.
    Select which apps you want to re download. Then right or control click where you see Installed  then click Install.
    Make sure and use the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.

  • Hello everybody, I have the following problem: my apple id was desabled for security reason and I have to reset my password to enable the account again, but when I try to do this, using the e-mail, I've never received such e-mail. When I chose to do

    Hello everybody, I have the following problem: my apple id was desabled for security reason and I have to reset my password to enable the account again, but when I try to do this, using the e-mail, I've never received such e-mail. When I chose to do this by the security answers, it's not work again, because does not accept my birth date. Can you please somebody help with this issue? Thanks in advance

    If you have a rescue email address on your account then you've checked the inbox and spam folder on that account as well, and you've tried requesting the email again ? If you still can't find it then try contacting Support in your country and see if they can reset it for you.
