Why is my apple ID disabled on my iphone?

When I go to update my apps on the iphone it states my Apple ID is disabled.  But I can get into my account on my Mac.  What is goin on?  Appreciate the help.  I have tried resetting my password and creating a new account, etc.

If changing your password does not solve then contact itunes support

    i would like to know why is my apple id disabled ?

    Bzzzz -- Sorry...you listen about as well as Apple Tech Support.  Where did you see me ask anything about my password?  I know darn well what my password is.  Assuming (it's a big assumption I know) that people like myself use a password with at least 8 characters, alpha-numeric, Mixed Case, with special characters...there are probably... a trillion? possible password combinations.  My device isn't disabled. Only my Apple-ID is disabled...which means I can't access iCloud via the web...or iTunes on my Laptop or My AppleTV or my iPhone.  Exactly how do you connect your Apple TV to your computer and perform a restore?  Assuming I do a "factory reset" on My AppleTV that doesn't mitigate the problem of having my Apple ID disabled.  I simply asked Apple to remove the lock-out flag.  Their iforgot webpage doesn't work whatever reason...so I did a CHAT with tech support -- and then a PHONE CALL, and EMAILS  many many emails...that explain that due to some security software update currently underway that Apple is incapable of re-enabling my account.  It has been over two weeks...and they still report they can't do this. I can verify my identity. I know the credit card number etc attached to my account.  They could enable the account and REMOVE the credit card number if they like.  I can easily re-add it....once I have access to my account.  If you give me your iPhone...I can try to download an app or make an in-app purchase -- it will require your password which I do now know.  If I do this 4 times your account is locked out...it should be for 72 hours?  --- but apparently...right now....it could be indefinietly. As in "no end in sight". My only recourse is to create a NEW apple-id account....and everything I've bought under my old-id would probably be unavailable.  Go ahead... try it.... key n the wrong passcode until your account is locked...then I can watch your frustration if after two weeks you are no closer to getting it re-enabled when you know darn well what your corect passcode is.

    WHY IS MY APPLE ID DISABLE?

    These are user-to-user forums, nobody on here will know.
    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 then try logging out of your account on the phone by tapping on your id in Settings > Store and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on it

  • Why won't apple put memory storage on iPhone, iPad?

    Ok why can't Apple include memory storage to their devices?

    Apple does "include memory storage" on their devices?  If you mean why do they not include some form of user expandable storage, then the answer is because they do not.  Any speculation as to why Apple does or does not include a specific feature is not a topic for discussion here, as per the terms of use.

  • Why doesn't Apple list the changes in iPhone updates?

    Why doesn't Apple list the changes included with each iteration of iPhone updates? They always post a detailed list of changes for all other major software updates. I wonder why the same is not true for the iPhone, leaving us all guessing and wondering...

    Just to add, Ansuz82 pointed out, Apple's track record is that they don't really ever give full published details about what their updates include in any of their products really. If the iPhone is your first product by Apple you may not be aware of this. To them, saying Bug Fixes is enough. If they publicly add more info, it means they really wanted to get that point out. eg: the 1.1.1 mainly just talked about iTunes WiFi store. 1.1.2 mainly talked about the Tiff exploit fixed and keyboard updates for languages. However, with all, a lot more does get changed than just the key points mentioned. And by a lot, I don't mean a lot that you will see. Have to remember, they are still ironing out the OS for the iPhone. A lot of changes to them is just cleaning up and fixing known bugs that many of us as users may not even know exisit (though we see the outcome of them when apps colide and crash each other).

  • Why is my apple ID useless on my Iphone?

    Get an Iphone you can use all these great apps they said. Gee wouldn't it be nice if I could actually use my apple ID login on my Iphone? It never works. I think one time in one hundred attempts it has worked. If this wasn't my only phone and if I didnt' have major health problems i would have smashed this thing into one thousand little pieces from the shear frustration of the login never working.
    NO, I'm not an idiot. I've held passwords since before most of you were born. I used to have to remember five combinations just to get into my work, with armed guards surrounding the buildings. So...yeah, what the **** is going on here, maybe my phone is just defective?
    Anybody else having serious problems logging into their apple ID with their Iphone? Do I need to wait 24 to 48 hours after changing my password of something? What's the deal? I have even waited a couple of hours after password change and still it doesn't work. So I'm asking here if anybody has heard of anyone else having major problems with logging in.

    I would go this route and let Apple handle it.  http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/

    My Apple ID is disabled.

    We re fellow users here on these forums, we won't know why. You might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
    You might then need to log out of your account on your phone by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Stores and then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on it
