Why your Apple ID account has been disabled in AppStore and iTunes?

We sign up an Apple ID to use and access Apple products and services, such as all Apple Online Store and AppStore, iCloud and iTunes account data, iMessage and FaceTime, Apple Music and more. When we download app or purchase from AppStore, we need to enter the Apple ID password to authorize this operation. If you see a message that says 'Your account has been disabled in the App Store and iTunes’. What's the reason of the case? How to fix it?

Top 4 reasons that your account has been disabled in the AppStore and iTunes.

 

1. Your payment method is declined in the AppStore or iTunes Store.

It means that your payment method couldn't be charged or an unexpected charge in your account.

2. Your Apple ID account is locked for security reasons

If you or someone else enters your password, security questions, or other account information incorrectly too many times, your Apple ID automatically locks to protect your security and you can't sign in to any Apple services. You can unlock your Apple ID after you verify your identity.

How to fix: you can go to iforgot.apple.com to unlock your account with your existing password or to reset your password. After multiple unsuccessful attempts to unlock your account, your Apple ID will remain locked and you can try again the next day.

3. Your Apple ID account is abnormal and frequently logs in on some unauthorized devices.

If you have ever entered your apple ID and password on a phishing site, your Apple ID account may be compromised.

How to fix: a. Check your Apple ID device list to see where the Apple ID signed in. Got to iPhone Settings -> [Apple ID], scroll down iPhone screen.
