Hello,


Your issue appears to be one that may produce various iTunes/Media and/or App Store disabled or locked messages which refer you to this support article ➞ If a message says 'Your Media & Purchases account has been disabled' - Apple Support

You must contact Apple to have them resolve this for you. The people on this Community are users like yourself and cannot resolve this for you.


Try clicking on this link provided by Apple specifically for this issue ➞ https://getsupport.apple.com/?caller=kbase&PGF=PGF63005&category_id=SC0245&symptom_id=23362 and choose the self help method, or a contact option. You can also find this link in the support article I provided above.

Thank you for reaching out. 🤗


When "your account has been disabled in the App Store and iTunes," there is an issue with the payment method.


Check your payment method in Settings ➢ [your name] ➢ Payment & Shipping, ensure it’s valid and update if needed. Also, sign out and back into your Apple Account, then try again.


If it still fails, contact Apple Support directly.



Good Luck! 👋🏼😉

There's a problem with your account information which can't be fixed from your end. Click here and send Apple Support a request to enable it.


Disputing an iTunes Store charge with a financial institution is one known cause, but nobody on these boards can say for certain.

If you reported a subscription to be fraud or something of that nature (even a purchase you made -then had your credit card deem it fraudulent) -sometimes they’ll decommission your iCloud (but they can fix this if you speak to apple).
