Apple / iTunes account disabled, but won't recognize the email either.

I can't update my app and then it gets worse... it's an old email that is connected to my apple account and when I try to get customer service at ALL... I am getting blocked and it says "contact iTunes" because apparently my app store and iTunes and apple account has been disabled... but without it even recognizing or allowing me to use my old email, I can't even reach customer support. Infuriatingly frustrating. Any ideas?

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 “request reactivation” link in the support article I provided above.


If the special link does not work, try contacting Apple using a method provided at the bottom of this page —> Contact Apple Support - Apple Support


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! 👋🏼😉

If your account is disabled in the App Store and iTunes there is nothing we as fellow apple users can do I am afraid
