Your account may be disabled in the App Store and iTunes for several common reasons:
- Entering the wrong password too many times triggers Apple's security to lock your account temporarily to prevent unauthorized access.
- If you haven't signed into your Apple ID for an extended period, your account could be locked as a precaution.
- Billing issues such as unpaid bills, disputed charges, or invalid payment methods linked to your Apple ID can cause the account to be disabled.
- Security concerns arise if Apple detects unusual activity, such as multiple sign-ins from different devices or locations.
- Technical glitches or restrictions in your settings (like content and privacy restrictions or in-app purchases turned off) might also cause the issue.
To resolve the problem, you generally need to verify your identity and reset your password through Apple's account recovery process (using iforgot.apple.com), update payment methods, or contact Apple Support for assistance if the issue persists. Sometimes turning off VPN, enabling two- factor authentication, or logging out and back in can help reset the account status as well.
