Apple id Disabled

Hello, I have a problem with my phone.

When i try to update apps it says “Your account has been disabled in the Itunes and App store” but I can still make downloads.


I tried creating a new apple id and the problem is not fixed..

Creating and attempting to use a different AppleID account will not help - and may actually compound any difficulties that you may have.


For your specific issue, this support page should provide the information that you need:

If your Apple ID is locked or disabled - Apple Support



Be aware that an AppleID account is intended to be used for life. If you need to change the primary email address that identifies your account, or your secondary (recovery) email addresses or trusted telephone numbers, you simply need to update your AppleID account as necessary.


Change your Apple ID - Apple Support

Change your Apple ID password - Apple Support

What to do after you change your Apple ID or password - Apple Support

Change, add, or remove Apple ID payment methods - Apple Support


Few of us will have the luxury of forever keeping the same email addresses or telephone numbers - sometimes these needing to be changed for a variety of reasons. However, updating our AppleID account, maintaining access to our data and purchases, is easy and relatively straightforward - accommodating life’s many changes as they occur.


Changing to and using a completely different AppleID account can introduce many complications and issues - including losing access to existing paid Apps, subscriptions and services - these being forever tied to the AppleID account from which they were purchased.
