Updating payment method and download apps on a disabled Apple Account

Hello,

The problem with dealing with it the way you did was your card was considered to be bad or compromised and so Apple will not accept it again as a payment method. You need to get the card re-issued.

If a message says 'Your Media & Purchases account has been disabled' - Apple Support read that eponymous support article if you see that message or one saying: “You cannot login because your account has been locked.” This is not something anybody on this forum can resolve for you. Tap or click on this link and choose the self help method, or a contact option ➞ https://getsupport.apple.com/?caller=kbase&PGF=PGF63005&category_id=SC0245&symptom_id=23362 .

or for additional telephone contacts refer to: Contact Apple Support - Apple Support

Use the above resources I provide to contact Apple instead of starting at the top level general support link at Contact - Official Apple Support . The special contact link I provided is the most direct contact method to get to the right people at Apple and it is the one Apple suggests you use. I am saving you the trouble and time looking for it. 😉

If it is another reason, post with more details.

If your Apple Account is locked, not active, or disabled - Apple Support
