Why does it say your account is temporarily unavailable?
Your account may be temporarily unavailable if your payment method is unable to be verified, you’ve exceeded any payment limits set by your bank, or if there’s an issue concerning the security of your account.
This is a safety measure to ensure that any unauthorized access or suspicious activity can be stopped. You’ll need to contact your bank or payment provider to make sure your information is up to date and that your payment method is valid.
Once your account status is up to date, the suspension of your account should be automatically lifted.
How do I fix temporarily unavailable on my Mac?
If your Mac is showing a message of “temporarily unavailable”, there are a few things you can do to try to fix it.
First, make sure all of your software is up to date, including your operating system. To do this, open the App Store and click on the Updates tab. If there are updates available, click the Update All button to install the latest versions.
Next, restart your Mac by clicking on the Apple icon at the top-left corner of the screen and selecting “Restart…” from the drop down menu.
If the problem persists, open Spotlight (usually found in the top-right corner of the screen or accessed via the keyboard shortcut Command + Spacebar) and type in “Activity Monitor”. In the Activity Monitor window, select the Processes tab.
Look for a process that has stopped responding and is causing the “temporarily unavailable” message to appear. You can stop this process by selecting it and clicking the ‘X’ in the top left corner of the window.
Finally, if the problem still isn’t resolved, try uninstalling any recently installed applications or updates. To do this, select System Preferences from the Apple menu and click on the “Accounts” tab.
In the list of items click “Software Sources” and then in the list of sources look for “Recently Installed Applications”. Select any of the installed items and click the Uninstall button.
If none of these methods solve the issue, you should take your Mac to an Apple authorized service provider who can diagnose and solve the problem.

Why is my App Store not letting me download apps?
If your App Store is not letting you download apps, it could be due to a few different factors. First, make sure that you have enough storage space on your device, as this can be an easy fix. You might also need to update your device’s operating system, which will help to ensure that the apps you are trying to download are compatible with your device.
Additionally, your device’s Internet connection might be too weak to download the apps, so be sure to check that your connection is reliable before attempting to download them.

How do I fix a disabled iTunes account in the App Store?
If your iTunes account has been disabled due to a security issue or other violation, there are several steps you can take to resolve the issue. First, review Apple’s support document on how to restore a disabled iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store account.
If your account was disabled for security reasons, Apple may ask you to provide additional information to verify your identity. To do this, log in to your account on the Apple ID website and complete the security questions.
If you’re unable to answer the questions, you can contact Apple Support for assistance.
If your account was disabled for other reasons, you may need to contact Apple Support directly using the Get Support option on the Apple Support website. Provide as much information as possible about the issue so that Apple can accurately identify the problem and provide a solution.
If your account is successfully reactivated, be sure to review Apple’s guidelines for iTunes Store and App Store purchases to ensure that the disabled account does not occur again.
Why do I have to wait 90 days on iTunes?
When you purchase content from the iTunes Store, you may be subject to a waiting period of up to 90 days. This waiting period is Apple’s way of protecting its customers from fraud and identity theft.
Apple securely stores your payment information and monitors the purchases made from your account. If anything suspicious is detected, your account is flagged for further investigation. As a result, Apple may require you to wait 90 days before allowing further purchases from your account.
It’s important to note that this waiting period only affects content purchased from the iTunes Store, such as music, movies, and apps. Any content purchased from the App Store, Apple Books, or any other online store is not subject to this waiting period.
Why my account is disabled in iTunes and App Store?
Your account could be disabled in iTunes and App Store due to a variety of reasons, some of which are due to Apple’s policies and regulations, while others may be due to billing or security issues.
If your account was disabled due to Apple policies and regulations, it could be because of your violation of terms and conditions related to activities like cheating, plagiarism, or other inappropriate behaviors in Apple products or services.
Additionally, your account may be disabled due to billing issues such as an unpaid bill, a problem with your payment method, or a declined transaction. In this case, you should contact your financial institution for assistance.
Your account may also be disabled due to security concerns. This could be due to suspicious activities that could indicate your account has been compromised, or Apple may have found a discrepancy between your financial institution and your billing details on file.
If this is the case, Apple urges you to take steps to update your account information, improve your account security and contact Apple Support for further assistance.
How do you unlock your Apple ID?
If you have forgotten your Apple ID password or need to unlock your Apple ID, you can do so using the “Forgot Apple ID or Password” feature on the Apple ID website.
To get started, open a web browser and navigate to appleid. apple. com. Here, you will be able to click the “Forgot Apple ID or Password” link and enter your Apple ID (the email address associated with your account).
You will then be prompted to answer some security questions and/or enter a phone number or email address associated with your account. If these steps are successful, you will be sent an email with instructions for creating a new password for your Apple ID.
Once you have completed the steps to reset your password, your Apple ID will be unlocked.

How long is an Apple ID locked for?
The length of time your Apple ID is locked for will vary depending on the type of issue you are facing. If your Apple ID has been locked due to security reasons, such as entering the wrong password too many times, your account will be locked for a certain amount of time before it’s restored.
Apple doesn’t specify how long this is but some users have reportedly been locked out for up to 15 minutes.
In some cases, your Apple ID may remain locked for a longer period of time. If you have forgotten your password and need to reset it, this can sometimes take up to 24 hours to complete. Additionally, if you are locked out of your Apple ID due to suspicious activity or a security breach, Apple may temporarily lock your account until an investigation is complete.
This could take weeks or even months in some cases.
How can I unlock my Apple ID without the recovery key?
If you want to unlock your Apple ID without the recovery key, you will need to use the “If you forgot your Apple ID password” option from Apple’s Password and Security page at iforgot. apple. com. You’ll need to provide your Apple ID and other personal information, such as your date of birth or the last 4 digits of your Social Security number.
If Apple is able to verify your identity, you’ll be able to reset your password and regain access to your account. If you don’t have access to your trusted devices, recovery key, or other authentication methods, you can still regain access to your account by contacting Apple Support.
Apple will be able to provide more information and help you unlock your Apple ID.
