Invalid Security Code/Being charged and not receiving app.
Well, This just started happening after I downloaded the new version of iTunes. I needed to change my billing info, just like it seems everyone else has been doing and getting the same problem I have "invalid security code", You know the nice little 3 digit number on the back of the card? Yea, well I had used this card with iTunes once before and it worked perfectly, it is a pioneer debit mastercard. Now, the thing thats ******* me of really bad is (no, not that its not accepting the security code) I've been charged for buying an app I have yet to receive. So this is telling me there is a flaw in the programming some where, to be told by the program that my security code is wrong while at the same time deducting money from my account and not providing me the application.
Now, the thing thats ***** me of really bad is (no, not that its not accepting the security code) I've been charged for buying an app I have yet to receive.
Really? It is showing up in your iTunes purchase history?
Or is there simply a $1 hold showing up on your card, to verify the account is good?
iTunes does this whenever you enter new card. The hold will be removed usually within 24 hours.

Changed bank card. Got charged $24.99 from iTunes for a prior purchase that would not go thru due to invalid security code. When put new information on iTunes payment . iTunes charged my account without me confirming order and I didn't even receive the zoo buck 50% sale special. They just took my money . Now I can't connect to iTunes Store because they are fixing problems. What can I do to get my money . Can't even reach tiny zoo who gets the money. iTunes should of sent a confirmation request when new card was submitted before taking money.
Thanks, but I've been on the phone with AppleCare US (where I am and live) and AppleCare UK. They continue bouncing me back and forth without helping resolve the problem.
Perhaps someones knows how to further escalate the issue at Apple? -
I am entering everything over and over and correctly each time, and it still says invalid. I don't want to call apple themselves cause I can't deal with them, I've tried to so many times and no help. This is downright ******* me off and I want it fixed. Help?
What sort of card are you trying to use ?
If it's a debit card then I don't think that they are still accepted as a valid payment method - they are not listed on this page and there have been a number of posts recently about them being declined
If it's a credit card then is it registered to exactly the same name and address (including format and spacing etc) that you have on your iTunes account, it was issued by a bank in your country and you are currently in that country ? If it is then you could check with the card issuer to see if it's them that are declining it, and if not then try contacting iTunes support and see if they know why it's being declined : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page -

To change asccount information see:

For the code issue this may help.
iTunes Store: My credit card's security code or zip code does not match my bank's records
For a standard iTunes account you need a valid payment method even for free apps and app updates.
What is making it think that you own money for an app upgrade? -
I recently had to cancel my debit card because of unauthorized purchases on Facebook. I have tried to update with 4 different credit cards and every time I get a message saying invalid security code. How do I fix this?
Debit card? Are you sure?
USA iTunes Store does not appear to accept debit cards - http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/us/terms.html "The iTunes Store, Mac App Store, App Store, and iBookstore services (“Services”) accept these forms of payment: credit cards issued by U.S. banks, payments through your PayPal account, iTunes Cards, iTunes Store Gift Certificates, Content Codes, and Allowance Account balances." -
A USB plug picture is on my screen with an arrow pointing to ITunes. When I connect the Ipod to my computer, it is locked and is asking for
a security code. I do not know the security code.Place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore it via iTunes. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore -
I'm trying to update my application and it is asking me to change my billing account it is not accepting the security code. I am not trying to buy an application just to update and install free apps

THERE NO LICENSE. I am paying for a one year membership (paid 10 months and have not add access to creative cloud) So I recently had to request a month trial period which I am currently using. Please explain that?! Can I please have a telephone number for the North Africa Middle East Region so that I can discuss this matter with someone? Why is this so difficult. For 10 moths I have heard different stories and today after insisting they send me the reply they promised me 1 month ago I revived this wishy washy response:

Try doing a reset on your iPad by holding the Sleep/Wake button and Home button for ten seconds and release and you should see the Apple logo come and power on. Check out the articles below for further troubleshooting options.

Invalid security code for iphone 4
I'm not sure if I am posting in the correct area of this page but oh well. I recently received a iphone 4 from my husband. And after having the phone for one week, I could not download any apps to my phone because of billing info or invalid security code. Here's what worked for me. If you do not have any money on the card, it will continue to display invalid security code. Hope this helps. Good luck!!!
I'm having the same issue. But why the **** is it all of a sudden requiring a legitimate credit card just to download FREE apps? Or even UPDATE free apps??

When I try downloading a app it says invalide security code, now I know for a a fact that this is the right security code and I do not know how to fix the problem what do? please help me!
The 'invalid security code' error you are receiving doesnt necessarily mean you have entered your security code wrongly. It's hard to make a mistake if youre only typing in 3-4 digits. It may either be an issue with your bank, or an incorrectly formatted billing address. You can either contact your bank for details why yor card was rejected, or go to the Apple ID website (http://appleid.apple.com) to see if you entered your billing address correctly.
NOTE! If you have a U.S. billing address, you have to make sure the address on your account matches EXACTLY what the U.S. Postal Services has. You can get the EXACT CORRECT FORMAT here: (http://zip4.usps.com). Type in your billing address, and USPS will show you the correct one.
Hope that made sense
