Invalid security code?

I have bought about 12 games off the app store, but now it asks me to sign in my billing info, the only thing that was giving me problems was the security code, it constantly tells me "Invalid security code" and it's the right one, I know where it is on my visa, I've tried to see if my purchase history is screwed up somehow, but doesn't let the purchase history load, or tell me what's wrong. This is a really irritating problem, and I hope to see if anyone knows about what I'm talking about.

I'm the same issue as well!! Just got my iPod on Friday, so I'm new to all this--but I can tell you the card I used initially was working just fine then. Wasn't until just yesterday that suddenly I had an "unpaid balance" and when I tried to reenter my card number, that was when I got the invalid sec. code error. Even tried a couple of other cards, and still the same error.

  • 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??

  • Invalid Security Code for my valid debit card?

    Really!!!! I guess poor people like me who spend so much money on the **** device first of all (iPhone) and the **** phone bill, have a limit to purchasing "FREE" apps from the app store because apparently, now my apple ID won't accept my debit card information! INVALID SECURITY CODE!!! -____-
    Tried to to work around this stupid obstacle. 1000 times maybe. Tried using my Husband's debit card, my siblings credit card...NOTHING. Still, my apple ID didn't want to accept the info. WHAT TO DO, WHAT TO DO. Not like my whole life revolves around buying apps from the app store via Iphone, its just...THATS WHAT I BOUGHT THE **** PHONE FOR, the benefits...the whole shabang!
    So I discoverved that I could make a new apple ID. How convenient it was for me to make a new email address - a valid one, and make a new apple ID. I scored! GENIUS. The option isnt there though. You need to sign out of your current apple ID and then the option tabs pop up. SMART MOVE. smart *** move.

    Sasha,
         You'll need to contact your bank and make sure that your name and billing address match EXACTLY with the name and billing address on your iTunes account, and if they don't then you'll need to update that information on your iTunes account.  If they don't match then you're eventually going to have the same problem with your new Apple ID.

  • When I tried updating my apps it says invalid security code for my credit card.

    Basically when I try updating an app it says to login. Ok say once I log in it makes me update billing info. When I put my cc info in (which has a 0$ balance) it says invalid security code. This is complete ********, I can't even download FREE apps OR update the ones I have. Im considering going back to android. This is ridiculous.

    you cannot place a card on the account that has no balance to it...
    you can hit the "None" option if you owe nothing to the itunes store

  • HT204266 How come my credit card says invalid security code when I put my code in at the App Store?

    How come my credit card says invalid security code when I put my code in at the App Store? I have a bunch of free apps when I had my ipad 1 now I have 2 and my credit card will not be read as authentic Watson ever I tried my girls card nothing do I need to have money on it for a free download? I even bought a couple of games but why with so many free ones? Please help me I'm slow so walkit through with me thnx also my ipad 2 is brand new out da box and I accidentally updated to 6.0 without finding out first about it so some pointers to it would help ...which I think that it has something to do with it.

    Is the address on your iTunes account exactly the same (format and spacing etc) as on your credit card bill : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1646 ? If it is then you could try what it says at the bottom of that page :
    If the issue persists, contact your credit card company and verify that they and any company they use to process credit card authorisations have the correct information on file.
    And/or try contacting iTunes support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
    For iOS I would expect an updated version of the manual to appear here at some point : http://support.apple.com/manuals/ipad/
    In the meantime there is this : http://www.apple.com/ios/whats-new/

    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?

  • New iphone 5, Invalid Security Code - frustration !

    I have been buying itunes apps and music for close to 9 years with my visa card. Today, after getting a new iphone 5 last week I bought my first game. That is, I tried to and entered a nightmare. I get a warning for invalid security code, and when I want to give an answer to my security questions it won't let me. I called apple support, and I can't find a way to enter a new credit card or any card. I used to pay with paypal connected to my bankaccount. Now all of a sudden it tells me that iphone 5 does not support paypal anymore.
    I can not find how to change my security code questions, nor can apple support. They can't get into my account because the security code on the back of my card is not matched. Tried with several different cards (which I don't really want to do - I want to continue to pay itunes stuff with paypal like I have done for the last 9 years).
    The apple rep will call me back next week, so for now I can not buy any app nor music on my phone... I can work around it and buy via itunes, but that is not what I want. I want to buy stuff wherever I am, that is why I got an iphone after all, to use wifi and be able to buy stuff on the move.
    It looks like there is a giant bug in IO6 that has to do with paypal, credit cards or debit cards. I do have enough money in my account...
    I do not understand why all of a sudden I need to give in security answers to questions that I never saw before and therefore also don't know what answers to give. The answers I give are the truth but they come back as wrong.
    My visa card comes back with an unmatchable security code on the back with the card number on the front.
    What is going on with visa cards and apple IOS6????
    Also, as long as the apple rep can not pair the card, there is no way to change the security questions, and as I can not give the right answers to the security questions they can not get into my account to change a thing.
    If they can not verify that I am the person who I say I am they can't do a thing...
    Before last week and the arrival of my new iphone 5 I never had problems like that.
    What is going on???????

    Do you have a balance owed?
    Try setting the payment option to None, save it then enter a good CC number.

  • HT204053 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."

  • Invalid Security Code during application download in Appstore

    I want to download watsapp messenger to my iPhone 3GS but when i proceed to buy app option in App store it shows that your payment method is declined.
    Again when i update my payment information it shows invalid security code while all info is correct.

    Remove your credit card details from your account then re-enter them.
    If that doesn't work you could try contacting iTunes Support: go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; select 'iTunes' in the first column and then 'iTunes Store' in the second column. In the third column click 'Purchases, Billing & Redemption' and proceed from there.

  • 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.

  • Invalid Security Code problem...

    Ok, this is now a real problem. I'm trying to change the credit card in my Itunes account. I'd like to buy a few things, which I haven't done in a while.
    I enter in the new card, and walla, it pops up with "Invalid Security Code". Except I know the code is valid, and having just purchased a song at Amazon to test, I know the card is activated and good.
    So, what's the deal? Argh! So frustrating that I can't get this card to enter!!

    They will have no choice BUT to lose customers. If people can't pay for anything, how will Apple make any money?
    I'm having the same problem too. I've tried 3 different credit cards, 2 different computers, an iPhone, an iPad, and the exact same thing. From what I've been reading, this is a problem that has been going on for a looong time. I'm surprised they haven't fixed it yet.
    I've sent an email and received no response. I called support and was on hold forever. I gave up waiting and hung up.
    I've changed my information in the Apple Store page. Credit Card verified there with no problem. Changed my info in my .me page. Credit Card verified there, too.
    Same info. Same billing address.
    I guess I'll just have to return my iPad and demand a full refund, because it's completely unusable now.
    Thanks for nothing, Apple!

  • Google, Yahoo searches come back " Invalid Security Code" msgs?

    Now when I do a Firefox Search (whether Google, Yahoo, etc), I get a "Invalid Security Code" / "Issuer Certificate is unknown" error message train. I can't understand why these sites would produce this result but am afraid to override the error message worrying about some kind of malware interference problem.

    hello, a possible solution depends on different factors:
    * what is the '''error code''' shown under ''technical details'' on the error page?
    in case the error code equals ''sec_error_unknown_issuer'', please attempt to add an exception on the bottom of the error page (don't add it for real though) & inspect the certificate like shown in the screenshot
    * which '''issuer information''' does the certificate contain?
    please report back with this information. thank you!
