My account needs updating but will not accept my card security code

My account needs updating but will not accept my card security code why?

As of today, I'm having the same problem. My iTunes account has been up and active for a long time using the same card, then suddenly the security code isn't valid. I've double checked all the info and it is correct, but iTunes refuses to accept it… I also tried the article linked above, but it is no help at all. There is no option to select "None" as a payment choice.
Just to be very clear: I've been using my iTunes account to make purchases with this exact card since 2009, my bank info hasn't changed since 2008, my card is not expired, and the security code is correct.
If anyone comes up with a solution, I'd appreciate hearing about it. I can't even get the free updates to my apps since my payment info is busted. Grrrr.

Itunes will not accept credit card security code

I set up my itunes account just after Xmas with no problems. Now I get an error saying my security code on my credit card is not valid. It is valid, and all info is correct. Any help with this?

Make sure the address on your iTunes account is exactly the same as on your credit card bill (i.e. same spacing).

Itunes will not accept a valid security code for my debitcard

Itunes will not accept my debit card info it keeps sayin that my security code on the back of my valid card is invalid.. Ive looked online an ive done what other people had said to do but nothing worked

You have to make sure your iTunes address and your cards billing address are exactly the same (including capitalization and spaces).
Or you could just run off gift cards.

I have been using my DEBIT card for over a year but recently I had to update my billing information, since then it will not accept my card. All the information is correct, it's just telling me to visit iTunes support. Can someone help me? Much appreciated

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."

Itunes is asking that I edit payment info, but will not accept any changes to allow me to purchase music? I have changed cards, reentered information, uninstalled and re-installed Itunes. Nothing is working, what do I need to do?

See HT203206: iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues.
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

My ipod touch is not syncing properly. I have updated the software to the latest (2.2.1) and have even resored it. Itunes says it is working and updated but will not sync and apps. Error message says that app will not sync because a newer version needed

My ipod touch (model A1213) is not syncing properly. I have updated the software to the latest (2.2.1) and have even resored it. Itunes says it is working and updated but will not sync and apps. Error message says that app will not sync because a newer version needed.

2.2.1 is not the latest available for any ipod touch.
Is yours the original ipod touch?

Ever since I updated to Yosemite my mac book pro keeps asking for Apple Id and password but will not accept them

Ever since I updated to Yosemite my mac book pro keeps asking for Apple Id and password but will not accept them. What can I do?

Try the advice here. I had the same problem and it worked for me.
You have to delete the "SC Info" folder from /Users/Shared. You will have to use Terminal to enable you to see this folder first. Make sure iTunes is not running when you delete the "SC Info" folder
There is an article from Apple on this here. The "SC Info" folder contains iTunes authorization information.
I did this two weeks ago and iTunes accepted by login. I haven't been asked for my AppleID or password since.

I worked with an apple tech, tried several things, and then she suggested I contact Mozilla support.

WorldMate loads, but will not accept WLAN

My Nokia E71-2 without a SIM will load WorldMate and ask for city and country and accept it, but will not accept my WLAN connections at home. My home WLAN works fine for all other E71 applications. WorldMate is loaded in the add on memory card. Phone has 200.21.118 and is RM-357. Thanks for any input.

Hadimasa mentioned in an earlier post that Worldmate would not work with Wlan for him. This is a little strange as I regularly use it with Wlan.
Anyway, if what Hadimasa say is true then maybe that is why it is reporting no connection because you do not have a sim card in it. Why not try it with a sim card? If it works then you would have confirmed Hadimasa's hyphothesis and it may be worth contacting Worldmate to see what they have to say about it.
I downloaded and installed it again with version 7.00.43 and it works with WLAN. Could their have been an update? Madison wrote about a password? At startup, you have to give an e-mail address, name and the city you live in. but I haven't seen anything about a password. I'm getting old, maybe I'm missing something ( in my head).

I bought an iPhone 5 but does not accept sim card.How to do?

I bought an iPhone 5 but does not accept sim card.How to do?

Exactly, what do you mean by "does not accept sim card"? Are you saying you purchased a carrier locked iPhone & you can't use a sim from a different carrier? If so, that's the way it works. Carrier locked iPhones can only be used/activated on the carrier's network the phone is locked to. Either return it for a refund or contact the carrier the phone is locked to to see if they offer official unlocking.

Ipod touch will not remember wi-fi security code, how do I correct this issue?

My Touch will not remember the wireless security code.

I have been fighting this same issue where the iPod appears to not retain the security password to connect to the WI-FI when the iPod was shut down for a period of time.
In my case it appeared that my wireless router was not seeing the name of the iPod with the associated mac address. The IPod device name on the router was showing as "Unknown"
Verify the name and mac address (Wi-FI address) of your iPod via General/About
View the wireless status entry on your router to make sure there is an entry matching that of the iPod.
In my case the iPod mac address was there, with the incorrrect name "Unknown"
My solution was to Reset the Network on the iPod and shut it down.
I then power cycled my router clearing the Wireless status entries.
Wait for the Wireless router to come back up.
Power the iPod back on let it find the preferred network and re-enter the security code.
This appears to have corrected the issue for me.

I have changed my password and it is verified on my desktop computer but will not accept any password on my ipad after updates
