Payment card security code?

payment card security code?

It's asking for the 3 digit number on the back of your credit card BUT if your card has a negative balance, it'll keep asking for the code until you have funds available on your card or you enter a new credit card. 
NOTE:  It'll do this even if you're trying to download a free app.
A few years ago, you could download as much apps as you wanted even if you didn't have the funds.  It would realize your card was declined after a few days and then block you from purchasing apps until you entered a card with the funds to pay them for your purchases.  Now it's different.

  • 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.

  • Why iPhone 5 keeps asking to input credit card security code when downloading free applications?

    Why iPhone 5 keeps asking to input credit card security code when downloading free applications?

    To download apps, even free apps, you usually need the payment information associated with your Apple ID. You most likely have your credit card name, billing address, card number and expiration date already on file or you would be asked for these too. Apparently though your security code is not on file with your Apple ID. To avoid being asked each time to download an app go to your Apple ID and edit your payment information to include the security code.

  • Problems renting movies/credit card security code

    We have 2nd gen apple tv.  We tried to rent a movie tonight and we kept getting the credit card security code screen.  We would enter it and...nothing would happen.  It would go back to the rent screen.  So, we went onto our itunes and tried to put the security code in there.  No luck.  How can we rent movies through apple tv?

    Similar issue here... I have an iPhone 4, an Ipad 2 and recently acquired an ATV 2.
    I have no issues renting movies on My Ipad or IPhone, when I try to rent a movie on my Apple TV 2 it promps me to say that may credit card security is invalid and suggests that I go into my Itunes account and enter correct CC security code. I have done this step a few times - went into Itunes, entered the security code in the CC section and yet it still won let me make a purchase on Apple TV. I have even gone so far as to remove my credit card details and re-enter them.
    The only one thing I did notice on my account screen was that Itunes is detecting that a new device has been added to my account... which happens to be the Apple TV, and now we come full circle !
    Any advice and tranquillizers would be welcome

    I have a problem with app store , they say my credict card security code is incorrect but it's correct

    Did you check to see if your credit card has expired or has been frozen? My dad bought some hardware from Canada and it froze his card because it was an out of the country purchase. He called the bank and they turned it back on.

  • Two step verification credit card security code refused

    Most infuriating. I've completed one set of two step verification with our common credit card & security code for my wifes Apple ID. The same CC & security code work just fine in itunes & the app store. But do you think I can get past the credit card security code screen (below) for my Apple ID. I've double checked the CC number and security code, retyped it 4 or 5 times with the card sitting on the keyboard. No typing error. I've tried 3 different browsers having emptied the caches and cookies. No, Apple refuses to let me in. Why?? Any ideas.
    While I'm here, has anyone noticed the strange "area code" for the SMS-enabled phone. Area codes for mobiles don't exist as far as I'm aware. I've never h=eard of an SMS enabled landline either.I fudged it. It took three permutations to get the mangled mobile phone number into the right boxes! Bizzar. I think Apple is loosing the plot...

  • Itunes won't accept my credit card security code

    Itunes repeatedly asks for my credit card security code. I know the code that I am entering is correct - as is my billing address. This has been happening since I had to update my card info as my old card had expired.
    Each new device (and I have MANY Apple Devices)  - iPads, iPods, iPhone, Macbook, when purchasing an app, etc. triggers a new request for verifying billing info. At this point, even though I am entering the same, accurate information. I am getting locked out from new purchases and I am in an endless loop of requests for my security code. Should I request that my profile is reset?  Thanks in advance for any advice.

  • Why does Apple TV ask for my credit card security code??

    Tried to rent a movie all day. Cannot get passed Apple TV asking for my credit card security code. Entering it does not work, changing the credit card in itunes does not work. Am able to rent directly on my phone (there's a wasted $6 but was curious if was itunes or Apple TV). What is going on???

    Thanks diesel....tried that as well, but failed to mention it in my OP. No luck. Also rebooted, unplugged, reset, etc....no luck as well. It has to be something on the ATV though since it rented just fine on my phone. I have 13 $1 pending charges on the 2nd credit card I tried, so it was looking, just not verifying.....strange. Have to think it wouldn't be my bank though, since again, renting on my phone went fine.
