Credit card code issue

im having problems with my account it is saying that my credit card security code is wrong but it isnt, what do i do?

HOW TO FIX "INVALID SECURITY CODE" PROBLEM:
Since apple's "customer support" consists of a whole bunch of ******** derelicts who blame you or your credit card company for this message, I had to take it upon myself to figure out a way around the problem.  All you have to do is change your billing information in iTunes from your credit card to PayPal.
I was getting this same ridiculous "invalid security code" message when I knew I had entered it correctly!
It's funny, because PayPal recognized it as a valid account and security code, and now all my apps finally work again.
Open iTunes
Go to the Store
On the right, click on "Account"
Next to "Payment Type", click "Edit"
Click the PayPal logo and either enter your existing PayPal account info or create a new one (as I did)
I'm not a fan of PayPal, therefore I never had one.  I created one really quickly and even used the same account that mysteriously stopped working.  (AND WITH NO PROBLEMS... THANKS, APPLE)
I really hope this helps anyone with this same problem as it is really frustrating when somebody **cough cough apple** tells you that you're doing something wrong when you know you're not, and takes no liability whatsoever when the error is on their behalf.
Happy Apping.... For now

  • Why won't iTunes store save my credit card code?

    I have to re-enter my credit card code each time I make a purchase through the iTunes store on my laptop (PC) running Windows XP.  Why won't iTunes save it?

    Is it actually prompting you for a credit card, or just asking you to verify billing details? Due to recent security issues and identify theft (mostly due to phishing scams), the iTunes Store seems to be requiring more frequent verification of billing information, even if you have a balance from a prepaid card. Go into the Payment information in your account and set the payment method to "none", if it's not already, which should then stop the regular requirements for verification. It may still ask - mine did for a while - but you should just be able to click through the buttons without problems.
    By all means, though, if you prefer eMusic, use that service.

  • Credit Card Payment issue in Firefox

    Hi All,
    We have implemented, SAPu2019s Business package for ISA 5.0 SP14 connecting to ECC 6.0.
    And have implemented online payment options for various types of credit cards.
    The credit card data and validity gets validated via 3rd party system which authenticate the card details and the control comes back to ISA application, in this process if the card is not registered for secure code authentication then the card payments is successful, but if the card is registered for secure code (3D secure) then firefox is not able to redirect the page correctly and the screen becomes blank with no option to go forward or backward.
    When this credit card option is tried in Internet explorer, the payment is successfully for any type of card supported by our application. The screen correctly redirects to the security page and then to the 3rd party URL and at the end the control comes back to our application fine.
    We are using JSP page to perform this action. This form is hidden from the customer, the action for this form is specified as the u201Cthird party Urlu201D so that the contents of the form are posted to that URL.  The target is specifed as the name of the iFrame so that the authentication step is displayed within the iFrame.  The contents of the form are the AuthReq, a free-format merchant descriptor
    and the Term Url that the issuing bank should re-direct the customer to.  In this case the Term URL specified in another jsp valid.jsp page, which is a page that displays no content to the customer, and so displays in the iFrame as blank for a second, and then posts
    the AuthRes back to this page, when the actual index jsp then reloads and processes it.
    I would like to understand, whether there is different way to handle hidden form or ifrmaes for Internet explorer and firefox.
    Thanks in advance.

  • How can I use itunes store credit with Apple TV without the credit card code?

    I would like to allow guests in my home to use the credit in my iTunes account to purchase movies and TV shows on the Apple TV in my guest room.
    Unfortunately, it seems that in order to make a purchase they will need my credit card security code.  If they have this, then they could purchase an arbitrary number of movies, but I would like to limit purchases to the credit in the account.
    Is there any solution here?  How can I give my guests an Apple TV "allowance" (not a monthly allowance, a one-time allowance) and not give them my credit card security code?

    You can't really do this with an already existing AppleID from what I know. Now, if you don't have an AppleID, here's the run-down of how to do it:

  • Credit Card update issues

    For the last month, I have been uable to update my credit card info on-line. I keep getting a an error message that the service is not available at
    this time. When I call phone support, they take my name and Adobe ID info, tell me to hold on, then transfer me back to the main menu once I tell them I have a billing issue. Please advise!

    Ok, so this is my story.
    Tried to use web site to update information for several weeks - didn't work WEB SITE BROKEN
    My billing period was approaching so I called support - took over an hour but they sent me to billing and they said they corrected it
    Checked 24 hours later and the account information displayed on their web site was old and incorrect
    My billing date came and I got a notice from Adobe that they charged my card for my monthly billing - they billed the correct updated card!!!
    Returned to the web site to view my account information and it is still incorrect - WEB SITE IS STILL BROKEN but my account has been correctly charged and I still have an account....
    Adobe web sites should be a showcase for their products. If a web site is compromised and broken and Adobe can't seem to get it fixed it doesn't say very good things about their products and supporting infrastructure.
    Good luck to you all....

  • Credit card billing issues

    i have replaced my old credit card with a new one and Skype didn't place it in the system. It requested a security code which was supposed to be sent to my cell phone but I haven't received the code via text yet. What should I do?

  • Credit card update issues.....that old chestnut :(

    I have been trying to update my credit card details via Adobe.com but to no avail. There is NO LINK......no edit details ...nothing!! I sign in using the correct info and navigate to my products and services > scroll to my subscriptions and the only clickable text is 'manage'. So I go ahead and click away and it takes me to Subscription details where it tells me my photoshop/ Illustrator subscription is processing and in red text tells me to go update my credit card details as my card is expired. I would if I could and have tried  for the past few days. There is no 'edit billing' link to click. I have been on the phone with customer service for the woman to tell me 'try again in a few days there is nothing I can do.' I have sat on the online customer service for what seems like forever for it to keep popping up and telling me I have one person ahead of me and it may take 2mins and 47 sec to get to a service person. Longest 2mins 47sec I have ever experienced.
    Adobe all I want to do is update my card details so I can pay you money to use your unreal software...it cant be that hard can it???
    Please tell how me I can do this before my products cease to work!

    Hi Purpledragaon,
    I'll report the Edit Billing option being missing for you. I'm sorry for the inconvienence.

  • On my iPhone, the app store won't accept my credit card code. The thing is that it worked before and now it doesn't work. Now I can't download or update apps. Does anyone know what to do?

    I have a visa card and i used it on my apple ID and now the AppStore won't accept my code so now I can't update or download apps. Please help!!!! :(

    This has happened to me in the past a couple of times.  I can't say i have a definitive answer for you, but i believe it is a problem with the iTunes servers.  I would recommend shutting off all devices connected to the account to be sure you are completely disconnected, then turn one on, connect, and try again.  That worked for me last time i had the problem.  The first time i just gave it a day and it was taken care of. 
    Good luck.

  • Credit card Payment issue - Customer was not charged

    This one is a strange one...Please help me
    Invoice # 15025278 was created yesterday for $96.39.  Amex cc info was on the order, so charge should have processed automatically.  As of yesterday, only $90.98 charged and cleared leaving a balance of $5.41 still open.  My understanding from when we asked why invoices get split into 2 or 3 charge transactions sometimes is that the pre-auth $ amount doesnu2019t match the invoice $ amount, so the system charges the original pre-auth $ amount and then has to get another pre-auth for the remaining balance before it gets charged separately.
    The problem here is that the system has not charged the balance.  In fact Iu2019ve never seen this before, but if you look up the invoice on VA03, it doesnu2019t say u201Cclearedu201D, it says u201Cpartly clearedu201D.  should I just charge the balance manually to clear?
    Thanks,
    Kishore

  • Having only foreign issued credit cards.  How can I pay?

    Hi,
    I am living in Hungary but all my credit cards are issued in the Netherlands.  How can I pay in the App Store?
    (I have Hungarian bank accounts too but I am not willing to pay for an extra credit card just because the Mac App Store doesn't accept mine!)
    Thank you for your help,

    If your iTunes Store sells iTunes gift cards, they can be redeemed to purchase apps.  Keep in mind the gift cards must be redeemed from the same country where they were purchased.
    Make sure your see the Redeem link under Quick Links right side of the App Store window before purchasing a gift card.

  • Can't Add Credit Card (submit button doesn't work)

    Hey. Recently come across a problem trying to add my credit card so I could buy a Twitter app that works with Twitters new authorization.
    The submit button doesn't work. It is still there, but it is unclickable, it doesn't load up anything, or do anything. It doesn't change to being clickable at any time.
    If it helps, I have the Palm Pre, I'm with O2 (UK).
    Can anyone help?

    This sounds like a credit card related issue. Has anything about your credit card changed, like a new expiration data? You can go to App Catalog, tap the drop-down menu, select Preferences and Accounts, then choose the account name, enter your profile password, tap continue, When the Edit Credit Card screen appears, re-enter the credit card number and confirm that the remaining info is valid or enter any new information, then submit.

  • Can't update credit card information

    I have updated the credit card information for our cloud account multiple times over the last few days.  I have been on hold for almost 2 hours.  Chat is unavailable. 
    I have tried all the instructions, including clearing the cache and using different internet browsers.
    This needs to be addressed immediately.  I can't have my entire business negatively impacted by this anymore than it already has.
    Please someone get back to me.
    PS - I have been on hold for over two hours now.  Seriously, not appreciating this situation at all.

    Well.. I posted this in another thread. I am posting here as well so that ppl who face this issue can get some help.
    I had the same credit card processing issue. Called the Adobe Helpline in my country. Was able to speak to a CSE after spending some horrible minutes with the IVR. He too faced the same problem when tried to update my credit card details. He admitted that there is some internal issues in the website. Finally he did something else and said that the details are updated now (I am guessing that he used another internal channel / portal to update my payment details). Assured that the processing will take place in next 2 hours and there shouldnt be any issues after that.
    Here is the country specific helpline numbers

    Will update if there is any progress.

  • Repeated itunes credit card fraud attempts

    Due to ongoing credit card fraud issues with the itunes store, I'd  like to remove my credit card from the account and strictly use itunes gift cards.
    Is this possible?

    I tunes surely have the IP addresses of these people
    Actually no, they almost certainly don't. I very much doubt that Apple does, or even can in any practical way, track and log the IP address for every transaction. Even if they did:
    and can give this to the police,
    the police would have to request the information. Whether they have I can't say, but depending on UK privacy laws it might take a court order before Apple could release any information about users. And even then, the police would have to go to extensive lengths to try and find the culprit; first tracking down which ISP manages that particular IP address to find out any location from an IP address. And then working with the ISP (again perhaps requiring a court order) to identify where that IP address is. And that would be assuming that the location wasn't just some Internet cafe or other anonymous location as is most likely.
    While I understand your frustration, it's just not realistic to expect the police to take that much time away from more serious crimes to go to all the effort of tracking down what is probably a minor (relatively speaking; I'm sure it's not minor to you) crime. Sorry, but your best, and perhaps only, recourse is to work through the fraud department of your credit card issuer and hope that they will indeed label the purchase as fraud and reverse the charge to your card.
    Good luck.
