HT1918 It says my security code is invalid

Why is it saying my security code is invalid when it's correct?

The same thing has been happening to me, if you have a PayPal account you  can bypass it. And my account is linked to my card anyway so it still comes from the same place
Only fix i can find but its working great for me, i can update download and purchase
The option to change it to PayPalnis only availible on iTunes on the computer under account and billing info

  • HT1918 Why is Apple saying my Security Code is invalid when it's not?

    I want to get an app that's free, but Apple tells me to sign in for billing info. I put in my Security Code, correctly, but when I hit Done, it says the security code is invalid.

  • HT1918 It keeps saying my security code is invalid

    I have tried to buy apps and even download free apps and it keeps popping up with my payment information. It says my security code is invalid which it is not. I've even cleared all my information and entered it all again. This is really frustrating for me and could really use some tips!

    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

  • HT1918 I want to change my payment info but it keeps saying my security code is invalid. What does that mean?

    I want to change my payment info but it keeps saying my security code is invalid. What's the security code?

    The security code is the 3 or 4 digit code on your card - on most cards it's on the back of the card on the signature strip, but on some cards (e.g. Amex cards) it's on the front.

  • I've been trying to update my apps but it keeps asking me to update my billing info. I retyped everything from my card and it keeps saying my security code is invalid.  Any suggestions?

    I've been trying to update my apps but it keeps asking for my billing info so i retype everything and it keeps saying my security code is invalid when i know its not.  It is same card they had on file before and the same security code but now it wont take it and i cant update anything. HELP!

    If you're positive the information is correct, ask the issuing bank why the transaction is being rejected.
    You're getting this error because the store can not authorize the card with your bank.

    If the App Store doesn't recognize your password, you should try to log into iTunes on your PC and make sure your password still works.  If it doen't work there you may have been hacked and you will need to get in touch with Apple directly. 

  • Why is Apple saying my security code is invalid?

    I would like to buy the OS Lion software through the App store but when I sign in using my Apple ID and password, I get a message telling me that this Apple ID has not been used with the I-Tunes Store. Please review your account information.
    So I go to review account information and fill it out completely.
    When I submit it, I get a message back saying my security code is invalid.
    I know that the code is right and have been using this card and code with other companies with no problem. But for some reason I am having trouble with Apple.
    What gives?
    What can I do?

    Try this...
    Quit the Mac App Store.
    Launch iTunes. From the menu bar click iTunes / Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
    Click: Reset warnings and Reset cache
    Click OK.
    Go to the menu bar again click Store / Sign Out.
    Relaunch the App Store. Try again.

  • 3 debit cards, updating, and my phone won't let me download apps or music because it says my security code is invalid no matter what I do. Help!!

    I don't know wha to do. When I try to get apps (even free) or music on iTunes (even with my gift card), a notice pops up saying there was a problem with a previous billing purchase, then it takes me to my card info and address and no matter what it always tells me my security code is invalid. I've gone through 3 cards (all worked to purchase items from a store or anything) and I've even updated my phone when i was told that I had to do that before I could download anything. I can't figure out what the problem is. PLEASE SOMEONE HELP!!
