HT1918 What if your security code isn't accepted
I was trying to update my account and when I put in my security code and it keeps telling me the code is invalid
What do I do?
Hi..
Might not be just the security code > iTunes Store: My credit card's security code or zip code does not match my bank's records

HT1918 what is the security code?
what is the security code??????
All credit and debit cards have a Security code on the back, or front. it is a three, or four, digit number that sets your card apart. the reason the Security code is important is so that identity thieves cannot hack your card info with just the 16 digit card number on the front and it also allows you to purchase things without swiping and putting in a pin such as for online items from iTunes and other sites. Visa, mastercard, and Discover card are the brands that have a 3 digit number on the back right hand side by the end of the signature line. American Express (AmEx) is the only card company that uses a 4 digit number located on the front above the 16 digit card number.

If it's a debit card that you are trying to use then I don't think that they are still accepted as a valid payment method - they are not listed on this page and there have been a number of posts recently about them being declined
If it's a credit card then is it registered to exactly the same name and address (including format and spacing etc) that you have on your iTunes account, it was issued by a bank in your country and you are currently in that country ? If it is then you could check with the card issuer to see if it's them that are declining it, and if not then try contacting iTunes support and see if they know why it's being declined : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page -
HT1918 What is the security code I can't access
What is security code in payment information? Before i can access my account but now it needs security code before I can purchase.
It usually refers to the 3 or 4 digit code on your credit card, which is quite often on the back of the card on the signature strip, though on some cards it's on the front : credit card security code.

What is the security code on credit card
I am trying to purchase a book. I try to put Credit Card security card # in to no avail. What am I doing wrong?
If your card's security code isn't being accepted, then is your iTunes account address exactly the same as on your credit card bill e.g. spacing and format : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1646 ?

HT1620 What is the security code?
What is the security code to install the latest iPhone update?
The iOS upgrade is seeking whatever code you use to unlock your iPhone or iPad device; your device passcode or PIN or password you're using to secure your device.
This to avoid somebody random poking buttons and unexpectedly upgrading your temporarily-unlocked device.
If you've forgotten the PIN or password that you had originally configured to unlock your phone, there is a reset sequence. -
What is my security code on phone
the security code that I know is right it keeps saying wrong
There is no way for anyone in the forums to know what your security code is. I believe that Verizon can reset it for you though. Just use the chat or give them a call.

This is a link to the Wikipedia Page that tells you where the code is located.

You can also get this info on the Payment Page by hovering your mouse cursor over the blue and white question mark in the Payment section.
I hope this helps? -
HT1414 How do you recover your security code when purchasing extra moves on games
How do you recover your security code when purchasing extra moves on a game?
Do you mean the passcode for Settings > General > Restrictions so that you can turn in-app purchases back 'on', or something else ?
If the Restrictions code then was it on the iPad when you last backed up ? If not then you can restore to that backup and it should be removed. If it was on the iPad when you last backed up then the only way to remove it is to reset the iPad back to factory defaults and you can then re-sync your content back to the iPad - you won't be able to restore to the backup as that will keep the code in place.
If you mean a different code ... ? -
WHAT IS THE SECURITY CODE I'M LOST
what is the security code i'm really lost
Secret code for what? Do you mean forgotten passcode? If so you need to restore with the computer and iTunes you used to back it up, so the restore will remove the passcode.
