HT204266 How come my credit card says invalid security code when I put my code in at the App Store?

How come my credit card says invalid security code when I put my code in at the App Store? I have a bunch of free apps when I had my ipad 1 now I have 2 and my credit card will not be read as authentic Watson ever I tried my girls card nothing do I need to have money on it for a free download? I even bought a couple of games but why with so many free ones? Please help me I'm slow so walkit through with me thnx also my ipad 2 is brand new out da box and I accidentally updated to 6.0 without finding out first about it so some pointers to it would help ...which I think that it has something to do with it.

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
For iOS I would expect an updated version of the manual to appear here at some point : http://support.apple.com/manuals/ipad/
In the meantime there is this : http://www.apple.com/ios/whats-new/

  • When I try to sign in to the App store, I get a message that says "An unknown error has occurred" and I cannot sign in.

    When I try and sign in to the App Store, I get an error message that says "An unknown error has occurred". The Apple Store told me to contact Apple Care which I did. They determined it was not an issue with my computer and thought it was an issue with the App Store.
    They had me contact the iTunes Store instead of the App Store because they said that was the technician I needed. The iTunes Store rep told me there was no issue with my iTunes account and told me "The issue could have been temporary, related to your internet connection, your local network, or your computer itself."
    This issue has been happening for a few months and as I said above, Apple Care said it was not my computer.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    Restart your Mac then try again.

  • TS1702 I deleted an app but when I try to reinstall it on the App Store, it still says open

    I deleted an app but when I try to reinstall it on the App Store, it still says open

    Are you deleting by tapping and hodling down on the icon until it wiggles? Have you tried to deleting in in the settings? Settings>General>Usage>Storage>App(name)>Delete App.
    Try deleting in the settings and then reset your iPad. To reset rhe iPad, hold down on the sleep and and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the apple Logo appears on the screen.

  • HT201303 when I try to do updates in the app store it keeps asking for my credit card info and telling me that my "security code is invalid".  it obviously isn't.  how can I fix this issue?

    I have 3 Iphone 4's.   One of them updates from the App Store with no issues.  My other two which are under the same AppleID will not let me do updates.  when I try it asks for my Credit card info then after i enter it it says "security code invalid".   Has anyone else had this issue and how have you fixed it?
    thank you 

    Leigh...
    but cannot do this because I cannot access Mac App Store
    If you can't access the App Store from the Apple menu, Dock, or Applications folder installing the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo will reinstall the App Store for you.
    It's ok to do this even you are already running v10.6.8.

  • HT4009 How come my credit card charged, but could not use iTune?

    my credit card got charged, but no idea how to use iTune, please either refund to my credit card or send me instruction,

    You are not stupid. It's not that at all 
    I think what through me is that this app I believe is for an iOS device such as an iPhone or and iPad ?
    I see an app in the iTunes Store that's called:  TIMER : MINUTES TO GO   for $.99.
    Is that it? You only pay one time for the app. If you need to re download the app you can do so for free.
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    It can be confusing where to post questions for apps. If you look to the right of where it says Welcome and your user name top of this window just above that you'll see:
    Apple Support Communities >  Mac App Store > Using Mac App Store
    That means this forum is for apps designed for Macs for the Mac OS X.

  • My Apple ID is disabled. Earlier this month fraudulent charges were made, and have now been resolved. But when I tried to buy something in the app store, it says my Apple ID is disabled.

    I have gone to the apple website and changed my password already. I logged in on settings on my phone with my new password, and a box popped up saying I needed to verify my credit card. When I go there, it says I am disabled still and I can't do anything. Then when I go to the app store, it still says my Apple ID has been disabled. Please help! I am technology impaired...

  • I have been working on a document in Pages 4.3 and now it tells me I can not open the document unless I upgrade to Pages 5.2. When I look up Pages 5.2 the App store says "installed" nor can I find a "purchase" or "install" button.

    My OS is 10.9.3.I've been working on a document in Pages 4.3. Now is says I can not open the document unless I upgrade to Pages 5.2. The Pages 5.2 page in the App store says "installed" nor can I find a "purchase" or "install" button. How do I get Pages 5.2?

    If you have already updated to Pages 5.2 on your Mac, you may be trying to open the file with a previous version of Pages. If this is the case, you have two versions of Pages on your Mac & are trying to open Pages 5 documents with Pages 4. Are you launching Pages from an icon in your Dock? Installing the update does not change the Dock icons & it does not remove the older versions. Go to your Applications folder & launch the new Pages from there then right-click on the Dock icon & select Options > Keep in Dock.
    Installing new versions of iWork has never replaced existing versions. This is nothing new. The only thing new is that the '09 apps are moved to an iWork '09 folder if they were purchased from the Mac App Store. If they were installed from disk they should already be in a separate folder in Applications.

  • How do I update iMovie from 08 to 11 without having to pay for 11 at the app store?

    I have a pretty old Mac laptop, probably 1st or 2nd generation and I had to bring it to an Apple store for them to upgrade my operating system. Now my Mac version is 10.6.8 and I'm still using old programs on it like iPhoto 08 and iMovie 08. When I open up up iMovie, a message always comes up about iLife 11 which I would like to download as a whole so I can use the updated programs but I can not find the webpage where I can easily download iLife. All I really want is to upgrade iMoive from 08 to 11 but the only option I'm getting is to buy the app for about $15 from the app store. I already have iMovie and I shouldn't have to pay for the same app which just an updated version. Can someone show me step by step where to go and how to get the update for iMovie 11 or iLife 11 alltogether?

    You have to pay because iLife is only free when you buy a new Mac.  Its not part of the operating system.
    $15 is a bargain for what you get.
