HT2731 Why does my iTunes account say the credit card security code is invalid?

I'm trying to set up a new itunes account for first time on my new ipad. I've tried multiple debit cards and keep getting an invalid security code error message that will not let me finish setting up the account. Has anyone experienced this and know how to resolve 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 authorizations have the correct information on file.
And/or try contacting iTunes support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/

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.

ITunes states that my credit card security codes are invalid, but they are correct! I know for a fact that the information I've put in is correct, and I have tried three different credit cards; two visa, and one Amex. Same problem for others in 2008-now.

How can I fix this problem? I've tried signing out and back in.
I owe them $1.29 too, from a song, so I cannot select "none" as a payment.
I'm not buying an iTunes giftcard, either.... HELP!
I can't even download any free apps, or update my apps.
Any ideas?

Look, I understand I still need a card attached to the account. The problem is, it won't accept my card because I only have 87 cents in my bank account right now.
If I had known there would be so much trouble with the iTunes card, I would have just put the cash in my bank account in the morning instead of buying an iTunes card (I didn't expect the banks to be open on Thanksgiving of course).
Apple will only accept cards that have a balance. The balance is so small in my account that it won't accept it as a valid card.
I'm going to have to contact Apple anyway to reset the security questions. That's obvious. Your answers were not exactly helpful. You didn't tell me anything I don't already know, but thanks for trying to be helpful.

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.

ITunes can't verify my address to complete a purchase. My iTunes account and the credit card account both have the correct info, What's up?

iTunes can't verify my address to complete a purchase. I went to my account (iTunes) and it has all the correct info. I re-entered everything in iTunes just to make sure and then did the same with credit card account. Still no good. Message "We couldn't verify your address. Make sure you've entered the correct blah blah blah" This account is 7 years old! what could the problem be?

Woooooow, that is the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen... I searched my address and apparently they decided to add a "Rd" to the end of my street name... I've NEVER used that before for my address, but as soon as I typed it into my iPad, it FINALLY let me in. SOOOO silly! Just go to this USPS site and type in your addy. It will verify ALL of your entire address and make you ALL of that is typed into your Apple device, because they have become address Nazi's to make sure everything matches. http://zip4.usps.com/zip4/welcome.jsp
Hope this helps everyone else! Thanks, Athena Carey!

Itunes will not accept credit card security code

I set up my itunes account just after Xmas with no problems. Now I get an error saying my security code on my credit card is not valid. It is valid, and all info is correct. Any help with this?

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.

unable to download apps to my new ipod touch .. message keeps saying my security code for credit card is not valid...please help

Credit card either isn't supported with the purchase or you typed it wrong.
Or just log out, log back in and type again. Could be a system error.

HT4623 Hi why does my itunes always say "error contacting server" when i update my iPhone 5 with the iOs 6.1.3 update

Hi why does my itunes always say "error contacting server" when i update my iPhone 5 (iOs 6.0.2) with the iOs 6.1.3 update?

Hey Tigergirl17,
Thanks for the question. If you haven't already done so, you may want to update iTunes to v11.1 (released on Sept 18th). After updating iTunes, you can then update your iPhone 5 to iOS 7.

HT2534 I should be able to create an itunes account without a credit card but it doesn't give me the option of choosing none; Why?

I should be able to create an itunes account without a credit card but it doesn't give me the option of choosing none; Why?

Did you follow the instructions on that page exactly when you created the account ? They worked for me yesterday on my computer's iTunes when I tried them in response to another thread.
e.g. I logged out of my existing account and found a free app in the store and clicked on its free 'price'
I then clicked on 'create Apple id' on the popup :
And after agreeing to the terms and filling in my details I was able to select 'none' as the payment method.

Some indian store :/
We get posts here, almost daily, from folks from India, who purchase locked iPhones in the US, only to find out they can't use them in India. I've always wondered what happens to those phones...

The credit card used is that registered in the iTunes Store. Open the Store and go to your account. Click 'edit' next to 'payment details' and amend the card details if necessary.
