Security codes
The credit card security code is a unique three or four digit number printed on the front (American Express) or back (Visa/MasterCard) of your card.

    What can I do, iPad disabled/lockout and iTunes keeps asking for password, I cannot restore...iTunes grays out backup and restore but my iPad and iPod shows on Apple etc..???

    Try and force iPad into Recovery Mode:
    1. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
    If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
    2. Connect USB cable to computer, leave the other end alone
    3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPad
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
    5. Release the Home button
    6. Open iTune
    7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode"
    8. Use iTune to restore iPad
    Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad

  • I can't change my apple id password because my security answers don't match. It won't give me any other options and just keeps asking for the answers. What do I do?

    Contact the Apple ID Security site from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699 or call the AppleCare support number from http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 and ask to speak with the Account security Team.

  • I dont know what wrong with my Apple ID , when i tried to updated my apps and the always asking for payment?

    i try to updated my apps and download free apps but my Apple id keep asking for payment, the exacly massage is " before you can make purchases you must tap OK , then verify your payment. before i used to have NONE but after i buy some Apps i put my debite card number. after that i want to change to be none again but None is not show... now i cannot update anything or even download free apps

    I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
    The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account.  I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there.  On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back.  Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email.  The device is currently useless.
    The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
    Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

  • Won't le me download from app store/itunes keeps asking for password

    Everytime i go to download something, it asks me to sign in, and it keeps asking.

    Apparently this is a known issue and Apple is working to resolve it as quickly as possible. Don't try to change your password or account, you will have to just retry to download tomorrow.

  • Trying to buy a game, but it keeps asking for billing info.

    Hello, I recently tried to buy Napoleon: Total War, but cannot. I have enough money and my apple ID is valid but something is wrong. Every time I click on the buy button under the app, it asks me for my billing info, as per usual. Then it brings me to a screen with my billing info and everything is OK (yes, I selected no credit card). After I click 'OK' to the billing, it asks me if I would like to continue with my purchase, so I click 'buy', then the process repeats itself. It asks for my password, the billing info, and so on and so forth.
    This was never happened before and is extremely frustrating. Not only is the app expensive but I can't even download it!
    Please help.

    How much credit do you have in your account? How much does the game cost? Is this in the US store? US store prices do not include local sales taxes. If you do not have enough in your account's balance to cover both the cost of the game and the local sales taxes that are added to the sale in the final steps of the purchase, the system will ask for a credit card to cover the remaining balance due on the sale.

  • I am trying to restore a backup and itunes is asking for a password, but i don't remember being prompted to provide a password when the backup was created

    I have been trying to use my Apple ID password but it is not valid for the request.    

    You were prompted for a password the first time you backed up after checking "Encrypt backup". It has been using the same password ever since. If you have a corporate MS Exchange account on the phone and the administrator required the phone to be encrypted then that also resulted in the backup being encrypted, but again you would have been prompted for a password the first time you backed up after installing the Exchange account. So think back and start trying passwords that you might have used in response to a password prompt at that time, especially if you didn't read the request carefully.

  • TS1389 itunes keeps asking for re-authorisation to play purchased songs.  Apple suggestions do not help.

    I have iTunes 11.1.5.  I think this problem started after I updated iTunes.  I cannot play anymore the music I had purchased from iTunes.  The suggestions on the Apple web site do not work.
    They were
    * Make sure you authorise the computer using the correct name that you purchased the song
    * Update your software
    I have tried them.  I am using the correct ID and my software is up-to-date.  Besides, I could play them before.
    What goes?  Is this a problem only for me or is it more common?
    Why isn't there any credible competition to iTunes and Apple TV?  They do not deserve the market dominance they have.

  • 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.

  • Problems with iTunes/ipad2  I'm trying to buy FREE apps and I'm being told my card is declined but I also have more then enough credit on my account! Anyone having this problem?

    Problems with iTunes/ipad2  I'm trying to buy FREE apps and I'm being told my card is declined but I also have more then enough credit on my account! Anyone having this problem?

    Part of the validation for credit cards is that they need to be registered to exactly the same name and address that you have on your iTunes account, which prepaid cards tend not to be. Do you have a proper credit card that you could use ? Or are iTunes gift cards available in your country so that you could try using them as your payment method ?
    Until you have a valid payment method on your account and what you owe iTunes has been paid off then you won't be able to download any item from the store, including free apps (and updates to apps).

  • HT201303 I believe I put my credit card number in wrong now trying to buy an app and I can't bc my security code don't match what do I do?

    No. Apple is not in the credit bossiness.
    You can create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.

  • HT204053 I forgot my answers to my questions. I am trying to buy an app and it says i need to answer my security questions but i forgot my answers. Can i change them or somehow find out what my answers were?

    I forgot my answers to my questions. I am trying to buy an app and it says i need to answer my security questions but i forgot my answers. Can i change them or somehow find out what my answers were?

    You'll have to reset them.  Go to https://appleid.apple.com, click on manage your account on the right, sign in, click on Password and Security on the left, look for the link to reset your security questions to the right.  This will send a reset email to your rescue email address.

    trying to sync iphone 4 and itunes keeps coming up with "itunes cannot sync apps to the iphone because the apps installed on the iphone could not be determined"?

    Same issue. Is this a new bug with iTunes 10.5.1??
    Anyone know of a solution?
    I reported it to Apple on the feedback page, but, I'm pretty convinced that Apple doesn't listen to or read their feedback. http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
