ITunes not accepting any of my credit cards

I have tried 5 different cards and repeatedly re-entered the billing info and each time I try to purchase a gift certificate I am told the card was declined. All the cards are valid and useable. What is the problem?

Same problem here. The iTunes email help desk led me through several attempts to get around to problem, to no avail, and finally escalated the issue to their Tier 2 technical support. As of this moment, I have not heard any results, but they said it may take a few days to resolve.
I checked with my CC company and they said I was in good standing and NO verification attempts against my card had been made, although supposedly iTunes would have to do that before they would decline a card.
As many of you, I tried several cards, and the Apple Store rep also tried his! All cards were immediately declined, indicating that there is some sort of broken link or block in the iTunes system.
The big issue with me is that I cannot update (or buy) any apps for my iPhone, nor new iPad, which I bought specifically for a presentation that I am giving next Tuesday. I certainly hope they fix it by then.

HT2105 Itunes not accepting security code on credit card

I go to update apps or down load them, I am asked for the security code from my credit card. When I type it in it tells me it is involid, I have used this same card before and have had no problems.

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/

Itunes will no longer accept any of my credit cards. Says security code doesn't match with any card I use. I have inputted new card info in the apple store area and it still says the same thing in itunes. Customer service is no help at all.

Itunes will no longer accept any of my credit cards. It says vcode doesn't match when it does. Customer service is no help. I have re-inputted the info in the account section of the apple store and in itunes--still says vcode doesn't match.

I have a gift card but when I try to redeem it will not accept any number on the card. Which number am I suppose to use?

I have a gift card but when I try to redeem it ask me for a code number, I am not sure which number to use but have tired all three that are on the gift card but none have worked. Can anyone tell me which number to use.

If it looks like this: click here then use that code. If it looks like an "O" it is actually a zero.

ITunes not accepting my new credit card details

My bank recently suspected some hacking activity, so just to be sure they issued their customers new (VISA) credit cards. The numbers are the same, only the security code changed. I proceeded to change these details in the iTunes Store, and I got the message:
"This card cannot be used with the iTunes Store. Please use another credit card."
Sadly, I don't have a credit card collection. This is my only credit card, and need to be able to link it to my account. I've written Apple Support a number of times now (If any Apple Support people are reading along, its case numbers 616319324 and 615607991.) But I'm not getting any response except their lovely message saying they've received my question, and they'll be in touch.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to proceed?
Tnx!

Hi King_Penguin,
I did. I removed the old card, and selected the 'none' option. After exiting and logging back in I reentered the new details, with the same error message coming up. I never had any trouble with my purchases or unauthorised ones. I've been using the card for other things in the mean time too, so it's not that. I think it has to do with Apple having my old card (which has the same number, but different security code) on file, which maybe causes a conflict with my new one.
As I said, I've tried to get in touch with Apple via getsupport.apple.com, but no succes....

Itunes is asking that I edit payment info, but will not accept any changes to allow me to purchase music? I have changed cards, reentered information, uninstalled and re-installed Itunes. Nothing is working, what do I need to do?

See HT203206: iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues.
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

Itunes not accepting credit card

So for about the last month I have been trying to update a credit card onto itunes but it has responded with "processing of credit cards currently unavailable". I was wondering if this is a problem with the store or an error on my part, thanks.

I had the same problem. My issue was unrelated to iTunes. The problem was that my Ethernet ID address was changing from the hard-wired MAC address listed on the back of my cable modem to an incorrect address belonging to Broadcom Corp. (maker of my iMac's ethernet nic card and bluetooth controllers, etc.).
Whenever I went to the iTunes store, I got the same credit card verification errors. If I shutdown my iMac, rebooted my cable modem and then turned on the computer, the correct Ethernet ID was listed and I could go to iTunes without any issues. The problem is still unresolved, but at least I know a workaround for now.
See the following discussion for more details: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12826975

HT5622 I want to use free apps on my Ipad and do NOT wish to submit a credit card to Itunes. My Apple Id works, but won't let me migrate past the credit card phase in itunes. I don't wish to sumbit or use a credit card because I will not make purchases.

I want to use free apps on Ipad 2, but it continually asks me to submit a credit card in Itunes. I do not wish to purchase anything apps or music. I am only interested in free apps. If I were to make purchases, I would use a prepaid card like an itunes card or an app card, but NEVER a credit card. I can't seem to bypass this option of using a credit card and need to. I have another Ipad 4 and have never needed to use my credit card to migrate past itunes to use any apps. How do I get past this credit card request and still use my ipad 2. According to my Ipad 2, if I don't plug in a credit card, I can't even use free apps which is stupid.

You can create an iTune and App Store account without credit card details
1. Sign out of current Apple ID if you are sign-in to one (important)
2. Go to App Store and select a free app
3. Tap INSTALL APP
4. Create New Apple ID
5. Confirm Your Country
6. Agree with Terms and Conditions
7. Fill in your Apple ID and Password (you must create a new Apple ID; don't use your old Apple ID)
8. Create and answer your secret question
9. Select NONE for Payment Method
10. Fill in Billing Address
11. Submit application for new Apple ID
12. Wait for verification email
13. When email arrive, verify your account
14. Start downloading your free apps

Hi ..
You posted in the, "Setting Up Apple Pay" community, so if you are tryiing to setup Apple Pay, be aware, it's limited to the U.S. only.
Set up and use Apple Pay
If it's not an Apple Pay issue, try this support article > Can't change the country of your iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, or Mac App Store account

I'm having trouble with my payment method payment type it's not accepting any of my cards

Payment method/payment type will not accept any of my cards for payment it's saying my security codes are wrong there are available funds on both card

You have exactly the same name and address on your iTunes account that the cards are registered to : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1646 ?
And when you say that there are available funds on the cards, do you mean that they are debit cards ? If they are then I don't think that they are still accepted as a valid payment method in all countries - from this page :
You may be able to use other payment types in your country, like debit and Maestro cards
which implies that they are not accepted in all countries, and there have been a number of posts about them being declined.
