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.

Itunes will not accept a valid security code for my debitcard

Itunes will not accept my debit card info it keeps sayin that my security code on the back of my valid card is invalid.. Ive looked online an ive done what other people had said to do but nothing worked

You have to make sure your iTunes address and your cards billing address are exactly the same (including capitalization and spaces).
Or you could just run off gift cards.

Make sure the address on your iTunes account is exactly the same as on your credit card bill (i.e. same spacing).

Itunes will not accept credit card information

With a minimum of 10 attempts with at least 4 different senior advisors, no one can figure out what has changed with Itunes that has resulted in a continuing error message that my card information provided through itunes does not match with bank records. The bank disagrees and has validated information 3 times. Something is very wrong with Itunes billing and no one can help.

I have been waiting for apple itunes support to answer for several days since I received their machine generated formletter response telling me they're investigating. Finally after trying everything I could think of I figured it out myself. As suspected and confirmed by Visa, this isn't a problem with the credit card or the credit card information, but an itunes store desktop application bug. First it is displaying a misleading and inaccurate message on entering valid credit card information for an available credit card with more than enough credit (your credit card has been declined). This message implies that apple sent the request to your credit card vendore which wastes your time and the credit card vendor's when you contact them to investigate.
It turns out the whole issue is caused by poorly coded integration between itunes store desktop application and apple store web application. I found an old apple knowledge base article which said that whenever you update account info on itunes store, it automatically updates apple store.
What was really happening when itunes store displayed the CC declined message was that it was trying to update apple store's information to match, but the apple store account info has different options and validaiton than the itunes store accounts info (in my case the apple store doesn't have an option for my country, Jordan). So when a validation error was encountered by itunes desktop app as it was trying to update apple store information, it just falls back to displaying credit card declined simply because the apple programmers did not bother (too lazy I guess) to take the validation error from the apple store and display it in itunes.
So what I did was open apple store account management, change my email and save. Then open itunes login with the new email, then itunes will ask me to re-enter account info (not just billing info) this allowed my cc to be accepted immediately.

Itunes/app store suddenly does not recognise credit card security codes

I have been using the same card for my itunes account for as long as i have had an itunes account and a personal credit card, all of a sudden about a week or so ago while trying to update some applications on my iphone it asked me to sign in and confirm my billing information, from that day on it has refused to recognise the security code for my credit card or any other credit card for that matter, has anyone else had a similar issue with billing for their app store/itunes account and if so is this something that can be fixed easily without sending the device out or going to a repair centre
the most frustrating thing of all is all of the updates i need to install are free updates for applications that were also free :-/
P.S. I have so far tried re-entering just the security code, the code and the numbers to the left that generally are not required, all the information pertaining to the numerical data on the card, all information in all fields (card and billing address etc.), i even tried using the other phone number for my ATT wireless account as well as my boyfriends mastercard, nothing has worked, it does not recognise the security code even though i know it is correct and has worked for other recent purchases, the odd thing is that unless i enter something wrong it oks all the other information, it's just the security code that always pops a red flag
the specific error messages i have gotten is "security code is invalid", if my security code is invalid then why has my card worked for every other online purchase i've made recently using that security code exactly as it is printed on my card?

This also happened to a friend of mine today as well. Any ideas about what to do about this?

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/

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.

The iTunes and Mac App Store billing policy is the same.

ITunes will not accept my renewed credit card info.

My iTunes will not accept my renewed credit card information for verification of payment type, so I can't download any app

Ok. The only other things that come to mind is to ensure that the name on the card matches what you entered in iTunes, and that your street address matches. If it isn't those things, I got nothing.

Itunes won't accept my credit card security code

Itunes repeatedly asks for my credit card security code. I know the code that I am entering is correct - as is my billing address. This has been happening since I had to update my card info as my old card had expired.
Each new device (and I have MANY Apple Devices) - iPads, iPods, iPhone, Macbook, when purchasing an app, etc. triggers a new request for verifying billing info. At this point, even though I am entering the same, accurate information. I am getting locked out from new purchases and I am in an endless loop of requests for my security code. Should I request that my profile is reset? Thanks in advance for any advice.
