Itunes will not accept my securty code and won't take any other card I submit

itunes will not accept my security code so I can not update or purchase even free aps and won't take another card- so what do you do?

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

  • After installing iOS 5, my ipad 2 will not accept my access code and has locked me out

    after installing iOS 5, my ipad 2 will not accept my access code and has locked me out.  Any ideas?

    I don't know if your symptoms are the same as mine, but my problem is the same. Specifically:
    My update seemed to go fine, but I noticed that items in Notification Center were not current or missing, as compared to the iPhone. Also, when iTunes saw the iPad without it being connected by cable, the portion of the iTunes screen that displayed the OS status was blank, and it told me that I had to connect physically to update. When I did, iTunes confirmed that iOS 5 was indeed installed and current.
    With this, I decided to shut down the iPad completely, and restart it. When it came back up, the lock screen had changed. I now get a full keyboard (not just a number pad). When I attempt to enter my 4-digit passcode (and I know I'm entering the correctone), the iPad won't take it. Now it's completely locked and I can't access it.
    The odd thing is the way the screen changed to display a full keyboard on the lock screen. This didn't happen to the iPhone.
    All devices are running the current versions of everything.

  • Every time i try to load an application - I receive a note my credit card is declined.  How do i resolve this problem?  It won't take any other card?

    I would like to know what I need to do so I can use my iphone applications.  It won't take my credit card number or any other card?

    I assume that by "load" you mean "install from applestore"?
    If you do then there is a whole tomelike memo that Apple has for credit cards.  For instance you now can't use gift or vanilla prepaid cards anymore.  But that's probably not your problem here.  Maybe if you could offer a little more info as to where in the Apple maze this is happening?  And are you unable to use your applications (the ones you have successfully installed)?
    It sounds like a pretty obscure problem if you can't "load" (start? maybe) the applications that you've already downloaded from Applestore and are installed.  Is this the case or can you be a bit more specific and exact in your terminology?
    And have you previously, successfully installed Applestore apps on the very device you are now are having this problem on?  I have had numerous problems with credit cards, authorization and accounts so I may be able to help.  Apple is so unthinkably unthinking when they mesh with the real world that even just one hair out of place can bring you to a grinding halt with no clue as to why.
    Be more specific and detailed and I'll hang in with you if I can help.  Frustrating isn't it?

  • ITunes will not accept my Apple ID and Password via Apple TV

    Hi there. My Apple ID and Password work perfectly well on my computer and allows access to the iTunes store. However, when I try logging into the iTunes store to rent a movie on my Apple TV it keeps on saying Apple ID or password not recognised (or words to that effect). Any ideas anyone. It's been like this for ages and is driving me nuts! (I updated the Apple TV software today).
    Thank you.
    Graham

    I seem to remember seeing something similar when I first connected mine. My userid/pwd were constantly rejected when I tried to rent a movie, and no matter what I tried I couldn't get it to work. However when I reentered the exact same details under the ATV settings menu and then went back to rent the movie it was fine, and has been ever since. Am not in front of the unit so I can't remember which option it was under the settings menu but it was pretty obvious...

  • 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.

  • I have moved from the UK to New Zealand and Itunes will not accept my new Zealand bank details, as a result nothing will work on my phone and I cant access emails!

    I have moved from the UK to New Zealand and Itunes will not accept my new Zealand bank details, I am trying to change my details on the Iphone 4s

    Do you have a new Apple ID to use in NZ? If not open iTunes Store. Log out of your old Apple ID, then try to login. Select Create Apple ID from the dialog that appears. Make a new Apple ID for NZ with a NZ email address. Once that is approved and verified, log into the iTunes Store with the new Apple ID. This should fix all other issues.

  • TS1538 I was attempting to update iphone 4s today, laptop went flat during the last stages. The iphone now only displays USB cord, with an arrow pointing towards iTunes emblem. iTunes will not accept/read the iphone. HELP??

    If you have the latest version of iTunes you should not have to download the ipsw file separately as jalp suggests. iTunes will download it automatically.
    This error (9) most often means that your antivirus or firewall (or router) is blocking access to Apple's servers. In rare instances it can also mean that the phone was hacked (or "jailbroken") to unlock it. If this is the case you must do a DFU restore, not Recovery Mode, as follows:
    Reboot your computer
    Disable your antivirus and firewall. If you has Kaspersky you may actually have to uninstall it, as it can never be turned completely off.
    Connect the USB cable to a USB port directly on your computer, not to a hub. DO NOT connect the other end to the phone
    Disconnect all USB devices except for mouse, keyboard and iPhone cable.
    Launch iTunes
    On the phone hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons at the same time for EXACTLY 10 seconds, then release the SLEEP button but continue holding the HOME button. The screen should be black. If it has an Apple logo this means you held both buttons too long. Release the HOME button and do it again.
    While holding the HOME button connect the free end of the cable to the phone.
    After a short while iTunes should recognize a phone in "recovery mode" (iTunes doesn't know the difference between DFU and Recovery modes, but the phone does)
    Release the HOME button and don't touch the phone or the computer until the process completes or you get an error message. Ignore any displays on the phone.
    If the error recurs the phone was probably messed up when it was hacked. This is not a hardware problem, or if it is, it isn't one you can fix.
    You can try repeating these steps with a different computer and a different cable. If that fails also the phone is probably not repairable.

  • ITunes will not accept my credit card info

    I had my information stored so that when I wanted to purchase music, I had only to indicate what I wanted to buy and it would present me with a sign in scree, where I could put in my password, and then the account information screen to add my security code from the credit card, and the music should be mine. However, it would not accept the security code, and tells me that there are unacceptable characters in with my credit card information. I blanked everything out and started from scratch, and its not taking it. Whats up with that? Brenda

    Usually it's not a problem with the credit card numbers, it's something wrong with your address.
    Here's a link

  • 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.

    I cloud will not accept my apple id and password on my laptop. I have changed the password twice trying to make it work. What to do now?

    IF your imessage is saying waiting for activation then do this:
    backup your phone to itunes or icloud.
    then on your phone go to settings - general - reset - erase all contents and settings - this will wipe your phone clean.
    once the process is done, you can restore from the backup you made, then you should be able to activate your imessage.

  • I recently connected my new ipad to my itunes, but now itunes will not recognise my ipod classic, and 50gig of music has gone. ipad connects ok but no longer ipod which has been there for two years! help!!!

    I recently connected my new ipad to my itunes, but now itunes will not recognise my ipod classic, and 50gig of music has gone. ipad connects ok but no longer ipod which has been there for two years! help!!!

    What happens when the iPod is plugged in?  anything?  any errors?
    Why is 50GB of music gone?  All music should exist on the computer.  Only a fool would rely on a single device which could easily be lost or stolen to store their content on.
