Security code comes up invalid when in fact it is very much valid

Recently when trying to download apps it prompts me to sign in and view my billing info. All the information is correct including my security code. I have taken it out and put it back in and yet it still says my security code is invalid when it 100% is not. So frustrating! Please if someone could tell me what the crap is going on I would be so thankful!!

This can only be resolved by iTS.

What "security code" are you referring to? Do you mean the security questions?
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5665
Or are you referrring to the two-step security authorization?

HT204088 Trying to get free apps or already purchased apps but every time I put in my security code it says Invalid help please

I have a iPod and an iPad and I can't download or buy anything because it says my security code is invalid

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

HT4623 I just got an iPhone 4, and I can not connect it with my iTunes. I tried to set up a new iTunes account but it says that my security code is wrong, even when everything is correct. What should I do?

I just got an iPhone 4s, and I can not connect it with my iTunes from my previous account. I have already tried making another account, however it says that I have the wrong security code even though this is not true. What should I do?

Contact iTunes support. There's a link to it on the bottom of every page in the iTunes store.

HT1918 App store is asking for the security code of my card, when I write it down and press ok, it still does not accept it.

For some reasone app store is not accepting my card, it is asking for a security key, once I write the security key it is still rejecting the card

Often there is another billing issue you can not see from your end that causes this.

My Adobe account serial number for elements 10 comes up invalid when reinstalling please help. I can't find any useful information to register. There appears to be on customer service.

Why is this so difficult? My serial number does not work.

Hi Matt,
Let us go on a clean up drive:
1. Please confirm that PSE 8 is/was the only Adobe application installed on the machine? (Reader is an exception)
2. If yes, then please remove the following folders:
Applications\Adobe Photoshop Elements 8\
Applications\Adobe Bridge CS4\
Applications\Adobe Extension Manager CS4\
Applications\Utilities\Adobe Utilities\
Applications\Utilities\Adobe Installers\
<Macintosh HD>\Library\Application Support\Adobe\
<Macintosh HD>\Library\Application Support\Logs\Adobe\
<Macintosh HD>\Library\Application Support\Preferences\com.adobe.....\
<Macintosh HD>\Users\<username>\Library\Application Support\Adobe\
To be on the safer side, after following the above steps, run the clean up script following the steps mentioned in the below link and make sure that no CS4 product or PSE 8 is listed in it:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/829/cpsid_82947.html
Afterwards, try to install PSE 8 again. This time it should install fine...(Hope so... )

Ankush

Security Code Invalid

I am at my wits end! Can't update any apps or download any apps. It kicks back everytime saying "Security code invalid", when in fact it's very much right and it hasn't been having a problem. Any ideas?

Welcome to the discussions,
see this article about credit card FAQ's: http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/creditcard/

Error "Security Code is invalid"

I keep getting the error code when I put in my credit card information to make a purchase does anyone know why? Error "Security Code is invalid" when in fact the code is not invalid.

Try Settings > Store Sign out and then sign back in.

Security code is invalid. - Cannot Update or Purchase Apps

Same issue as so many others. Again (this happened before but all I had to do was renter my credit card info). I was able to delete account and re-enter in both iTunes or online and it worked but not this time. Either the recent Safari update, iTunes update or iOS 4 killed the ability to use my nextwave Titanium Pre-paid credit card which I was using for over a year and a half with no problem. I was shipped a new card a few months ago, but up until yesterday, it was working absolutely fine for updates and purchases on the iTunes Music Store in Canada, even with a new security code. As it stands I can't update any of my apps now and no changing of the credit card through either iTunes, Apple.ca, or the iPhone seems to allow my security code.
After speaking with Apple Canada Tech this morning, it appears to be an issue with prepaid cards. However, I do not use another credit card, and it has worked just fine prior to updates. I shouldn't have to pick up a prepaid iTunes card just to perform updates on my apps, especially when all was fine prior to the iTunes, iOS, or Safari updates. Easily 3 hours wasted trying to get this resolved so far.
Incredibly frustrating especially to a long-time Apple product user (over 20 years). I'm going to stop trusting updates again and hold off doing any since there never seems to be enough people/time allocated to the bug testing departments to fix these issues. Please Apple, let's get these things fixed before the product's release. You're killing the excitement of new releases and updates again.
Also: when the iPhone brings up the first dialog box that says you must tap 'OK' to sign in, and the dialog button actually says 'Continue', perhaps they should be the same word to show some consistency.

Just thought I'd try reentering my prepaid credit card info again using all of the various ways (iTunes, Apple.ca/Store, iPhone, and MobileMe) and of course nothing worked. Still an invalid security code or even invalid number. Of course, no response from Apple on here and the phone support tells me to try a pre-paid iTunes card. Isn't that tantamount to bait-and-switch when my original credit card worked in the first place? And what if I don't have a budget for that?
It's clear that these credit card issues are affecting a large number of users as Google searches turn up plenty of forum postings about these topics, not only on Apple's boards but other web forums. If there was at least some acknowledgment of the problems and an attempt to fix them, or some kind of iTunes store credit given in the meantime, it would go a long way to building goodwill among your client base.
As an Apple user of over 20 years, I have never seen as many bugs as I have in the last few years. In my humble opinion, while these forums are an excellent start, clearly they are not monitored enough and there is not enough done to correct these problems.
My iPhone 3G is now not only running incredibly slow thanks to iOS 4, but I still cannot update apps - even the free ones - which may solve some of the slow software issues and crashes. Sure, purchasing can be done with a prepaid iTunes card, but that's a practice one shouldn't have to resort to when your original card worked in the first place.
Very frustrated with this great company. You are capable of much better.

HT4479 Credit card security code not accepted when trying to sign into App Store for the first time

I have just signed up for an Apple ID. I want to download Twiter for Mac from the App Store. When I try to log in, it tells me this is the first time I have tried using this ID and asks me to register my credit card details. I have entered all the information they ask for but it tells me my security code (CVV) is invalid. Is there any way to fix this, or to sign in without giving my credit card details?
Thanks.
