Security Code Invalid preventing me from signing in to iTunes Store
I just got itunes today and I created an account but I can't actually do anything because as soon as I click "Sign in" for the itunes store, I get a message saying "This Apple ID has not yet been used with the iTunes Store. Please review your information." The only options I have are "Review" or "Cancel". When I click "Review" it asks me to enter my credit card information. I enter it, but it tells me that my Security Code is invalid. Now I know there's a workaround by using this information: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1646 The problem is, I can't even log in to go to my account settings in order to re-enter my information. I know all the information is the same as what my bank has on record. Is there any other way to fix this issue? It's preventing me from using the iTunes Store.

Best Fixes for ‘Cannot Connect to iTunes Store’ Errors

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.
Cheers, Tom

when i open the account itones store asks a security code. I purchased this device from another person. i dont know the security code to fill in the format.The security code is the Apple ID of the person who setup the account. You will need to have the person you purchased the iPhone from remove their information from the iPhone.

Launch iTunes on your computer.
From the iTunes menu bar click iTunes / Preferences then select the Advanced tab.

Click OK.
Restart your computer, launch iTunes, sign in. Make sure the security code is correct then click Done. -

My old credit card expired so I'm putting in new information but I keep getting this message security code invalid. Why?
Hi BT54,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Based on what you stated, I'm not sure if this is causing the issue but it is a possible cause. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
Payment methods you can use in the iTunes Store, Mac App Store, App Store, and iBooks Store - Apple Support
If you create an account for a child under 13* in Family Sharing, you must use a credit card as the payment method. After you create the child’s Apple ID, however, you can change your payment method back to a debit card.
Cheers,

I cannot "click" on the top inch of any screen when in firefox. This prevents me from signing in and out of certain webpages. If I minimize the screen this does not go away either. This doesn't happen when I am either on my desktop or using IE. I love firefox, but this is frustrating! Help!
Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. <br />
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

Apparently my security settings are preventing me from downloading creative cloud. Any suggestions?

Nobody can tell you anything. You have not provided any system info nor told us what alleged "security settings" are interfering or for that matter what warnings you get.

HT3702 For payment it says security code invalid
Payment says security code 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 authorizations have the correct information on file.
And/or try contacting iTunes support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Express Lane, then iTunes > iTunes Store -

Moving this discussion to the Adobe Creative Cloud forum.
Alyssa0909 please try utilizing a different web browser. I would also recommend reviewing Renew, extend, or restart your membership which discusses how you can update your payment information. -
