Security code is invalid. iTunes for iTouch.

Due to an issue with my computer, I am forced to buy my songs from my iPod Touch. But when I try to purchase new songs, I get a message saying I need to enter my billing info and it takes me to a screen that says I need to insert my security code, and when I do, it says the number I put in is invalid.

I am having the exact same issue. The card in the system is the same card I have been using for the past year. Nothing has changed. Live in the same place. Have the same name. Card is the same. I have been able to download songs and apps and books for the past year. About a week ago it started telling me I had an invalid security code but when I tried to enter the code it keeps telling me it is invalid.I called the support line and they told me that a lot of other people are reporting the same issue but that the only two fixes that they have been given are not working for people. They emailed instructions to select "none" as the payment method but there is not a "none" option. I tried de-selecting the "use this card" box and that did not work either. After a while on the phone trying different things the system comes back with a message that "Credit card processing is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later." At that point he told me he could no longer help me. ugggghhhhh.

  • ITunes recently decided my debit card's security code in invalid.  But nothing is wrong with the code or my card.  how do I fix this?  Apple support doesn't have a clue what they are doing and will not call me to fix this.

    My bank sent me a new Debit card because of some security issue.  It has the same number as my previous card but new experation and new security code. It worked fine for months then all of a sudden Itunes decided the security code is invalid.  Now I can't even update my phone. 
    For the last week I have been going back and forth over email with apple support to fix it, but they keep telling me the same fix that doesn't work and frankly they are the worst support group I have ever worked with.  I can't even get anyone to answer a phone, its just back and forth by email everyday.

    Debit card? Are you sure?
    USA iTunes Store does not appear to accept debit cards - http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/us/terms.html  "The iTunes Store, Mac App Store, App Store, and iBookstore services (“Services”) accept these forms of payment: credit cards issued by U.S. banks, payments through your PayPal account, iTunes Cards, iTunes Store Gift Certificates, Content Codes, and Allowance Account balances."

  • So whenever I try and download an app, apple is making me put in my security code for my visa card. But, it's saying my security code is invalid. And I know that it's right. What do I do?

    Apple is making me put in my card information to get free apps. And when I put in the vista card information it's saying that the security code is invalid. It is also doing this to my brothers account. I have no idea what to do!

    Go to Settings > Store tap on your Apple ID, then billing information.
    Make sure every single bit of information in your credit card is 100% correct and matches the credit card information you have in iTunes (if you have an iTunes account and you have entered the credit card information there).  Make sure your credit card expiration date is accurate and correct.  Make sure that if in iTUnes you said you live at say 150 Red Road, you don't say you live at 150 Red Rd on your iPad.
    Once you've verified the billing information is 100% accurate, save and then try again to download from the App Store.

  • Apple store worked great, now it keeps telling me that I need to verify payment info and my security code is invalid for my card... The card is current? What's going on?

    Apple store worked great, now it keeps telling me that I need to verify payment info and my security code is invalid for my card... The card is current? What's going on?

    Did you enter the last three digits on the back of the card for Visa or Master or the 4 digit # on the front of Amex?

  • HT1918 When I changed my credit card iTunes says that my security code is invalid. I even entered another card with its valid security code and got the same message. The security code I entered was correct but I can't get iTunes to accept it as valid.

    When I changed my credit card info iTunes says my security code is invalid but the one I've entered is correct. I've even added a different card and I still get the message that the code is invalid. This means that I cannot download an app or song because I can't get past the payment page.

  • Why is Apple saying my security code is invalid?

    I would like to buy the OS Lion software through the App store but when I sign in using my Apple ID and password, I get a message telling me that this Apple ID has not been used with the I-Tunes Store. Please review your account information.
    So I go to review account information and fill it out completely.
    When I submit it, I get a message back saying my security code is invalid.
    I know that the code is right and have been using this card and code with other companies with no problem. But for some reason I am having trouble with Apple.
    What gives?
    What can I do?

    Try this...
    Quit the Mac App Store.
    Launch iTunes. From the menu bar click iTunes / Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
    Click: Reset warnings and Reset cache
    Click OK.
    Go to the menu bar again click Store / Sign Out.
    Relaunch the App Store. Try again.

  • HT1918 It keeps saying my security code is invalid

    I have tried to buy apps and even download free apps and it keeps popping up with my payment information. It says my security code is invalid which it is not. I've even cleared all my information and entered it all again. This is really frustrating for me and could really use some tips!

    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

    Pease dont' waste your time with that useless article. Carolyn has been warned many times before to stop posting that and waisting people's time.
    This error is a little generic at times and there are a few things that could be happening here. Please put in a ticket here for an advisor to check into details:

  • Why does it keep saying my security code is invalid, but it clearly is not?

    I used a gift card my brother had bought me for christmas and I assumed I could used it because it was american express and it had a card number. So I put that in and it seemed to work fine, but when I tried to switch back from the american express to my visa, it said that my security code was invalid and that my card had been declined(the american express).

    If you know the card ifo is valid I would contact the iTunes store.  Go to the Itunes Store Account and Billing section of the following:

    This can sometimes happen because there is a missmatch between the billing address entered on your iTunes account and the billing address from your bank records.  See http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1646.
