This can happen when the format of the billing address on your iTunes account doesn't exactly match the format that your credit card company has on file. See http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1646.

Why does it say invalid security code when I'm prompted to sign in. I have intered my security code from my credit card several times. It will not allow me to use the app store, even for free purchases.

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

When I tried updating my apps it says invalid security code for my credit card.

Basically when I try updating an app it says to login. Ok say once I log in it makes me update billing info. When I put my cc info in (which has a 0$ balance) it says invalid security code. This is complete ********, I can't even download FREE apps OR update the ones I have. Im considering going back to android. This is ridiculous.

you cannot place a card on the account that has no balance to it...
you can hit the "None" option if you owe nothing to the itunes store

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."

My account billing information says my security code to my debit is invalid, but I was able to use it a few weeks ago without trouble. Why all of a sudden has it stopped working?

It may be an Apple problem since some other users are reporting the same error.

New iphone 5, Invalid Security Code - frustration !

I have been buying itunes apps and music for close to 9 years with my visa card. Today, after getting a new iphone 5 last week I bought my first game. That is, I tried to and entered a nightmare. I get a warning for invalid security code, and when I want to give an answer to my security questions it won't let me. I called apple support, and I can't find a way to enter a new credit card or any card. I used to pay with paypal connected to my bankaccount. Now all of a sudden it tells me that iphone 5 does not support paypal anymore.
I can not find how to change my security code questions, nor can apple support. They can't get into my account because the security code on the back of my card is not matched. Tried with several different cards (which I don't really want to do - I want to continue to pay itunes stuff with paypal like I have done for the last 9 years).
The apple rep will call me back next week, so for now I can not buy any app nor music on my phone... I can work around it and buy via itunes, but that is not what I want. I want to buy stuff wherever I am, that is why I got an iphone after all, to use wifi and be able to buy stuff on the move.
It looks like there is a giant bug in IO6 that has to do with paypal, credit cards or debit cards. I do have enough money in my account...
I do not understand why all of a sudden I need to give in security answers to questions that I never saw before and therefore also don't know what answers to give. The answers I give are the truth but they come back as wrong.
My visa card comes back with an unmatchable security code on the back with the card number on the front.
What is going on with visa cards and apple IOS6????
Also, as long as the apple rep can not pair the card, there is no way to change the security questions, and as I can not give the right answers to the security questions they can not get into my account to change a thing.
If they can not verify that I am the person who I say I am they can't do a thing...
Before last week and the arrival of my new iphone 5 I never had problems like that.
What is going on???????

Do you have a balance owed?
Try setting the payment option to None, save it then enter a good CC number.

I can't update my payment Inof.. Whenever I Put in the new card info it say invalid security code and I haven't been able to download any new apps for two months now

I can't download any apps on my phone... I've played in and you credit card information and it keeps saying invalid security code

No this was absolutely of no help what so ever!!!!1I have had this issue before and it was also a nightmare. I don't understand why you have to go thru so much pain until you can talk to a real person. I don't have 48 hours. I use this app to make money. I can't update it, so I can't use it, all because I can't update my info, which is clearly on the Apple side. Not my bank (like they first want to say), not me, I know who I am, but it must be something on apple's side. And to wait 48 hours for an email response to tragic . I can't believe a company with as much assets as Apple can't get a real person to help me sort this out. I had this same problem years ago, and it was the same mess. Whay do I keep doing this? Am I just one of the bovine masses who just have to have an iPhone? Yikes

Each time i try to download anything from itunes it says invalid security code

each time i try to download from itunes it says invalid security code

This same issue bothered me for years. The account I had used to purchase iTunes songs with suddenly stopped working. And always it was the same error about the security code.
I talked to iTunes support, my bank and the eCommerce customer support for my Visa card. No one could ever tell me what it was until this year. I tried for years, literally years, to figure it out. I had to buy iTunes gift cards and that was not convenient for me. But thankfully, someone who worked in the credit department of a major online retailer, finally explained it to me.
Small banks, sometimes large banks, often don't opt to offer debit and credit cards that use Visa's stronger security, which is advertised as "Verified By Visa". Not all stores and online shops use this security method during their checkout process, but iTunes does. (Amazon, for example, does not require it)
So any error having to do with the security code means that Apple's iTunes shopping cart requires the stronger security method and does not accept the older 3-digit security code on the back of the regular Visa debit and credit cards. You would want to see which of your cards is supporting Verified By Visa security, and use one of those. The card you are currently using will never be accepted, no matter how many people tell you to carefully check your billing and account addresses and spelling, etc.
So get a Verified by Visa card, or use MasterCard.
