Why is my iTunes account telling me my "security code is invalid" when it's not?

I can't update any of my apps or buy anything from iTunes because my account says I have a billing problem. It asks me for my security code in the billing information and when I put it in it tells me "security code invalid". There is definitely money on the account I'm using so I know it's not that. It's annoying when you can't update anything and it's been over a week since I could use that account. What do I do?

  • Itunes keeps telling me my security code is invalid when trying to download apps?

    Is there a way to fix this?

    This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the general iTunes forums. Give those forums as search; the question of invalid security codes has been raised a number of times.

    Sometimes it says security code by it is the ZIP code. Sign into your account in the iTunes app on your computer and verify that all of the information is correct and agree to any new user agreements that may be needed.

  • HT1918 Why is Apple saying my Security Code is invalid when it's not?

    I want to get an app that's free, but Apple tells me to sign in for billing info. I put in my Security Code, correctly, but when I hit Done, it says the security code is invalid.

    The security code could be correct but the credit card number is wrong.  Be sure you did not transpose digits of your credit card number.

  • HT201303 Why does my account say my security code is invalid when It isn't?

    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.

  • HT1918 My itunes account keeps removing my security code.

    I have entered my credit card information and hit SAVE.  The next time I log in or try to purchase something, the Security code is no longer there.

    If it is itunes on your computer - stop people from connecting their phones to your computer, do not connect to others.
    If it is icloud - change your apple id password here

  • TS3297 When I try to purchase an item from iTunes and it says my security code is invalid so I go in and enter the right code and it won't take it

    When I try to buy a song it won't let me it says it's an invalid security code and when I put in the code that's on the back of my card it still says its wrong

    Assuming that it's not a debit card or a prepaid card then 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

  • Why do website forums keep telling me that my messages contain HTML, when they do not contain any HTML code at all?

    I am hoping someone more intelligent than me, can help me out here, as I've got a really infuriating problem.
    I tend to visit a lot of online forums, especially in recent days those at Sky (http://helpforum.sky.com/) and Vodafone (http://forum.vodafone.co.uk/)
    Whenever I log in, and try and post a message, I keep getting a very annoying error message that says:
    "Your post has been changed because invalid HTML was found in the message body. The invalid HTML has been removed. Please review the message and submit the message when you are satisfied."
    The problem is, I never use ANY HTML code, as I don't know what it is. I do use spaces, capital letters, standard punctuation marks, and carriage returns/paragraph breaks. This problem doesn't manifest itself on Internet Explorer, nor Opera, nor Chrome.
    So what's going on please?!

  • I have an ipod touch and I am not able to use any money on my accounts because it is telling me the security code is wrong. Can anyone tell me what I can do?

    I am not able to purchase any upgrades on my Ipod, music, movies, videos, or anything because it says my security code is invalid. I am not sure if I am using the wrong numbers or if there is something wrong with my account. I have tried to change my apple Id and my password.  Other times I am able to sign on to my Ipod with my user ID and password to do an update and it says there is a billing problem with a previous purchase. then you can tap continue and view further info, and when I do this it takes me to my account settings page with the info that I originally set up my Ipod with. I no longer have that same credit card and would like to remove it from account and update with a new one, but have not been sucessful in doing this by using my Ipod. Can I do this online somewhere? Can anyone help me out?
