Why skype keeps asking me about security codes????
when I sing in, skype keeps asking me if I wanted to change the security codes...Then I say yes(because I cannot take this back) they send me email on a certain day(when I am not home of course) and I cannot change the passwords(neither DO I WANT TO)....then this circle repeats itself over and over, and itse starting to annoy me greatly.
I JUST WANT TO KEEP USING THIS **bleep**.....
How can I make it stop ?`I just want to sign in without having to send over and over again these requests...just to get to my account for a week again.
Hi, Ahaa, and welcome to the Community,
Change the security codes? I am confused, and not following along ... could you please kindly post back with a screen shot of what you are seeing? Please remember to "white out" any personal information before you upload your screen shot.
If you could also provide more information about where you use Skype, this could be helpful:
- Hardware used (laptop/phone/tablet brand and model)
- Operating system (version and updates installed)
- Skype version used
- Internet connection used
Thank you,
Elaine

Are you using a credit card?

Security codes
The credit card security code is a unique three or four digit number printed on the front (American Express) or back (Visa/MasterCard) of your card. -

Hi a when I want to install a application it's keep ask me about answer a security question and I never add a security question. Thank you for you answer
If you log into your account via http://appleid.apple.com, and select the Password and Security section on the left-hand side of that page are you able to set them ?
If not, then from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5665 :
If you have three security questions and a rescue email address, sign in to My Apple ID and select the “Password and Security” tab to send an email to your rescue email address to reset your security questions and answers.
If you have one security question and you know your Apple ID password, sign in to My Apple ID and select the “Password and Security” tab to reset your security question.
If you have one security question, but don't remember your Apple ID password, contact Apple Support for assistance. Learn more about creating a temporary support PIN to help Apple confirm your identity when you contact Apple Support.
If you can’t reset them via the above instructions (you won't be able to add a rescue email address until you can answer your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple in your country to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312 -
HT201303 Keeps asking for my security code and I know it's last 3 on card
Why it won't let me get free apps with my card keeps taking me to billing info and asking my security code
HOW TO FIX "INVALID SECURITY CODE" PROBLEM:
Since apple's "customer support" consists of a whole bunch of ******** derelicts who blame you or your credit card company for this message, I had to take it upon myself to figure out a way around the problem. All you have to do is change your billing information in iTunes from your credit card to PayPal.
I was getting this same ridiculous "invalid security code" message when I knew I had entered it correctly!
It's funny, because PayPal recognized it as a valid account and security code, and now all my apps finally work again.
Open iTunes
Go to the Store
On the right, click on "Account"
Next to "Payment Type", click "Edit"
Click the PayPal logo and either enter your existing PayPal account info or create a new one (as I did)
I'm not a fan of PayPal, therefore I never had one. I created one really quickly and even used the same account that mysteriously stopped working. (AND WITH NO PROBLEMS... THANKS, APPLE)
I really hope this helps anyone with this same problem as it is really frustrating when somebody **cough cough apple** tells you that you're doing something wrong when you know you're not, and takes no liability whatsoever when the error is on their behalf.
Happy Apping.... For now -
HT3702 trouble activating card on itunes keeps asking for correct security code
what am i doing wrong if i'm putting in security code and it tells me different
Contact your your account information, make sure it matches what you have on your card statement. If everything's matching, contact your bank.

I was hoping I could get some help as to why it keeps telling me my security code is incorrect for my new credit card. It is not incorrect as i have used this same code for paypal and other billing accounts. It's only itunes thats doing this.
For some reason Apple is particularly nitpicky about the billing address. The message you get is misleading since it can indicate any discrepancy in your billing information - a single space or punctuation out of place can cause it.
Go to your account in the iTunes Store and edit your credit card information. Retype it if in doubt. Make sure it matches your billing information precisely.

I'm trying to set up my purchase account, but it keeps asking me about an iTunes code I have to feel in but I don't know what is that code and where do I get it?
THe iTunes gift code is an optional field, you don't have to fill it in - gift cards are an alternative method of paying for iTunes content, but as they are not available inall countries (and they are country-specific, they can only be used in the country in which they were issued), you may not be able to fill it in anyway. If they are available in your country then you might be able to buy cards from Apple, supermarkets, electrical stores etc
If you have a credit card then you can use that as your payment method instead. Otherwise there are instrutions on this page for how to create a new account without giving a credit card number (it won't with existing, or partially created, accounts) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534 -

PamelaWelcome to the Apple Community.
I have asked for your email address to be edited out. Post your address in an open thread is a sure way to be bombarded by unwanted email, remember it will be here long after you have resolved your problem, for automated detection software to find.
If you want people to contact you, enable others to see your email address in your profile.

When trying to update my billing information to my new MasterCard, the system keeps telling me the security code I'm entering is invalid. I know it's correct. Why is it doing this?
check your purchase history, see if there has been a problem with a previous purchase, if so, you might have to temporarilyuse another gift card or use itunes gift cards

Apple recently made me change my password which was fine but now it keeps telling me the security code on my visa is incorrect now matter how many times i re-enter it. I can no longer download or update my phone. Please help!!!!
Did you go on-line and fix your billing information? You probably need to do this from iTunes on your computer, not your phone.
If you've double checked your credit card info and it still won't take it, contact your card issuer. -
Having lost my password, et al., I obtained a new one successfully, but now when I tried to make a purchase, I was asked for my Security Code. How do I obtain a new Security Code since I have lost all my iPad documentation? Thank you, Dzurek123
That refers to the 3 digit security code on the back of your credt card, not a security code for the iPad.
