    Did you just set up a new iTunes account? Check your e-mail. Apple sent you a link to verify your e-mail address. Click it and sign into your account to get verified. If you have two-step verification then you'll get a code sent to one of your trusted devices. Also, try entering your security code for you credit/debit card again in your payment information & see if it stops asking you more than once in iTunes so payment can go through.

    How do I verify my Apple ID email address?

    When you create a new Apple ID or make certain changes to your account, we’ll send you an email to help you complete the update. This helps protect your identity and ensures you can receive important account notifications from Apple, such as password reset emails. Several Apple services, such as iCloud, iTunes, iMessage, and FaceTime, require you to use a verified email address as your Apple ID.

    To verify your email address, click the Verify Now link in the verification email. Sign in with your Apple ID and password, then click Verify Address. Use these steps if you didn't get the email. You might be asked to verify your email using a 6-digit code.
