Q: Invalid Security Code - frustration !

I'm having the same issue but it won't let me pay. I put in my valid security code and it keeps telling me its invalid. I'm so sick of apple. They've done a lot of crappy stuff lately. I'm at the end of my rope with this one. They suck when it comes to support. They don't give a crap about the customer - and its obvious.

Hey mate, try and re-enter you're details on itunes using a

Laptop or pc. It worked for me. Good luck.

I have the same problem, every time I want to buy something the system requests a confirmation, I put my security code, it passes ok and returns me to the app store, then again the same message to confirm, and it just goes on and on.

I deleted the credit card information and put it again and the same problem.

One stranche thing though if I purchase through iTunes it also asks for the confirmation but when I put the security code it recognizes it and works ok.

Very frustrating I musrt say and Apple shines for their silence....

Hi,

Same issue, im tired of writing my valid code, but doesnt work!!!

Im trying to get from my mac, ipad, iphone, but doesnt work

I call to my bank but they was told me credit card was OK, and the problem is with Apple.

This problem started yesterday, March 5 2012.

im from Chile

I, too, am frustrated by this phenomeNOT.  I just want to dl a free app or two and it keeps telling me sec code is not valid....was two days ago - what happened? 

The below is in relation to downloading apps on an iPhone but should apply to other purchases through the Apple store.

I've been struggling with the same problem, but I've just succeeded in linking my Visa Debit to my Apple account. I think the issue may have been that I was signed in on my computer as well as on my phone, so I signed out of all and then accessed my account only through my phone and it has worked.

Go to:

Settings

Store

View Account

(Enter Password)

Payment Information

(Enter card details and security code, etc.)

And it should work!

Or at least it did for me...

Good luck!

Same problem here. I can't even buy FREE apps until it is resolved. It won't let me switch my payment type to "none". I've even tried a different credit card. But I got the same problem. If someone could help, that would be great. Thanks :)

I have had this happen for the last 4 days now and i have plenty of money on my card and its fine cause ive used it elsewhere to get things but i have app updates i would like to get but cant because after entering the valid code it keeps kicking me out. Just updated to iOS5.x and still doing it. Apple whats up here? And how do we resolve this issue?

I'm also having the same issue.  How many people have to comment on this before Apple employees actually do something about it?  Great service, guys.

I had this problem about 1 month ago and it took two weeks for my security code to be accepted. Now I'm dealing with it all over again! WTH

This is the worst customer service, i have never had this problem and now it says i have an invalid security code which it is valid.

You don't want me to buy apps or update it no problem....you guys hear that it sounds like android is calling.

I didn't bother contacting Apple because it seemed like no one was getting anywhere going that route. I ended up linking my PayPal account as the payment method and all problems are solved. I hope this helps everyone else.

I had been using my debit card as iTunes payment since day one and have never had this problem before today. There was not an outstanding balance and my security code was accurate (can't count the number of times I tried and received the invalid security code message.) I attempted adding various other cards that all came back with the same error. PayPal worked immediately and it's linked to my debit card I'd already been using so I can't say there's much difference in the end; it works.

I have this problem for many days after I got new iPad, and I contacted Apple customer support, but they always point the problem to the bank. I don't think they really check it.

I used at least 4 credit cards, including AMEX, all got same issue. So, I called AMEX, and they told me that the translation they saw, really got wrong security code, which isn't the same as what I filled up  :-(

The Apple system is unbelievable *****! Earn too much money, but don't know how to spend!

I cant get it working. 3 different cards, all good, invalid security card. ***!!!!!

IS there no one to call? W.T.F.!!!!

I have the same problem the apple representative told me to call apple support and they CAN make it work so ima call tomorrow...wish me luck
