Security code is invalid. iTunes for iTouch.

Due to an issue with my computer, I am forced to buy my songs from my iPod Touch. But when I try to purchase new songs, I get a message saying I need to enter my billing info and it takes me to a screen that says I need to insert my security code, and when I do, it says the number I put in is invalid.

iPod Touch, Other OS

Yes, simply throw it away! This is the reason I have never used this forum because of people like you, who take everything out of context. If you read all the comments about this problem it has been going on for years, crazy for such a big company. I bought my iPhone for this reason, to enjoy it, now I can't enjoy it. Apple does not care how many people quit using their products, who cares, this is America I can go to another company. P.S. The iPhone was the cheapest phone with these capabilities at my cell store!!!!

It was in no way taken out of context. You wrote,

" Sorry, had to rant before I throw this phone away!!"


You mean you did not really intend to thow away your iPhone? Why did you write that then?

Since you are writing the opposite of what you mean, then glad you are not having problems with iTunes and are extremely happy with everything!

Perhaps if you would write what you actually mean instead of getting upset and ranting, you would not look like such a tool and you would get a bit more emapthy and help from others...

I bought a brand new 3rd gen iPad and had this problem, needless to say i was livid, but I did this and my account is finally usable. (for the record im using a visa debit card, have been for over 2 years.)


get on a computer (as i could not find this option on my ipad account manager) and go to your account and select your payment options. this is done by opening itunes on your pc or mac, going to the left hand side and selecting store, and either signing in or going to the top right corner of the store window (it should show the email associated with the account.) and clicking the dropdown arrow and selecting account. the option for payment will be there under "Apple ID summary" you may need to scrol to the left until you see edit.


after you select edit it should show you the card on the account. above your credit card info it should have options for different card types. to the far left of the options is "none" select this and log out of the account once saved. i waited about ten minutes and went back into my account info and put in the info for my visa and it works!!


I havent tried the paypal option, but i would have done that if this had not worked. the paypal option would require you to make a paypal account by visiting their website and attaching your card of choice to a paypal account. once the account is made it should bill your paypal which should pull from your card of choice.


I really hope this works for all of you as well. I know it ***** to spend so much money on apple products and then not having them work properly. another thing i read is alot of people finding issues with the bank, but my guess is this should be pretty rare, and would be a more widespread problem for you than JUST on itunes.
