Q: 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

    I do NOT have an outstanding balance with Apple and I am using a valid CC but yet I get the same error message, Please enter a valid security code.  I will call my bank tomorrow and see if it is a problem with my card or Apple itself.  I have recently updated my phone and now I cannot update any of my apps on my phone due to this problem, however, I do know that for security reasons my bank will not let any charges under $5.00 go through over the internet.

    For anyone having this issue, there are specific instructions much earlier in this thread that I won't bother to try to remember or re-write now, but they did solve my problem.  I think it had to do with going to my actual .Mac or .Me account and entering, at first, no card, saving, then entering the proper card and saving again, but it was months ago and the details are fuzzy. 

     

    Too bad Apple hasn't taken global action to deal with this, but it's probably best that we each deal with our account info personally.

     

    Bottom line is:  Once done according to Apple's Customer Service directions, it resolved the issue.

    Somewhere in the vicinity of August 8 or 9, 2011, there was a solution for this posted.  I did an abbeviated version, and someone after me did a more complete set of directions.  It has to do with deleting, then re entering your CC info.  But don't rely on my memory now, 4 months later.  Go back to August and search this thread and another thread that was titled "Itunes Store - Help"

     

    Or use email or chat support to Apple.  The fix did come from there.

    I have had the same issue for days now, and this worked for me today:

     

    I removed my appleID from my phone.

    Shut off my phone.

    Disabled express checkout/one click purchasing on a pc.

    Signed in on the phone.

    It asked for my security coder and accepted it.

     

    Let me know if it works for you too.
