AppleTV Requires ITunes Verification

When I try to rent a movie or purchase music on AppleTV, why do I get a "Verification Request" Screen? AppleTV tells me I must go to the iTunes store on computer to verify my payment information. I go to computer, but do not see any place to verify info. Can't I rent/purchase a movie directly from AppleTV without having to download to iTunes?

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

I am staggered as to how bad Apple OS now is ... almost nothing works properly now ...


I get an error message on my Apple TV when I try to hire and download a movie. I'm asked to go to my iTunes to verify the new CC details I just entered. When I go to my iTunes on my iMac, there is no CC verification required. I go back to my Apple TV and try to hire a movie again ... still asks for Verification. So how do I verify?


So instead of 'download and watch later' I try 'download and watch now' on ATV... and it works. Unbelievable.


Apple OS has so many bugs its laughable, I have no confidence in Apple anymore. Nothing is simple any more, I'm so scared updating anything because I have no confidence my devices will work anymore.


Apple, get your act together.

Hallelujah brother. How Apple has fallen. I have the same problem. Un-f-ing believable that they can't make this easier. I entered my CVV. No change. And entering my CVV was just a guess, since I had not yet read this post. Apple provided no guidance at all about how to verify. And I have $70 credit in iTunes. How do they need to verify my CC when renting a movie for $4 when I have $70 credit with them. It's hard to believe, but it does really seem like they are just coasting on the success that Jobs built. Hard to believe, but consistent with the constant bugs in the iTunes environment.
