Sometimes if you make a mistake in the way that you have entered your street address or city or any other information in the billing details, you will get the message that the security code is invalid. Double check the information that you entered. The address that you impulse in iTunes must match the billing address on your credt card statement exactly. If you typed "St." In iTunes - but the credt card statement billing address has it as "Street", that can cause problems as well.


If you can't sort it out, contact iTunes.

I have the definitive answer!!

First when you try to purchase an app, a box appears asking you to enter your ID, then it asks you to enter your 3 digit (CVC) security code. At that time, don't click on the field but rather press the "done" button on the top right. Then, the field will refresh and ask you to enter the security code again. Then, you can put it in the field and voila.. You should be done.

OH MAN! I had the same problem for so long! I was trying to get as much information and try as many different ways as possible. None worked for me and I am guessing none worked for you either. I will try and help you out! I hope this works for you!!!

Click on your Apple ID > Type in your password > Scroll down to Purchase History > Click on it > If your account has red numbers higlighting a balance. You need to pay that first. Then you are hopefully free of that stupid security code crap! I hope this helped you! 🙂
