Q: App store keeps asking cvv code
I have recently added a credit card to my apple id as a replacement for click and buy. I have also enabled family sharing right away. Everything went fine and I was happy. Today I wanted to purchase an app on my apple tv and it asked me for the CVV code for my credit card. I entered it, and it asked for it again. So I entered it again and then it asked again. I got stuck in a loop. When I went back to the app store screen it told me to verify my information in itunes. So I went in to itunes, looked at my info and it was fine. But the infinte CVV loop kept occurring.
After that I:
- Logged out of iCloud and back in.
- Rebooted my apple tv
- Restored my apple tv
- Signed out again
- Signed in again
- Rebooted again
All with no luck..
Does anybody have alternative suggestions?..
btw, purchasing stuff on other devices still works fine.
MacBook Pro (13-inch Early 2011), Mac OS X (10.7.3)

@Jfromheerenveen: I ended up restoring my Apple TV and setting it up without using my iPhone for the set up. After manually entering all credentials and setup information I was able to purchase things without getting stuck in this loop. Hope that this will help you as well..
