Just tried downloading some new music, and it asked me to update my billing profile.

Did that, but it's saying the three-digit security code isn't accurate. Problem is, I'm typing it the same way it is on the back of my card.

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
 
I ran into that once, KY. Turns out I didn't enter my card number correctly (transposed two numbers). Double-check that, if you haven't.

BTW, what are you downloading? Just curious.

It could be an ITunes glitch. The app has been acting funky today. I tried to download a song and kept getting an error message that said "Memory is full". I waited and just downloaded it a little while ago.

As for the code, I'd say try it again and double check the digits in your card and/or your exp. date
 
I've quadruple checked the numbers, and they're all right. Even made sure there were no extra spaces or anything where you type the security code in.

I was going to download some Staind songs, but I'm open to suggestions Killick. :D
 
Damn.

Hmmm. Got another card?

(Other suggestions? No, not really. I was just trying to think of something to download for the long road trip tomorrow. I'm leaning toward a podcast, though.)

well stop trying to use a stolen credit card

dammit! no one was supposed to know!





but seriously, it's saying the code doesn't match my bank's information or whatever. i haven't made any purchases since april sometime, but i didn't think that'd be an issue.
 
I'm downloading the newest version of iTunes.

Maybe that'll help, but I doubt it.

And for some reason, it's saying I owe $1.05 for a song I downloaded some six months ago. Tried authorizing a payment for that, but it's not even letting me do that.
 
Have you moved recently? If the billing and physical address zip codes don't match, you can't do much with a credit card ...
 
If you haven't used the card since April, the account could have been closed. That happened to me. My "emergency" card... the one that stayed in the back of my wallet only to be used in case of a car breakdown or emergency flight home... Got a letter out of the blue stating that due to six months of inactivity, the card was closed and I was free to reapply.

That's what I was thinking. If the card is close to expiring, they might have sent you a new one. When you do get a new one, you always get a new security code with it.
 
Thing is, the card doesn't expire for two years. It isn't a credit card, just a debit card.

And wouldn't they have sent a letter or something about owing money?
