I am trying to use my Apple ID to download apps however when I put in address details it says my postcode is invalid. I am using an Irish postcode however have also tried different variants of 0000 and a UK postcode and nothing seems to be working??

Postcode not valid for Apple ID I setup an Apple ID about 17 years ago but I haven’t used an apple product in about 10 years. I recently got an iPad but when I try to install an app I get: ”this Apple ID hasn’t been used in the iTunes Store. Tap review to sign in, then review your account information” I then click on review and am brought to a “complete your Apple ID” window. Ireland is selected already, I select “agree to terms and conditions” and click on “next”. The next window asks for my billing name and address, my old address is entered already but without a postcode. I update the address and postcode but then it says it the postcode is invalid. It’s the correct Irish postcode. I’ve tried leaving it blank, enter four zeros, enter six zeros, the word “none” but none of this works. Any ideas?

Unable to add billing address with Irish postcode When I try to add a billing id on the App Store on my MacBook, it won't accept my postcode. When I try to enter a postcode in the eircode format (i.e. "WW00X123") I'm given the following error message: "postcode may be empty, or for Dublin, please enter a one-or-two-digit code, or a digit followed by a letter." Of course I've tried various options, no postcode, a "one-or-two-digit code, or a digit followed by a letter", but in either case, I'm given an error message. What's slightly irritating about this error message, it's that I've actually been experiencing the same error message for about four years now on different occasions. Using different postal addresses (I've moved house), different email addresses, but always the same error message. I need to buy a new phone, and was thinking of getting an iPhone, but if I can't install apps, then that's a non-runner.
