trying to update apps but invalid address keeps popping up

I had this same problem lastnight. I was on the phone with apple for about three hours attempting to fix this. Tried three different CC from two different companies and that did nothing. Took out all the CC info from itunes by selecting NONE for a CC and attempted to download a free App to no avail. Final Fix……..The apple tech on the phone suggested that I put in my neighbors address, which was four digits off from mine, and it WORKED. The system auto-corrected to my address and all was well. I hope this helps all that are having this problem. Not sure why this worked, but it fixed it for me.

It was the street address causing the issue for me. I changed "Street" to "ST" in my iTunes account so that it matches my CC address and that fixed it!

Worked, took me a while to figure out what happened, but it looks like iTunes decided that my street name was no longer valid if it included "DR" but instead now wants it listed as "Drive" even though in my credit card account the street name is listed as "DR". Exactly the opposite of what one of the commentors did to fix their issue. Go figure ....

And what a colossal waste of time this was trying to figure out what happened. I've had my iTunes account for 7 years, been using the same credit card, been living at the same house with the same address been using the abbreivated DR in my account, and all of a sudden Apple decides my address isn't good enough for them? I was also on the phone with Apple support and they had no idea how to fix this either ... in this case the left hand is not connected to the right one.

Same issue and it came out of nowhere. I changed the "Rd" to "Road" even though my bank card address uses the former and I use the same account on a second Apple account that worked fine and requires no changes. Anyway, tweaking the address seems to be the solution.

Same issue, been using the same address & credit card for years- didn't really believe the problem could be the address field, but it was! The only thing I changed was Court to Ct, thanks for the help- thought I was going crazy!!

EVERYONE- Go get your bank statement and make sure the address prompt values match exactly to the address on your statement. Apparently Apple has recently started using full address verification.

Thanks KevBlack

Yep. Been messing with it all day, then read thse posts and changed 'Suite' to 'Ste.' and that did it. Thanks for the help.

I agree, it would have been helpful if Apple would have sent an email explaining their new procedure.

+1 to changing abbreviations. I've had "Ave" for years. Today Apple decided it has to be "Avenue". Glad I found this thread! (Funny aside, my address also contains "SE" for "South East" but that apparently is an acceptable abreviation.)

Same problem... Went to my bank website and found out my address said "street" in itunes and "drive" on the bank website... Just matched itunes to the bank website and now it works.

had a similar issue and the changing of the states and doing this and that and restoring, reseting....up up down down B A start didnt work....the fix- your payment method- credit card/debit card address HAS tobe the same address of your banking statements....P O W !....promblem solved!

Same problem. It's outrageous the amount of time I've spent on this. The last app update I did was on May 2. I've changed all my credit card data, used the code on the back of the card multiple times, and my iPad, iPhone, and laptop are unable to connect without getting into the maddening infinite do-loop of "Invalid address... to Account... to update App, to Invalid Address..."

Thirty minutes with Apple just got puzzled comments asking me to go back into the infinite loop. Then to send a note to Apple Support, which I've done, with no answer yet a day later.

I don't have time for this...

Ha,ha... Changed "Drive" to "Dr"--I live on a Drive not a Street--so now my app updates work. Kinda pathetic really...

keep in mind that every time you have to punch in your CC Security Code iTunes hits your card with a $1 authorization that will fall off, but in my case I have not pinned down the address error and my CC company put a hold on my card due to the number of iTunes hits in a row.

Now I'm afraid to try again for a while... As far as I can tell there should be no errors.

Went on line and found that I had "Apt 3" on my credit card account, and #3 on my Apple account. For a couple of years it worked, and then Apple quietly changed the rules, apparently on ~May 5, without telling us. It would have been so much better, and saved a lot of time and frustration, if Apple had published the coming change. Apple should still put out a note as I know there are others stewing over this problem, or about to...

I changed "parkway" to "pkwy" even though my bank spells it out as 'parkway'. Itunes is killing me. I spent hours trying to figure this out!
