App Store Updates keeps showing "invalid address"?

Question

App Store Updates keeps showing "invalid address"?

On my Ipad, Apps store shows that there are 6 updates available. When I update all, an "Invalid Address" message shows on my screen.

I press continue and verified that the account information showing on the next screen is correct; however, when I attempt to update again, the "Invalid Address" message shows up again. I tried turning the my IPad off then on again to see if that would correct it; however, the "Invalid Address" keeps showing each time I try to update. Has anyone in the community come across this before? Can someone please assist me? Thanks.

iPad, iOS 4.3

There are a number of threads about it - it looks like Apple recently updated their address validation. Some people have recorded success by :

ensuring that their iTunes account address is exactly the same as appears on their credit card bill
putting something in the second line of the address (including just copying the first line)
expanding abbreviations e.g. St to Street, Ave to Avenue etc (or conversely abbreviating)
putting apartment or suite number on the second address line

I came across the thread regarding the invalid address. In regards to my situation, I solved it using one of the replies. I verified my address using the United States Postal Services site (usps.com). Apparently, tne post office database does not show "Ct" in my address. I removed "Ct" to match it exactly with the Apple account information and it seems to work now. Thank you very much for your reply.
