Trying to update apps but invalid address keeps popping up

Recently every time I try to purchase apps or update apps on my iPad a badge pops up saying "Invalid Address tap continue to sign in" I hit continue and my address is correct, but my credit card 3 digit code is missing. I enter that and tap done I then try to update again and the same invalid address badge pops up again. This problem just started this week and it's very frustrating. I tried changing my password and now I'm having the same issue on my iPhone 4. Has anyone seen this or have any advice? Thanks

KevBlack's suggestion worked. Steps:
1. I logged in to my credit card site to verify how my address was listed. I had my apt number listed as Unit 12 on Address Line 1.
2. I logged into iTunes website and changed my Address Line 1 from '#12' to 'Unit 12' and saved to match my credit card address line.
3. I then tried to update my Apps in my iPhone and encountered the invalid error message again and entered my password.
4. This brought me to the Credit Card page where I entered my 3 digit code. I verified that the address was bearing the change I had made in Step 2, and it was.
5. I submitted and my apps began to download resolving the issue.
It seems that the validation is occuring for the credit card address on this line where Apple iTunes account is looking for an identical match from your credit card site OR maybe the '#' may be causing the issue.
In either case I agree with BlueHarbor that Credit Card Info should not matter if your Update is a free one, which it was in my case.
Seems like Apple customer service needs to clean this process up a bit or LET THEIR CUSTOMERS KNOW IN ADVANCE BEFORE INTRODUCING CHANGES THAT MAY AFFECT THEM since we are all scrambling after the fact to find out why our app updates failed and the error messages are not specific about which address is invalid (credit card vs. email address)
Thanks KevBlack for the help.

HT1311 How do you get an old apple Id off existing apps. I am trying to update apps but old appleid keeps coming up instead of new one that was added to settings

How do I remove an old appleid from iPhone. A new one has been updated in destined but when I go to update apps that were installed using old userid still appears. The old I'd is not active and doesn't exist any more so I need to change the id that the apps are associated with.

Indeed. I changed my ID some time ago, and now have to pay the very minor price of signing back in with the apropriate ID to uodate apps bought with that ID. Not a major problem.

When trying to update apps an invalid apple id show up and I cannot get the apple id to update to the same id, I have restored, restored as a new phone, I have been into the manage I am at wits end after 7 hours on hold and working with techs.

Finally got through to tech support and found someone who seemed to know what was going on, he walked me through and using appleid.applesupport got me to a point where i could get a new password for the apple id that kept showing up.
I think you were on the right trail and I want to say thanks for your help. Much appreciated

You need to delete and redownload them to do that. This may require repurchasing paid ones.

I am trying to update apps but different apple id is associated with updates than the general settings.How do i change id in itune store?

As I stated, you cannot change the Apple ID that an app asks for, it is forever tied to the Apple ID that was used to purchase the app. You need to use the password for the Apple ID that was used to purchase it.
Apps are not transferrable.

Trying to update apps but keep getting message that my Apple ID can't be used to purchase from the iTunes store but it works on my iPhone & computer?

OS is 5.1.1 but it says no updates available. I've had the iPod for a few years but if I remember right it's 3rd Gen. Model #MC011C. I have no problems purchasing or updating apps on my iPhone, and I went to iTunes in my computer and purchased a song just to see if I could, and didn't have any problem. And I have tons of memory left on the iPod.

Thank you for your answer
I went to the App Store app and selected "Updates" along the bottom menu. It said 11 updates were available. I then chose "Update All." Before any updates could begin, the message popped up that "This Apple ID cannot be used to make purchases from the iTunes Store." That popped up twice, then the same message with, "Please enter another Apple ID" added. I tried 3 separate times (getting all 3 pop-up messages each time). I then tried updating apps via the App store app on my iPhone 4 and it worked fine. Then I signed into the iTunes store on my computer and bought a song (thankfully one I like ) and that worked fine. I tried on my iPod one more time before finally coming here to post a question.
A few minutes after posting my question (and the reason I came back here, not knowing I'd received an answer) I thought I'd try one more time. This time, it worked with no problem and all the apps updated. So I don't know if somehow my purchasing something in iTunes on my computer helped, or creating this community ID did, or if it was just some temporary glitch. Whatever it was, it's working now. Hopefully it doesn't happen again.
Thanks again!

Trying to update app but asking me to sign in to another unknown account ID

Hi,
I have the app store icon in my dock indicating that an app has an update. I click the app in the the update section and another window appears telling me I have updates for other accounts and that I need to sign into that accound to update applications for that account. The email address for that account is unknown to me. I am not aware of anyone having hacked my account, but it is in the back of my mind naturally that this has occurred. I have changed password on my account so far. I cannot delete the update from the app store even though I have deleted the iphone app from my itunes list. Any thoughts.
Cheers

When a stranger's Apple ID appears for app updates, it usually involves a pirated app that has been hacked by using the receipt file form the starngers account. Which app is reporting a need for an update when this stranger's account appears?

Trying to update apps but they are "waiting"

App store tells me I have 6 "upgrades" available. Top right, I click "upgrade all". Then I look at the icons for the Apps and they all say "waiting" and are not upgrading.
What is the problem? I have never seen this happen in the past

HI,
I haven't seen this issue yet on my iPad. But I have had it on my iPhone. I just did a hard reset. Hold top (power) button and bottom (home) button until the white "" appears. Then I updated the Apps on iTunes rather than on my iPhone and synced it and the Apps were updated.
Hope this helps.

It says there isn't enough storage on my iphone to take photos or update apps but there is?

I keep trying to take photos and update apps but my phone keeps telling me there's not enough storage.
In my settings on iCloud it says there is 15GB storage with 8.6GB available though?

Hi
Thanks for replying. In general it says 10.1MB available, 13.5GB used
Does this mean I've got to delete my photos and other stuff off to make some room?

Trying to update my apps with current email but old email keeps popping up!??

Trying to update my app store and it keeps popping up my old email address. How can you change it to your current one? Im trying to sign in but my old one pops up and even when I type in the correct password for the old one it. Says invalid but I want my current email!? HELPPP!!

Did you update your old iTunes account or create a new one ? If you updated the old one then try logging out of your account by tapping on your id in Settings > Store and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on the iPad. If you created a new account then you will need to continue to use the old account to download updates to its apps (or to redownload its content) - content is tied to the account that bought/downloaded it and it can't be transferred to a different account.

If you dont have none option then you must own itunes some money. So you have to enter the payment like a itunes giftcard. you can contact itunes by email by going to expresslane.apple.com

HT201210 Ok so I'm trying to update my iPad, and it keeps "timing out." I got to the actual update process, and it failed and asked me to restore my iPad, but I just can't lose all of my apps and photos! Someone please help.

Ok so I'm trying to update my iPad, and it keeps "timing out." I got to the actual update process, and it failed and asked me to restore my iPad, but I just can't lose all of my apps and photos! I payed for a lot of my apps, and my photos are just too important. Someone please help!

If rhe apps and photos are that important you made sure that you took the steps in order to keep them safe in an event like this didn't you?
You did backup the iPad before you decided to update the iPad correct?
And you did transfer all of your apps and other purchases into iTunes before you decided to update correct?
If you did, just restore the iPad and then restore from the backup at the end of fhe process and follow that with a sync with iTunes and you will lose nothing,
Now if you didn't do any of the precautionary steps ....
