  • How to Fix iTunes and Appstore’s “Invalid Address” Error

    Apple just recently changed the way it validates addresses on iTunes accounts, this means that if you have a US iTunes account with a fake address or one generated from any service like fakenamegenerator you will get an error that says “Invalid Address”.

     

    The solution to this problem is fairly simple. All you have to do is replace your fake address with this address:

    1 Infinite Loop
    Cupertino
    CA 95014
    Number: 408 996 1010

    This is the address of Apple headquarters by the way. Just change the address on your iTunes account and you’re good to go.
