HT5312 I forgot the answers for my security questions, now I can't get into my AppleID. All because my rescue email address has been deactivated due to inactivity. Now what?

Here is some bad luck.
I forgot the answers for my security questions. I want to buy an app in the app store but Apple keeps asking me these questions I can't remember the answers to. All because my rescue email address has been deactivated due to inactivity. Now what?
I tried to create my old email address again, but funny enough it told me that specific email address was already taken....

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.

  • I forgot the answers to my security questions... and I don't know how to make a rescue email address. pls help!

    how do I make a rescue address? and also how do I reset my security questions?

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed, filling out and submitting this form.
    It isn’t possible to create a rescue email address without supplying two of the answers. They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

  • HT5312 I can't remember the answers to my security questions.  How do I get them.  I've built a rescue email but don't know how to have the answers sent to it.

    How do I get iTune to send me the answers to my security questions or how to reset them.  I do have a rescue email address but don't know how to have the answers sent to it.

        b. Call Apple Support in your country: Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support
            and service.

  • I forgot my security question answers and my rescue email address has been deactivated.

    As I said in the title, I forgot my security question answers and my rescue email address has been deactivated. Conveniently, you must enter your security questions to change your rescue email. The answers to the security questions are sent to the rescue email, so I am stuck. My only option seems to be to call Apple Support, which is my entire Friday off spent on an aggravating phone call. If anyone can give my an alternative route for fixing my problem, I am all ears.
    Please Help.

    Alternatives for Help Resetting Security Questions and/or Rescue Mail
         1. If you have a valid rescue email address, then use this procedure:
             Rescue email address and how to reset Apple ID security questions.
         2. Fill out and submit this form. Select the topic, Account Security. You must
             have a Rescue Email to use this option.
         3. This is the only option if you do not already have a valid Rescue Email.
             These are telephone numbers for contacting Apple Support in your country.
             Apple ID- Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security. Select
             the appropriate country and call. Ask to speak to the Account Security Team.
         4. Account security issues almost always require you to speak directly to an
             Apple representative to securely establish your identity as the account holder.
             You can set it up so that Apple calls you, either immediately or at a time
             convenient to you.

             set up a rescue email address in order to reset them. You must set up
             the rescue email address beforehand.

    Hi Mva,
    If you set up a Rescue email address:
    Go into Manage Your AppleID, https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/, select Password and Security, and click the first option (see below), and you will be able to proceed from there..... (I HOPE the first button is showing for you!)
    Reset your password
    You can change or reset the password for your Apple ID account by providing some information.
    Select your authentication method.
    Email authentication: To access your information, we will send an email to the rescue email address on file for you.
      Answer security questions: To access your information, you will need to answer the security question(s) provided when you originally created your Apple ID.
    If you did not set up a Rescue email address:
    1. Go to Express Lane  and select 'iTunes' from the list of 'products' in the middle of the screen.
       Then select 'iTunes Store', and on the next screen select 'Account Management'
       Next choose 'Apple ID Account Security' and fill in that you'd like your security   
       questions/answers reset.
    You should get an email reply within about 24 hours (and check your Spam folder as well as your Inbox)
    2. Once your questions have been reset, and you set up new ones, also set up a RESCUE EMAIL ADDRESS, so if you forget them again, you won't have to go through all of this.....
    Hope this helps!
    Cheers,
