I see there is no way to change the security questions i set up when I first purchased my ipod touch. Software takes you in circles with no help

I see there is no way to change the security questions i set up when I first purchased my ipod touch. All the answers I get do not work. Can't by another device until I get around this issue.

Or you can email iTunes Support at iTunes Store Support.
If all else fails:
  1. Go to: Apple Express Lane;
  2. Under Product Categories choose iTunes;
  3. Then choose iTunes Store;
  4. Then choose Account Management;
  5. Now choose iTunes Store Security and answer the bullet questions, then click
      Continue;
  6. Sign in with your Apple ID and press Continue;
  7. Under Contact Options fill out the information and advise iTunes that you would
      like your security/challenge questions reset;
  8. Click Send/Continue.
You should get a response within 24 hours by email.
In the event you are unsuccessful then contact AppleCare - Contacting Apple for support and service.
Another user had success doing the following:
I got some help from an apple assistant on the phone. It is kind of round about way to get in.
Here is what he said to do and it is working for me...
  a. on the device that is asking you for the security questions go to "settings", > "store" >
      tap the Apple ID and choose view"Apple ID" and sign in.
  b. Tap on payment information and add a credit/debit card of your preference then select
      "done", in the upper right corner
  c. sign out and back into iTunes on the device by going to "settings"> "store" > tap the
      Apple ID and choose "sign-out" > Tap "sign -in" > "use existing Apple ID" and you
      should be asked to verify your security code for the credit /debit card and NOT the
      security questions.
  d. At this time you can remove the card by going back in to edit the payment info and
      selecting "none" as the card type then saving the changes by selecting "done". You
      should now be able to use your iTunes store credit without answering the security
      questions.
It's working for me ...I just have to put in my 3 digit security pin from the credit card I am using.
Good Luck friends!

    is there any way to change the number of pages that appear when you hit the history button? I would like to see fifty or one hundred instead of just fifteen. so I don't have to take the extra steps and time to move ahead and then choose today for example.

    I wonder wheteher Apple can track the device, given the model and the serial number that identifies it?
    No. Apple has no way of doing that.
    If you configured your iPad with a password, its contents will remain completely inaccessible and secure. To be useful, the iPad will need to be erased first, but there is no way for you to prevent someone from doing that.
    If you had enabled Find my iPad in Settings > iCloud prior to giving it to someone, you can locate it using iCloud. However, that will no longer be an option once that someone erases it.

  • I had to change my password, and need to change my security questions, as they are wrong. Apple won't let me change the security questions unless I answer the old ones, which I cannot do. Suggestions please for how I can change my security questions.

    I had to change my password and did so succesfully, but cannot change my original security questios. To make new security questions, Apple wants me to answer my old security questions, which I cannot do to their satisfaction, as my answers do not match their answers on file. Is there a way to change my security questions without being able to answer my orignal questions first?

    Why not? If you're the owner then you should know your own question/answer combination as you created them.

  • HT1918 How can I change the security questions on my Apple ID account?

    I am editing my account and would like to change the security questions to other more familiar to me. Do you know how to do it? Thanks.

    If you can remember them their current answers you can login here and change them : https://appleid.apple.com , click on 'Manage your Apple ID' and then 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of your account's page
    If you can't remember their answers and you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then see if the instructions on this user tip helps you get them reset : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551

  • I don't have the password of my alternative email, how can i change the security question's answers?

    I need to know URGENTLY because, i bought an itunes card, now that money is in my account, but i logged in with my Apple ID in my mac and it says hat i have to answer the security questions (which, i don't remember) because it's a new device etc. Please, i need to know how to change the security questions because i dont have the passsword of my alternative email!

    If you don't have access to your rescue email account (an alternate email address is a different address/setting on your account) then you will need to contact iTunes Support or Apple to get the questions reset.
    e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then 'Forgotten Apple ID security questions'
    or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312 . Or, if it's available in your country, you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570

  • When i want to change the security questions they sent an email to a different email address then the alternate email addresses

    when i want to change the security questions they sent an email to a different email address then the alternate email addresses

    The reset link will send reset info to the rescue email account that you put on your account - alternate email addresses are different email addresses, they are not used for resetting questions.
    If you don't have access to your rescue email account (you won't be able to change it until you can answer your questions) then you will have to contact Support in your country (and which is therefore on your iTunes account) to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : Contact Apple for help with Apple ID account security
    If your country isn't on that page then try this form and explain and see what they reply with : https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
    When they've been reset you can then change your rescue email address for potential future use (but it can't be the same as any other address on the account) : Manage your Apple ID primary, rescue, alternate, and notification email addresses
    Or if it's available in your country you could change to 2-step verification : Frequently asked questions about two-step verification for Apple ID
