Why does Apple keep asking me to reset my security questions over and over again? How do they expect us to remember if we have to keep redoing it over and over again on the same day?

I had just redone all my security questions and committed them all to memory. Then the very next time I tried to log in-in oder to 'verify' they made me make up brand new ones. How does this 'verify' if they are new ones? How do they expect you to remember the security questions if they make you reset them over and over again on the the same day?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Go to Settings>iTunes and App Store and sign out and sign back in
- Reset your Apple ID password
How do I change or recover a forgotten Apple ID Password?
If you've forgotten your Apple ID Password or want to change it, go to My Apple ID and follow the instructions. SeeChanging your Apple ID password if you'd like more information.

  • Why does Apple TV ask for my credit card security code??

    Tried to rent a movie all day. Cannot get passed Apple TV asking for my credit card security code. Entering it does not work, changing the credit card in itunes does not work. Am able to rent directly on my phone (there's a wasted $6 but was curious if was itunes or Apple TV). What is going on???

    Thanks diesel....tried that as well, but failed to mention it in my OP. No luck. Also rebooted, unplugged, reset, etc....no luck as well. It has to be something on the ATV though since it rented just fine on my phone. I have 13 $1 pending charges on the 2nd credit card I tried, so it was looking, just not verifying.....strange. Have to think it wouldn't be my bank though, since again, renting on my phone went fine.

  • Why does Apple now force users to provide 3 security questions or use their ridiculous two step verification in order to download from the App Store?

    This is a total pain in the ***.  I've been using ios products since the launch of the iPhone 4 and they've suddenly changed to this nonsense?   Why does Apple treat its users like they're 4 years old?

    Those things are nothing new.  People were doing that three years ago and Apple felt their security was sufficient then.   I don't have a credit card on file so I'm not worried about anyone getting my credit card info. 
    I have sent my feedback to Apple.   Their response included "this is policy. There is no way around the security measures."  and "I have provided Apple's answer. There is no further escalation point or anyone I can transfer you to that is going to provide a different answer at this time." 

  • Why does Apple keep breaking the podcast app?

    Why does Apple keep breaking the podcast app?

    Here are my issues, maybe you can help... And yes "breaking" and "nightmare" are accurate descriptions of this update...
    1. Syncing is now impossible without WiFi or a Cellular connection. I've tried your guide in the other thread, but it didn't help.
    When I sync podcasts with iTunes, they DO NOT SHOW UP in the app unless I connect my iPhone 5S to WiFi or Cellular. As soon as I connect it to something, new episodes that I manually synced finally show up and can be played.
    2. Arranging the podcasts in any order is now pointless. Any sort of wireless connection will reset my order to a randomized one. It's not even "podcasts with the newest episodes on top", it's just random.
    3. Apple doesn't seem to allow any other podcast app to use the manual sync in iTunes. Am I wrong about that? I looked at countless paid apps and they all have their own cloud or system to only deliver episodes wirelessly...
    4. And that constant prompt about Cellular data access could drive anyone insane!
    I have never been this frustrated with an Apple product in my life...

  • HT1711 I backed up my iphone5 in the morning and later again on the same day, in the afternoon. I then restored an older backup from the morning. Now all my music files refuse to play even though they still appear on iphone. How can I resolve this?

    Most likely you have Office 2004 which are PPC-only applications and will not work in Lion. Upgrade to Office 2011. Other alternatives are:
    Apple's iWork suite (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.)
    Open Office (Office 2007-like suite compatible with OS X.)
    NeoOffice (similar to Open Office.)
    LibreOffice (a new direction for the Open Office suite.)

And how can i exot put of ot from restoring anymore?

    This is how you Reset  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

    I forgot my security question and my rescue email are the same as Apple ID so cannot reset my security question. Any advice on how to reset m security or add a rescue email ? Thanks

    If you don't have a rescue email address then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset you can use the steps half-way down the HT5312 page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use

    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.

  • My old Apple ID is still showing when i need to reset my security questions. And i am not able to buy on music on iTunes. someone help?!

    My old Apple ID is still showing when i need to reset my security questions. And i am not able to buy music on iTunes. someone help?!

    All apps, all paid and free apps include DRM protection which is tied to the iTunes account/Apple ID that was used to download the apps. You will need to use the Apple ID that was used to download the apps to install app updates.
    Apps downloaded with one Apple ID can't be transferred to another ID and accounts can't be merged.

  • I forgot my security question answers and i cant get the rescue email. I emaild the apple people and they cant do anything.

    I forgot my security question answers and i cant get the rescue email. I emaild the apple people and they cant do anything to fix it. the problem is i put the hundred dollar gift card on my account and now i cant use it on my mac and im really impatient now because this has been going on for a while! please if you have any answers just tell me how to fix it.

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

  • HT204074 I want to reset my security question but don't know how

    I'm trying to purchase apps using my iPhone but its asking me to answer 2 security questions and I have no clue what Passwords I used. And it won't give me an
    Me the options to reset it or hint nothing pls help I'm getting annoyed!

    When the iPhone crashes, locks up in a way that prevents the iPhone from responding to being turned off, or just isn't working as it should (you'd be surprised at how many problems can be solved by a simple reset) you need to reset the iPhone. Here's how:
    Reset the iPhone by holding the sleep/wake button at the top right of the device and the home button at the bottom center of the face at the same time.
    Hold them both until you see the screen go black. In some cases, you may need to keep holding them even after the red power off slider appears. If it does, just keep holding it.
    Wait until the white Apple logo appears.
    When this happens, you can let go - the iPhone is rebooting.
    An iPhone reset will not normally remove or delete any data or settings. However, the term reset is also sometimes used to mean deleting all content from the iPhone and/or restoring from a backup.
