Answering security questions

don't remember the answeres to my security questions

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Start here, and reset your security questions, you will receive an email to your rescue address, then go to manage your account > Password and Security and set your security questions.
If that doesn't help or you don't have a rescue address, you might try contacting Apple throughiTunes Store Support

From a Kappy post
The Three Best Alternatives for Security Questions and Rescue Mail
1. Use Apple's Express Lane.
Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; click 'See all products and services' at the
bottom of the page. In the next page click 'More Products and Services, then
'Apple ID'. In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Forgotten Apple
ID security questions' and click 'Continue'. Please be patient waiting for the return
phone call. It will come in time depending on how heavily the servers are being hit.
2. Call Apple Support in your country: Customer Service: Contact Apple support.
3. Rescue email address and how to reset Apple ID security questions.
A substitute for using the security questions is to use 2-step verification:

I have an iPod 5th generation and it is my second iPod but when I try to buy a song it says I need to answer security questions but they are ones I don't recognize or know the awnser to!! Help!!

My second iPod is a 5th generation and when I try to buy something it says it needs make sure I am who I say I am and it makes me answer security questions. But the problem is I don't know the answers to them. I did not choose them. And if I can't find an answer I can't buy anything!!! Help!!!!

You need to log in to your Apple ID and change you security questions. Take a look at this link, http://www.apple.com/support/appleid/

When I go to buy something it makes me answer security questions I don't remember and when I try to reset them it doesn't email me a link?

I got a $25 itunes card and loaded it onto my account no problem, then I go to buy some music and it makes me answer security questions I don't remember so I requested for the link to reset them (I've done it numerous times many days in a row) and the link never sends. I've also done many things on the apple website and tried using the itunes store on my laptop and nothing is working. Help?

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.

HT5312 Help!!! I am at my wits end. Can anyone tell me how to have my security questions re-set? Truth is I do not even remember the questions and so dont know the answers I keep getting refered to 'answer security questions' when I reset my password hel

Hi can anyone help me with the solution to get my security questions and answers re-set?
I have done everything the site asks you to do/ reset passwords/ confirm re-send mail and so on BUT the site still does a 360 back to answer security
questions to confirm your identity....that is the point -I do not rememeber the questions and certainly therefore dont remember answers to questions that I am supposed to recall....so what do I do?
For the last 8 months ++ I've gone full circle and am at my wits end?
Anyone have some deep wisdom on this issue
Thanks and regards

My apple ID was hacked. Trying to reset password but the email never reached my account. Trying to answer security questions, the birthday was changed. I am really miserable. Can anyone shed some light, please?

My gmail email is my apple ID. I found I lost access of gmail last night and I reset the password before bed. But this morning the password was changed again. My ipad also requested a password that didn't match to the one I used. I have reset my gmail once more. In addition, I added 2-step verification. But I have not received any new mail up to now. I tried to reset my apple ID. When I selected sending an email for resetting, the mail was sent but never reached my mailbox; When I selected answering security questions: the birthday was wrong. It's been changed. I am SO SO UPSET. Can any genius take pity on me and show me some guidance, please?

You should get Apple involved in sorting this out. Start at this site:
https://getsupport.apple.com/Issues.action
Your Apple ID can be handled through iTunes.

HT1689 me and my husband both have iphones 4 on the same itunes account but he cannot purchase anything cuz it keeps sayin its a new device and he needs to answer security questions.the questions are not what we set up the acct with. help!

My husband and I both have i phone 4 on the same itune acct but his phone is saying its a new device and will not let him buy anything off of our acct without answering security questions. these questions are not the ones we set up the acct with. my iphone device is not having this problem. Help!

I don't know if I'm asking this all in a way that can be understood? Thanks ED3K, however that part I do understand (in the link you provided!)
What I need to know is "how" I can separate or rather create another Apple ID for my son-who is currently using "my Apple ID?" If there is a way to let him keep "all" his info on his phone (eg-contacts, music, app's, etc.) without doing a "reset?') Somehow I need to go into his phone's setting-create a new Apple ID and possibly a new password so he can still use our combined iCloud & Itunes account?
Also then letting me take back my Apple ID & password, but again allowing us (my son and I) to use the same iCloud & Itunes account? Does that make more sense??? I'm sincerely trying to get this cleared up once and for all----just need guidance from someone who has a true understanding of the whole Apple iCloud/Itunes system!
Thanks again for "anyone" that can help me!!!

Ok, so I had the same problem. What you should do is, call the
Apple Technical Support number: (44) 0844 209 0611
And ask for the Account Security Team. This worked for me.
