App Store security questions keep timing out?

I am trying to download some new apps, and since I updated to IOS6 it keeps asking me to answer security questions and add an email, and every time I do, it says it has timed out no matter what I try?
Any tricks or suggestions?

Try going on to iTunes on your laptop/PC or whatever it is on find the app you want to download. Download it. Then go on to your iPad find it on the App Store and download it on there. It seemed to work for me as i to have been having problems with timing out. Seems to bypass the extra security and timing out issue :)

  • App Store Security Questions Wrong Language

    Hi I am experiencing a problem on the app store. I try to buy something off of the app store and it asks me to answer two security questions. The problem is the security questions are in spanish. I dont know what they are saying! How do I change the language? And also know I tried to answer them and my account was restricted for a while -_-

    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.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

  • Cannot download apps from apps store - security questions

    I updated my ipad to IOS6 on sunday and since then, I cannot download anything form apps store.
    I lets me update software already installed but does not install new apps.
    Every time I try, it asks me to fill in three security questions with their answers, which I do, but I receive the message session ended and to try again later, and doesn't download anything. I don't know how many times I've tried but without success.
    Please help me solve this inconveniance.
    Mónica

    Update: in trying to get past the security questions again during another attempt to download a new app a message appeared that the "back up" e-mail address was in use already. Strange, since I hadn't gotten anywhere so far, but sure. Entered a completely different e-mail address and voilá: the app downloaded.
    Accessed my Apple ID (https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/178/wo/7ZmOPsE0KGRtkD DSmlYfhw/4.0.83.145.1.0.8) and found out the following:
    - there is the primary e-mail address, also being your Apple ID
    - there is another e-mail address, in my case the one provided as an alternate e-mail address during answering the
      security questions while trying to download an app, which apparently and without any explanation is turned into an
      alternate Apple ID.
    - Because of this you need to supply yet another e-mail address (while answering the security questions in the app store
      when trying to download an app) as a recovery e-mail address in case you forget your answers to the security
      questions, since you apparently cannot use the ones that are used as your primary and the out of the blue created
      secondary one
    - subsequently accessing your Apple ID through the webpage you'll find all this back, including the questions and
      answers and an e-mail is sent to the provided recovery e-mail address for verification.
    Shoot me, but all this got me out of trouble (for now) to the detriment of my beauty sleep.
    Hope it works for all of you with this problem as well!

  • Mac App Store: Your session has timed out. Try again.

    Whenever i try to do anything in the Mac AppStore, i get the message Your session has timed out. Try again.
    I tried with and without two step verification. It all runs on a MacBook Pro and Yosemite - no updates available in the store to install. Updates, although with a workaround do install, weirdly enough.
    I am sorry if this question was asked before. Also the search here does not work today for me. Start feeling like i am using windows ME again…
    This is getting really frustrating.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of this test is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account. Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The "Guest User" login created by "Find My Mac" is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.

  • HT1688 my iphone keeps timing out when trying to access the app store

    once I get to the app store, it just keeps saying "loading..." how do I fix this??

    All apps are tied to the Apple ID they are purchased with and is not transferable.
    You should delete them and re-download them with your new Apple ID.

  • HT201210 Ok so I'm trying to update my iPad, and it keeps "timing out." I got to the actual update process, and it failed and asked me to restore my iPad, but I just can't lose all of my apps and photos! Someone please help.

    Ok so I'm trying to update my iPad, and it keeps "timing out." I got to the actual update process, and it failed and asked me to restore my iPad, but I just can't lose all of my apps and photos! I payed for a lot of my apps, and my photos are just too important. Someone please help!

    If rhe apps and photos are that important you made sure that you took the steps in order to keep them safe in an event like this didn't you?
    You did backup the iPad before you decided to update the iPad correct?
    And you did transfer all of your apps and other purchases  into iTunes before you decided to update correct?
    If you did, just restore the iPad and then restore from the backup at the end of fhe process and follow that with a sync with iTunes and you will lose nothing,
    Now if you didn't do any of the precautionary steps ....

  • TS1424 I have already downloaded wrath of the titans and watched it through but a download of the movie in the iTunes store still remains and also keeps timing out? This is preventing me from downloading any other movies onto my iPad any suggestions?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    or maybe:
    Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
    Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
    Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

  • Can anyone help me!!! i have an i pod touch and the 4 digit passcode has been forgotten. i have tried a number of times to restore the factory settings on i tunes and have put the i pod into recovery mode, but attempts keep timing out

    my son has forgotten his 4 digit pass code for hios i pod touch. i have been instructed to disable it and connect to i tunes to restore factory settings. when I do this the download time is anything up to 20 hours and it keeps timing out. it is now saying that i tunes cannot connect to the i pod because it is locked with a passcode and saying that i must enter the passcode - can anyone help?

    - To get around the passcode issue, place the iPod in recovery mode. For how to see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    - If you are getting a network timeout error during the restore, disable the computer's security software during the restore.

  • Using Home Sharing to transfer itunes library from old computer to new but connection keeps timing out...anyone have a solution?

    Hello everyone,
    I am attempting to use Home Sharing to import my itunes library from my old computer to new (as per instructions on this site), but the connection keeps "timing out" and so the import gets cut short.
    Both computers have the new itunes (I updated them last night), but only seem to get about 5 minutes (or 100 songs in) before the connection error occurs.
    I have an external hard drive and would use it to transfer my library (which is ~45GB) however my old computer isn't recognizing the hard drive so I thought Home Sharing was a good option...perhaps I was wrong?
    Help Please!
    Thanks

    You might need to make sure neither is going to sleep (System Prefs > Energy Saver)
    Also check your settings under System Prefs > Security. My sisters new laptop kept logging off due to some setting there.
