Apple Asking For Security Questions?

I have had an iTunes account now for about 4 years and now all of a sudden when trying to download an app on my itiuch it is asking me to set up 3 security questions and a backup email?
Is there a change in Apple Security or something?

    i just got a new ipad 2 and i can't buy stuff on it asks for security question when my apple id was right why

    It's a security feature that was brought in a few months ago - when you try to purchase something for the first time on a new computer or device then you will be asked for the answers to your questions (or to set them up if you haven't yet created them).

    You need to either reset the rescue email address's password(check the site's help for instructions) or 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.

  • TS1702 Asking for security question to be answered that I don't know the answer to.

    Itunes is asking fo security questions to be answered that I don't seem to know the answers to. Need help fixing this problem.

    If 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 then see if the instructions on this user tip helps : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551

  • TS3297 Won't let me buy music..... Keeps asking for security questions

    Me my brother and dad all share the same account. The fact that we can't buy music is very frustrating please help

    Do you know the answers to your security questions ? If you do then you should be able to answer them and be able to buy music (other people have also posted over the last couple of days about being asked for their answers despite it not being the first purchase on the computer or device).
    If you can't remember the 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 go 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 should 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 you won't get the reset option - you will need to contact iTunes Support or Apple to get them 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 you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570
