Can't get into my sons App Store keeps asking him to answer questions that we don't know answer to

On my sons iPod we can't get gift cards to work as it keeps asking him to answer questions since they replaced his iPod. We don't know answers to questions and can't reset

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: Contacting Apple for support or
          Apple ID- Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security. Ask to speak to
          Account Security.
     3.  Rescue email address and how to reset Apple ID security questions.

    If 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, if it's available in your country, you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570

  • How can I get into the Dutch App store?

    I am a Dutch Native living in the U.S. and since a few weeks the proud owner of an Ipad 2. I would like to download some Dutch apps for me and my son but I do not know how to get into the Dutch App store or how to find Dutch apps in the U.S. app store.

    http://store.apple.com/nl
    All the Apple online stores are just store.apple.com/(country-domain_suffix)
    Not sure about payment policies and such (that is, if you need a Netherlands credit card with a Netherlands billing address, or whether you can use a US credit card).

    iMovie was removed from my macbook pro after I downloaded OS X Yosemite, I had it before and have used it, but now I can only get it through the app store. I can't pay for it so I would really appreciate the help.

    Look in your applications folder for the installer - Install OS X Yosemite. Delete it. Then go back to the App Store purchases tab and see if you can download it. You might have to re-index Spotlight.

    10.9 is free, so you could upgrade to that if you wished
    if that's not an option for software compatibility reasons, you'd either need to re-install it from the original disks (that came with the computer, or a seperate iLife disc), a backup, or purchase a boxed version from someplace like eBay or Amazon (Amazon has iLife '11 for $39)

  • If I already own the retail box version of a program can i get it in the app store without paying

    If I already own the retail box version of a program can i get it in the app store without paying extra. for instance if I have Civ V can i utilize the mac app store to download extra content or redownload the game if i lose the disc?

    To swtch to the MAS for an app, wait for the next paid upgrade and if it is available in the MAS, buy it.

    Try this  - 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
    This works for some users. Not sure why.
    Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

  • App Store keeps asking me to download update for "Remote Desktop Client Update 3.8.2 v1.1 but I have never purchased Remote Desktop Client

    Hi, the App Store keeps asking me to download the update Remote Desktop Client Update 3.8.2 v1.1 but I have never purchased Remote Desktop Client so I am unsure why it is asking me to and worry that someone is trying to spy on me!  Does anyone know why this is?  Thanks in advance!

    I find it interesting that since Screen Sharing is available, and works "just fine" that a Remote Desktop Client would be needed to be installed.
    I installed it, but I'm not sure why.
    I found the updated application in /System/Library/Core Services/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent
    Which is also where the screen sharing and vnc bundles live.  I clicked on it to see what would happen -- nothing.
    I found these ports in another discussion
    TCP and UDP port 3283
    TCP and UDP port 5900.  (Also used for Screen Sharing in OSX 10.5 and later)
    port 22
    This page confirms their use along with the use of other ports:
    TCP and UDP ports used by Apple software products - Apple Support
    Additionally TCP port 5432 is used by ARD
    Having recently noticed (through "network utility" that my computers have had a "ton" of open connections.
    This severely hurt system performance.
    I note that neither my Airport Express nor my Mac can set up a firewall on these ports.
    While I haven't noticed the ARD ports being used, I cannot help but wonder if this is set up for a CIA/NSA backdoor into my computers.
    On a less paranoid level, perhaps Apple is planning on adding on-line help to debug our problems in "real-time".  ;-)

  • App Store keep asking to update for 10.9.4 and its already installed

    Hello ,
    In the past two days App Store keep telling me to update for 10.9.4 and its already installed on my laptop . and if i press to download App Store is downloading the whole mavericks again which is 5.* GB .
    in order to try solving the problem i went to apple website and downloaded the update manually 10.9.4 that fixes the same bugs , and i installed it . but App Store keep telling me to update something that its already installed !!! any suggestion please ?
    I'm using MacBook Pro 2011 late .
    8 GB Memory
    The existing OS X is 10.9.4 .
    Thanks ,

    @Barney-15E : i have only one hard disc divided into two partitions one for mac and the other for windows so i think its not a problem !!
    @quarkdoll : The thing I'm having is that the update pop's out sometimes and tells me to "Update to 10.9.4 as i said above" and mostly its telling me "No Update Available" . its really confusing !!
    Thanks !

  • My app store keeps asking for me to update my payment method as its about to expire so i enter my details and it keeps saying card declined , why is this ?

    my iphone app store keeps asking me to update my payment method every time a go to download something from the store , it says my method is about to expire so when i re-enter my card information it keeps saying that my card is declined , why is this?

    What sort of card are you trying to use ?
    If it's a debit card then I don't think that they are still accepted as a valid payment method - they are not listed on this page and there have been a number of posts recently about them being declined
    If it's a credit card then is it registered to exactly the same name and address (including format and spacing etc) that you have on your iTunes account, it was issued by a bank in your country and you are currently in that country ? If it is then you could check with the card issuer to see if it's them that are declining it, and if not then try contacting iTunes support and see if they know why it's being declined : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
