Can't select the third security question

Hi
I posted this under a different title, thought I'd try again as no luck.
I can't make any purchases as I keep getting asked to set up questions etc. problem is the third question box won't drop down for me to select a question.
Anyone know what's going on?
Cheers

Just adding my two cents. Brand new iPhone my wife got yesterday, trying to download some apps, prompts for security question. First two questions can be selected and an answer put in fine, 3rd question will not prompt a list of options. It's as if no options are there for the 3rd question and so the button does nothing.
Until it's resolved I can't seem to use the app store at all.
Brand new iphone, fully up to date, brand new apple id.
There's at least 2 threads on this subject have posted this to both of them to try and generate some noise.

  • When i try to download an app and i have entered my password i am asked to add some security questions. I can add two questions and an alternative e-mail address, however it will not let me select the third security question.

    Thanks Liam. After the second ap download it asked me three security questions on iTunes and on my MAC it allowed me to set up these with no error on the third question. iPAD 3 now downloads apps fine.
    Apple really need to sort out this issue or provide guidance on this. Two days of the unit not really being fit for purpose - what use is an IPAD without the ability to download aps.
    Also NO Response from Apple via online tech support and it's now been nearly 24 hours - I was told by telephone support I would get a response within 24 hours or less, as also stated in the email response too!??
    It would be good to get a formal response from Apple on this rather than radio silence.

  • How can I restore the 2 Security question for iTunes account

    How can I restore the 2 security questions at the iTunes account in case I forgot my original answers?

    Even though I have a credit card I manage my iTunes account use gift cards. I prefer to keep the credit card for emergency purposes only since it's too easy for me to get carried away with it and run up the balance.
    The problem here is in the Canadian iTunes Store you _can not_ use store credits for software or game purchase. According to this post - http://forums.ilounge.com/showthread.php?t=231967 - it is apparently against Canadian tax laws and commerce restrictions to purchase these with store credits or gift cards. Also as suggested in other posts here using PayPal to add credits to your iTunes account will not work since they are credits.
    I don't really understand the issue here. I pay cash for my store credits and I pay cash to pay off my credit card. My gift cards were probably bought with a credit card. This will restrict sales in Canada since I would guess the majority of iPod owners are too young to obtain a credit card.

    How do I reset the 2 security questions , Best childhood friend and where you were Jan 1 2000

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Contact Apple through iTunes Store Support, and explain that you have forgotten your 3 security questions, that you can reset your password, but doing so doesn't reset your security questions.
    Explain that after resetting your password, you are still asked for the answers you have forgotten, before you can gain access to My Apple ID > Manage your account > Password & security, which is where you need to be to change your answers.
    Remember, support will receive hundreds, if not thousands of requests per day, some from people trying it on, others with little explanation and others that are written extremely poorly. Take the time to explain your situation properly, be precise and concise, brief but comprehensive.

  • HT5312 How can I reset the iTunes security questions i forgot

    Ok i want to make a purchase but can't because i need to answer security questions i forgot them. How do I reset them through email because i cannot call so is there a way to reset through email ?

    Hello Chris,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities.  I found some information about how to reset your security questions if you have forgotten the answers:
    What should I do if I don't remember the answers to my Apple ID security questions?
    Try answering them at least once to see if you can get them right, even if you are not sure you remember the answers to your security questions.
    If you are confident you can't remember them, try one of the following:
    If you have three security questions and a rescue email address
    sign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to send an email to your rescue email address to reset your security questions and answers. 
    If you have one security question and you know your Apple ID passwordsign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to reset your security question.
    If you have one security question, but don't remember your Apple ID passwordcontact Apple Support for assistance. Learn more about creating a temporary support PIN to help Apple confirm your identity when you contact Apple Support.
    Note: If you have forgotten your password and answer your security questions incorrectly too many times in a row, you will be unable to try to answer your security questions for a period of time. During that time you will not be able to reset your password and will not have access to your account.

  • Can you send the reset security question to my email

  • I can't get passed the 3 security questions to download an app why is this?

    Why  can't I get passed the third security question when trying to down load an app - what is the solution to this -this is happening on both my iPhone and iPad

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    You might try to see if you can change your security questions. Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account > Password and Security.
    I'm able to do this, others say they need to input answers to their current security questions in order to make changes, I'm inclined to think its worth a try, you don't have anything to lose.
    If that doesn't help you might try contacting Apple through Express Lane (select your country, navigate to iCloud help and enter the serial number of one of your devices)

  • To download an App the 3 security questions are required. But at the end, apple is not able to complete the task and gives an error message. No more downloads are possible. What can I do?

    Very Important, how much Free Space is on your Hard Drive first of all? Click on the Macintosh HD on the Desktop, then do a Get Info on it.
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
    Do they launch OK while in Safe Mode?

    Thank you

    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
