Don't remember security Q's, and "rescue email" isn't working.

All I wanted to do was buy an album yet here I am almost an hour later trying to fix this bullcrap.
I recently started using a seperate itunes id (I used to share one with my family) that I created a while ago and since this is the first time I'm actually using it it is asking me to answer security q's and I honestly cannot remember what my answers were for the life of me. I tried to reset them using my "rescue email" but I have recieved nothing after about 14 tries. I attempted changing my alternate email, figuring that would change my rescue email, but I soon found out it would not. I am stuck not being able to change my security q's without my rescue email, and a rescue email that won't recieve and can't be changed. Now my account is locked and I've wasted time I could've spent listening to my new album had apple's purchasing process and customer service not been so atrocious.
I must say, this whole thing has really turned me off from apple and while I was considering switching to iphone after years of dedication to galaxy I'm not sure I want to anymore.
$5 and the biggest hug you've ever seen to ANYONE who can help me fix this. I will be eternally greatful.

  • I've had an Apple ID under an old email address. I have a new Apple ID under my current email. Is there a way to link or merge the two together? I don't remember the old password and that email address is no longer active.

    I've had an Apple ID under an old email address. I have a new Apple ID under my current email. Is there a way to link or merge the two together? I don't remember the old password and that email address is no longer active. If I cannot link or merge the two, how can I activate the old ID on the new computer if that email account is no longer active?? Any advice would be great. Thanks in advance!!

    You cannot merge accounts.
    You need to sign into the old account on your computer.

  • HT201363 Can't remember security question answers and the email I use as Apple Id is no longer active, so I can't get a rescue email/ or verification, what do I do!!!??

    Can't remember answers to security questions and email for apple Id is no longer active, what do I do? Yes I have rang apple and they say I have to answer questions!!!

    What number did you ring ? You won't be able to update your rescue email address until you can answer 2 of your questions. You should be able to get them reset either by contacting iTunes Support or calling Apple.
    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 you can then use the steps half-way down this page to update your rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312

  • HT5312 Forget my security question answers AND rescue email.

    Didn't the link to contact the iTunes Store staff in the 'Additional Information' section of that article work for you? If you don't already have a valid rescue email address, only Apple itself can reset the questions.
