Every time I call Apple Support, their reply goes straight to voicemail. This is proving extremely irritating, as I need to change my security questions. Help

As the earlier message said, I've been trying to reset my security questions. Should be easy, but every time I've called Apple support, their call goes straight to voicemail, saying I appeared to have missed them. No idea why it's doing this, and I kind of have to call from a cell, don't have a home phone. Any online alternatives? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Alternatives for Help Resetting Security Questions and/or Rescue Mail
     1. If you have a valid rescue email address, then use this procedure:
         Rescue email address and how to reset Apple ID security questions.
     2. Fill out and submit this form. Select the topic, Account Security. You must
         have a Rescue Email to use this option.
     3. This is the only option if you do not already have a valid Rescue Email.
         These are telephone numbers for contacting Apple Support in your country.
         Apple ID- Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security. Select
         the appropriate country and call. Ask to speak to the Account Security Team.
     4. Account security issues almost always require you to speak directly to an
         Apple representative to securely establish your identity as the account holder.
         You can set it up so that Apple calls you, either immediately or at a time
         convenient to you.
            1. Go to www.apple.com/support.
            2. Choose Contact Support and click Contact Us.
            3. Choose Other Apple ID Topics and choose the appropriate topic for
                your issue.
            4. Follow the onscreen instructions.
         Note: If you have already forgotten your security questions, then you cannot
         set up a rescue email address in order to reset them. You must set up
         the rescue email address beforehand.

  • Hi everybody! I forgot my security questions to my Apple ID, now I can't buy anything! How do I get the answers to or change my security questions?

    Hi everybody! I forgot my security questions to my Apple ID, now I can't buy anything! How do I get the answers to or change my security questions?

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

  • I had to change my password, and need to change my security questions, as they are wrong. Apple won't let me change the security questions unless I answer the old ones, which I cannot do. Suggestions please for how I can change my security questions.

    I had to change my password and did so succesfully, but cannot change my original security questios. To make new security questions, Apple wants me to answer my old security questions, which I cannot do to their satisfaction, as my answers do not match their answers on file. Is there a way to change my security questions without being able to answer my orignal questions first?

    Why not? If you're the owner then you should know your own question/answer combination as you created them.

  • Why when u call apple support they record the call ?

    why when u call apple support they record the call ?

    For training and evaluation. Managers will go back and listen to the calls to evaluate the agent's responses and answers to ensure they are doing a good job and provide corrective training to improve their skills. They may also use selected calls to play them for agents-in-training to provide examples of what to do and what not to do. See where training may be lacking, if they hear multiple agents making the same mistakes.
    Hard to say they record EVERY call, they get a lot of calls every day. That is probably a general notice in case your call is one that is recorded. Personally, I think Apple's recording pretty much a non-issue.

    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

    How do I create a new Apple ID every time I try apple says I can't because that email has been taken I've done it multiple times please help me

    An email address can only be associated with one Apple ID at a time. You will have to remove it from the other ID or use a different email address.

  • I put a case on my iPod touch 5 and now there is no sound coming from the speaker.  The head phones work though.  I called Apple Support and the 2 people I spoke with seemed baffled.  Has this happened to anyone and how do I resolve this?

    I put a Griffin case on my daughter's iPod Touch 5 and now there is no sound coming from the speaker.  There is sound when we use the headphones.  Is there a mute function that I may have switched on and if so how do I turn it off?
    It was a gift bought by her Godparents in January and I live in the islands so I can't just drive it back to the store to have them look @ it!
    Called Apple Support and spoke to 2 people who seemed baffled and who could only suggest I reset the device.  Who h has not helped.
    HELP!!!!!!!

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
    Apple - iPod Repair price                  
    A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.
    iPhone Repair, Service & Parts: iPod Touch, iPad, MacBook Pro Screens
    Replace the jack yourself
