How can I change or add a rescue email address?

I have forgotten my security questions and don't want to contact apple support, I have been told by an apple genius that I can get an email to reset them. I have looked and and you need a rescue email address, which I don't have, whhich takes us back to my original question; How can I change or add a rescue email address?

Without a rescue email you will have to call Apple to change your security questions:

How do i re-set up my rescue email address?

i am trying to reset my sercurity questions and i cant seem to get it to work with my email.... can i change the email?

You won't be able to change your rescue email address (nor add one if you don't currently have one) until you can answer your questions - you will need to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset.

Do you remember the answers to your security questions ? If you do then log into your account on http://appleid.apple.com, select the Password And Security section of your account's page, answer the two questions that show and you can then add a rescue email address : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5620
If you don't remember your answers then you will have to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset.

HT5312 How can I add a rescue email address

How do I add a rescue email address. Have been in passwords and security but not getting the
option to add a rescue email,

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You need to answer your security questions to add a rescue address, if you don't know these.
If you don't know these you should contact AppleCare who will initially try to assist you with a reset email or if unsuccessful will pass you to the security team to reset your security questions for you.
If you are in a region that doesn't have international telephone support try contacting Apple through iTunes Store Support.

HT5312 If I can't remember my security questions, and don't have a rescue email address, why can't I just add a rescue email to my apple ID account without having to contact iTunes Support?

If I can't remember my security questions, and don't have a rescue email address, why can't I just add a rescue email to my apple ID account without having to contact iTunes Support?

I verify my identity just by logging in with my password, not being able to add a rescue email address without answering the security questions is just extra hastle and doesn't increase security. No one knows my password so how could they break into my account? I understand having security questions to change your password but not for adding an email address.

Can I change my actual (main) iCloud email address, and if so how?

Can I change my actual (main) iCloud email address, and if so how?

Once you have created an iCloud account and chosen an @icloud.com address to go with it you can't change the address (short of creating an entirely new account).
However, all is not lost. You can add up to three 'email aliases' - these are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main account. (In fact it's a good idea to give out alias addresses, rather than the main address, because if they attract spam you can easily change them.)
You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account or move it to another account.
More information on aliases here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a490a

How do i add a rescue email address to an already existing apple id? The only option it gives me, under the manage my apple id category, is an alternate email. I am trying to make my alternate email address my rescue email address.

How do i add a rescue email address to an already existing apple id? The only option it gives me, under the manage my apple id category, is an alternate email. I am trying to make my alternate email address my rescue email address. I am new to this community thing.

Note that the rescue email address is not on the "Name, ID and Email Address" page -- you need to click on "Password and Security" on the left side. Even after you do that, it may or may not be available. As noted in the following it is only available if you have 3 security questions and are not using 2-step verification: Manage your Apple ID primary, rescue, alternate, and notification email addresses

Dear support team, my security is not avalable now ! how can i change it similar to my email accout?

If the old ID ("email address") is your ID, and if your new ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

I have a new iPad. I am using Comcast as my email provider but when I send a message, it pulls up the facebook email addresses for my contacts instead of the addresses stored in my comcast account. How can I get rid of the Facebook email addresses? The comcast addresses are stored in the comcast (xfinity) app. I do not use the "mail" or "contacts" apps ....I go straight to comcast (xfinity). I wish I could start over!!! thanks.
iPad

I could be wrong, but it sounds like Facebook imported to your contacts. I have the Xfinity app on my new ipad, too, but none of my stored contacts from the online version are showing, only what I manually entered into the iPads contacts are there. When I did add the FB app, I did not grant it permission to push and pull from my ipad (not a fan of FB knowing every detail about me), so that may be where our difference lies. You could try to open the app and change your privacy settings, or delete it and then reinstall without granting permissions to integrate.
I'm sure someone here with a lot more knowledge then me can probably diagnose your issue better, though. Good luck!
