How do I get a rescue email without calling Apple??

I have no idea how to reset my security questions but I know I have to set up a rescue email...stupid me. I don't know how to do that either....help??

You probably have to call Apple, because your rescue email was not set up before you forgot the security questions. However, you may be able to do it over the Internet. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699

  • How do you get a rescue email without knowing your security questions

    Hey, So I know this sounds pretty stupid at first, but let me explain a bit; I made my apple Id on my I Pod Touch, and it asked me to make security questions (in which I made two, this is where the "fun" begins), however it didn't ask me to make a rescue email as that was going to just be my E-mail account and the link to change the security passwords isn't appearing, and as such I now am stuck: with two security questions that I don't remember the answers too and I don't have the option to send the info I need to my e-mail account, If you can help me; that would be apreciated

  • How can i add a Rescue Emile without calling apple support ?

    hello , i want to add a rescue emile to my apple id and i can't , i cant either call them because i'm in SA and they don't have a number to call here so please help me .

    You can't add a rescue email address without being able to answer 2 of your security questions, you will need to contact Apple to get them reset.
    As South Africa isn't on this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699 , then you can try contacting them via this link, saying that you don't have a rescue email address and that you are in South Africa (which isn't on the HT5699 page) and see what they reply with : https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
    When they've been reset 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

  • How do I use my rescue email as my apple id?

    My original apple id was created before I was old enough to have a real email so it is a fake account. I have a functioning email account now and I want to use that as my apple id. However, the email I want to use is my "rescue" email. What I'm wanting to do is make my real email my apple id and make the fake one my rescue. I need to back my phone up with iCloud and I need email verification to do that. Any and all help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Hello Heather_M_D,
    I found an article on how to change your Apple ID to another email account. 
    Apple ID: Changing the email address you use for your Apple ID
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5621
    You would have to verify a few conditions first :
    Ensure that the email address you enter:
    Is one that you regularly use since this will be the primary email for your account
    Is a valid email address
    Is not already associated with another Apple ID you have
    Is not an address that ends in @mac.com. @me.com, or @icloud.com
    If you meet all those conditions (you might have to dissociate the recovery email from your current Apple ID) and your current Apple ID does not end with @mac.com. @me.com, or @icloud.com, you would follow these steps from the article:
    Follow these steps to change the primary email address for your Apple ID:
    Go to My Apple ID (appleid.apple.com), click "Manage your Apple ID," and sign in.
    With the Name, ID, and Email Address drawer selected, click Edit next to Apple ID and Primary Email Address.
    Enter your new email address.
    Best,
    Sheila M.
