If you have a rescue email address (an alternate email address is different) on your account then you can use that to reset them : http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT6170
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions) then you will have to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT5699
If your country isn't on that page then try this form and explain and see what they reply with : https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
When they've been reset, and if you don't already have a rescue email address, you can then add one for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201356
Or if it's available in your country you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570

HT201209 How can I create an apple ID for my daughter, without adding a credit card to the account?

How can I create an apple ID for my daughter, without adding a credit card to the account? I have tried to purchase a gift card online, but it just credits it to my account; I cannot use it to credit her new account therefore I cannot create that account.

There are intructions on this page for how to create a new account without giving credit card details : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
e.g. log out of your account, find a free a free app in the store, click on its free 'price' :

Agree to the terms and fill in the details, and you should get 'none' on the payments screen.

I'd like to replace my hard drive. How do I know what to buy for my 15-inch early 2008 MacBook Pro?

I am out of room on my hard drive. I'd like to get a new hard drive and restore my data to the new drive from Time Machine. How do I know what kind of hard drive to buy for my 15-inch, early 2008 MacBook Pro? Also, how hard is this to do?

I have changed HDDs several times on the old MBP. Currently it has a Hitachi 500 GB HDD that came out of my new one. My adage is that one cannot have too much storage and I think that the 1TB HDD is an excellent choice. Not only do you get generous capacity, the performance should be (theoretically) comparable to a 750 GB 7200 rpm HDD. I will be very surprised if there are compatibility problems.
If you bought the HDD from OWC, you should have received Installation instructions. If not, go to the OWC website and look at the video. I actually downloaded it so that I could hand write the instructions down step by step. Also check out iFixit website. They have step by step instructions that may prove to be useful.
Tools you need: 00 Phillips and #6 Torx Drivers (get good ones). The instructions make mention of a plastic pry bar (spudger). I use a stiff piece of plastic like a credit card.
Tips to keep in mind: Get a large open table space and place a large clean towel on it. That will protect your MBP and when you drop a screw (and you will) it will not bounce far so you will not have to spend an hour looking for it.
As you take out a set of screws, keep them together (I use wide masking tape. The little screws will stick to it.)
Keep the sets in sequence. That will make reassembly much, much easier.
The most difficult steps are removing the keyboard from the MBP body and removing the ribbon cable from the mother board. In case of the former, work from the back (the display) to the front. You will initially have to pry it up and then do a lot of jiggling to remove it. Don't be too timid about it. At the end of the ribbon cable there is a rectangular connector. Use your credit card to remove it. Just pry it off.
The #6 Torx driver is used to take off the 4 mounting pins on the HDD and if I remember correctly there is another place where it is needed, specifically in the battery compartment ( I think). If the instructions don't say so, keep that in mind and inspect the screw before you select the driver.
Good luck and make sure that you don't have parts left over.
Ciao.

How can I see what I payed for all Apps I downloaded?

I want to see all the apps I downloaded and how much I payed for each but can't find out how to do that. I got a $100 gift card and I want track what i buy better

But is there a way for me to see what I payed for each app?
If you followed the solution that I gave you, then you would not need to ask the question, you would know that you could see the price you paid for each app.
I want to track what the gift card is being used for over the next year
The way an account works is that the credit from the gift card that you now have on your account will be charged first for anything that you buy in the iTunes Store, the iTunes App Store, the iBookstore and the Mac App Store. When the credit is exhausted then any further purchases will be charged to a listed bank card.

How do I get iTunes to look for music on my computer

Here's the problem: So on my old HP laptop I had around 5500 song files saved/stored in various locations all compiled for easy access through iTunes, as in I could access all of them there; standard, no problems, what everyone expects.
On it's last limb I completely backed the computer's C drive contents to an external harddrive. What I didn't expect was that there would be no organizational structure of the backup: merely 3 folders each containing a series of ~50-300 subfolders of backed up content (zipped, at that time, mind you). Around 88 GB in all, which is interesting because it was 140GB in size on the hp before being backed up.
Towards the process of unzipping all of them, I unzipped only the very first sub folder which contained around 50 song files (this isn't to say each folder just has songs; there's tons of other random files ranging from documents to programs to random coding) before opening iTunes for the first time.
This part is critical to understanding my issue. When I opened iTunes for the very first time and it was initializing its components, doing a startup etc., I had only unzipped that one folder; none of the hundreds of others had yet been unloaded onto my mac's harddrive and viewable as downloads.
During the guided installation process iTunes prompted me at one point and asked if it wanted to "search for music already on this computer" or something like that. I said yes and it seamlessly uploaded the 50 or so songs.
The problem is I wish I had waited until I unziped everything because I don't know how to access that feature again, in that I do not want to manually dig through each download folder and upload songs individually when I know there's a feature that can look through my computer's hard drive for me and upload mp3 and similar files in a fraction on an instant. For example, when I downloaded and opened Spotify, it did this on it's own (although it included a bunch of duplicate files so there's around 7700). Some may question why I don't just use Spotify for my library then and I'd respond by saying I don't like it, I'm not used to it, and iTunes is more compatible/easier to customize, create playlists, sync with iPhone, iPod, etc.
I've even tried completely uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes (using this method: http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=4045) to no avail; once I opened it again for the first time after reinstallation it already has included only those ~50 songs and doesn't prompt that "search for music on this computer" feature or whatever. I actually think that feature accompanied my mac as a startup, when I started the computer for the first time from factory settings.
I'm hesitant to completely wipe my computer because one, I've already been using it for a couple weeks and don't want to do another back up (I'm not very mac savvy if you can't already tell) and two I don't even know if that will work.
I want all my songs from my computer all accessible to one area: iTunes. Please help!

How to i set up my outbox (for Send Later messages) so that I control when the messages are sent?

When i compose a message but do not want to send it right away, i click on Send Later and it goes into my Outbox. It remained there until i signed on to my email the next time. Then a message would come up asking me whether i wanted to send unsent messages. This gave me control over when the messages went out.
Something has changed (computer gremlins at it again) and now the messages go automatically the next time i log on.
I want my outbox set up as it was before, where i am asked whether i want the messages to go, so that i have that control.
I have tried to figure out how to do this using this help resource, and going via Tools, Account Settings etc., but haven't been able to find anything indicating how to set my outbox back to asking my permission to send unsent messages.
Hope someone can help.
Thank you.

check these settings:
Tools > Options > Advanced > Network & Disc Space
click on 'Offline' button
When starting up:
Select: 'always startup online'
Send unsent messages when going online
select: 'Ask me'
Download messages for offline use when going offline?
suggest 'Ask me'
click on 'OK' to save offline settings
click on 'OK' to save changes to Options.
Create an email addressed to yourself and use the Send Later option to put it in the Outbox.
Close and reopen Thunderbird.
You should get the prompt asking to send email.
If you choose yes then the email in the Outbox will be sent.

How do I create a Persona account for my Open Badges Backpack when I never receive the email link to my account?

I enter the email address and password for a new Persona account for my Backpack. All the information is accepted. The screen tells me to access my account through the link sent to my email. The email is never received.
Yes, my email service provider has gone through all their inbound logs and check all spam blocking areas. They have watched the logs for all incoming email messages while I perform the sign up process and see nothing from Mozilla or Persona.
Please recommend next steps. Thank you.

Hi so persona is no longer supported. Please contact the administrator that has implemented persona in the portion of the site you are using it. For example, if you are on the badges page
Here are all the issuers of badges [https://wiki.mozilla.org/Badges/Issuers] and the infrastructure of the [https://wiki.mozilla.org/Badges/Technology authentication process]
If you open up a web console and go thorough the process you can check on the final stage in the error logger if there are any errors on the ui's end. For example, if there is a 302 redirect or 500 server error, this will be the server responsible for the authentication responsible for the issue.
I hope this puts you in the right direction.

What is better for music editing mac mini or macbook air?

Which mac would you prefer for music editing a mac mini with 2,6gHz quad-core i7 CPU, 16 GB RAM and SSD 256GB or a macbook air 13" with 1,7 dual-core i7, 8GB ram and 256GB SSD? Both will be connected to a 27" screen so portability doesn't matter.

The Mac Mini would be better in performance; I tried simple photo editing on my MacBook Air and I was dissapointed.

How can I easily manage different libraries of music between my iPad and my iPhone from the same computer?

My 32 GB iPad stores much more data than my 16 GB iPhone... clearly. But I want to be able to easily sync these two seperate devices with two different sets of music from my iTunes. As it stands now, my iPad will always have the same amount of music as my iPhone because my iPhone is maxed out and the two devices are synced on the same computer from the same library. Do you understand where I'm coming from? Let me know if you need clarification.
I want to be able to have my iPhone filled with individual songs, whereas my iPad would have the full albums. There doesn't seem to be an efficient way to do this with one computer. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks.

It can be done very easily actually. I do it with three different iDevices.
Connect the iDevice to your PC and launch iTunes. Select the iDevice from the left sidebar of the iTunes window. Then click on the Music Tab. Select only the music that you want on that particular iDevice and then sync the device with those selections.
Do the same thing with the other iDevice. When you sync with iTunes the next time, iTunes will remember the music that was synced to that device.
Make sure that you uncheck Sync Entire Music Library and check Sync Selected playlists, albums, etc and then select all of the music for each device.
When you make changes to the current configuartion on the iPad - you will have to click on Apply in the lower right corner of the iTunes window.
