HT5312 How do u reset my security questions I forgot them
How do u reset my security because I forgot them and all I can do is buy them off the computer and not my iPod touch
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
-If you established a rescue email address, there will be a link on the "Passwords & Security" page of id.apple.com. Clicking the link will send the reset to your rescue email address (NOTE: This is not the same address as your Apple ID email)
-If there is no link on the page, then you didn't establish a rescue email address. Contact AppleCare at 800.694.7466 (If you are in the US), and ask for account security. You will need to answer some questions to verify your identity, AND you will need access to a computer to generate a temporary support pin.

How do i reset my security questions i forgot the answers to them?
How do i reset my security questions i forgot the answers to them?
Ok, same here, purchases cant be made, becouse as an addition to the password, apple wants your answer to security questions now... The problem with that questions is, the answers were never needed and now long forgotten!
A quicklink from Neil DOESNT solve nothing. As I first sign in to Apple, got My Apple ID, no RESCUE EMAIL was needed. With no such email I have NO CHANCE to reset this security questions.
If I reset my password, there in NO OPTION to reset this security questions as well.
So, I am strandend with some 30 bucks on my Apple acount and for now no way to spend it, thats OK, but some Apps want authentication for even updating, so I am stuck with no updates either... I purchased for about 500 bucks in last years from Apple, maybe thats it for me...
(Apple ***** more and more, maybe ut ist time to move to Android; a personal opinion).
A SOLUTION? Is there a way reseting your security questions with ONLY your Apple ID, the password for it nad a primary and alternate email; without a rescue email setup and no way to set it up???
Thx for your support, for long time I know now there is no help to be expected from Apple Service... -
I am administrator for Mac. My husband and i both have separate iPhones with separate contacts. Since i0S 6.1 update these contacts are now shared which we do not want. I have set up separate iCloud email and account for my husband. How do i ensure that i
You can continue to use the current AppleID for iTunes, but your husband can create a new AppleID to use to create a new iCloud account that will be his own and not overlap with yours. If you do not have another email address to use for an AppleID, just get a free Gmail account and use that.
You can have as many AppleIDs as you want (or at least, as many as you have email addresses for). You can use a separate AppleID for the store, another for iCloud, and even another for iMessage if you wish.
You will want to keep the current one as the shared one for the store as all your previous purchases are permanently tied to it, and thus you need that AppleID to update or redownload your current purchased content. -

Email address hacked via iphone. iphone locked home screen displaying my email password! and has been reset. now unable to restore iphone, saying i do not have permission
If you don't know your password, don't know your security questions and don't have a rescue address or don't receive a reset email, 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. -

How to uncheck encypt iphone backup if i forgot password ?
I want to delete my backup password ( uncheck encrypt iphone backup ) but i forgot the password so i delete my backup and uninstall itunes to solve this problem but when i reinstall the itunes and connect my iphone to itunes its still want the password to uncheck the encrypt iphone backup ! how can get my password or how to uncheck encrypt iphone back up ??
please help meYou are being a rediculous rationalizer.
If you can't change anything or help at all, why respond just to rationalize and twist what I'm asking?
And to assume I read the article before this happened was silly.
I am saying clearly, this is buggy behaviour that should be changed.
Every other thing when you encrypt a backup, you are encrypting the backup, not disabling your ability to every make an unencrypted backup again if you forget those backup passwords.
I know you have no means to change it and absolutely nothing helpful to add I don't already know whch I indicated had you bothered to read instead of jumping in with the rationalizations and repeating what i already said. You are just talking to yourself with rediculous remarks like "blame yourself" for not taking some article seriuosly I had not read and should not have had to, because it's a silly buggy quirk in the design I hope apple will address.
You must not work much with encrypted backups with other companies to not understand, usually, when you're encyrpting a backup, you're encrypting that file, not preventing yourself from ever making an unencrypted backup again if you lose the password. Backups and the phone are two different things. Please do not respond with unhelpful ignorance again. You have no clue what you are talking about in terms of security implications. Turning backups off would not let you "take apart an encrypted backup" if it's encrypted properly. The encryption is in the backup file itself, which would have no affect on creating unencrypted backups after deleting the old encrypted ones. I tried to be graceful but you really have no clue of the security implications and you are being very silly saying I should have taken an article seriously I hadn't read until I ran into this quirky behavior. You have no idea what choice is. Wow. You know, it's possible for someone to want to change a password they forgot on backups without having to wipe out their whole phone config, messages, etc. This in no way jepordizes the security of backups made with the old password. You are being clueless on this. Please do not respond if all you have to add is rationalizations of how any other way would be insecure when you don't know what you're talking about. You're snide remark that someone "does't know security" if they want to turn off encrypted phone backups or change the password on future backups, if they forgot it displays a huge amount of ignorance not worth trying to correct. Apple's great. Doesn't mean they don't make mistakes. -
