How do I reset my rescue email address since i have forgotten both the email password and security questions?

Hello,
I have suddenly decided to purchase some music off iTunes Today (Oct 21 - 19:45 CET) and I have forgotten my security questions. I therfeore had to try and reset them using my rescue email address. I clicked "Send reset security info to ..." on the apple.id.com page. I went over to hotmail and i couldn't remeber my password so tried the security questions which I also couldn't remeber. What I am trying to ask is, Is there anyway that I can change/reset my security email under the "Passwords and Security" sections of appleid.apple.com and under the question tabs?
If so could you please tell me.
Thank you for helping me.

No, you won't be able to change it until you can answer 2 of your questions - you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down this page to update your rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312

HT1212 How can i reset my iphone 4s if i forgot my restriction passcode and apple id password and security question answer

Hello guys..
How can i reset my iphone 4s IF i forgot my restriction passcode, and apple id password AND security question answer?..
AND I also forgot the email that i used to create the apple id.. Thats why i cant reset my password using the "email authentication"...
PLEASE HELP.. Thanks... I cant use my iphone properly.. im stock with my OLD Apple id..

Its simple - if you honestly cannot remember a single piece of security information associated with the account, or even the name of the AppleID itself, the only possability of help is to call Apple and ask them if there is anything they can do. There is nothing anyone here or elsewhere can possible do to help you.
Apple offers several means of ensuring you can recover an account or AppleID, but if you cannot remember a single one of those security features, then only Apple can, if at all possible, help you and only then if you pick up a telephone and talk to them.
The strong odds are that even Apple will not help you. I know that with the two step verification option, if you cannot at least remember two of the three security features used with that system, they will tell you the account is simply lost to your for good. They can only be help responsible for helping you recover information up to a point - at some point, it all comes down to you remebering at least some of your own information.

Hello there, Hisham1977.
The following Knowledge Base article provides the steps to follow if you've forgotten the answer to your security questions:
Apple ID: All about Apple ID security questions
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5665
What should I do if I don't remember the answers to my Apple ID security questions?
If you forgot the answers to your security questions, try answering them at least once to see if you can get them right, even if you're not sure you remember the answers. If you're confident that you can't remember them, try one of the following:
If you have three security questions and a rescue email address, sign in to My Apple ID and select the “Password and Security” tab to send an email to your rescue email address to reset your security questions and answers.
If you have one security question and you know your Apple ID password, sign in to My Apple ID and select the “Password and Security” tab to reset your security question.
If you have one security question, but don't remember your Apple ID password, contact Apple Support for assistance. Learn more about creating a temporary support PIN to help Apple confirm your identity when you contact Apple Support.
Note: If you forgot your password and answer your security questions incorrectly too many times in a row, you will be unable to try to answer your security questions for a period of time. During that time, you will not be able to reset your password and will not have access to your account.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro

I forgot my Apple ID password and security questions, plus I don't receive the "I forgot" email

I forgot my Apple ID password. I don't remember my security question answers. I have apps on my iphone that I can't update because of this. So I created a new Apple ID and downloaded some apps. (So I have apps on my iphone from two different Apple IDs).
What I've tried:
I never receive the "I forgot" email - tried it multiple times. I have checked spam folders, recently deleted - checked it all, not there.
I can't delete apps from the old Apple ID and download them with the new because it will delete information from the app, such as game highscores.
I have money on the old Apple ID and would like to be able to use it. If someone can please give me a solution or a support number that can help my situation. It would be greatly appreciated. - I have called support once but no luck.

Could someone please explain to me how to set-up my Apple ID so that both my password AND security questions have to be answered before access is granted? Is this possible? I am not very computer smart, so could you explain step-by-step!Very Appreciated!

The security questions will only be asked on the first purchase on a computer or device (though people have occasionally posted that they've asked for them when it isn't the first time) - I'm not aware of any way to change that. You can force the password to be required on your iPad via Settings > General > Restrictions > Require Password set to 'Immediately' (the default is a 15 minute period during which it doesn't need re-entering)
