How do i reset my security questions when the recovery email address is wrong?

My brother has managed to mess up his Apple ID. We have Apple ID and password but everytime a paid App is trying to download it asks for security questions which he has forgotten the answers to. The recovery email address he has entered is not correct to nay email account we have in the family and I haven't a clue what to do next? There is a £15 voucher on this account which we would like to use.
Any help/advice would be much appreciated
Many thanks

First try:
Can I change the answers to the security questions for my Apple ID?
Yes. You can change the answers to the security questions provided when you originally signed up for your Apple ID. Go to My Apple ID and click Manage your Apple ID. Sign in with your Apple ID name and password, go to the section Password and Security and click Reset your security information.

Rescue email address and how to reset Apple ID security questions
Last contact iTunes by:
https://expresslane.apple.com/Issues.action
Click on "Account Management" and then on "Forgotten Security Questions". That will take you to a page where you can talk to iTunes Support right away, or you can schedule a call to talk to them. They should be able to get you squared away so that you can log on to the old Apple ID.

    how do you reset your security questions when the rescue email address no longer exists?

    Didn't the link to contact the iTunes Store staff in the 'Additional Information' section of that article work for you? If you don't already have a valid rescue email address, only Apple itself can reset the questions.

  • HT5312 The link to reset my Security questions to the recovery email wont pop up...What do I do?

    The link to reset my Security Questions to the recovery email wont pop up...What do I do?

    Hi Gman,
    Sounds like you may not have set up a Rescue email address (which is different than an Alternate one):
    If you set up a Rescue email address:
    Go into Manage Your AppleID, https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/, select Password and Security, and click the first option (see below), and you will be able to proceed from there..... (I HOPE the first button is showing for you!)
    Reset your password
    You can change or reset the password for your Apple ID account by providing some information.
    Select your authentication method.
    Email authentication: To access your information, we will send an email to the rescue email address on file for you.
      Answer security questions: To access your information, you will need to answer the security question(s) provided when you originally created your Apple ID.
    If you did not set up a Rescue email address:
    1. Go to Express Lane  and select 'iTunes' from the list of 'products' in the middle of the screen.
       Then select 'iTunes Store', and on the next screen select 'Account Management'
       Next choose 'Forgotten Security Questions' and fill in that you'd like your security   
       questions/answers reset.
    You should get an email reply within about 24 hours (and check your Spam folder as well as your Inbox)
    2. Once your questions have been reset, and you set up new ones, also set up a RESCUE EMAIL ADDRESS, so if you forget them again, you won't have to go through all of this.....
    Hope this helps!
    Cheers,

    So I made my iTunes account about 5 years ago and now it wants me to reverify it, but I forgot my security questions. This wouldn't be a big problem, however the recovery email address I had set back when I made the account no longer exists. Help!
