How to set a rescue email?

Ok, so I need to reset my security questions because when I redeemed my itunes gift cards, It suddenly pops up with 'You need to enter your security questions' and I'm about three seconds away from table flipping because this the most stupidest system I have EVER seen, even though I have a VERIFIED alternate email address I am not still able to send a request to that one. Basically I need a quick way of resetting me security questions without phoning support, because I'm not buying another 50$ gift card for a new account, and I will certainly quit using iTunes just for the fact that this is overly complicated and unnecessary.

Alternate email addresses are not the same as rescue email addresses, they are different settings/addresses on your account - you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your security questions. If you don't already have a rescue email address on your account then see if the instructions on this user tip helps : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551

  • HT5312 How to set a rescue email address when I already have an Apple ID and I forgot my security questions

    How to set a rescue email address when I already have an Apple ID. Actually I forgot my security questions.

    You won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions, you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.

    can somone just tell me how to do the rescue email I read the thing that itunes sent to my but does not tell you how to to set a rescue email can anyone help!

    Go back to the article you asked this question from and use the link to contact the iTunes Store staff in the 'Additional Information' section. If you don't already have a valid rescue email address, you can't reset the questions yourself, and nobody on these boards can reset them for you.
    Setting up a rescue email address requires correctly answering two of the questions.

  • HT5312 how to send the rescue email

    i cant figure out how to send the rescue email.

    If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address - if it doesn't show then you don't have a rescue email address.
    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then see if this user tip helps : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551
    e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then try Apple ID Account Security
    or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.
