  • Would like to change my security questions since i don't know the answers

    i recently added a new gmail address, changed ITunes e-mail to new one, made a new password. have been getting prompts via the old address, but it will not accept the old password associated with that e-mail. can't get in. can't figure out how to explain this to ITunes. i think i have made progress, but when making changes on my account details, saw that the security questions do not instantly call up answers i know.  want to change my security questions. HOW?

    iCloud is insisting i sign in under my old id but i added that id to the new id under the new password:  So irritating that it won't sync them between my macbook and my ipad!

  • I signed into my Apple ID on a new phone and I already had it on my iPod. When I signed into the new phone it won't let me buy anything unless I know my old security questions but I don't know the answers to them. How can I get past those or change them?

    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 should see an option to send security question reset info to your 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 you won't get the reset option - you will need to contact iTunes Support or Apple to get them reset.
    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 'Forgotten Apple ID security questions'
    or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312 . Or, if it's available in your country, you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570

  • I can't buy any apps because I am required to answer two security questions. I don't know the answer to them. Please help.

    I can't buy any apps because I am required to answer two personalized security questions. I don't know the answer to them and I don't even remember creating them. Please help.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Start here (change country if necessary) and navigate to 'Password and Security', reset your security questions using the link provided, you will receive an email to your rescue address, use the link in the email and reset your security questions.
    If that doesn't help, you don't receive a reset email or you don't have a rescue address, 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.

  • HT204266 Itunes store says I have never made purchases from this computer (I have, many times) and is asking security questions that I don't know the answers to.  What next?

    Hi All!  1st time I have had this problem:  Itunes store says I have never made purchases from this computer (I have, many times) and is asking security questions that I don't know the answers to.  What next?  If I keep missing the questions, it is threatening to lock me out of my account.  I am sad.

    Click here for information. If you can't get the answers emailed to you for some reason, contact the iTunes Store staff via the link in that article.

  • I forgot my rescue email and cannot change my password because I need t answer security questions that I don't know the answer to! I need help!

    I can't change my password! I don't know the answers to my security questions and the recuse email I put in years ago may not even exist. I need help!

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, or clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed in either article, filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.
