HT1420 I forgot the answers to my security questions to authorize my computer.  How do i reset my security questions?

Having a hard time trying to buy some songs for my daughter.  I have a new computer and it is not authorized to purchase items from itunes.  When i try to buy something it askes for 2 security questions that i have forgoten.  How do i change the security questions?  I've left a number with the support team and nobody has called me back.  I thought posting on here might be a faster solution to my problem.

If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then the steps half-way down this page give you a reset link on your account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
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 only iTunes Support / Apple can reset the questions.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
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 the HT5312 link above to add a rescue email address for potential future use

    I'm not sure what you mean by the 'apple support contact wont open' (?). If you mean the 'contact iTunes Store support' link on the page that you posted from I've just tried it and it seems to wok ok for me, though I haven't gone as far as to actually contact them.
    You can contact either iTunes Support or Apple to get the questions 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 you can then use the steps on the page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use, or if it's available in your country you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570

  • I forgot the answers to my security questions unable to...

    Hi,
    I forgot the answers to my security questions and exceeded maximum attempts. If I click for assistance only two offered options are phone calls but as I come from Bosnia this is not possible. Is there any other way to reach support (email......)??

    As far as I am aware there isn't an iTunes store in Bosnia, so presumably you have a different country listed on your iTunes account (?). If you do (you have to be in a country to use its store) then when will be back in that country - when you are you should be able to contact Support in that country to get them reset.

    Hello there, Faisal-almutairi.
    The following Knowledge Base article has the information you need for what to do in your situation:
    Apple ID: All about Apple ID security questions
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5665
    Specifically:
    What should I do if I don't remember the answers to my Apple ID security questions?
    Try answering them at least once to see if you can get them right, even if you are not sure you remember the answers to your security questions.
    If you are confident 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 passwordsign 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 have forgotten 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 D.
