  • Why am I asked to answer security questions when I haven't set up the answers

    I want to download some apps but get asked some stupid security questions that I didn't set up so don't have the answers for. How do I reset the questions? Or get rid of them?

    If you dont have a rescue email for your account, you'll need to contact the Apple Support to reset them for you.

  • Why do I have to answer security questions before I download an app

    Recently, I've had to fill out a security questionair every time I Download an app, why does this keep coming up? It used to be I could just use my apple ID, why did this change?

    Apple has beefed up security on the App store, either in response to people reporting unauthroized use or in anticipation of unauthorized use. It's simply a step that's been taken to protect your Apple ID and the credit card/gift card balance attached to it.

  • HT5312 Why do we need to answer security questions to buy and download stuff in the first place!? All it does is make everything more complicated, not to mention that it's compleatly unessecery. The password is just fine.

    Title

    They are there for security e.g. if somebody gets access to your iTunes account then they won't be able to buy content from your account on their own computer without being able to answer to your questions.
    You should be only be asked for their answers on the first purchase on a computer or device.

  • TS3297 I cannot purchase music currently as I am being asked to answer security questions due to it being " the first time have bought from this PC". This is not the case, I have not changed my PC. I have changed my passowrd and security questions but no

    I cannot buy music currently as I am being asked to answer security questions due to it being supposedly "the first time I have bought form this PC". This is not the case. I have now changed my password and security questions, but it is asking me the same when I try to buy again.

    First off, the name of your computer is only the way it is becuase the Apple user is the first one they created after repairing the Mac. Go into Sharing System Preferences and change the name to whatever you like.
    Can you explain how you did this:
    This didn't seem right so I went in to it and changed the computer so that it would recognise me as the Owner/Administrator.
    You can delete the Apple user in Users & Groups System Prefs. Select that user and delete it. It will ask if you want to save the user data or delete it. If you archive it, you can always delete it later and it will be available if you need to recover that account for some reason--I doubt this will be necessary. After deleting the account, and when you feel you are still working normally, you could delete that archived user folder.
    I have also never seen anything ask for that. It does sound like an Epson thing, but without having access to it, I couldn't tell you for sure.
    Here's what I would try. Create a new User and give them admin rights. Log in as that user and see what happens with the installer. If it still complains, it is an Epson issue. My guess is it is looking for user id 501, the first user created. If it works, then something is indeed odd about your account. If so, use that new admin account to disable Admin privileges for your account, then re-enable it. This is done in the Users & Groups system prefs.

  • HT1491 when trying to purchase an app I keep getting redirected to answer security questions that I havent answered before so I dont have the answers to them?

    When trying to purchase an app I keep getting redirected to answer security questions that I havent previously been asked so I dont have the answers??

    Click here and search the article for '2 out of 3' without the quotes; this generally involves either a message being sent to your rescue email address or contacting the iTunes Store staff directly.

  • Why do I have to answer security questions

    Why do I have to answer security questions? I made this account like 3 years ago and i dont remember the answers

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

  • HT201363 why am i been asked a security question that i never set up. i dont know the answer to them?

    why am i been ask for security questions that i didnt set up

    You are on the wrong phone support. You need to contact the AST.
    Check the AppleCare number for your country here:

    Call them up, and let them know you would like to be transferred to the Account Security Team.

  • HT1689 me and my husband both have iphones 4 on the same itunes account but he cannot purchase anything cuz it keeps sayin its a new device and he needs to answer security questions.the questions are not what we set up the acct with. help!

    My husband and I both have i phone 4 on the same itune acct but his phone is saying its a new device and will not let him buy anything off of our acct without answering security questions.  these questions are not the ones we set up the acct with. my iphone device is not having this problem. Help!

    I don't know if I'm asking this all in a way that can be understood? Thanks ED3K, however that part I do understand (in the link you provided!)
    What I need to know is "how" I can separate or rather create another Apple ID for my son-who is currently using "my Apple ID?" If there is a way to let him keep "all" his info on his phone (eg-contacts, music, app's, etc.) without doing a "reset?') Somehow I need to go into his phone's setting-create a new Apple ID and possibly a new password so he can still use our combined iCloud & Itunes account?
    Also then letting me take back my Apple ID & password, but again allowing us (my son and I) to use the same iCloud & Itunes account? Does that make more sense??? I'm sincerely trying to get this cleared up once and for all----just need guidance from someone who has a true understanding of the whole Apple iCloud/Itunes system!
    Thanks again for "anyone" that can help me!!!

  • Why am i having this problem on icloud "the maximum number of free account have been activated on this ipad"

    Why am i having this problem on icloud "the maximum number of free account have been activated on this ipad"

    Judging from other posts it looks like there is a maximum of 3 accounts that can be created on a device - you could either re-use one of the accounts that you've already created or create a new one on a different device or computer

  • HT5312 Why can i not reset my security questions via e-mail?

    Why can't i reset my security questions via e-mail? There is a page on how to do it but you can't actually fill the form out.

    if you are referring to the HT5312 page that you posted from then that only contains instructions for what to do, it's not a form.
    To reset your questions yourself you need to already have a a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account - you can see if you do by following the steps on that HT5312 page i.e. 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 (if you have a rescue email address) you will 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 your questions) then you won't get the reset link on that page - you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple in your country to get the questions reset.
    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 this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
