HT201209 I was asked to answer Verification required, to answer my security question but i forgot my answer! so how to solve my problem
Where can i reterived my security answer?
This typically happens when you make a purchase from a new or different device.
Your answers are stored securely and cannot be retrieved, but you can try to have them reset.
Method 1 (preferred)
On a computer, go to http://appleid.apple.com and select "Manage your account". Log in with your Apple ID and password, then select Password and Security from the left column.
You need to know the answers to your existing security questions before you can change them or create new questions.
If you do not remember your answers, there may be a link on that page where you can have a reset email send to your "Rescue email address", as long as you provided one in the past. This option will not appear if you have not provided a Rescue email address.
Check all your known email addresses for their response, which will contain further instructions to follow. The email is automated and should arrive immediately. Check your spam / junk folder if you believe you did not receive it.
Method 2 (you cannot perform the above and you're stuck)
If there does not seem to be any way to reset your security questions, go here:
https://expresslane.apple.com/
Navigate the columns as follows:
All Products and Services > iTunes > iTunes Store > Account Management > iTunes Store account security
Answer the questions, and if required sign in with your Apple ID and password - same one you used to log in on this support forum.
You will find an option to send an email to Apple on that page. Compose an email explaining your dilemma, and politely ask to have your security questions reset.
You should receive a confirmation email immediately. It will be an automated reply, just acknowledging your request for help. Check your email spam / junk folder for it, because a humanoid should respond in a business day or two.
There are over 400 million iTunes account holders and Apple receives a great many of these questions every day, so be patient.
You may need to provide more information before your questions can be reset. These back-and-forth emails may result in a week of correspondence before it is fixed.

The Three Best Alternatives for Security Questions and Rescue Mail
1. Use Apple's Express Lane.
Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; click 'See all products and services' at the
bottom of the page. In the next page click 'More Products and Services, then
'Apple ID'. In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Forgotten Apple
ID security questions' and click 'Continue'. Please be patient waiting for the return
phone call. It will come in time depending on how heavily the servers are being hit.
2. Call Apple Support in your country: Customer Service: Contact Apple support.
3. Rescue email address and how to reset Apple ID security questions.
A substitute for using the security questions is to use 2-step verification:

I need help reseting my security questions because i forgot them.
Go to appleid.apple.com and log in with your Apple ID and password. (If you have forgotten your Apple ID password, go to iforgot.apple.com first to reset your password with a password recovery email)
Go to the Password & Security section, and click on the link underneath the security questions that says 'Forgot your answers? Send reset security info email to [email]'.
This will generate an automated e-mail that will allow you to reset your security questions.
If you didn't set up a rescue email, you'll have to contact Apple Account Security. -
I tried to change my rescue address, since it is outdated, and was not receiving any of the emails from Apple to this faulty address regarding resetting my security questions.
I cannot proceed in regaining full use of my account to make purchases if I do not reset my security questions, and I cannot reset them without receiving such an email, and I have no idea how to change my rescue email. The Apple ID support section of this site was unfortunately unhelpful and led me in circles.
Please help me to change my rescue email address!
If it helps, a few months ago I changed my primary account email, and my old primary address is my faulty rescue address now. It is no longer on my list of addresses but continues to show up as my rescue address.
An additional portion of my question: Is it possible, if I terminate one Apple ID, to move purchases made on that ID, to a new ID? I'm not sure if it's a violation of the terms and conditions if DO NOT keep the purchases on two accounts simultaneously.Alternatives for Help Resetting Security Questions and/or Rescue Mail

Downloading apps it asks for apple ID Pass then it says "verification required". Then says Security Code required. Doesn't accept code. itunes doesn't accept code from visa card either?Please Help
If it is trying to verify your payment info, I would be willing to guess that it is looking for the security code for your credit card. Did you credit card just get replaced lately or the expiration date change? When is the last time that you updated your payment information in iTunes?

I don't remember the answer to the security question, but after i have asked apple to send the verification mail; there is still no email from Apple. What should I do?
You've checked the spam folder on your rescue email account and tried clicking the reset link again to re-request it ? You could also contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
