HT201363 how do i add a backup email because i forgot my security questions

i tried reseting my security questions and i dont have a backup email to send them to.

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.
Creating a rescue email address requires supplying two of the answers. They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

  • HT5312 How can I add a rescue email? I forget my security questions and need to add another email to reset them. I did not add a rescue email  when I originally signed up.

    I do not recall ever answering the security questions therefore I do not know them and iTunes will not let me purchase music through my iPhone. How do I reset the security questions? I do not have a rescue email set up to do so. How can I add that?

    You can't now and need to contact Apple. Click here, phone them, and ask for the Account Security team, or fill out and submit this form.
    The time to create a rescue email address is when you set up the security questions, not after forgetting their answers.

  • HT1918 Hello, I have a account but I can't buy anything because I forgot my security questions and my rescue email.

    Hello, I have a account but I can't buy anything because I forgot my security questions and my rescue email.

    If you can't remember your rescue email address (and seeing the reset link via steps 1 to 5 on this page doesn't help you remember it) then you will need to contact 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 half-way down this page to view (or change/add) your rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312 . Or you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570

  • HT5699 I don't have access to my rescue email and I forgot my security questions. I'm in Egypt now, apple support over the phone is not available here.

    I've lost my rescue email and I forgot my security questions. I am located in Egypt now so there's no phone technical support here. I cannot activate the imessage or facetime and cannot download anything from the appstore. I need to reset my appleid password.

    If you can't remember the answers to the security questions, then go to Express Lane  and select 'iTunes' from the list of 'products' in the middle of the screen.
    Then select 'iTunes Store', and on the next screen select 'Account Management'
    Next choose 'iTunes Store Account Security' and fill in that you'd like your security questions/answers reset.
    You should get an email reply within about 24 hours (and check your Spam folder as well as your Inbox).
    More info, like the rescue email address

  • HT201363 How do you contact Apple to get them to change your security question rescue email from one that is clearly not yours?

    I have been trying to reset the email used in the Apple security info section of this site to an email address that is mine.  The one that is on file here is clearly not mine, but I have no way of changing it, because all information is being sent to the wrong email address.  Is there any way to fix this?

  • How can I change my rescue email address to retrieve my security question answers?

    Help me! I try to download songs from my phone and a message keeps popping up saying since this is my first time downloading from this device I need to verify my identity by answering my security questions. It's not the first time I've downloaded music from my phone and I can't send my questions to my rescue email because I dont remember whose email address it is. How do I change it?

  • How can I edit my recovery email cause I forgot my security answers

    Here is the thing: when I registered my Apple ID accidentally I confused my email address I wrote down the nick of one account and after the "@" I wrote the wrong email services provider. So I don't even know if that email address exists because is a frankenstein mail. Besides I forgot my security answers.
    Some weeks ago I've been blackmailed in order to erase one Ipad I use to have until was stolen from my car in August 2014. I locked that device and  right now these people is threatening me with take over all my emails and social networks unless I liberate (by erasing it from my devices) that Ipad.
    I want to establish two steps verification for my AppleID but its either impossible without the security answers or the email recovery access.
    I am right now in Venezuela and in this country Apple customer services are not available by phone or online assistance.
    Anybody can help me please?
    Thanks

  • I don't have a rescue email and I forgot my security question + answers.

    I recently just bought a mac and I tried to download pages for school but it required me to put in my answers to the security questions to which I don't remember. I clicked "Forgot your answers" and I didn't get anything in my email. It turns out that I don't have a "rescue" email and I don't know what to do. I have a $100 on the account and I can't even use it.

    The Three Best Alternatives for Security Questions and Rescue Mail
         1.  Send Apple an email request at: Apple - Support - iTunes Store - Contact Us.
         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 did not set a rescue email, and now forgot my security question answers

    Ive recently added my girlfriends ipad to my apple id and couldnt remember my security questions. ive ran circles and know how to reset them but to do so i need a "rescue email" which i did not set up when i made the account like 3 years ago. I cant find any info but to "contact support' to set up but ive emailed them twice and no answer. I feel it would be easier to just make a new account but cant because this is the main email i use everyday and dont wanna lose the money in the account

    this does not help. I have forgotten ALL of the answers to my security questions. I can NOT reset the answers to my security questions without answering two of the three security questions. The other way to reset the answers to these questions is for apple to send me an email on my rescue email addres which I DO NOT HAVE.
