I cannot remember the answers to my security questions and I do not see the option to send it to my rescue email, although I know I have one. What do I do? I cannot use my account for iTunes until I answer the questions and I recently got $50 of iTunes from my parents. HELP!!
Are you sure that it's a rescue email address (it's not the same thing as an alternate email address) ? If you do then you should be able to 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 might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email address then see if the instructions on this user tip helps : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551 -

I have 3 security questions and don't remember them. I know at least one for sure but there's always another one with it which I don't know the answer to. I don't think I set up a rescue email when I made the account, so what do I do?

I forgot the answers to my security questions, so I logged into my account and had a help email sent to my email address. The email did not come to my email address. How do I retrieve the answers to my security questions?
Call AppleCare and ask to be transferred to the Account Security Team.

It kept asking me to answer security question and I don't know the answer because my account is super old. I don't know my rescue email either. My sister said if I just kept answering the questions wrong it would stop but instead I got locked out. Please help I have money on my account.
You need to contact Apple, either through the link in that article or by phoning them and asking for the Account Security team.

I have forgotten both the answers to the security questions on my AppleID, and the rescue email I set up was incorrect on one letter, therefore the email is sent to the wrong account - what can I do to fix this?

I forgot my answers to my security questions and I have not received the email to reset my answers
I check my email and yet no email has been sent and I know I'm using the same email as my Apple ID.
The reset email will be sent to your rescue email account, that won't (can't) be the same as the primary email address (or any other address) on your account.
If you aren't receiving it to your rescue email aaccount (or you don't know what it is), then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down this page to view and/or change your rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312 -

<Email Edited By Host>If you changed your Apple ID from the old email address (that is showing up) to a new one, but just forgot to update it on your iPhone, try these steps.
1. Use your current Apple ID password
Trying using your current Apple ID password. If that doesn't work, continue to the next step.
2. Sign out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime
If you are currently signed in to iMessage or FaceTime
Sign out of iMessage or FaceTime:
iMessage: Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive, tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
FaceTime: Go to Settings > FaceTime, tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
Sign back in to iMessage or FaceTime:
iMessage: Go to Settings > Messages, then tap "Use your Apple ID for iMessage".
FaceTime: Go to Settings > FaceTime, then tap "Use your Apple ID for FaceTime".
You should now be able to sign out of iCloud. You will still see your previous Apple ID when signing out.
If you are not signed in to iMessage or FaceTime
Sign in to iMessage or FaceTime:
iMessage: Go to Settings > Messages, then tap "Use your Apple ID for iMessage".
FaceTime: Go to Settings > FaceTime, then tap "Use your Apple ID for FaceTime".
You should now be able to sign out of iCloud. You will still see your previous Apple ID when signing out.
3. Change your Apple ID temporarily
If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't work, try these steps:
Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
Tap Settings > iCloud and try to sign out.
Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
Tap Settings > iCloud and sign in with the new Apple ID. -
