HT204266 Security questions are not mine
Why do I do if I don't know the answer to my security questions?
I am having the same problem. I know I have never answered any security questions in the past. They came out of nowhere when I got another Apple device. I called tech support and they were not helpful at all. I can still download paid apps to iTunes on my computer and transfer them, but I cannot download apps directly to my device.
By the way, I think this came about because of the Wired tech writer that was hacked when someone hijacked his apple account, among other things, by simply calling up Apple and having the password reset.
Anyway, if you find a way to resolve the security questions issue, I would love to hear the answer.

Security questions are not mine
aMy daughter is trying to purchase some music on our new Dell laptop. We downloaded iTunes and we have had the account for over a year now. It is asking her to verify 2 security questions. I would have never in 100 years have picked those 2 questions. Where did they come from and what can we do? She can't even get the music she wants. Thanks so much

Security question are not mine so I can't make purchases
How can I chose new security questions for iTunes account.
I can't make purchases.Welcome to the Apple Community.
Start here, and reset your security questions, you will receive an email to your rescue address, then go to manage your account > Password and Security and set your security questions.
If that doesn't help or you don't have a rescue address, you might try contacting Apple through iTunes Store Support -

Another user had success doing the following:
I got some help from an apple assistant on the phone. It is kind of round about way to get in.
Here is what he said to do and it is working for me...
a. on the device that is asking you for the security questions go to "settings", > "store" >
tap the Apple ID and choose view"Apple ID" and sign in.
b. Tap on payment information and add a credit/debit card of your preference then select
"done", in the upper right corner
c. sign out and back into iTunes on the device by going to "settings"> "store" > tap the
Apple ID and choose "sign-out" > Tap "sign -in" > "use existing Apple ID" and you
should be asked to verify your security code for the credit /debit card and NOT the
security questions.
d. At this time you can remove the card by going back in to edit the payment info and
selecting "none" as the card type then saving the changes by selecting "done". You
should now be able to use your iTunes store credit without answering the security
questions.
It's working for me ...I just have to put in my 3 digit security pin from the credit card I am using.
Good Luck friends! -
I need to reset my Apple ID password, but it says that my security questions were not answered correctly. The email address associated with the questions to reset the answers is no longer available to me. It is my old college email. Does anyone know how to change this email? The unavailable email is not in my list of emails approved in my Apple ID settings.
You cannot and 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.

I keep getting locked out of my account because my security answers are incorrect. I apparently do not remember the correct answers. HELP! I cannot make any purchases because of this. I cannot reset my password either because I don't know my answers to the security questions. I also do not have a rescue email...
Click here, phone Apple, and ask for the Account Security team.

You won't be able to change your rescue email address until you can answer your questions, 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 you can then use the steps half-way down this page to update your rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312 -

Using unbranded nVidia drivers with OC-edition MSI cards
Hello, I'm using MSI GeForce 8800GT 512MB OC edition (NX8800GT T2D512E-OC) with branded MSI drivers. Since MSI doesn't exactly release new drivers on daily basis (latest release - 175.16, 7/21) I was considering using unbranded drivers directly from
