HT5312 Even after calling apple and providing the answers to the security questions they are unable to fix problem.
It's mindboggling that one must have two email accounts (original and rescue) just in case we don't have a record of the passwords or we use the right ones and Apple program is having a problem.
Our son set up his account and answered a simple security question of "Where did your parents meet?" It isn't a multiple answer question and Apple will no longer accept the correct answer. He had the answer to the other two questions and again, the Apple program has erred and has now locked him out.
A call to Apple was completely unsuccessful with correcting the situation.
We, 1) know the answers to the questions, 2) we have all the proof of purchases that for some reason Apple cannot link to our account which to me is just unbelievable, and 3) the original email used for the whole itune set up has never changed, is still valid and again not proof of who we are. This all leads me to believe that they can fix the problem but that they choose not too.
We can log into the account but can't get past the security questions even with the correct answers.
How can their purchase orders not be linked to the funds (and associated email) they are accessing to pay for the purchase?
Why is it that matching the payment account to the email is not a valid proof of who we are?
None of this makes any sense at all.
We are fellow users here on these forums.
Who did you call ? If you don't have a rescue email address on your account then you should be able to get them reset by contacting iTunes Support / Apple in your country : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699

HT201303 what do i do when i forget the answers to my security questions?
i forgot the answers to my security questions! how do i fix this?
If you have a rescue email address set up on your account then you can try going 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 set up 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 Questions' or 'iTunes Store account security' (it appears to vary by country) 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).
Or you could see if the second half of Kappy's reply in this thread helps : https://discussions.apple.com/message/20357006#20357006 -
I have forgotten the answers to my security questions. (who was your favorite childhood friend, who was your least favorite teacher etc.) As a result, every time i try to purchase something like an app or song on my phone, I can't. It always asks me for the answers. Apple support has no solutions, what do i do?

Just wait for Apple/iTunes to reply -
I didn't make a rescue e-mail and now i forgot the answers of my security questions!!' And the apple support contact wont open???
I'm not sure what you mean by the 'apple support contact wont open' (?). If you mean the 'contact iTunes Store support' link on the page that you posted from I've just tried it and it seems to wok ok for me, though I haven't gone as far as to actually contact them.
You can contact either 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 on the page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use, or if it's available in your country you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570 -
I forgot the answers to my security questions and the e-mail where the replies are being answered is no longer valid or active, how can I get the answers to be sent to my current active e-mail? Thank you
You need to contact Apple, either through the link in that article or by phoning them and asking for the Account Security team.

I'm trying to download apps on my new iphone 5s, and I forgot the answers to my security questions. The reset e-mail was never sent. How do I notify apple that they never sent me the reset e-mail? Thank you.
Hello there, movies989.
The following Knowledge Base article provides some great steps for issues with Apple ID security questions and contacting Apple Support:
Apple ID: All about Apple ID security questions
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5665
Of particular use in your case:
What should I do if I don't remember the answers to my Apple ID security questions?
Try answering them at least once to see if you can get them right, even if you are not sure you remember the answers to your security questions.
If you are confident you can't remember them, try one of the following:
If you have three security questions and a rescue email address
sign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to send an email to your rescue email address to reset your security questions and answers.
If you have one security question and you know your Apple ID passwordsign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to reset your security question.
If you have one security question, but don't remember your Apple ID password
contact Apple Support for assistance. Learn more about creating a temporary support PIN to help Apple confirm your identity when you contact Apple Support.
Note: If you have forgotten your password and answer your security questions incorrectly too many times in a row, you will be unable to try to answer your security questions for a period of time. During that time you will not be able to reset your password and will not have access to your account.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

I no longer have access to the back up email address I used when I set up my apple ID. I have since forgotten the answers to my security questions and am having a problem making changes to my account. What can I do?
You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

Mosab azdeinHi Mva,
If you set up a Rescue email address:
Go into Manage Your AppleID, https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/, select Password and Security, and click the first option (see below), and you will be able to proceed from there..... (I HOPE the first button is showing for you!)
Reset your password
You can change or reset the password for your Apple ID account by providing some information.
Select your authentication method.
Email authentication: To access your information, we will send an email to the rescue email address on file for you.
Answer security questions: To access your information, you will need to answer the security question(s) provided when you originally created your Apple ID.
If you did not set up a Rescue email address:
1. 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 'Apple ID 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)
2. Once your questions have been reset, and you set up new ones, also set up a RESCUE EMAIL ADDRESS, so if you forget them again, you won't have to go through all of this.....
Hope this helps!
Cheers,
