HT5312 How can I change my rescue address for my itunes account?

I have managed to forget my answers to the security questions and have changed ISP since I set up my itunes account. I have now locked my account after trying various answers and my only option is to have an email sent to an email account linked to an old ISP that I use to use.
Can anyone please advise what options I have and how I can update the rescue email address so I can get my questions reset?

How can I change my email address on my Itunes account if the old email address has been closed down?

Hi, my brother is struggling to log in to his itunes account. He has been using an old email address but not actually logged into his email account for quite a while. All of a sudden he hasn't been able to sign in to itunes. He has been trying to change over the email address but it looks like the old email address account has been deleted. Any ideas he can go around this to change it over?

Hello amy_c22,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
From what I understand is that your brother no longer has access to the email being used for the Apple ID. He will be able to change his Apple ID if you follow the instructions in the article below:

Changing devices is no reason to create a new Apple ID.
All content purchased from iTunes is permanently linked to the Apple ID it was purchased with.
To update apps purchased with the old ID, you MUST sign in with that Apple ID.

I've been offered an iPad and it comes with my friend's account. How can i change it to have my own iTunes account on it?

First of all have your friend restore the iPad as a new device and wipe it clean for you. Or on the iPad go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings and this will erase everything from the iPad.
You can create your own iTunes account on your computer or on the iPad. Read this.

I have forgotten my security questions for my apple id. i was wondering how can i change the rescue email address and change my security answers?

Reset Security Questions
Frequently asked questions about Apple ID
Manage My Apple ID
Or you can email iTunes Support at iTunes Store Support.
If all else fails:
1. Go to: Apple Express Lane;
2. Under Product Categories choose iTunes;
3. Then choose iTunes Store;
4. Then choose Account Management;
5. Now choose iTunes Store Security and answer the bullet questions, then click
      Continue;
6. Sign in with your Apple ID and press Continue;
7. Under Contact Options fill out the information and advise iTunes that you would
      like your security/challenge questions reset;
8. Click Send/Continue.
You should get a response within 24 hours by email.
In the event you are unsuccessful then contact AppleCare - Contacting Apple for support and service.
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!

HT5312 how can i change my rescue email?

How can iI change my rescue email? My original apple id email is no longer valid and I would like to change my apple id to what is currently my rescue email. I have a secondary email that I can change to my rescue email. However, because I could not designate my primary email as my apple id, my current secondary email is my apple id. Please help.

Sign in to manage apple ID
Go to "Password and security"
---> at this point you may be able to change your rescue email address
---> you may need to answer security questions and THEN be able to
Alt strategy --
This is what I actually did when I needed to change my rescue email. However, it is clear that the above strategies would now work for me.
I needed to change my rescue email b/c I wanted that email to be my primary email/appleID. The rescue email and primary cannot be the same for some reason. When I needed to do it, I forgot the answer to one of my security questions so was forced to click "Send reset security info email to •••••@***.com." This sent an email to my rescue email address -- so if you cannot access your rescue, this alt strategy will not work.
When I clicked the link sent, something went wrong and aple could not bring me to that page. However, when I looked back in the browser tab where I was managing my AppleID, the page/environment for "Password and security" changed. All that was there was something to click that said "Reset .....". This brought me to a page to change all 'password and security' related issues including my rescue email address.
Summary of Alt:
Sign in to manage apple ID
Go to "Password and security"
click "Send reset security info email to •••••@***.com."
--> may have to go to rescue email address and follow instructions there and it may work
--> could be you only have to renew the 'password and settings' page to see new option to click "Reset...."
--------> This latter step was available to me after clicking link in rescue email

How can i change the security question on my itunes account??

How can i change my security question but i dont remember my old questions????

You 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.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.
