If all else fails:

  5. Now choose iTunes Store Security and answer the bullet questions, then click

  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 My original apple id email is no longer valid and I would like to change my apple id to what is currently my rescue email.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

  • HT5312 HOW CAN I RESET MY RESCUE EMAIL ADDRESS??

    HOW CAN I RESET MY RESCUE EMAIL ADDRESS??

    If you know the answers to your security questions then the steps half-way down the page that you posted from should let you reset edit it.
    If you can't remember your answers then you won't be able to edit your rescue email address, and 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 those steps on the page that you posted from to edit/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

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You need to answer your security questions to add a rescue address, if you don't know these.
    If you don't know these you should contact AppleCare who will initially try to assist you with a reset email or if unsuccessful will pass you to the security team to reset your security questions for you.
    If you are in a region that doesn't have international telephone support try contacting Apple through iTunes Store Support.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Once you have created a rescue address, you cannot delete it, nor can you change it to the same address as used by your ID. There are numerous providers you can get additional email addresses from, such as Hotmail, Yahoo, Google etc etc.
