HT5312 How come the option to send an email to reset the questions doesn't come up?
I have forgot my security questions, and I was told there is an option to send a reset link to your second email account. I do have a second email account linked with my apple I.d but the option to send a reset link does not come up. Will loveeee for someone to help thanks x
1. Start here (change country if necessary) and navigate to 'Password and Security', reset your security questions using the link provided, you will receive an email to your rescue address, use the link in the email and reset your security questions.
2. If that doesn't help, you don't receive a reset email or you don't have a rescue address, 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.
3. If you are in a region that doesn't have international telephone support try contacting Apple through iTunes Store Support.

Why i cant find option to send an email to reset your security questions and answers
why i cant find option to send an email to reset your security questions and answers
Because you would have had to setup a rescue email address BEFORE you forgot your answers, too late now. You'll have to contact Apple to fix. Contact numbers here:

The reset link will only show if you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account. If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions) then you won't get the reset option - you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of doing so include going to support.apple.com/kb/HT5699 and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html.
Setting up a rescue email requires correctly answering two of the questions.

i have a new email so have a new apple ID now and am trying to change it in icloud. but it has locked me out and won't send my email a reset password link for some reason. even though it says its sent, it doesnt come to the email address. help!
Welcome to the Apple community.
If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
You will need to show patience with the procedure and be prepared to demonstrate without question that the account belongs to you. Don’t expect access to be restored immediately and if you aren’t the owner of the Apple ID registered to the device the account won’t be reset.

This advice given above to reset security questions is useless, as I don't get the option to send an email to my rescue address (which is verified) to reset my security questions.
Any suggestions fellow mac users?You are sure that you have a rescue email address, and not an alternate email address ? They are different addressess and settings.
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
