HT5312 How to set a rescue email address when I already have an Apple ID and I forgot my security questions

How to set a rescue email address when I already have an Apple ID. Actually I forgot my security questions.

You won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions, you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple 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 the HT5312 page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use

  • HT204053 How do I set up a rescue email address if I already have an Apple ID?

    I have an Apple ID, but I did not set up a rescue email address.  Now I need a rescue email address in order to reset my security questions/answers.  How can I set up the rescue email address?

    You won't be able to add a rescue email address until you can answer your questions, so you will need to get them reset first - see if the instructions on this user tip helps you get them reset : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551
    When you can answer the questions you can then add a rescue email address for potential future use - from here :
    Navigate to appleid.apple.com using your web browser.
    Click "Manage your account"
    When prompted, sign in using your Apple ID and password.
    Click Password & Security
    You'll be asked to answer 2 of your 3 security questions before you can make any modifications. If you are unable to remember your answers, you can choose to send an email to your rescue email to reset your security questions.
    After you've validated your identity by correctly answering your security questions, click Edit to the right of your rescue email address.
    Once you've finished editing your rescue email address, click the Save button directly below the email field.

    As it turns out i don't have any rescue email address and forgot my security questions! so how can I know what was my answers to those questions?! or how can I set a rescue email address when I couldn't go to the "password and security" section?

    You won't be able to add a rescue email address until you can answer your questions, you will have to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset.

  • I forgot the answers to my security questions... and I don't know how to make a rescue email address. pls help!

    how do I make a rescue address? and also how do I reset my security questions?

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed, filling out and submitting this form.
    It isn’t possible to create a rescue email address without supplying two of the answers. They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

  • How do i add a rescue email address to an already existing apple id? The only option it gives me, under the manage my apple id category, is an alternate email. I am trying to make my alternate email address my rescue email address.

    Note that the rescue email address is not on the "Name, ID and Email Address" page -- you need to click on "Password and Security" on the left side. Even after you do that, it may or may not be available. As noted in the following it is only available if you have 3 security questions and are not using 2-step verification: Manage your Apple ID primary, rescue, alternate, and notification email addresses

  • I did not set a rescue email, and now forgot my security question answers

    Ive recently added my girlfriends ipad to my apple id and couldnt remember my security questions. ive ran circles and know how to reset them but to do so i need a "rescue email" which i did not set up when i made the account like 3 years ago. I cant find any info but to "contact support' to set up but ive emailed them twice and no answer. I feel it would be easier to just make a new account but cant because this is the main email i use everyday and dont wanna lose the money in the account

    this does not help. I have forgotten ALL of the answers to my security questions. I can NOT reset the answers to my security questions without answering two of the three security questions. The other way to reset the answers to these questions is for apple to send me an email on my rescue email addres which I DO NOT HAVE.

  • I changed my email address on one of my old APPLE accounts and want to merge my accounts together, how can I change my email address on my old Apple account?

    I changed my email address on one of my old APPLE accounts and want to merge my accounts together so I can get all my songs!!  My computer crashed and I'm tryng to change everything over to my mac via my ipod classic and just Transfer old files.  It's ejecting my disc (ipod) so I figured I could just change my old Apple ID to be one with my new one.
    how can I change my email address on my old Apple account?

    There is no way to merge two Apple IDs as all purchases made with each account are always tied to those accounts.
    All you can do to each account is change the email address for each one but they can't have the same email address.
