HT5312 I've tried to send two emails to my 'rescue email' because I forgot the answers to my security questions, but nothing's sending. Help?

So I set up the account maybe seven years ago? I don't remember the answers to the security questions, but I'd really like them sent to me. Why isn't the 'rescue' email sending?

HT5312 What if I forgot the answers to my security questions, but don't know what my rescue email address is? Can I change the rescue email address?

iTunes won't let me download anything until I verify my account, but I cannot do it! I need help URGENTLY.

You can't change your resuce email w/o security questions.
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then see if this user tip helps : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551
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 try Apple ID Account Security
or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57

I don't have a rescue email, and I forgot the answers for my security question. What shall I do?

I searched for an answer everywhere but nothing actually helped me.
I forgot my answers for the security questions.
Whenever I want to download any application I have to answer the security questions which I don't know the answer for.

What to do now?
