HT5312 It will not let me change my security passwords? What do I do?

My ipad will not let me change my security passwords and question and I don't know what to do

What do you mean 'my iPad will not let me change my security passwords' ? You are following the instructions on the HT5312 page that you postedi.e. if you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) on your account then steps 1 to 5 half-way down that page should give you a reset link.
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 will need to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset (these are user-to-user forums).
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) 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

  • HT1918 will not let me change my security questions

    I just put my itunes on my laptop and it will not let me change my security questions. When I try to change the questions, it says save and change, but it does not save my changes. Please help, because now I am locked out of purchasing anything from itunes. Thanks.

    Click here for information. If you can't reset them through the method described in that article or by sending yourself a rescue email(the email may take a few hours to arrive), contact the iTunes Store staff via the link in the 'Additional Information' section.
    It isn't possible to create a rescue email address without correctly answering two of the questions. Nobody on these boards can reset them for you.

  • Email will not let me change fonts all of a sudden.

    Email will not let me change fonts all of a sudden.  It says I don't have the neccesay permissions in ~/library/preferences.  this has just happened recently.

    Who is your email provider?
    You can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears. Try again to see if the problem persists.
    If yes, try deleting the mail account and adding it again.

    You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
    Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, the App Store may prompt you to update "Angry Birds" or "Twitter," but the hacked app may be something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you must carry out a systematic search with Spotlight.
    1. Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    2. In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
    File ▹ Find
    from the menu bar. In the search window, select
    Search: This Mac
    from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu of search criteria, initially showing Kind. From that menu, select
    Other...
    A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select
    Raw Query
    as the criterion, then click OK or press return.
    Now there will be a text box to the right of the menu of search criteria. That's where you enter the raw search query. Click in that box and paste the text you copied earlier by pressing command-V.
    4. The search window will now show all the App Store products that are installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
    At least one of the apps in the Spotlight search results is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash, after quitting it if it's running. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch the App Store. Test.
    If you find these instructions confusing, ask for an alternative method.

  • My iPad, Macbook and Apple TV are all set up with the same iCloud email address.  I bought the iPhone 6 and accidentally set the iCloud up with a different email.  My phone will not let me change the email address to be the same as my other devices,

    My iPad, Macbook and Apple TV are all set up with the same iCloud email address.  I bought the iPhone 6 and accidentally set the iCloud up with a different email.  My phone will not let me change the email address to be the same as my other devices, it tells me that email is already being used. How do I delete the iPhones iCloud account and reinstall it to match my other devices.

    Yes it will, just sign out, then sign back in with the correct address.

  • My dvd player will not let me change regions, it just quits when i do, now its stuck on region 1. Any thoughts how i can solve this problem or get round it in some way?

    My dvd player will not let me change regions, it says i have one more chance to change it, then it just quits when i do, now its stuck on region 1. Any thoughts how i can solve this problem or get round it in some way?

    Usually if you have some kind of hardware failure there is some beeping during POST or most motherboards now have LED indicators to produce and error message based on the type of failure
    So if its bad memory, not place properly, mismatched, processor not inserted properly, mismatched voltage or voltage connector not present etc it beeps or generates the error id.
    Power supplies can be tested for failure. There are some walk throughs for testing just them with a switch, paperclip or a jumper (I'd suggest not doing this if you are not familiar with the dangers of electricity).
    Memory can be tested with memory diagnostics programs like Memtest+
    Processors can overheat if the proper precautions have not been taken usually you will get a POST beep or error code for that.
    If the motherboard has no response then do the basics first:
    Check power connectors and power supply. Once you determine that is not the case move on to other items like graphics cards in all the way or memory.

  • I used to have a apple id but when i got my macbook i changed it. Then i downloaded OS X and updates in my app store will not let me change my apple id back to my new one it just still uses my old one. What do i do?

    I used to have a apple id but when i got my macbook i changed it. Then i downloaded OS X and updates in my app store will not let me change my apple id back to my new one it just still uses my old one. What do i do?

    Content and Apple IDs -
    Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple Id to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with another Apple ID with a new ID.

  • Photoshop elements 12 will not allow me to resize an art as it will not let me change the values in value boxes

    photoshop elements 12 will not let me change the size values in pixels or ht and widlth, or resolution. How can I fix this?  I have used this many times in the past and it has worked fine, but not today.

    That did not change anything. But think I may have discovered part of the
    problem. I found that if I use the numbers on the top of my keyboard,
    rather than the side, it will change the numbers. So may actually be an
    issue with a defective keyboard. will try to address that. thank you for
    your help. The problem seemed to be patched for the moment

  • Ipod Shuffle will not let me change settings:

    My iPod will not let me change the setting. Everytime I try to do so I get an error message saying: The iPod cannot be synced. The required disk cannot be found. not sure why it says this and any help would be nice. Thanks

    first the biggest one: the ipod will not let me chnage it's settings (it syncs, but when you go to the device panel all the options are grey and I can't change them)- what to do?
    You change the settings on the iPod via the summary screen which automatically opens when you connect the iPod. I do not know what the "device panel" is.
    2-for some reason i can not see the radio option in my ipod's main menu even though I have put it there several times, and am still unable to play any radio.
    The radio option is only selectable when you have connected the radio/remote accessory (which is purchased separately). There is no built in radio on the iPod.
    3- my ipod has been having a bit of a delay issue lately, just a few seconds i which it is stuck
    Have you updated the iPod to the latest firmware?
    4-i am inly able to put soem of my video podcasts on my ipod why is that?
    Don't know. Where are these video podcasts from? Not everything you get from the internet is iPod compatible.
