HT5312 My recovery email is no longer in use, as it hasn't been used for sometime, and now seems to have 'expired', and I do not even recall being asked the security questions,so I can no longer download certain games. Please help.

I cannot download certain games because I do not recall the answers to my security questions when it asks if I am 17 years or older. In fact, I do not even recall being asked these security questions.
I tried to guess logical answers but now my iPad is threatening to lock me out. My second email is no longer in use as it has not been used for years and has seemingly expired.
Can you please help?

If you don't have access to your rescue email account, or you don't have one on your account (an alternate/secondary email address is a different setting/address), then you will need contact iTunes Support or Apple to get the questions reset (you won't be able to change/add a rescue email address until you can answer 2 of your questions)
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 the steps half-way down the page that you posted from to update/add a rescue email address for potential future use

    Hello Jbamrah,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at:
    Rescue email address and how to reset Apple ID security questions
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5312
    You can edit or delete your rescue email address at My Apple ID. To edit your rescue email address:
    Navigate to My Apple ID 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.
    Note: The option to send an email to reset your security questions and answers will not be available if a rescue email address is not provided. You will need to contact iTunes Store support in order to do so. 
    Best of luck,
    Mario

  • How can I buy a song but always asked the security questions and you don't remember them what should I do

    How can I buy a song but always asked the security questions and you don't remember them what should I do

    Write down your security questions.......
    Here is what you should do if you do not remember the answers to your Apple ID security questions:
    Try answering them at least once to see if you can get them right, even if you are not sure you remember the answers to your security questions.
    If you are confident you can't remember them, try one of the following:
    If you have three security questions and a rescue email addresssign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to send an email to your rescue email address to reset your security questions and answers. 
    If you have one security question and you know your Apple ID passwordsign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to reset your security question.
    If you have one security question, but don't remember your Apple ID passwordcontact Apple Support for assistance. Learn more about creating a temporary support PIN to help Apple confirm your identity when you contact Apple Support.
    Note: If you have forgotten your password and answer your security questions incorrectly too many times in a row, you will be unable to try to answer your security questions for a period of time. During that time you will not be able to reset your password and will not have access to your account.
    Cheers,
              Alec

  • HT5312 Hi i need fast the security questions answear how can i get it ?

    Hi i need fast the security questions answear how can i get it ?

    If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    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 the instructions on this user tip helps you get them reset : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551

    That's because you never registered a rescue email address. The only way to resolve this now is to contact iTunes Support. They are the only ones that can help.

    can someone plz help me i really dont want to buy things accdentilly

    The security questions come up only if there is some doubt about your identity. For example if you try to log in with the wrong password, the security questions are brought up to confirm that you are who you claim to be.
    Security questions will not, and cannot, protect you against accidentally hitting the Buy Now button.
