HT5312 The security questions apparently aren't working to my favor. I give the answers I know and I guess my life is wrong? I've been looking and looking for a place to fix it but I get nothing. Help me please.

I need to figure out how to unlock my locked account. I just got a new iPod touch 5th generation and since it's my first purchase I have to answer security questions. When I answer I am wrong I guess and it doesn't show me a straight forward way on how to fix it. Just a never ending series of web pages. Is anyone able to actually help me?

Hi Brando,
You will need to contact iTunes Support for help:

Some Solutions for Resetting Forgotten Security Questions: Apple Support Communities

HT5312 Spoke with Apple "support" today about the Security Questions that R blocking us from using i-Tunes. The guy told us to just keep GUESSING his answers. How can U guess answers to Questions that U NEVER answered. Now he's locked out for 8 hrs. :(

We spoke to Customer "support" today, as we can't use i-Tunes for a new i-Pod gift for Christmas. The reason this iPod was bought is because he can no longer upload i-Tunes to his old one because it's a Ver. 3 and it demands you upgrade it (which we tried numerous times before getting into one of these chat rooms and discovering that the iPod 3 is not compatible with the upgrade!! Really makes them all a waste of MONEY. Not happy.
Anyway, the "ADVICE" from the Apple "support" guy was to just keep guessing the answers to the questions. WHAT! He never answered them before, they weren't necessary before, so how can he guess the answers, to questions that were non-existent when he originally created his ID??
Does anyone have any advice regarding this, as I think he has already attached his credit (also a gift) to his ORIGINAL ID, so even if he creates a NEW Apple ID, he will lose that Credit. So furstrated right now!

I assume that you don't have a rescue email address on your account ? How did you contact support ? You should be able to contact them in your country via this link and they should be able to reset the questions : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699

I have forgotten my security question answers, i have tried to reset them but it keeps saying i need to save changes before i leave the page, i try to but it does nothing. help?

Tap on payment information and add a credit/debit card of your preference then select "done", in the upper right corner

Every time I am asked for my Apple password, I put it in and then it is not recognized. When I answer the security question, I am told it is wrong. I reset the password, try again, and we start all over again. Not recognized.

How can I get Apple to recognize me? Every time I try to put in my Apple password, it doesn't recognize it. I try answering the security question, will not recognize it. I end up changing the password then try signing in again and it won't recognize it. We start all over again.

Have you changed the email address associated with the Apple ID? I did, and learned the hard way that it caused a lot of problems. I had to delete that ID and create a new one, then it caused problems with iCloud because of my old email address. If that's not the case, you might need to set up a new Apple ID altogether. Sounds like a pain, but it's not too hard, and you only need to create a new email address. You can also set up new security questions for the new ID and it should be recognized when you enter the information in iTunes, the App Store, etc. If that doesn't work, I recommend calling Apple and explaining the situation. Here's the page for Apple support numbers depending on where you live:

Hope this helps.

HT5787 can you help me with change the security question

can you help me with change the security question

If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then the steps half-way down this page give you a reset link on your account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
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 iTunes Support / Apple in your country to get the questions reset.
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 link above to add a rescue email address for potential future use

How do I reset the security questions without a phonecall ? No option to use my rescue email exists.,

I need to reset the security questions on an Apple ID.
It does not give me the option to use a recovery email, although there is one on the account.
The only option is phone support, which I cannot use.
I need a chat or email option to reset security questions, can anyone help?
thanks!

See If you forgot the answers to your Apple ID security questions - Apple Support
IF your rescue email is not working, your options are pretty limited - find a phone and call them is about the only way you are going to get things reset and workIng.
