HT5312 What do I do if my security email isn't my email?

...

What do you mean by 'isnt' my email' ? If won't/can't be the same as any other email address on your account.
If you know the answers to your security questions then the steps half-way down the HT5312 page which posted from will let you change it
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.
If you can't remember your answers and you don't have access to the rescue email account then you will need to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset.

  • HT5312 What happened to the "send reset security info email to  .....@...." link?

    What happened to the "send reset security info email to  .....@...." link at the bottom of the security questions? I forgot mine and cannot figure out how to send this email...

    It's only there if you previously set up a rescue email, which isn't the same as an alternate email. You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

    what if you cant access your rescue email?

    You won't be able to change it until you can answer your questions, you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple in your country to get the questions reset.

  • HT5312 How do I first make a security email?

    I don't have one right now, but I need to make one in order to recover my security answers to the questions. But since I don't know those, I can't make the security email. It doesn't make a lot of sense to me, so I need to know how to do this. It would be great if I got some answers ^^

  • HT5312 What if you don't receive the email to reset security questions

    We haven't received any of our emails to reset security questions what can we do

    These are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to Apple here.
    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.
