HT5312 Where the **** is the rescue email address link?

I'm really ******. My iTunes account has been locked for weeks where I have to type in an authentication crap that I don't even remember. I read about it on apple's unreliable website, and the image they show isn't even what the actual webpage looks like. Please help.

The option to send reset info to a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) only appears as described on that page if you have a rescue email on your account - if it's not showing then I assume that you don't have one, in which case see if the instructions on this user tip helps : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551

We are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
The security questions and rescue email address is there for account security. If you don't have a rescue email address then contact iTunes Support using the link on the HT5312 page that you posted from.
When they've been reset you can then either a rescue email address for potential future use, or if it's available in your country you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Start here (change country if necessary) and navigate to 'Password and Security', reset your security questions using the link provided, you will receive an email to your rescue address, use the link in the email and reset your security questions.
If that doesn't help, you don't receive a reset email or you don't have a rescue address, you should contact AppleCare who will initially try to assist you with a reset email or if unsuccessful will pass you to the security team to reset your security questions for you.
If you are in a region that doesn't have international telephone support try contacting Apple throughiTunes Store Support.

Didn't the link to contact the iTunes Store staff in the 'Additional Information' section of that article work for you? If you don't already have a valid rescue email address, only Apple itself can reset the questions.

How do I figure out the rescue email address for my Apple ID?

I can't remember my answers and I can't remember what my rescue email is how can I figure that out?

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
-If you established a rescue email address, there will be a link on the "Passwords & Security" page of id.apple.com. Clicking the link will send the reset to your rescue email address (NOTE: This is not the same address as your Apple ID email)
-If there is no link on the page, then you didn't establish a rescue email address. Contact AppleCare at 800.694.7466 (If you are in the US), and ask for account security. You will need to answer some questions to verify your identity, AND you will need access to a computer to generate a temporary support pin.

HT201356 Can you please put the steps to change the rescuer email address since I cannot receive any emails

Can you please put the steps to change the rescuer email address since I cannot receive any emails

The steps on the page that you posted from should work, but you can only change your rescue email address if you remember your answers to your security questions :
- log into the account via the 'manage your apple id' button on http://appleid.apple.com
- select the Password & Security section on the left-hand side of your account's screen
- answer the account's security questions
- you will then get a screen where you can change the address (and/or the questions)
If you can't remember your answers, and you aren't receiving the reset email to your current rescue email account (and you've checked the spam folder as well as the inbox on it, and tried clicking the reset link again) then you will have to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : Contact Apple for help with Apple ID account security
If your country isn't on that page then try this form to contact Support : https://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
When they've been reset follow the above steps for changing your rescue email address

What would happen if I were to delete the primary email address linked to my Apple ID?

I wish to completely de-activate my @hotmail email address in order to be left with just my @icloud email address becuase I would find life more managable that way.
I found out that I cannot change my primary @hotmail email address linked to my Apple ID with an @icloud email address as it is an active, separate Apple ID (in itself with a separate purchase / download history etc)...
Also I am aware that separate Apple ID's cannot be merged together...
My question is: "What would happen if I were to delete the primary email address linked to my Apple ID?"
Would I be able to keep and use my purchases, provided they are backed up on my Mac and authorised?
Would I be able to update those transferred purchases even though the email address linked to the apple ID in which the app was bought no longer exists?

You can change the primary e-mail address associated with your Apple ID, so long as it isn't a mac, me or icloud email.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5621
Your Apple ID account, regardless of the primary email, can never be 'deleted', just abandoned.
You could always just switch between the two Apple IDs as needed, to access the different purchases.
