HT5312 why do you have to answer security questions to reset them, if you don't know your security questions how are you able to reset them?

I don't understand this. Why can't you send an email to reset the questions or give you the answers?

The Three Best Alternatives for Security Questions and Rescue Mail
    1. Use Apple's Express Lane.
          Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; click 'See all products and services' at the
          bottom of the page. In the next page click 'More Products and Services, then
          'Apple ID'. In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Forgotten Apple
          ID security questions' and click 'Continue'. Please be patient waiting for the return
          phone call. It will come in time depending on how heavily the servers are being hit.
     2.  Call Apple Support in your country: Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support or
          Apple ID- Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security. Ask to speak to
          Account Security.
     3.  Rescue email address and how to reset Apple ID security questions.

    Trying to re-install iTunes and the message "Apple mobile device failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services." But I don't know what to do? Please can someone help, I'm not the most technologically advanced person.

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • IF YOU DON'T KNOW YOUR SECURITY QUESTIONS, HOW ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO RESET THEM?

    I registered with Apple 3 years ago. This year I bought a new HP Laptop and an iPad 3. I tried downloading something that I needed for school and it asked me for my security questions. I set these questions 3 years ago. There is no way to reset the questions without Apple sending you a riduculous email saying that the only way to reset the questions is to call Apple. When you call Apple, in order to talk to someone who actully knows what they are talking about, they say you have to pay $19.95. What am I supposed to do?

  • When I watch a video of TV show online, whenever an ad comes, the video stops and a message appears: "The video you have requested is ... being blocked by an ad blocker installed in your browser." How can I resolve?

    I had been having no problem watching videos online of recent TV shows. Now the video stops every time it comes to the built-in ads. Has an update of Firefox installed an ad blocker that's making it impossible for me to watch TV videos (of recent TV shows at the network websites) without getting stopped every time an ad comes on. If I jump ahead to a point AFTER the ads, then sometimes, it WILL play the ads so the ads aren't blocked "after the fact".

  • Apple says not to carry your iphone near your body, but how are you supposed to carry it? What does everyone think about this?

    Just curious, I don't see much about this topic, but apparently the radiation levels of this phone are very high. I bet most people carry their phones in their pockets, yet no one is asking about the fact that apple says not to.  Is this practical? Is this something to be concerned about? I don't care about a phone bending vs. my health being seriously affected.

    I Suspect they are just covering their butts for possible future lawsuits. There are reports that some women who carry their (smaller) cell phones in their bra go on to develop breast rumors directly adjacent to where the phone usually sat. There are also studies that find nerve cell stimulation in the brain directly adjacent to the ear where a phone is being used. Three companies have now developed machines designed to use this effect to treat depression. There is much that is unknown about the effects of RF radiation, so phone companies logically want to avoid liability. No one really knows the risks.

  • I forgot my security questions and i don't have a rescue email and in order to make a rescue email you need to know your security questions..... Is there anything I can do?

    Is there any way to set up a rescue email if you don't know your security questions?

    No. 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.

  • I keep losing my audio files after saving them. Have no idea why. Anyone have an answer?

    Hi, I'm recording a podcast with music and male voice narration files. I keep losing the male narration voice files every time I save. I've tried command S and File Save and have no idea why this is occurring. Can someone offer any help? Thanks.

    Need more information:
    What model iPod and iOS
    Are you using iCloud notes
    After you make a note  does the not not appear when you open the Notes app the the next time? What if yo do not close the notes app (or go to another app) and then go back to that note?
    Is anybody deleting the note on another device or iCloud?

  • HT204088 you have taken 1.58 from my debit card and i do not know why. There is no history for it. Please tell me what it is for

    You have taken 1.58 from my debit card and i do not know what for. There is no history for it. Please tell me what it is for. Thank you

    We are fellow users here on these forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple, we won't know.
    Have you added or changed your credit card details on your iTunes account ? If you have then each time that you do so a small temporary store holding charge may be applied to check that the card details are correct and valid and that it's registered to exactly the same name and address as on your iTunes account - it should disappear off your account within a few days or so.
    Store holding charge : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3702
    If not then you can contact iTunes Support via this page and see if they can help : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

    That's an App Store problem not an iPhoto one. That forum is here

    but perhaps you just need to try again later, as the message says.
