HT5577 why i have some security question that i never seen before?
I tried to change my password on apple id and i got some security questions that i never seen before..what can i do in this case?please help me
Welcome to the Apple Community Helen.
If you don't know your password, don't know your security questions and don't have a rescue address or don't receive a reset email, 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 through iTunes Store Support.

I have set my itunes account up and now I want to make a purchase, however Itunes wants me to answer security questions, these questions are not the same questions that I answered while setting up my account therefore I have no answers and now i am locked out. I am extremely frusturated. HELP!!!
Click here for information. If the option to have the answers emailed to you isn't available or doesn't work(the email may take a few hours to arrive), contact the iTunes Store staff via the link in that article.

I want to buy the Craigslist pro app and when I sign into iTItem as described and fast shipping! Aunes with my Apple ID and password ( both of which I know) it then asks security questions that I never chose ( or are even options to chose) in my profile.
If you don't know their answers then 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 should let you reset them : 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 2 of your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.

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 -
TS3297 This software asks security questions that you never setup, real bad software!
Beware, after updating to the new version of itunes and trying to purchase a song it thinks it is a new computer and asks security questions that you never setup. Real bad! Still do not know how to reset security questions with new version of Itunes.
Any Ideas?You don't need to buy only from the App Store. If only you knew how to change settings in the security pane of your Mac... You would know that you can change this setting. But of course, you don't need a "babysitter" to make things easy for you.

My daughter's itouch (registered to my apple account) is asking for answers to security questions that I never answered and it won't let her buy anything from the iTunes store. I tried a hard reset to original settings but it still asks for answers. How do I reset the security questions or get rid of them appearing altogether? I can purchase apps on my phone (same apple account) and it doesn't ask me for security questions.

You need to either reset the rescue email address's password(check the site's help for instructions) or ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.

Hi Mission73,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The article below explains how to change your rescue email address and/or reset your Apple ID security questions.
You can attempt to answer your security questions in order to change your rescue email.
If you are unable to remember the answers to your security questions and the rescue email address has changed -- contact Apple ID Security for asissistance.
Rescue email address and how to reset Apple ID security questions
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
When creating a new Apple ID for use with the iTunes Store or Mac App Store, you will be asked to provide an optional rescue email address. If you have an existing Apple ID that you use with the iTunes Store or Mac App Store, you may be asked to provide some additional security information, including a rescue email address. When you provide a rescue email address, all future security emails, such as password resets from iForgot, will be sent to the address provided. The rescue email address you provide cannot be the same as your primary email address for your Apple ID. In most cases, your primary email address is the same as your Apple ID username.

I have a family itunes account with several devices attached... I can make purchases on all except the newest one.... each time I try to make a puchase it asks me to confirm security questions that I have never set
The reset link will only show if you have a rescue email address already set up on your account - if you don't have one then you won't get the reset option, and you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions, you will need to contact iTunes Support or Apple to get the questions reset.
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 add a rescue email address for potential future use, or you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570 -
When trying to purchase an app I keep getting redirected to answer security questions that I havent previously been asked so I dont have the answers??
Click here and search the article for '2 out of 3' without the quotes; this generally involves either a message being sent to your rescue email address or contacting the iTunes Store staff directly.

HT1725 App downloading security questions I've never seen
When downloading apps I type in my password and it asks questions that I haven't seen before like " what was the first car that you owned" I haven't even had a car.
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Contact Apple through iTunes Store Support, and explain that you have forgotten your 3 security questions, that you can reset your password, but doing so doesn't reset your security questions.
Explain that after resetting your password, you are still asked for the answers you have forgotten, before you can gain access to My Apple ID > Manage your account > Password & security, which is where you need to be to change your answers.
Remember, support will receive hundreds, if not thousands of requests per day, some from people trying it on, others with little explanation and others that are written extremely poorly. Take the time to explain your situation properly, be precise and concise, brief but comprehensive. -
