HT5622 What is a rescue email?

I cannot get pas "Resue Email" on my iphone, I don't understand what it wants me to do.

A Rescue Email is a second email address that you have. It will be used to send information should there be problems with your account that disables your primary email address.
If you do not have a second email address you can get one for free at many locations like Google, or Yahoo.

    What is a rescue email?

    A rescue email is an email address that you can set on your account which can be used for resetting your security questions if you forgot them (following steps 1 to 5 half-way down the HT5312 page that you posted from would give a reset link on your account for them). If you don't have a rescue email address on your account and you forget the answers then you would need to contact Supportin your country to get them reset, you wouldn't be able to reset them on your own.
    Have you forgotten your answers to your questions ?
    If not, and you'd like to add a rescue email address to your account, then steps 1 to 7 half-way down the HT5312 page should let you do so

  • What is a rescue email

    what is a rescue email

    I'm presently having the odd problem that, if I enter a "rescue email" that is the same as the email address already attached to my AppleID account, I get a blocking error message that the email address entered is already in use by another account.
    If I just leave the "rescue email" address field blank, I can submit and proceed just fine.
    Let's just say that my initial impressions of AppleID/iTunes security (and their effects on basic usability) are pretty bad...

  • HT5312 What is my rescue email address?

    I forget answers for security questions and I don't know what is my rescue email address.

    If you can't correctly guess it, use the link to contact the iTunes Store staff in the 'Additional Information' section of that article; if you don't already have a valid rescue email address, only Apple itself can assist with recovering lost answers.

  • I'm trying to reset my password. I am asked to provide a rescue email address but the iphone wont accept my existing, and only, email address. What can I do?

    My iphone keeps forgetting my password. I have changed it, again, but am being asked for a 'rescue email address' which is different from the only one I use/have.  What is a 'rescue email address' and how do I get one please?

    Apple says that the rescue email address "...allows us to get in touch should any account questions come up, such as the need to reset your password or change your security questions".  You can sign up fo a free gmail address here: http://mail.google.com/mail/help/open.html.
