I answer the security questions correctly, but the answers are not accepted

I just got ISo8. i am trying to do the set-up routine. I answer the security questions correctly, but the answers are not accepted, so the process is stalled.
How do I get things moving?

Hi shahidrana,
It seems to me that the downloaded file might be corrupted.
Please try re-downloading the file from: Download Acrobat products | Standard, Pro | XI, X and install.

My old email account was disabled and I can't remember my password - how can I reset my password or move $ to a new itunes/email account? It seems I must have mis-typed my information because I can't answer the security questions correctly...

My itouch is asking me for answers to security questions that I never answered and it won't let me buy anything from the iTunes store. I tried a hard reset to original settings but it still asks for answers.

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.

HT5312 How to recover security...: Apple Support Communities

HT5312 Hi,I want to buy some apps today. While I was ready to purchase , the store ask me to answer my security questions. But I had already forgot my answer ! Now I can't purchase any app, help ! Thanks!

Hi,I want to buy some apps today.

The HT5312 page that you posted from has instructions for how to reset them i.e. if you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) on your account then steps 1 to 5 half-way down that page should give you a reset link.
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions) then you will need to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset (these are user-to-user forums).
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
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 page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use

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.

Another user had success doing the following:
I got some help from an apple assistant on the phone. It is kind of round about way to get in.
Here is what he said to do and it is working for me...
a. on the device that is asking you for the security questions go to "settings", > "store" >
      tap the Apple ID and choose view"Apple ID" and sign in.
b. Tap on payment information and add a credit/debit card of your preference then select
      "done", in the upper right corner
c. sign out and back into iTunes on the device by going to "settings"> "store" > tap the
      Apple ID and choose "sign-out" > Tap "sign -in" > "use existing Apple ID" and you
      should be asked to verify your security code for the credit /debit card and NOT the
      security questions.
d. At this time you can remove the card by going back in to edit the payment info and
      selecting "none" as the card type then saving the changes by selecting "done". You
      should now be able to use your iTunes store credit without answering the security
      questions.
It's working for me ...I just have to put in my 3 digit security pin from the credit card I am using.
Good Luck friends!

On my iphone 4 it still wants me to answer the security question to improve the security

on my iphone 4 it still wants me to answer the security question to improve the security How do I fix this I have been doing this for the past 5 days or so and it's bugging me!

It will be 3 questions no matter where you do it. It's been quite a while since I did this myself, but as I recall this is what I did:
Open iTuens on your computer
Click Store>View My Account
In the pop-up window, verify that the correct Apple ID is shown, then enter your password and click View Account
At that point, I believe I was prompted to choose my security questions and provide answers. Or perhaps I had to click Done on the bottom right first...can't remember.
If that doesn't work, try choosing Store>Sign Out and then Store>Sign In, provide your password and perhaps you will get the prompt then.

If you have music that was purchased on different iTunes accounts than the one you use, then you must provide the password, otherwise the tunes are not considered yours. You can turn off iCloud and just use the usual USB sync method. But I wonder whether you'll have the same problem?

Please be aware that you are not communicating with Apple when you post in these forums. These are user-to-user support forums, so in almost all cases the only people who will reply to your posts are, like me, your fellow users.
As to whether you can work with Apple via email on this issue I can't say for sure, but you can contact them via this web page:
http://www.apple.com/support/appleid/contact/
and see if they can help. It's mostly going to be an issue of you being able to prove to them that you are the account owner.
