I can't answer the security questions

I need help. I cant answer any of the security questions because none of them apply to me and the ones that do i dont remember, now i cant buy anything because i need to answer these questions. Is there a way to turn them off...

I too am stumped by the security questions. I can't answer any either. As a result, I can't even download free apps.
The problem also with predetermined security questions is that they're discoverable. Say you did have a favorite teacher. You or one of your friends might have mentioned that teacher on Facebook or a blog.
Another problem with predetermined questions is that "dunno" could be an answer – an easy answer to crack!
The best is to give the user the option of creating their own security questions.

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...

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!

I am trying to buy something on itunes on new iphone 5 and can't answer the security questions. Answers I thought I knew don't work. No rescue email option, and no other option I can see. Help!

Trying to download app on new iphone 5. I cannot remember answers to security questions. There is no rescue email option or any other option that I can find. Any suggestions? Help!

I just went through a similar situation. Here is what I did.
Note: Before starting your account MUST NOT be locked. If you have locked the account out, you must wait 8 hours for it to reset before proceeding.
Call 800 My iPhone. You can bypass the VRU by pressing 0 which takes you straight through to a support person. This person will not be able to help you directly but can put you through to account security support. Explain your situation and ask to be put through to the account security department.
Before account security can reset your security questions, they will need to verify your identity. They can do this by using any combination of 2 of the following methods
1) By correctly entering the answer to only 1 of your security questions.
2) By verifying a credit card associated with your apple id
3) By sending a verification code to your phone which you will then read back to them.
If you do not have a credit card associated with your Apple ID, add one prior to calling them. Go to Settings ... iTunes & App Stores ... then click on your Apple ID (top of screen)
Now, select View Apple Id from the popup menu, enter your password if prompted, click on Payment Information. You will now be able to add your credit card info. You can remove it later on by selecting 'None' on the same screen.
After the account security person verifies your identity, s/he will reset your security questions. You will then be able to go to http://appleid.apple.com sign in and enter new answers to the security questions which, of course, you will write down and save.
While you are in there, be sure to enter a 'Rescue Email Address' in the event you forget or loseyour answers, the system be able to mail them to you and you can avoid a redux of this whole exercise.
This worked for me, hope it does for you. Good Luck!

HT5312 I can not answer the security questions

hello
I have a problem
i cant rember answers of security questions and i have mony in my acount
please help me

If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then steps 1 to 5 on the page that you posted from should work : go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account, then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you should see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
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 won't get the reset option - 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 (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the page that you posted from add a rescue email address for potential future use.

Hi Kazmania89,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
If you require additional assistance with this, click on the link below for guidance:

Once you are able to gain access to the old Apple ID, this article may be helpful:

I have purchased music, apps, or books with multiple Apple IDs. How can I get all of this content onto my iOS device? 
First, you need to copy all of your purchased content so it is on the same Mac or PC with iTunes. This computer should be the one you sync your device with. For more information on how to move your content, see these articles:
Mac: iTunes for Mac: How to copy purchases between computers
PC: iTunes for Windows: How to copy purchases between computers
Next, authorize your computer to play content with each Apple ID in iTunes. Once your computer is authorized for all your content, it can be synced to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
Cheers,
- Judy

If you don't have access to your rescue email account (an alternate email address is a different address/setting on your account) then 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'

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.

If you don't see the 'send reset info' button on the page where you can change them then I assume that you don't have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account. As 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. You could 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 try Apple ID Account Security
