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.

    If you mean that you don't have a rescue email address set up on your account as described on the page that you posted from (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 you can then use the steps half-way down the steps half-way down the HT5312 page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use

  • I am signed into my iTunes account.  However, Im asked for answers to security questions I can't remember.  I have clicked to reset through e-mail, yet I am not getting any email from iTunes.  Any advice on fixing this?

    If you are not getting the email, you can contact Apple Support to have your Security Questions reset:
    ACCOUNT SECURITY CONTACT NUMBERS
    Once you get them reset, check your Rescue Email address on Manage Your Apple ID to make sure it is still a functional address. It is not the same as your primary or alternate address.

  • Can't purchase music or access itunes account

    For the past few months, I haven't been able to access my account or purchase music. itunes keeps looping back to the sign-in authorization screen. I'm rarely on and hoped that it was an itunes bug that they would fix. This problem seems to correspond to my last itunes upgrade, 9.0.2(25). Any ideas?

    Has this been resolved? My mac seems to think I'm running windows. Everytime I try to redeem a gift card it tells me to check the date/time settings (mine is auto-update) and to make sure my computer is setup to accept cookies (it is). It gives me a link for more help/info, but that takes me to a guide for windows help for those using a PC. I can't access my account either. I can log-in, but it will not allow me to access my account. I've reset my password numerous times but it doesn't have any affect. Any thoughts???

  • How can I transfer music from my iTunes account to my daughters iTunes account

    How can I transfer music from my iTunes account to my daughters new iTunes account?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    'Tranferring' implies the change of ownership, which isn't possible.
    If you mean share the content, this can be done by homesharing.

  • HT4557 can I share music on my itunes account with my wife's iphone?

    Can I share music on my itunes account with my wife's iphone?

    I have a similar problem, and have followed your suggestions with great success.
    We both have seperate itunes accounts and both share the same login on our computer (although I could create a login for her if it would be better).
    As I said, setting up her phone worked great, I could add all of my music, and select the apps I already had to put on her phone, etc.  However, now I cannot log back into my account from itunes on our computer, I just get an error saying iTunes is not available at this time.
    My phone also started asking for her itunes details each time I went to the App store / itunes on my phone, but I've changed this back to me.
    So, my question is, how do I get back into itunes on my computer?  Should it be possible to keep swapping accounts?

    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.

  • 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.

  • HT1386 I have a new iPhone and want to purchase a ringtone on iTunes.  It keeps asking for answers to a question that I did not set up and don't have the answer for.  How do I get pass this dilemma?

    I have a new iphone and want to purchase ringtones from itunes.  Itunes is asking answers for security questions I did not set up and I can't answer them.  How do I get past this to be able to purchase.  I can purchase songs on my MAC and sync but itunes doesn't give the option to purchase ringtones on the MAC, just the iphone.

    If the email hasn't arrived after a few hours and isn't in a spam filter, you need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, or clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed in either article, filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

  • HT201413 I have a family itunes account- i purchased a new itouch and each time i try to purchase an app - the itouch asks me to confirm security questions that I never set.

    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

  • I have purchased songs from itunes before on this computer. Now i am getting security questions that i do not know the answers to. It is saying that it is the first time I have purchased from this computer..

    I have purchased songs from the itunes store many times on this computer. Now it is saying that I have to answer security questions that I do not know the answers to before i can download a song. It says because I have not purchased before on this computer, but I have. Can't get past it and just download my songs.

    The reset link will show on your account if you have a rescue email address on it, if you only have alternate email addresses then it won't show.
    If the country where you and your iTunes account are isn't on this page (you need to be in a country to use its store) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    then you can try contacting support via this page and explain that you've forgotten your answers, don't have a rescue email address, and your country isn't on the HT5699 page and see what they reply with : https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html

  • HT5035 Why, when trying to download a "free" app from iTunes after it say's, "this apple id hasn't been used with the iTunes store" does it keep asking for credit card info???

    This is so frustrating! I have an itunes store account, etc. I lost all my info when I had to "restore" my iphone.
    I wasn't able to do the "restore" until recently, gosh it was about 6mos or more ago when my iphone died...
    So, as I get older I am having memory problems and haven't been able to access my itunes account.
    Obviously when I did the "restore" on my iphone I lost all my info with it... So, wanting to use my iphone for
    music, games, etc. I had to create a new apple id, fine, but when I wanted to download a "free" app it says
    my apple id hasn't been used with itunes so it keeps asking for credit card info.
    I do not remember ever having to have a credit card before!
    I am so frustrated... First it was not being able to access my account then having to create a new one, fine!
    But now I can't download "free" content without credit card information!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! UGH!!!!!!!
    Please, can anyone help...?!?
    Sincerely,
    "Distressed"

    If you are within 14 days of purchase you can still return the iPhone and get the phone that suits your needs, however, I think you will find that no matter which phone you get the content provider will want to know how you are going to pay for future purchases. For Android phones it is Google, and they will certainly want to know.
