I don't remember the security questions and my recovery email has been shut down after years of no activity. What can I do to get back to purchasing music, apps, etc.?
The Three Best Alternatives for Security Questions and Rescue Mail
1. Use Apple's Express Lane.
Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; click 'See all products and services' at the
bottom of the page. In the next page click 'More Products and Services, then
'Apple ID'. In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Forgotten Apple
ID security questions' and click 'Continue'. Please be patient waiting for the return
phone call. It will come in time depending on how heavily the servers are being hit.
2. Call Apple Support in your country: Customer Service: Contact Apple support.
3. Rescue email address and how to reset Apple ID security questions.
A substitute for using the security questions is to use 2-step verification:

I forgot the answer of the two deep security and my account has been locked. How do I retrieve the answers?
Do you have a rescue email set up? Then reset your security questions at iForgot:
http://iforgot.apple.com
If you do not have set up a rescue email, you'll need to speak to our Account Security team for security purposes.
To contact an Account Security Advisor, call the AppleCare technical support team. To find the right phone number, see this article:

I can't seem to remember my security answers and I'm not able to set up a rescue email address and I don't know what to do.
You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed, filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

So, I made my account a while ago before I had an iPhone so I can get music. The result of that I can't remember my security questions, and it tells me to send a rescue email an alert, but it doesn't show you how to get to that page. I am getting quite annoyed because apples hours arent the best fitted to my scedule since I have school and work, so I cant call and ask how to get fixed. Please help me all I want to do is buy some music...

What the ****? I don't remember my **** security answers and I just put $35 on my iTunes account and I am not able to buy anything! I'm so mad! I anwered those questions stupidly and I did not pay attention. And that extra email? I don't have a clue. I am seething and desperate. & I refuse to create a new account with all that mula on the line.
If you don't have a rescue email address, or you don't know what it is (you won't be able to add/view it until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset 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 -
I have an emergency email and it says on my apple ID that it doens't exist. I need to change my security questions. Does anybody know how to actually reset the emergency email? I can't remember my security questions and it is becoming very frustrating. If you can help please comment.
If you don't have access to your rescue email address (you won't be able to change it,or add one, until you can answer 2 of your security questions) then see if the instructions on this user tip helps you reset the questions : https://discussions.apple.com/docs-DOC-4551

Hi
I can not remember my security questions and no longer have access to the email account that i used for my rescue email.
I have a new ipad and can not buy anything on the app store until i can resolve this.On your computer or safari on your iOS device navigate to:
For Canada - https://appleid.apple.com/ca.
For United States - https://appleid.apple.com/us/.
Click the "Manage your Apple ID" button, and sign in to your iCloud account. Once in, on the left side select "Password and Security", and this will populate our options on the right side. You should see an option to reset your security questions.
Also see this article - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312.
If for any reason you can not reset these security questions, or get an error, then you may need to contact Apple directly at 1 800 692 7753. Explain the issue, and they can get your to a "Account Security" agent, who will be able to verify your identity, and assist in resetting the security questions. -
