HT201363 I can't remember my security question answers and it's not giving me an option to do the rescue wmail

Please help me I cannot remember my answer to security questions and I don't see the option for a rescue email

You need to contact Apple.
Start here:
https://expresslane.apple.com/
Navigate the columns as follows: All Products and Services > iTunes > iTunes Store > Account Management > Apple ID account security
Answer the questions and if required sign in with your Apple ID and password - same one you used to log in on this support forum.
You will find an option to send an email to Apple on that page. Compose a thoughtfully worded email explaining your dilemma, and politely ask to have your security questions reset. There are over half a billion iTunes account holders and Apple receives a great many of these questions every day, so make sure yours is easily understood.
You should receive a confirmation email immediately. Check your email spam / junk folder for it because a humanoid should respond in a business day or two, who will probably request you provide some more security-related information before your questions can be reset. You will have to wait for another reply which will provide instructions for resetting your password and your answers to the security questions.
Normal business hours apply, so if it is Friday you may have to wait until Monday.
These back-and-forth emails may result in a week of correspondence before it is fixed.

If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then you can try going 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 might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.

I can't remember my security question answers and I can't purchase anything in the iTunes Store.

So I wanted to buy an app on my new iphone 5 right? Well, the store popped up, window was asking my password all the usual. Until it asked for the answers to my security questions. They were my first teacher, and my favorite teacher. Now because I made this account almost 6 years ago, I honestly cannot remember the answers to these questions! I cannot recall if I had put my actual FIRST teacher's name, or if it was the first teacher who pooped into my head. Ad my favorite teacher? Well that changes daily so who the heck knows what I had then. I just want apple to reset everything for me and let me choose new security questions. I did it for my sister's account, but it won't let me until I answer these darn questions. Someone please help!!

Reset Security Questions
     There are several different methods. Try one. If it doesn't work,
     then try the next one. Don't try to do everything at once.
Frequently asked questions about Apple ID
Manage My Apple ID
Note: you may need to continue entering false answers to the questions until you trigger the response needed to start making changes. It will take six or nine retries.
Or you can email iTunes Support at iTunes Store Support.
If all else fails:
1. Go to: Apple Express Lane;
2. Under Product Categories choose iTunes;
3. Then choose iTunes Store;
4. Then choose Account Management;
5. Now choose iTunes Store Security and answer the bullet questions, then click
      Continue;
6. Sign in with your Apple ID and press Continue;
7. Under Contact Options fill out the information and advise iTunes that you would
      like your security/challenge questions reset;
8. Click Send/Continue.
You should get a response within 24 hours by email.
In the event you are unsuccessful then contact AppleCare - Contacting Apple for support and service.
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!

Hello. I can not remember my security question answers, and I no longer have the email that they are trying to resend them to. Any idea how I can recover the answers?

PLEASE HELP.
I can not remember the answers to the security questions and I no longer have the email that Apple is trying to send the answers to. Is there a way to recover the answers or have the email sent to a different address?

I can't remember my security question answers, and my account won't let me reset them either. Please help!

I just received my new iPad, and I've been buying songs and apps with no problems until iTunes asked me my security questions... I totally forgot the answers! I've already reset my password, and that didn't help. I also tried adding a new email address and that didn't help either. Can anyone help?

Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might 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 your questions) then you will need to contact Support in Saudi Arabia to get the questions reset.

You will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset, which will probably be by phone as they need to confirm your id and that it's your account.
