I don't have a recovery email and it says I do

I'm trying to buy things for my apple account, and it says I have to verify my security questions and I forgot them and tried to use my email and it says an email was sent to my recovery email. But, the recovery email it has is incorrect. How do I solve this problem?

You need to 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.

I don't have a rescue email and I forgot my security question + answers.

I recently just bought a mac and I tried to download pages for school but it required me to put in my answers to the security questions to which I don't remember. I clicked "Forgot your answers" and I didn't get anything in my email. It turns out that I don't have a "rescue" email and I don't know what to do. I have a $100 on the account and I can't even use it.

Can anyone help me how to reset my security questions on my apple account? I forgot the answers and need to reset it. Please Help...

An alternate email is not used for resetting security questions, do you know if you have a rescue email address on your account ? If you do then follow steps 1 to 5 half-way down this page and you should get a reset link on your account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
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.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699#S
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 link above to add a rescue email address for potential future use

I don't have a rescue email, and I forgot the answers for my security question. What shall I do?

I searched for an answer everywhere but nothing actually helped me.
I forgot my answers for the security questions.
Whenever I want to download any application I have to answer the security questions which I don't know the answer for.
Plus whats more worse is that I can't reset the security questions unless I have a rescue email, and I don't have one.
What to do now?

You will need to contact Apple for assistance. See the user tip created by Kappy, another user here, on how to proceed:

Cannot access iCloud because I don't have the primary email and password I originally set it up with. Is there any way to remove this primary username and password without either the email address and the password?

How do I delete an old iCloud username and password. I have neither of them anymore and cannot access icloud to change settings. Set up a second username and password but icloud still won't rcognize the my birthdate and security questions answers I've answed. hope somebody else has had this problem. Thanks

If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

HT5625 I forgot my security qustion and i don't have a secure email and i live in iran

I forgot may security question answer and i do not
Have a secure email address and I live in Iran so I
Can not contact with your support team.
Could you help me by email or online?

Please be aware that you are not communicating with Apple when you post in these forums. Most of the people who will reply to your posts are, like me, your fellow users.
As to your issue, go to:
https://appleid.apple.com/
Click "Manage My Account", sign in, and go to the Password and Security section. If you've forgotten your answers, there should be a link just under the security questions fields where you can have a reset email sent to your Rescue email address. If the link for the email doesn't appear, as can happen if you didn't set a rescue email address or (apparently) have a .Mac email address, see the user tip created by Kappy, another user here, on how to proceed:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551
Note that Apple has not yet released any of their producst in Iran - in fact until recently they were prohibited by US law from doing so. They have no iTunes Store in Iran and you are not allowed to use another country's iTunes Store from outside of that country, so Apple Support may not be able to do anything to help you.
Regards.
