I don't know the answers to my security questions for my apple ID  , so I can't buy anything , what do I do ?

I don't know the answers for my security on my apple ID and I've made purchase on my iPad before I don't know why it needs them can someone please help me so I can make purchases

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.
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 see if this user tip helps : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551
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 try Apple ID Account Security
or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57

  • HT201363 I don't know the answers to my security questions or my rescue email address, how can I change those

    I need to change my security questions because I don't know the answers to them and I don't know my rescue email either. How do I fix that?

    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.

    If you changed your Apple ID from the old email address (that is showing up) to a new one, but just forgot to update it on your iPhone, try these steps.
    1. Use your current Apple ID password
    Trying using your current Apple ID password. If that doesn't work, continue to the next step.
    2. Sign out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime
    If you are currently signed in to iMessage or FaceTime
    Sign out of iMessage or FaceTime:
    iMessage: Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive, tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    FaceTime: Go to Settings > FaceTime, tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    Sign back in to iMessage or FaceTime:
    iMessage: Go to Settings > Messages, then tap "Use your Apple ID for iMessage".
    FaceTime: Go to Settings > FaceTime, then tap "Use your Apple ID for FaceTime".
    You should now be able to sign out of iCloud. You will still see your previous Apple ID when signing out.
    If you are not signed in to iMessage or FaceTime
    Sign in to iMessage or FaceTime:
    iMessage: Go to Settings > Messages, then tap "Use your Apple ID for iMessage".
    FaceTime: Go to Settings > FaceTime, then tap "Use your Apple ID for FaceTime".
    You should now be able to sign out of iCloud. You will still see your previous Apple ID when signing out.
    3. Change your Apple ID temporarily
    If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't work, try these steps:
    Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
    Tap Settings > iCloud and try to sign out.
    Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
    Tap Settings > iCloud and sign in with the new Apple ID.

  • HT5312 I don't know the answers to my security questions and I don't know my rescue email. Now I'm locked out of my account. How do I fix this?

    It kept asking me to answer security question and I don't know the answer because my account is super old. I don't know my rescue email either. My sister said if I just kept answering the questions wrong it would stop but instead I got locked out. Please help I have money on my account.

    You need to contact Apple, either through the link in that article or by phoning them and asking for the Account Security team.

  • How do I change the answers to my security questions for my apple id verification?

    I just purchased a new ipad and I wanted to buy an app. I was asked to answer security questions to verify my apple id but I do not remember these answers. How can I change these answers and questions???

    Reset Security Questions
    Frequently asked questions about Apple ID
    Manage My Apple ID
    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!

  • I don't know the answers to my security questions, I always put in the 2 answers that make sense but this is the second time that Apple has made me give security questions and I'm very upset that I've had to complain twice now!

    It wouldn't bother me if this was the first time, but it's not. I don't know if I supplied an emergency email or not, if I did I have no idea what it would be. It might even be my dad's and talking to him about this would be a nightmare. The first time this happened I just sent an email explaining what was going on and then they made it so I didn't need to supply a security question to use my iPhone but now it's making me supply one for my iPod, even though it's older than my phone and I've never had to supply one before on that device. It'd be nice if I could have the security questions emailed to my actual email instead of some other bogus email that I have forgotten about. Sorry this isn't the most polite complaint, but I'm pretty frustrated and would like an answer that doesn't involve call apple. I think I have social anxiety because I'm not all that great talking to strangers, even if it's on the phone.

    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 get a clue to what it is, and potentially use it, by going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and clicking '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, or don't want to use, your rescue email address (you won't be able to add/change it until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support or Apple to get them reset (which will be by phone as they need to verify your id - we are fellow users here on these forums).
    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 this page to add/change rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312 . Or you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570
