I forgot my security question answers and the info apple has is not working for me and I don't want to call them, how do I reset my security questions?

I forgot my security question answers and the info apple gave to me didn't help, how do I reset them, I also don't want to call them?

From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5665 :
If you have three security questions and a rescue email address
sign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to send an email to your rescue email address to reset your security questions and answers (the steps half-way down that page should give you a reset link)
If you have one security question and you know your Apple ID passwordsign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to reset your security question.
If you have one security question, but don't remember your Apple ID passwordcontact Apple Support for assistance. Learn more about creating a temporary support PIN to help Apple confirm your identity when you contact Apple Support.
If you can’t reset them via the above instructions (you won't be able to add a rescue email address until you can answer your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple in your country to get the questions reset - which is likely to be by phone as they need to confirm your id and that it's your account.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
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 this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312

  • TS3988 I changed my Apple ID to my new email address successfully for the iTunes and App store but it won't work for iCloud and it won't recognize my password. I read that this can't be done. How am I supposed to get into iCloud?

    I changed my Apple ID to my new email address successfully for the iTunes and App store but it won't work for iCloud and it won't recognize my password. I read that this can't be done. How am I supposed to get into iCloud? I plan on getting rid of my old email address which is my old Apple ID so how is that going to work?

    Same question Wish someone had replied!
    I changed my Apple ID to my new email and now cannot find any way to access icloud. Unfortunately I had allowed icloud to hijack my airbook files, so of course I am afraid I will lose them tomorrow when I exchange my iphone for a new one and cannot keep an icloud account i cannot access. What a poor sync system! Really atypical for apple!

    I purchased Adobe photoshop elements II and Adobe premiere elements II. They are both on one disc. My computer crasded and I had to reload Windows. I only have one serial number and it only works with photoshop II. The same serial number will not work for Premiere. I dont have any other serial numbers. What do I do???

    I am getting a bit concerned about what is happening in your situation. Yesterday you posted your question in at least two different forums, one of them being here in the Premiere Elements Forum.
    Don't Have Serial Number for Premiere, Only Photoshop?
    Wherever you posted, the reply was to contact Adobe via its Adobe Chat. It is the only one who can sort out this matter for you.
    In the thread cited above I offered to help you with the difficulties that you were having visualizing the Adobe Chat in its web page. I was waiting for your follow up on that in the above thread. Instead, I find your same question in a new Adobe Premiere Elements Forum thread this afternoon with no refer the prior threads or prior recommendations given you.
    I will also mention again...when you buy the Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements bundled in one packaging and with installation files for each on the same installation disc, each program has its own serial number. The Photoshop Elements serial number does not work for Premiere Elements and vice versa. The serial numbers are on labels on a box which houses the installation disc envelope(s). So, if you purchased both programs and found the Photoshop Elements serial number, then the Premiere Elements serial number should be in a label right underneath the label with the serial number for Photoshop Elements. I recall writing this in your yesterday's thread on this matter.
    The moderator will no doubt be along shortly to close or delete this thread. So, just in case, please bookmark your yesterday's thread cited above so that we can continue this communication which is trying to help you.
    Thanks.

  • I have a hp pavilion dv4-2160us and the dvd/cd reader is not working. it can't detect the disk too.

    I have a hp pavilion dv4-2160us and the dvd/cd reader is not working. it can't detect the disk too. i've done everything on the hp website to fix it (reinstall the driver, etc.), but nothing seems to help.  can anybody help me with my problem? thanks!

    When you say DVD drive is not working and cant detect disks, Is the Optical drive listed in Device manager and My computer? Is not reading any specific disks or all kinds of disks ?
    Also have you tried all possible troubleshooting steps found over here

    Elton Adobe which web browser are you utilizing?  Are you signed into http://www.adobe.com/ when you attempt to contact our support team directly at Contact Customer Care.
    I would recommend utilizing a different web browser and contacting our support team directly as suggested by KGlad in message #6.

  • I just bought a new iPhone 5 today and the Ambient light sensor is not working. What can i do?

    I just bought a new iPhone 5 today and the Ambient light sensor is not working. What can i do?

    Ambient light sensors are not always perfect in their function. To test, go into darkened room, with screen OFF, Locked, tap Home button. Look at screen it should be normal for use in darkened room, turn on bright lights, the screen should brighten to help compensate. If your iPhone does not do this, then Restore iPhone with current iTunes on your computer. See if better. If still problem, make Genius reservation or set up Service and take or send to Apple for resolution under Warranty.

  • Skype number is suddenly not working for me and my...

    Skype number is suddenly not working for me and my colleagues to RECEIVE outside calls.  Any ideas?
    When I try to call my skype from my cell, it doesnt ring on either end.  It appears connected on the cell phone since the counter clock for the call is increasing, but it doesnt ring or connect.
    This is the same for me and at least 2 of my colleagues.  It was working all day, till suddenly it did not.
    When outside people call, it just gives us a missed call or voicemail email, but does not show a missed call on our skype.
    When I call an outside number from skype, it connects.
    Thanks for any help ASAP!

    I think this might have been happening to me earlier.  If you wait like 30 seconds when you called a machine said "All circuits are busy. da da da".  I was looking for an answer and google only brought stuff from like 2010.  It's working now after an hour or so.
    Sucks cause I use skype for work and was desperate to find a quick reponse but couldn't.

  • Hi. the email application has been removed from my ipad. I don't have back up so how can I get it back?

    Hi. the email application has been removed from my ipad. I don't have back up so how can I get it back?

    It is not possible to remove the Mail app (or any other of the bundled apps) from the iPad. It's probably been moved to another Home screen or inadvertently placed in a folder. If you can't find it, you can reset the Home screens in the General -> Reset preferences.
    Regards.
