I forgot my security question answers. It has never asked me what they were, and now they are and I have already put a gift card on my account. I have used all my tries, but I need me some music!lol

I have forgotten my security question answers. I have never had to use them while purchasing, but I tried today, and they asked for them. So I now can't buy my music which really *****, because I am sitting in the hospital waiting room wanting to get some music, and I can't now. Is there a way I can get around that? Cause I seriously can't remember my answers. I don't even remember setting them up when I set up my account a couple years ago.

I forgot my security question answers and my rescue email address has been deactivated.

As I said in the title, I forgot my security question answers and my rescue email address has been deactivated. Conveniently, you must enter your security questions to change your rescue email. The answers to the security questions are sent to the rescue email, so I am stuck. My only option seems to be to call Apple Support, which is my entire Friday off spent on an aggravating phone call. If anyone can give my an alternative route for fixing my problem, I am all ears.
Please Help.

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

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 forgot my security question answers but the email to reset wont send?

I Forgot my security questions answers, so i followed all of the steps and emailed myself the reset link but the reset link wasn't received and i have tried to resend it over 10 times now? I even deleted all of my other alternate email addresses and sent it to only one email but it still wont send. Please help, i just got a $50 gift card and since this is happening i cannot even use it

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.

Forgot my security question answers, how do I reset them?

I forgot my security question answers...... How can I reset them??? Help!!!

It's not due to lack of reading the screen. I'm getting the same thing on one of my apple id accounts. I logged in using two other accounts I have and each had a slightly different behavior. One had the "reset password by email" button above the security questions that I could modify just fine.
However, my primary account which is used for accessing other services with Apple will not allow me to see the "reset password by email" or allow me to edit my security questions. It gives me a combination of two questions out of three possible. Unless I get the answer right, it will not let me reset the password or change my security questions.
I've scanned the web pages in painful detail and am not missing any instructions or other links that might help get around this "chicken and the egg" problem.
The primary difference between the problematic Apple ID and the others I've used is that it was associated with a Family Pack mobile me/.mac account. It was the primary account. Wonder if there is some special code to protect the primary account id so that the other five Mobile Me/.Mac accounts won't get compromised. Just grasping at straws ...
