I forgot my security question answers, it won't let me buy music now

If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then go 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 should 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 you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and 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 ...

I forgot the security questions answers & alternative email address also

Do you know what your rescue email address is ? An alternate email address is not used for resetting security questions. If you don't know your rescue email address, or don't have one on your account (you won't be able to view / add /change it until you can answer your questions), then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple in your country to get the questions reset.

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.
