I forgot my security question but my verification email address is no longer valid, what do I do?

I have never needed to answer my security questions, so the correct information slipped my mind. But my dilemma is the fact that the verification email address is no longer valid and I'm not sure how to get my verification.

Ok so you are unable to remember your security questions and the verified rescue email is no longer active.
The only other way to reset those would be to contact AppleCare for assistance. Follow the link below for the number in your country:

I'm trying to recover my security questions, but my alternate email address on the link does not match the one I have put in my Apple ID, on the link it is has an old one that no longer exists. Has anyone else been through this or knows how to help m

I've been trying to remember my security questions for ages, and I can't seem to remember them. On my Apple ID I have changed my alternate email address because the previous one was deleted, but when I go on the "Password and Security" page on my Apple ID and there is a link saying "Forgot your answers? Send reset security info email to ************@*******.com" but it is giving me my old email that does not match my current one on my Apple ID and no longer exists. I have been trying for very long to recover my security questions' answers, but Apple is not coping with me.
Has anyone been through this or knows how to help me?
Thank you.

HT1918 Hello, I have a account but I can't buy anything because I forgot my security questions and my rescue email.

Hello, I have a account but I can't buy anything because I forgot my security questions and my rescue email.

If you can't remember your rescue email address (and seeing the reset link via steps 1 to 5 on this page doesn't help you remember it) then you will need to contact iTunes Support or Apple to get the questions reset.
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 view (or change/add) your 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
