I forgot the answers for my security questions
I bought a Iphone5 and when i try to buy something from Itunes, Itunes requires me to answer the answers for my security
questions. However, i have forgotten the answers. So, is there any way to figure out this problem?
Usually you will need to contact iTunes store support but this workaround may help:
-On the device/computer that is asking you for the security questions go to "settings", > "store" > tap the Apple ID and choose view"Apple ID" and sign in.
- Tap on payment information and add a credit/debit card of your preference then select "done", in the upper right corner
- 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.
- 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.

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.

Here is some bad luck.
I forgot the answers for my security questions. I want to buy an app in the app store but Apple keeps asking me these questions I can't remember the answers to. All because my rescue email address has been deactivated due to inactivity. Now what?
I tried to create my old email address again, but funny enough it told me that specific email address was already taken....You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.

I searched for an answer everywhere but nothing actually helped me.
I forgot my answers for the security questions.
Whenever I want to download any application I have to answer the security questions which I don't know the answer for.
Plus whats more worse is that I can't reset the security questions unless I have a rescue email, and I don't have one.
What to do now?You will need to contact Apple for assistance. See the user tip created by Kappy, another user here, on how to proceed:

Hello there, Faisal-almutairi.
The following Knowledge Base article has the information you need for what to do in your situation:
Apple ID: All about Apple ID security questions
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5665
Specifically:
What should I do if I don't remember the answers to my Apple ID security questions?
Try answering them at least once to see if you can get them right, even if you are not sure you remember the answers to your security questions.
If you are confident you can't remember them, try one of the following:
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.
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 password
contact Apple Support for assistance. Learn more about creating a temporary support PIN to help Apple confirm your identity when you contact Apple Support.
Note: If you have forgotten your password and answer your security questions incorrectly too many times in a row, you will be unable to try to answer your security questions for a period of time. During that time you will not be able to reset your password and will not have access to your account.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

Hey guys, I forgot the answers to my security questions. Recently iTunes asked me for the answers, since I forgot I'm now unable to purchase anything :( help please
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 won't get the reset option - you will need to contact iTunes Support or Apple to get them 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 (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 . Or, if it's available in your country, you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570 -
I need to by apps but it keeps asking for my security questions ;/ but forgot the answers to my security questions and the security/rescue email too (i dont have USA number to call please help me and send my rest to my email
