I forgot the answers to my security questions and do not posses the option to send answers to a rescue email

I forgot the answers to my security questions. I have gone in circles reading over the instructions on how to retrieve them via rescue email, but I do not have that option. I cannot buy music on three out of four of my devices because of my lack of answers to the security questions. What do I do?

    Had to do a hard reboot on the iPad and we were able to get the questions to pop up. Now it's just slow downloading the apps.

    If you can't remember the answers to the security questions, then go to Express Lane  and select 'iTunes' from the list of 'products' in the middle of the screen.
    Then select 'iTunes Store', and on the next screen select 'Account Management'
    Next choose 'iTunes Store Account Security' and fill in that you'd like your security questions/answers reset.
    You should get an email reply within about 24 hours (and check your Spam folder as well as your Inbox).

    Hello Arnas333
    You would need access to that account in order to reset the questions. If you do not have access to it, then you will need to contact iTunes Store support in order to resolve the issue.

  • I forgot the answer to my security questions, and when i do the steps this site tells me to do the option to change the questions isn't available. what do i do?

    i put a $25 giftcard into my itunes and when i tried getting music it said to answer my security questions which i have forgotten the answers to. When I tried to reset the questions, the option wasn't there

    Hi Tiffany
    1. First, go to http://appleid.apple.com. Underneath where it says "Already have an Apple ID?," click Manage your Account. You will then need to sign in. If you forgot your Apple ID or password, click on the appropriate "Forgot..." link below either of these fields.
    2. After you sign in, click on "Passwords and Security" on the left.
    3. You will be asked to answer the security questions, but you should also notice a link below the second "Answer" field offering to send reset instructions to your rescue email address that you provided.
    4. Check the Inbox of your rescue email address. The email should appear within a minute or two. If it does not, be sure to check Spam. If it is not there either, you can repeat the above process to resend. Once you get the email, following the link will take you to a page where you must sign in again. After doing so, you will have the option to choose three new security questions and answers, which you may want to write down
    5. After you fill in the required information and continue, you should be taken to a confirmation screen stating "Your password and security information has been saved," and then you are done.
    6. The "Forgot your answers?" link will not appear if you do not have a rescue email address set up. In that case you will need to contact iTunes Support, http://apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
    7. Even if you still know the answers to your security questions, it is highly recommended you add a rescue email address. To do so, log in at appleid.apple.com and click on Password and Security. Answer the questions and then click on "Add Rescue Email Address:"

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.
