I have a New IPone 5 and I cannot buy anything thru Itunes since I have not purchased from this device before. Itunes is trying to verify my ID by asking some security questions that I have never put the answers in for. Tried Support.
Apple Support says they have to have the answers to the security questions before they can rest my questions...????/
The Three Best Alternatives for Security Questions and Rescue Mail
1. Send Apple an email request at: Apple - Support - iTunes Store - Contact Us.
2. Call Apple Support in your country: Customer Service: Contact Apple support.
3. Rescue email address and how to reset Apple ID security questions.
A substitute for using the security questions is to use 2-step verification:

Hi All! 1st time I have had this problem: Itunes store says I have never made purchases from this computer (I have, many times) and is asking security questions that I don't know the answers to. What next? If I keep missing the questions, it is threatening to lock me out of my account. I am sad.

Please help me I just purchased an iTunes card and I want to use it immediatly
If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then you can try going 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 might 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 see if the instructions on this user tip helps you get them reset : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551 -
I can't change my password! I don't know the answers to my security questions and the recuse email I put in years ago may not even exist. I need help!
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.

iTunes is telling me that I have not purchased from my iPhone before although I have multiple times, and I don't remember my security questions and there is no option to change them. Any suggestions other than making a new account?
If you create a new Apple ID you won't have access to the media purchased with the Apple ID you are currently using.

HT5577 why i have some security question that i never seen before?
I tried to change my password on apple id and i got some security questions that i never seen before..what can i do in this case?please help me
Welcome to the Apple Community Helen.
If you don't know your password, don't know your security questions and don't have a rescue address or don't receive a reset email, you should contact AppleCare who will initially try to assist you with a reset email or if unsuccessful will pass you to the security team to reset your security questions for you.
If you are in a region that doesn't have international telephone support try contacting Apple through iTunes Store Support. -

I am using a different divice than normal and because if security it is asking me questions that I don't know the answers to, so I get them wrong.
Click here for information. If the option to have the answers emailed to you isn't available or doesn't work(the email may take a few hours to arrive), contact the iTunes Store staff via the link in the 'Additional Information' section of that article.
Nobody on these boards can reset them for you.

I have a question that I think I know the answer to, but am looking for confirmation. I have a desktop computer at home that has clip art loaded onto it. I recently got an iPad and am looking for something similar. I assume I need to get an APP for it, and if that is correct, does anyone have one that they like?
Sort of. There is an app called art shop that gives you a place to park clip art. But I don't think you really need it.
If you have a collection of clip art you want available, move it to the camera roll on your pad/ phone, then copy paste into your document the clip you want.
You can get them into the camaera roll by putting them in a single event in your picture library and syncing them over, or e mail them to your self, and save to the camera roll, or send them to drop box, and bring them down that way.
The challenge is getting them all in one place to make it easy for you to find, which is why syncing might be the best approach in the long run.
As near as I can tell there is not a ready made clip art collection in app format laying around. -
I signed into my Apple ID on a new phone and I already had it on my iPod. When I signed into the new phone it won't let me buy anything unless I know my old security questions but I don't know the answers to them. How can I get past those or change them?
