I have forgotten my security question answers. My Apple ID won't let me into my account to change them until I've answered them. Help?
In iTunes, it won't let me purchase anything for my account until I've answered two security questions. Since I have forgotten the answers, I went onto the customer support page. They said there should be a link so that I can reset the answers, but it asks me again for the answers to two security questions before I can access my Passwords and Security file. I then went onto customer support, but that sent me in one big loop right back to where I started. What do I do to reset my answers? Please help!
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.

Hey plz i need help i have forgotten my security questions answers how to reset them
plz i need help i have forgotten my security questions answers how to reset them
If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) on your account then the steps half-way down this page will give you a reset link on your account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple in your country to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
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 the HT5312 link above to add a rescue email address for potential future use -

I Want to Purchase something from an app, and I can't do so unless I answer the security questions. I have forgotten my security questions. I cannot change them in the apple website either. Unless I answer my original security questions. What do I do ?
You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed, filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

i have forgotten my security question answers and my recovery emails aren't coming through. Apple won't or are unable to resolve so how do i now make purchases on the ipod touch?
Wont/Unable as in you were not able to verify information?
Basicly the only way Account Security is not able to reset your security questions is because
1 - You do not remember your password
2 - You were unable to verify any information which is required
If you do not remember your password - until your password is either remembered or reset - will not be able to reset questions via Support
If you know your password - then if you are unable to verify any information regarding your account your questions will not be reset.
I apologize - If the information above is not the case try calling back in. -
