  • I forgot my security question answers, but the email address they send help to is wrong.  How can I change the recovery email address?

    I forgot the answers to my security questions.  When I go to the link for help remembering my security questions it sends the email to an email address that is not mine.  And I don't know how to make it send to one of the two correct email addresses I have entered.  Any suggestions?

    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.

    If the email hasn't arrived after a few hours and isn't in a spam filter, 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.

  • HT201363 Can't remember security question answers and the email I use as Apple Id is no longer active, so I can't get a rescue email/ or verification, what do I do!!!??

    Can't remember answers to security questions and email for apple Id is no longer active, what do I do? Yes I have rang apple and they say I have to answer questions!!!

    What number did you ring ? You won't be able to update your rescue email address until you can answer 2 of your questions. You should be able to get them reset either by contacting iTunes Support or calling Apple.
    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 update your rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312

  • How do I change my recovery email with the security question answers as the email address is no longer active

    I got an iPod touch 4 years ago for Christmas. The recovery email and security questions are linked to an email account which is no longer in use. I recently bought an iPad and cannot purchase anything from the App Store as I don't know the answer to the security questions and the email is inactive. Help?

  • I have an IPhone 4,with IOS 4.2.6. I just got an iPad which has an IOS 5.1.1. I want to update my IOS on the phone but the computer I use no longer has Internet access. How can I update my phone? Also, what iTunes version should I have for the updated IOS

    I have an iPhone 4 with IOS 4.2.6. I recently received an iPad with IOS5.1.1. I want to update my IOS on my phone but the computer I use is no longer hooked up to the Internet. What do I need to do? Also, does my iTunes need to be updated? It is whatever was available last July. Thank you for your time and courtesy!

    To update your phone requires using the latest version of iTunes, on your computer, as well as Internet access. The update to iOS 5.0 or higher is an erase/restore deal, so you not only have to make sure all of the content, currently on your phone, is on your computer and accessible, you need to update iTunes first, have Internet access, then update your phone. There is no way around this fact. You could go to an Apple store or use another computer, but you run the risk of losing all of your data it you do that.
