IF YOU DON'T KNOW YOUR SECURITY QUESTIONS, HOW ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO RESET THEM?

I registered with Apple 3 years ago. This year I bought a new HP Laptop and an iPad 3. I tried downloading something that I needed for school and it asked me for my security questions. I set these questions 3 years ago. There is no way to reset the questions without Apple sending you a riduculous email saying that the only way to reset the questions is to call Apple. When you call Apple, in order to talk to someone who actully knows what they are talking about, they say you have to pay $19.95. What am I supposed to do?

  • HT5312 why do you have to answer security questions to reset them, if you don't know your security questions how are you able to reset them?

    I don't understand this. Why can't you send an email to reset the questions or give you the answers?

    The Three Best Alternatives for Security Questions and Rescue Mail
        1. Use Apple's Express Lane.
              Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; click 'See all products and services' at the
              bottom of the page. In the next page click 'More Products and Services, then
              'Apple ID'. In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Forgotten Apple
              ID security questions' and click 'Continue'. Please be patient waiting for the return
              phone call. It will come in time depending on how heavily the servers are being hit.
         2.  Call Apple Support in your country: Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support or
              Apple ID- Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security. Ask to speak to
              Account Security.
         3.  Rescue email address and how to reset Apple ID security questions.

  • Don't know my security questions, how do I fix?

    When I try to download something from iTunes it asks me for my security but I do not remember them (I made my account on i messages on my iPod). When I try to get them to send the email to reset it does not arrive on my inbox (I have checked spam and all mail and deleted and everything for that matter). My email is a gmail account and it is correct on my iTunes account (get spam from them all the time). Please help!!

    You need to contact Apple. Click here, phone them, and ask for the Account Security team, or fill out and submit this form.

  • I forgot my security questions and i don't have a rescue email and in order to make a rescue email you need to know your security questions..... Is there anything I can do?

    Is there any way to set up a rescue email if you don't know your security questions?

    No. You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

    You can get your Security Questions reset by contacting iTunes Support at either of the two links below. Select the best options for your issue, or provide specific information. Let them know you are contacting them concerning Forgotten Security Questions. They will get back to you via your primary email address, usually within 24 hours. Once your Security Questions have been reset, you will be able to go in and reset your Rescue email address on your account:

  • I just created an iCloud email and I want to use that email for my iTunes account as well. I need help suiting the old apple I'd because I do not remember anything associated with that email and I don't know the security questions

    I just created an iCloud email and I want to use that email for my iTunes account as well. I need help switching the old apple ID because I do not remember anything associated with that email and I don't know the security questions or the login for that old email.

    You cannot do that.  The AppleID you used to create the iCloud account is an active primary email address.  The email address you created with the iCloud account is also an active primary email address (all Apple domain email address automatically become AppleIDs as well).  You cannot replace the primary email address on one active AppleID with the primary email address on another, active AppleID.
    You can use your iCloud email/AppleID with iTunes, but it will be a separate account, so all your previous purchases remain tied to the other AppleID you have.
    I don't understand your statement that you could not remeber your old AppleID password, as you would have had to use it to create the iCloud account in the first place (the first step of creating the iCloud account required you to login with your existing AppleID and password)?

  • I don't know my security questions...

    I don't know my security questions and I can't figure them out. I tried looking at different pages and I still cant figure out where the link is to send an email to reset the questions. How do I reset them?

    You won't be able to change the rescue email address until you can answer 2 of your questions, you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
