Is it possible to add a rescue email AFTER creating an account on iTunes?

I've got an issue with this fu... with the App Store - can't download any paid app just because these "security questions", that I have forgotten! I know 'bout the "rescue email", and I want to add it now, after creating the iTunes account.

If you know the answers to your security questions then steps 1 to 5 half-way down the page that you posted from will take you to a screen where you can add one.
If you don't know their answers then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.

When they've been reset you can then use those steps to add a rescue email address for potential future use

  • HT5312 how to add a rescue email after you have already made an apple id?

    How do you add a rescue email to your apple id if you already have a apple id made?

    If you know the answers to your security questions then steps 1 to 5 on the page that you posted from should let you add one : go 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 answer the 2 questions and you can add one.
    If you can't remember the answers then you will need to contact iTunes Support or Apple to get the questions reset.
    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 those steps to add a rescue email address for potential future use, or you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570

  • HT5312 How do I add a rescue email to an existing account?!

    I never set up security questions with my account and now it keeps asking for answers. When I try to reset these questions it tells me I need a rescue address. How do I set up a rescue email address on an existing account?!

    You cannot and need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Start here, and reset your security questions, you will receive an email to your rescue address, use the link in the email and reset your security questions.
    If that doesn't help or you don't have a rescue address, you might try contacting Apple through iTunes Store Support

    You can't add one without being able to answer 2 of your questions, so you will need to get them reset first - see if the instructions on this user tip helps : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551
    When you've got them reset you can then add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312

  • I forgot all of the answers to my security questions and when I set up my apple id I did not add a rescue email, I recently got a new iphone and I cannot purchase anything on it because it asks me to answer my security questions which i can't reset, help!

    I forgot all of the answers to my security questions and when I set up my apple id I did not add a rescue email, I recently got a new iphone and I cannot purchase anything on it because it asks me to answer my security questions which i can't reset because I do not have a rescue email. what do I do?

    this does not help. I have forgotten ALL of the answers to my security questions. I can NOT reset the answers to my security questions without answering two of the three security questions. The other way to reset the answers to these questions is for apple to send me an email on my rescue email addres which I DO NOT HAVE.

  • HT5312 How can I add a rescue email address

    How do I add a rescue email address. Have been in passwords and security but not getting the
    option to add a rescue email,

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You need to answer your security questions to add a rescue address, if you don't know these.
    If you don't know these 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.
