My daughters ipod keeps tellim me what it wants me to answer some security questions, and if I won't I can't download

We are trying to download some games on my daughters Ipod. Everytime I try this pops up "Security Info Required" To help ensure the security of your Apple ID we require the additional information."
Then it wants you to go through questions and pick your answers.
I don't feel comfortable doing this on hers. Can anyone tell me why they are making me??

Presumably to confirm that the person using the ID is the person who owns the ID, or at least is authorised by the owner of the ID.
I suppose it does depend on what the questions are. Here in the UK, my bank card has some security numbers on it in addition to the card number. To check that the user of the card actually has the card (and hasn't just noted down my account number), we are often asked to enter those security detail numbers on forms etc. So that wouldn't be a problem for me.
But if iTunes (for example) were to ask for the password to my email account, I would suspect a problem, because my passord to something they don't own, is none of their business.

We are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
If you aren't receiving the email to your rescue email account (and you've checked the spam folder on the account as well as the inbox, and tried clicking the reset link again) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple in your country to get the questions reset.

HT5312 I'm trying to buy a movie from iTunes to put on my laptop, but it won't let me if I don't answer my security questions, and I have no idea what they are. I've tried looking at iTunes Customer Support, but that doesn't help me at all either. Help pl

Can anyone help me? It would be very much appreciated. Thank you!

I assume that you don't have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account, as described in then steps 1 to 5 on the page that you posted from ? If not (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset you can then use those steps to add a rescue email address for potential future use

I'm trying to. It something on app world. And I just got a new iPhone and I'm using the same Apple ID and I put In the right answers for security questions and I KNOW they r right. What do I do?!?

Navigate the pages as follows:
Under "Contact Us" click the blue "Contact Support" link
Click the blue "Get Started" button
Click "More Products & Services"
Click "Apple ID"
Click "iTunes Store, App Store or Mac App Store"
Click "Forgotten Apple ID security questions"
Click "Continue"

I don't remember my security questions and i need to make a purchase with my ipad how can i get to my security questions and change them so that I can make purchases with my ipad

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.

HT5312 I need help! My Apple id Is blobked, i answer the security question And it blocked. What can i do?

I need help to un blocked my Apple id

You might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
You might then need to log out of your account on your iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on it.
For your security questions, the HT5312 page that you posted from has instructions for how to reset them i.e. if you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) on your account then steps 1 to 5 half-way down that page should give you a reset link.
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 Support in your country to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699 (you can also try this link if you can't get your account enabled via the above)
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 page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use

HT204053 I just got my new iPhone and I had a iPod that had about $40 on it and I can't remember the answer to my security questions and whenever I send the email it never comes. So I was wondering if there was any way that I could make a new apple I'd an

I just got my new iphone and I gave my phone the same apple ID as my iPod. Then I added $40 to my iTunes thinking that I could buy songs freely. When I went to go buy an album it said that I needed to answer some security questions to complete the purchase. So I clicked yes and it brought me to two questions that I totally forgot the answers to so I hit the link that said if you forgot your answers click here. I clicked it and it brought me to this website that you see all your information about your apple ID. So I went to privacy and security and the same two questions were there. I tried and didn't succeed. I even sent myself the email and I have been trying this for days on end and still never received any emails about those questions. So I thought what if I create a new apple ID then mabe I could transfer ONLY the money over, is this possible?? Because I would hate to see forty dollars go to total waste.

Funds cannot be transferred from one Apple ID account to another.
