Need help reseting/changing security questions

I can't reset my security questions. I made my Apple ID in 2011 or 2012 and have a rescue address and everything else, but most the Info I used was fake except the emails. When I go to Password and Security, there is no reset/rescue button/link. So I basically wasted $150 when I could of got a Google Play card instead like I usually do. I've never had to use security questions from apple until I redeemed the card and then tried to buy something a few days later. Doing over the phone won't work because the info is fake anyways so please don't tell me about the phone method. On top of this, I can't create a new account then transfer my funds over.
Question for apple (although they won't see this anyways) : Why is it so easy to change/reset passwords, but not Security Questions? If anything, it should be the password thats hard to reset/change. It makes no sense at all.

If you had a rescue email address on your account then you would get the reset link in the Password & Security section of it - if you aren't getting the link then you probably only have alternate email addresses on it. You won't be able to add a rescue email address until you can answer your questions.
Without the rescue email address you will need to contact Support if you want them resetting. Have you tried contacting them to see if you can prove your id and that it's your account ?

The answers to your questions should only be asked for on the first purchase from a new device/computer, so they can only be reset via a rescue email address or by contacting Support to try and make it harder for somebody to purchase content on your account from their own devices/computers if they get your account's id and password.

  • HT5312 I need help resetting my security questions so I can shop from the apple store.

    I can't answer the security questions because I never set them up. I need to download n buy a game for my daughter.

    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.

    I forgot the answer
    And I need to know the answer or change the answer
    Thank you
    And the best that you send to my  Emil  or put  link

    If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then you can try going 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 you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    If you don't have a rescue email address then see if the instructions on this user tip helps : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551

  • My old Apple ID is still showing when i need to reset my security questions. And i am not able to buy on music on iTunes. someone help?!

    My old Apple ID is still showing when i need to reset my security questions. And i am not able to buy music on iTunes. someone help?!

    All apps, all paid and free apps include DRM protection which is tied to the iTunes account/Apple ID that was used to download the apps. You will need to use the Apple ID that was used to download the apps to install app updates.
    Apps downloaded with one Apple ID can't be transferred to another ID and accounts can't be merged.

  • HT5621 I've changed my Apple ID email to my current email, but now I need to reset my security questions but I don't use my email I originally set up my account wit?

    I deleted my email that I originally signed up with and I recently added my current email, I also need to reset my security questions but I can't because it's stuck on my old email.

    Sign out and back into your apple id from Settings>iTunes and App stores>(Your apple ID)>Sign Out and then sign in again with the new address. Close app store from running in the background (or restart the phone if your unsure how to do this). If when trying to update any apps they are still asking for the old apple ID, delete and re-install those apps.

  • HT1920 I need to reset my security questions because my kids set it up and we have no clue what the answers are.

    I need help resetting my security questions

    Usually you will need to contact iTunes store support but this workaround may help:
    -On the device/computer that is asking you for the security questions go to "settings", > "store" > tap the Apple ID and choose view"Apple ID" and sign in.
    - Tap on payment information and add a credit/debit card of your preference then select "done", in the upper right corner
    - Sign out and back into iTunes on the device by going to "settings"> "store" > tap the Apple ID and choose "sign-out" > Tap "sign -in" > "use existing Apple ID" and you should be asked to verify your security code for the credit/debit card and NOT the security questions.
    - At this time you can remove the card by going back in to edit the payment info and selecting "none" as the card type then saving the changes by selecting "done". You should now be able to use your iTunes store credit without answering the security questions.
