New iPad prompted with "Security Questions" on App Store. Need Reset but can't Reset, actually ...

Just bought the new iPad. When trying to purchase from the App Store I get a message asking me to answer the "Security Questions" that follows, since it is the first time I am buying apps from the new device. Well, I forgot all my security answers. Then, when I go to the "manage your account" section on the "My Apple ID" page and select "Password and Security" (as explained in the Apple ID FAQ section at their support site), I am prompted with another "Please answer your security questions" check point before I can proceed. Well, like I said, I forgot all my security answers ... See, now I am caught in an endless loop and spent already 2 hours searching for a phone number or email support address at the Apple page, and could find none for that matter. I am stuck with 20 USD worth of credit in my Apple ID and cannot use it!!!
Thus, I would like to know how may I "RESET" my security questions so that I may continue using my Apple ID?
Kind regards to you all,
Thanks for the patience,

This should help you.......but I am with Ralph on this......How do you choose questions and answers only you should know and then not remember either?  Next time write the questions and answers down somewhere, then store them in a safe place for future reference.  I keep all my passwords and security questions/answers in a safe location in case of a situation like this:
Go to:
https://appleid.apple.com/
Click Manage My Account, and sign in.  Go to the Password and Security section. If you've forgotten your answers, there will be a link just under the security questions fields where you can have a reset email sent to your Rescue email address.  You had to give Apple a Rescue email address when you created your security questions and answers.  You should keep that handy as well.

  • My iPad 2 doesn't have the app store I have looked in everything, reset the home screen and the restrictions is off but I still can't find it.

    My iPad 2 doesn't have the app store I have looked in everything, reset the home screen and the restrictions is off but I still can't find it.

    If you got the iPad from your school, and the Installing Apps restriction is 'off' but greyed out (as you 've said here https://discussions.apple.com/message/16137325#16137325) so that the App Store app is hidden, then it's likely that your school has set the restriction - you will need to ask them to remove the restriction for you.

  • HT201363 hello,I have a problem with security questions.i don't remember the answer. can you help me please

    hello,I have a problem with security questions.i don't remember the answer,please help me. i don't know how to manage this

    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 have a new iPad Air and in using the App Store, it seems frozen with an app that I didn't want.   I cannot look at other apps in the store or anything.  How do I unfreeze it?  Something equivalent to Control Alt Delete with Window.

    I have an iPad Air just acquired yesterday.   The App Store seems to be frozen and I have on idea how to undo it.  It is as if i clicked on an app to download and it came up but it is frozen.  I cannot get rid of it or go to anything else in the App Store.   I tried downloading that app and opening it - didn't help.  Guess what I am looking for is the equivalent of Control +Alt+Delete in Windows.  Thanks.

    Double tap your home button and open apps will appear above as smaller screen shots.  With your finger swipe the open app upwards and it will fully close.
    The cntrl/alt/delete option on an iPad is a reboot and to do so, press and hold BOTH the power and home buttons at the SAME time for about 10 seconds until the Apple Logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPad will restart.

  • Has anyone else had new security questions from app store today?

    Unannounced, apparently random (my colleages havent had this), intrusive and a personal data security risk? I'm not downloading apps until I know for sure its legitimate.  Even then, I think its too much information, when its just apps.

    Did you check out the link that I posted above. Apparently this is now pretty easy to find discussions about it everywhere. Look at some of these.
    http://www.google.com/search?q=app%20store%20security%20questions%20popping%20up %20today
    Based on the sources, as well as the volume, I'd say it's legit. Haven't seen myself yet, but I have difficulty getting to the app store at work due to network security policies.

  • Forced Apple ID security questions for App store - why?

    So why now when I login to go through to the App Store I am faced with a forced "ENTER ADDITIONAL SECURITY QUESTIONS NOW in case my apple ID becomes insecure and needs to be restored" with NO option to OPT OUT of the update.
    It would suggest that Apple has experienced issues and cannot keep my ID secure then !!!!! ????
    So IMPOSED forced updates are the way to go? Well I can tell you now, I will NOT be giving any additonal information as you already have enough of mine to restore this account and since I cannot get past this situation of forced information I can no longer purchase any apps from your store.
    Did you think about how many users that will effect when you imposed the worldwide update?
    Apple, are you getting it yet?
    Stop trying to p*ss your global users off with non opt out forced updates.
    You already keep changeing your App store terms every 2 minutes which I am forced to accept and am totally fed up with doing. Thats called NAG, NAG, NAG, NAG annoying isnt it?
    Let see if your brave enough to post this message and how many complaints have you already had?
    Yours sincerely
    A totally fed up customer, I am off to android where I will not be pestered every 2 minutes.

    In response to:
    If you cannot remember the actual answer to any of these questions then perhaps you are not who you say you are. Most folks easily remember their first teacher, the first car purchase, where their parents met and what they did to celebrate the new millennium.
    The problem is that it's not possible to remember the answers to questions which are not relevant. 
    The choice of questions is extremely limited.  There is no obvious way (or any way at all?) to set our own questions.  Worse, I do have my own personal question set up for My Apple ID under "Password and Security" when I login via the web interface, but there apparently is no way to use these security questions from my iPhone. Not to mention rolling out a change like this with no warning to users. It affects everything realted to App Store from iOS devices and there's no way around it.
    This is an EPIC FAIL by Apple and I disagree with anyone who attempts to defend Apple's decision regarding this. Apple needs to fix this ASAP.

  • How do you reset your security question on App Store ?

    I Have been trying to buy things on my Apple Store on my phone because I have $15.00 on the account but when I try to buy thing it asks for the security questions but I don't rememover the answers to them how do I reset my security questions with that $15.00 still on my account?

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

  • Why my new ipad mini does not have an app store icon?

    I received a new ipad mini as a gift. It came in the original state, unopen, unused, seal intact. After doing the necessary set-up, I found that both the App Store and iTune icons were missing from the home page. I am therefore unable to purchase new apps. Any one facing such problem before? Any advice? Thanks.

    Yup, too many children were making purchases and doing things they were supposed to do. So engineering thought this would solve it

  • New iPad Air won't go to app store, even though it's verified via email

    I just got an iPad Air today, and I created an apple ID, and verified it through my email, but every time I go to the app store or messaging on the iPad, it says my account is not verified. I've verified the account several times through my email. Any suggestions?

  • Can only access App store from home, but can get on internet anywhere

    I have a wifi-only iPad. I have no trouble accessing the internet anywhere that there is wifi available. However, I can never access the app store, and can never update such apps as USA Today, the New York Times, and the Kindle App unless I am in my house. How can I fix this?

    The reason for that can be a bad WiFi connection, so the answer from the server is not coming quick enough (check the signal bars on your iPad) or the other reason could be that at this router certain ports are blocked.
    Maybe go to a public WiFi with a good signal (usually a restaurant or coffee-shop)
