Newly reset security questions not working? How long until they become active?

Okay so, I contacted Apple Support, talked to the advisor, i was able to reset my security questions and add a rescue email and a message showed up saying (With a check mark) that my information hasb een changed. Great.
After, I then decided to go to the Password and Security page (just to make sure everything was working) and I tried to enter the questions (that i had JUST reset) and all three of them came out wrong.
So obviously I was confused but...due to my amount of re entering, I got locked out.
My question, is that is there a time limit to how long after the questions are reset and until they become active?

Anyone?

mln2603,
Great question, it's important to have an idea when you can get the phone. Currently, the launch date annouced is September 19th, 2014. The stores will receive phones on that day as released and they will sell on the same bases, first come first serve.

Authorisation of an old account on a new mac, Password not working, no longer have access to that email address, and security question not working. But I do have my mac authorised! ...is there anyway to copy or get authorisation info off it???

Please help me!!!!
I have got a new Mac, I am trying to share my itues on it as well as my old mac, I have had two itunes accounts in my life, one is current now (this account) one I have not had access to the email for years. Since I have bought music off both accounts, I wish to play it all on both my macs. My Old mac has both accounts Authorised fine and all is good.
My new Mac, I have thios account running fine, but keep getting prompted for the password for my old account, I have no idea what my old password is, I have not had access to that email address for 5 years, and for some strange reason the security question isn't working eaither.
Since I do still have one Mac where it is Authorised, Is there any file I can copy accross or anyway to get the password out of the OSX 10.6.8 for my old account.
Secondly, is there anyway to roll both accounts into just my current one.
Many Thanks in advance for your help.
Steve

I too am having this same problem but I have not seen ANY solutions for it. Looks like Apple is ignoring it!!!!!!!!?

Security questions not working- unable to set up rescue email and reset questions

I have been trying to buy things off of the app store for a few months now. Every time I am asked to answer my security questions, I will asnwer them (I know they are correct answers), but it keeps telling me they are wrong and then I get locked out of my account. I've tried looking up how to reset them, but when I go to do it, I dont have the option to reset, or even have a rescue email. I dont even recall having the option to set up a rescue email in the first place. On top of all this, apple's support is so inconvenient, I dont usually have the time to call. Has anyone else been having this problem?

If you don't have a rescue email address (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 - you might be able to set a time to call them when you're able to.

AppleID email wrong and security questions not working...

What can you do when you can't remember your applied password and when you click on iForgot Password it takes you to where you can choose between to have the password sent to your email, and you can't choose that..., or ask you security questilons. When the security questions come it starts with your birthday.
I think I know my birthday... And it isn't working. It comes back and says I have entered in an incorrect date.
What am I to do?
I wish it would ask me all of the other security questions because perhaps when I set it up my account the date was entered wrong.
Any ideas out there Apple Community?

The reset security questions button missing how to fix?

im trying to reset my questions but the reset by email button is missing

Use the link in the following quotation from https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201485
If you couldn't send a reset email, don't have a rescue email address, or can't access email at your rescue email address, contact Apple Support. Apple may ask you to generate a temporary support PIN to verify your identity. After you reset your security questions, you might want to update your rescue email address.

Reset password process not working-how do I startup from disc

My teenager has a Mac mini and I set up her computer with the original logon/password. She logged on/off for many months without problems & then went for a long period without shutting it down & when she finally did, the password I setup no longer worked (she's not saavy enough to have changed it herself & I'm obviously not saavy enough to fix it). We both remember the original password (caps aren't on) and it just won't work. I've searched the discussion boards and none of the solutions work for resetting the administrator password. I have the original install discs but can't get to the password reset window. I have tried inserting disc 1 & pressing 'C' upon startup & I have tried the 'command-option-O-F' combination also. The regualar password screen comes up each time.
Please help - my own computer has been taken over by my teen!!

Try holding down on the option key while restarting the computer.

HT4858 Loading photos from pc to photo stream...how long until they load?

I copied the downloaded photos from my camera to the hard drive and now I'm trying to upload them into the Photo Stream I created on my phone seing it through the PC iCloud Program. Is there another step to do or will they load eventually by themselves?

Photo stream supports Jpeg, png, Tiff and most Raw formats, so make sure your file format is one of these. Then, to add your photos to photo stream, do the following:
Open Windows explorer, select Photo Stream under Favorites on the left sidebar,:
Click on Photo Stream, then to the right double-click on My Photo Stream. Click on Add Photos on the top the menu bar:
Select the photos you want to import, then click Open.
