Security question and customer support fail
I just recently got a new number and went from an iPhone 4 to an IPhone 5C and don't get me wrong I love the phone entirely but, I tried going to the iTunes Store to download music and it won't let me. I used the correct Apple ID and password but it insists I use my security questions. Which I no longer know the answers to. So I figured how hard can it be to fix this. A lot freaking harder than I thought. I went to customer support and it said it would call me and assist. It never did. I "scheduled a call" several times. I waited for hours looking at my phone waiting just to not receive one. All I freaking want is new music on my phone and apparently the only way I can do that is with the answers to these stupid security questions. Someone help!
Read this about how to change the security questions: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
If you can't use these procedures because you don't have a rescue email address you will have to contact Apple. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
You can also call your country number from http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 and ask to speak with Account Security.
You can also go to the ExpressLane at https://expresslane.apple.com and then iTunes > iTunes Store > Password and Security Questions and fill out the form.

I have no "Rescue email" contact in order to reset my security questions!! I've been trying now for 4 days to contact Apple/Itunes but I only get sent answers from a support team that say they cannot help me with my problem!!
The thing is that I can't ever remember answering any security questions and without a rescue email, I'm unable to reset them or even set them for the first time!!
I can't believe that no-one from Apple/Itunes can help me with this simple problem but unfortunately that is the case - Incredible, isn't it!!!
Would anyone know how I could solve this problem online??? Because each time I sign into Itunes, the same security questions reappear and reappear and reappear. In fact I've got to the point where I feel like uninstalling Itunes and downloading an alternative.
Many thanksYou need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed, filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

If I can't remember my security questions, and don't have a rescue email address, why can't I just add a rescue email to my apple ID account without having to contact iTunes Support?
I verify my identity just by logging in with my password, not being able to add a rescue email address without answering the security questions is just extra hastle and doesn't increase security. No one knows my password so how could they break into my account? I understand having security questions to change your password but not for adding an email address.

i am in Iraq right now and i cannot make any schedule for having a call with your support team , however, i forgot the answer for security questions , and also previously i have not summited a rescue Email address is there any way to reset my account?
Please be aware that you are not communicating with Apple when you post in these forums. These are user-to-user support forums, so in almost all cases the only people who will reply to your posts are, like me, your fellow users.
As to whether you can work with Apple via email on this issue I can't say for sure, but you can contact them via this web page:
http://www.apple.com/support/appleid/contact/
and see if they can help. It's mostly going to be an issue of you being able to prove to them that you are the account owner.
