Security question infinite loop.  How to break it?

My account rescue email address was set to an unauthorized address.  The unauthorized user reset the security questions. 
To change the security questions, you have to have the correct answers, OR the rescue address.
To change the rescue address, you have to have the security question answers.
There seems to be no way to fix this, and I've been trying for 20 minutes to find a phone number for account support, can't find it.

You might try contacting Apple through iTunes Store Support

    Another user had success doing the following:
    I got some help from an apple assistant on the phone. It is kind of round about way to get in.
    Here is what he said to do and it is working for me...
      a. on the device that is asking you for the security questions go to "settings", > "store" >
          tap the Apple ID and choose view"Apple ID" and sign in.
      b. Tap on payment information and add a credit/debit card of your preference then select
          "done", in the upper right corner
      c. 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.
      d. 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.
    It's working for me ...I just have to put in my 3 digit security pin from the credit card I am using.
    Good Luck friends!

    I've forgot security question and answer, how can I add rescue mail address and how can I reset my security question and answer?

    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.

  • HT201303 Ive forgotten my security questions info!  How do I restore my security questions info

    Ive forgotten my security questions info!  How do I restore my security questions info

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    You might try to see if you can change your security questions. Start here, change your country if necessary and go tomanage your account > Password and Security.
    I'm able to do this, others say they need to input answers to their current security questions in order to make changes, I'm inclined to think its worth a try, you don't have anything to lose.
    If that doesn't help you might try contacting Apple through Express Lane (select your country, navigate to iCloud help and enter the serial number of one of your devices)

  • How the **** do you reset the security questions? And how do you add a backed up library to a new computer?

    So I have a couple issues and I am extremely frustrated, I'm about to smash all of my apple products.
    First issue is how do you reset the security questions? Can't seem to find the "forgot answer" of anything like that.
    Second is my old comp crashed so I backed up my iTunes to an external HD, got the file on the new computer, installed iTunes, got alot of my old music from iCloud, but didn't get all my music so I went to add a folder like the support thing I found said, but there's only an add file option, do I have to add each song?
    Is there a way to get the songs from my iPhone to the iTunes library? It has all of my music on it as well
    Thanks
    Mike

    For the security questions......
    On your computer or safari on your iOS device navigate to:
              For Canada - https://appleid.apple.com/ca.
              For United States - https://appleid.apple.com/us/.
    Click the "Manage your Apple ID" button, and sign in to your iCloud account.  Once in, on the left side select "Password and Security", and this will populate our options on the right side.  You should see an option to reset your security questions. 
    Also see this article about your "rescue email address" - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312. 
    If for any reason you can not reset these security questions, or get an error, then you may need to contact Apple directly - http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57.   Explain the issue, and they can get your to a "Account Security" agent, who will be able to verify your identity, and assist in resetting the security questions.
    For iTunes....
    Is the music you are missing purchased from the iTunes store?  If so
    you can Download Past Purchases - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519.
