Security question
I don't have a security question and each time I try to make purchase the security question comes up. Please I need a way out of this issue as soon as possible thank you.

We are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple - I've asked the hosts to remove your email address from your post (it's not a good idea to post personal info on any public forum).
From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5665 :
If you have three security questions and a rescue email address
sign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to send an email to your rescue email address to reset your security questions and answers (the steps half-way down that page should give you a reset link)
If you have one security question and you know your Apple ID passwordsign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to reset your security question.
If you have one security question, but don't remember your Apple ID passwordcontact Apple Support for assistance. Learn more about creating a temporary support PIN to help Apple confirm your identity when you contact Apple Support.
If you can’t reset them via the above instructions (you won't be able to add a rescue email address until you can answer your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple in your country to get the questions reset.

When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312

My iPad wont let me download apps bc security questions, but when I try to make them it freezes
Every time I try to download an app it tells me I need to update my security questions, but once I click to make the questions the box goes white. So I'm not sure how to fix it
The new questions show on your account on http://appleid.apple.com ? If they do then try logging out and back into your account on your phone (assuming that is where you are trying to purchase from) and see if the new questions then show on it.

For some reason, an old iD is stuck on my phone. My iPhone 4s is nearly filled with documents and data, to the point where I cannot take pictures, and I can't reset it without using this old iD. I don't know why this is now popping up instead of the one I am registered with. I gained access to the old email the iD is under, but none of the iTunes emails are coming in so I assume it is set up under a different email. For the security question of birthdays, I tried every household member's birthday, and none worked. I have tried the password we used on that account when it was active, along with every other possiblility. I don't know what to do anymore and I have very limited use of my phone if I don't get this sorted out and deleted from my phone.
Thank you for any help!Not without password.

My old email account is disabled and I can't remember my itunes password - how can I reset my password or move $ to a new itunes/email account? It seems I must have mis-typed my account information because I can't answer the security questions correctly...

I set up an email account with " @me.com". I get a wrong password message when I try to log in. When I try to change my password I get an INcorrect answer message to the security question I'm asked my birth date so I know I have it right, unless I did a typo when I set up the account. When I choose email me the reset password lnk I cannot retrieve the email because it won't accept the password. I wanted to justemail Apple for instructions but cannot find an email address for that. Any help would be appreciated.
I tried that without any luck. I was hoping I could get Apple to reset it for me or delete the account so I could recreate it or at least tell me what is listed as my birth date, the security question answer.

If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then the steps half-way down this page give you a reset link on your account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
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.

Please help!! I can't remember any of the answers to my security questions (I made them approximately four years ago and don't know what I was thinking).
How can I change my questions without answering my security questions that I don't know?!??You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, or clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed in either article, filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

I've forgot my answers for security questions. Can't you reset them or do something like this?
I have bought a new iphone 5s a week ago. Today I wanted to purchase an app. And the security system asked me for an answer for my security questions. But I don't remember them. What should I do?

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.

When downloading apps I am asked for my apple ID which works but I can't get past the security questions. Then when I ask to reset the questions it sends an email to a rescue email address that no longer exists. Does anybody know where I can reset this email address?
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 - 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 at 1 800 692 7753. 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. -
My rescue email is a deleted email and i have no idea what the answers are to my security questions… what do I do? How do I change the rescue email?
You will need to contact Apple support. You can use the link in the quote below from If you forgot the answers to your Apple ID security questions - Apple Support
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. -
I forgot my security question. how can i change it?
im trying to buy an app on my iphone and its asking me my security question but i forgot them and now its saying im apple ID is locked and unable to purchase
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
-If you established a rescue email address, there will be a link on the "Passwords & Security" page of id.apple.com. Clicking the link will send the reset to your rescue email address (NOTE: This is not the same address as your Apple ID email)
-If there is no link on the page, then you didn't establish a rescue email address. Contact AppleCare at 800.694.7466 (If you are in the US), and ask for account security. You will need to answer some questions to verify your identity, AND you will need access to a computer to generate a temporary support pin.

HT5312 How do I use my rescue email to reset my security questions?
Ever since I got a new phone in December I haven't been able to make purchases on the App Store (free stuff I can get of course). Whenever I go to buy something it asks for the answers to my security questions. And for some reason all the answers I can think of are being declined.
I checked apple support and it said I can use my rescue email to reset the questions, but when I clicked on the link all it did was tell me why having a rescue email was so important.
