Security questions iTunes
If you think this is truely security..really..it asks for two favorite consumer products and a city you romanticize, and wants your other email info. Thats data mining.
Mind you, does your employer want to know what "car" and "city" and "album" you made out to for net security? My favorite teacher as well?
These "security" questions appear to be data mining or vague personal info that anyone that graduated from high school with me would know. I contacted my State Attorny General. Answering any of them would actually put my account at risk.
I love my itunes. I guess my consumer loyality has done nothing. And I really have no other choice of practical products to replace it with. I have a question itunes..are we walking up to the edge of anti-trust laws?

You can give the iTunes folks direct feedback on the issue if you like. Here's a link to the iTunes product feedback form:

Hello Abe retrieve answers to security questions itunes account knowing I do not have an alternate email
You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

HT1689 security questions iTunes is asking me to login
I am trying to login to iTunes to purchase music. It is asking me to answer two security questions to enable me to login. I never remember providing answers for these questions in the first place. It is also saying that it is asking me this because this is the first time we purchased from this computer. That is not accurate.
Anyway, how do I reset those security questions or just get past that so I can purchase?
Thanks!
JimClick here for information. If you can't get the answers emailed to you for some reason, contact the iTunes Store staff via the link in that article.

Click here for information. If the option to have the answers emailed to you isn't available or doesn't work(the email may take a few hours to arrive), contact the iTunes Store staff via the link in the 'Additional Information' section of that article.
Nobody on these boards can reset them for you.

<Edited by Host>We are fellow users here on these 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).
If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) on your account then you can use that to reset them : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6170
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions) then you will have to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps on this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5620
Or, if it's available in your country, you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570 -
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 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.

I got a new iPhone and i am trying to buy songs but when I go to buy a song on iTunes it says I have to answer my security questions and I don't remember the answers. I pressed where it says for them to email you your answers but I haven't gotten an email. Is there another way to change or get the answers for the security questions?
If the email hasn't arrived after a few hours and isn't in a spam filter, 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.

How can I get Apple to send my iTunes security question answers to my new email?
Originally, I had my Apple account set up to a gmail account. But then, I deleted my gmail and connected my account to my hotmail instead. I'm going to lose this laptop soon for a new laptop swapout, and this is the only device that lets me use my iTunes account. I don't remember my security question answers, so I have them emailed to me via "Manage my account". However, I fear that the answers may be being wrongly sent to the gmail account I deleted. I need this question answers soon, otherwise I will lose hundreds of dollars previously put into my iTunes. Please help!

Hi! So I haven't used iTunes in a few months but I just got an iTunes gift card and want to make a purchase. iTunes redeemed it just fine but now that I want to make a purchase I am having problems. I can't remember my security question answers and iTunes is requesting them. I have two other verified emails but the are NOT rescue emails. I can't contact iTunes over the phone because my phone lines are out and are going to be out for a long time. The only way I can contact them is by email. How can I do this? Is there an easy way to just reset all my security questions? Please help a girl out. I just want my music!

I've changed my address on iTunes months ago, and I can see my updated address, but my old address is still on the record (when I get the receipt, it has my old address on it). I've also changed provinces, so I've had to pay HST instead of just GST.
