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.

I tried to find the reset security questions button on manage apple id but couldn't find it. Please help me reset my security questions?
The reset link, as described in steps 1 to 5 on this page, will only show if you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account. If you don't have one then go to (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you won't get the reset option - you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple 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 -
Dear Apple Support Team
I've purchased a new iPhone 5s and put my Apple ID on it for apps purchasing. But it required me to enter the answers for the security questions, however, I totally forgot the answers and tried many times with wrong answers. I tried to reset the security answers by sending to my alternative email but didn't receive any, even not showing in my Junk mails. Please send me the reset security answers email as i have $ 78 that can't be used. Nevertheless, I'm ready to answer and queries to guarantee that I'm the owner of the Apple account.
Your cooperation will be highly appreciated,
Essa Alkuwari
<Email 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).
If you aren't receiving the reset email to your rescue email address (an alternate email address is a different address/setting on your account) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.

HT201485 There is no reset security question button?
I have a new ipad and want to purchase an item but I forgot the security questions. I went on the guide and it said there is a reset button on the password and security. The questions are there but there is no reset button. I am using an iPad Air 2.
If you aren't getting the reset link then you don't have a rescue email address on your account, you will have to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : Contact Apple for help with Apple ID account security
If your country isn't on that page then try this form and explain and see what they reply with : https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
When they've been reset you can add a rescue email address for potential future use : Manage your Apple ID primary, rescue, alternate, and notification email addresses
Or if it's available in your country you could change to 2-step verification : Frequently asked questions about two-step verification for Apple ID -

HT201363 "Incorrect" instruction re: resetting Security Questions?
Just called Apple Technical Support phone line and it seems that the instruction for subheading "If you have one security question and you know your Apple ID password" under "What should I do if I don't remember the answers to my Apple ID security questions?" on page http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5665 is incorrect. The instruction "sign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to reset your security question." seems to imply that the user should be able to reset his/her security questions if he/she remembers the correct answer to one of his/her security questions and has his/her password, but there is no link on the given page to reset your security questions, and the Apple representative with whom I just spoke said that a phone call is necessary in such a scenario.
Hello Adepage
The only way that it is done is through the web browser and you would also need to have a rescue email address setup to send the reset security questions email. If you do not have access to that then you would need to contact the iTunes Store.
Rescue email address and how to reset Apple ID security questions
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5312
You can edit or delete your rescue email address at My Apple ID. To edit your rescue email address:
Navigate to My Apple ID using your web browser.
Click "Manage your account"
When prompted, sign in using your Apple ID and password.
Click Password & Security
You'll be asked to answer 2 of your 3 security questions before you can make any modifications. If you are unable to remember your answers, you can choose to send an email to your rescue email to reset your security questions.
Note: The option to send an email to reset your security questions and answers will not be available if a rescue email address is not provided. You will need to contact iTunes Store support in order to do so.

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

I recently upgraded my device and can't make purchases because I forgot the answers to the apple security questions. How can I reset these?
Thank youIf you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.

i cant remember the answers to my security questions. i have reset my password and added the recovery email account but still cant figure out how to purchase new content. it asks me the same security questions. i also have a temp pin. how do i fix this?
If you've just added an address to your account then it will be an alternate/secondary email address, a rescue email address can only be added by answering 2 of your security questions. If you already had one on your account then go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you should see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email addressthen you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
