Trouble selecting security questions for iOS app store

We bought my daughter an iPad mini for Christmas, and until today, were able to happily download apps from the iOS app store. But this morning, it prompted me to select three security questions before allowing a download. Which is fine, but it wouldn't provide any security questions to choose from. Steps to reproduce error:
Select an app to download/install
Receive prompt to select three security questions
Click OK
Receive prompt to enter apple ID password
Enter password
Receive dialog box requesting to select three security questions/answers, plus a rescue e-mail address
Click area to select first question
Receive a blank white box, which never fills in with anything
I'm baffled: nothing ever shows up in the box described in step 8), so I can never select a security question, so I can't continue the process of downloading apps. I've tried this several times over the course of the day today, and I'm getting nowhere. Any thoughts?

Ok, problem solved. It turns out that rebooting the iPad caused this to start working correctly. So I recommend a restart if anyone has this problem.

    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!

  • HT201303 I need to change my security questions in the app store

    I need to change my security questions in the app store

    Wow you've had this problem since August and no one has helped you? Have you found any answers to your problem .

  • I am prompted to pick 3 security questions in the App Store, however when I click the 'question' to select my question, all that appears is a white screen, why? It is preventing me from downloading any apps on my iPad

    The three security questions won't load for me to fill out so I am unable to download any apps. Why are they not loading?

    turn your ipad off by holding the sleep wake button for 5 seconds and slide to turn off then turn it back on and the apps should be finished and if the apps didnt finish just redownload them

  • Question about exporting for iOS/App Store

    I tried to follow all the instructions (http://developer.apple.com/ios/manage/distribution/index.action) properly but they were written for XCode and not Adobe. I have looked on Adobe's site but I can't find any information or documentation telling me what I'm doing wrong.
    I am using Flash CS 5.5 and AIR 2.7.
    In iTunes Connect under Provisioning -> Distribution I created a new Distribution Provisioning Profile. This I opened in AIR for iOS Settings -> Deployment -> Provisioning profile. Bundle IDs match.
    In iTunes Connect under Certificates -> Distribution I created a new Distribution Certificate. This I installed using Keychain Access.
    In Flash I continued using the same Developer Certificate (.p12 file) I had been using to test my app on my device.
    I downloaded and used Keychain to install the WWDR intermediate certificate.
    In Flash -> AIR for iOS Settings -> Deployment -> iOS deployment type I chose "Deployment - Apple App Store"
    I compiled the app and tried to upload using Application Loader. It gave me the following error:
    "Application failed codesign verification. The signature was invalid, or it was not signed with an Apple submission certificate."
    All my certificates are current and valid, and have been installed without duplicates.
    Any ideas? I'm not sure what else I'm supposed to do or where else to turn for answers.
    Thanks!

    Is that the developer_identity.cer file created in iTunes Connect -> Provisioning -> Distribution?
    I created one and installed it in Keychain by double clicking on it in Finder.
    It shows up in Keychain -> Login under "iPhone Distribution: My  Name" and I can expand it to reveal a private key with my name  underneath it.
    Is that right?

  • How can i reset my security questions in the app store?

    Im having trouble getting a app on my new mac pro and I cant remember my security answers. Is there anyway to retrieve them or reset them?

    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.

  • Best way to get refund for ios app store purchases

    Hi, I purchased a $19 app from the app store and then discovered it had faults, and others have confirmed this. I have sent many emails to the developers but they have not replied and people on forums have said they no longer care.
    Well they don't seem to mind continuing to take people's money. If your app has faults and your not going to fix it then you should remove it from the app store. It is that simple!
    In my previous post I was told Appple would not refund my money due to their terms of use that each app store sale was final!
    Well first of all they have refunded money for others who have made much smaller purchases, and secondly I strongly believe that Apple should refund money for apps which are faultly and no longer being maintained. Otherwise they should remove it if the developers aren't going to!
    I have reported a fault with this app using iTunes, but I still have not heard anything from Apple.
    I've heard from other people that the best way to get a refund is to keep fighting and contacting Apple, otherwise Apple will just ignore you :-(

    I'm missing more texts after the ED05 update than I was with ED04.  The problem is not fixed so I'd say the pdf file listing the benefits of doing this update is WRONG.  Is anyone from Verizon going to address this or is there going to be another 2 month wait for another failed upgrade? 
    I'd guess that in the scheme of Verizon, a small percentage of us have this piece of crap phone.  What I don't understand is why this company does not want it's customers to be happy and satisfied.  Ya think I'm going to refer people to Verizon anymore?  I USED to...
    i got a CLNR fascinate this week.its updated to ED05 but still not the 2.3 firmware.i am currently sitting in my bedroom.second floor of the house and only have 2 bars as far as signal goes.i've only had the replacement for 2 days so i'm not sure if i am missing calls or not.but it still eats thru the battery nice and quick.also since i went to the store I WILL NEVER  go back to the store i usually do again.the girl there
    A. talked down to me when i got upset about her not doing much to help.
    B. laughed at me when i questioned her on why my phone wasnt working right and why i kept getting a run around.
    C. after laughing at me walked away from me.
    if this phone i received isnt working right  i will get a swap for my phone seeing how verizon doesnt even offer the fascinate anymore.if i dont get a swap i plan on moving on to some other provider eventhough i've had verizon for over 10 years now.

  • HT2534 how do I change the answers to my security questions for my app account?

    I cannot remember the answers to my security questions. How do I reset them?

    I believe that Apple are in the process of automatically setting any questions that have not been previously set up by the account owner ... "At this time, the security questions which appear are pre-set by Apple and may not be able to be answered, due to them being automatically issued."
    The only way of resetting these is by enquiring (I used expresslane for itunes, i think the same link as above), they will email back (within 24 hours) and ask some questions and when you answer they will reset the security questions.  Check your spam folder as my responses were sent to Spam by google.

  • HT2534 i forgot my security answers for the app store

    hiw do you reset security questions?

    If 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.
    If you don't have a rescue email address then see if the instructions on this user tip helps : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551

  • Packaging for iOS app store takes 3 hours

    I've seen a lot of complaints around the web (and on these forums) about how long it takes to package for iOS. However, these complaints are from people who lose patience and since the progress bar doesn't work they assume the packaging has somehow failed and the process is hanging. So the only help I've seen offered on this problem is that the person should read over the packaging documentation, ignore the progress bar, and be patient.
    What I'm hoping is that someone actually has tips regarding reducing this time. I know the process is taking compiled AS3 bytecode and transforming it into iOS assembler (which understandbly isn't a fast process), so reducing the footprint of my AS3 code should result in a faster package time. Are there any good articles on keeping your AS3 bytecode to a minimum? Does the size my native extensions also hurt me? Are there any common "gotchas" to look for?
