TS1389 i have purchased many songs on my computer, now it won't let me purchase without answering security questions, and i can't remember answers!
i have purchased many songs on my current computer, but when i went on itunes tonight, i had to answer security questions, of course i can't remember the damned answers! what do i need to do?
Click here for information. If you can't reset them through the method described in that article or by sending yourself a rescue email(the email may take a few hours to arrive), contact the iTunes Store staff via the link in the 'Additional Information' section.
It isn't possible to create a rescue email address without correctly answering two of the questions. Nobody on these boards can reset them for you.

HT5312: Rescue email address and how to reset Apple ID security questions

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.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

How can I buy a song but always asked the security questions and you don't remember them what should I do
Write down your security questions.......
Here is what you should do if you do not remember the answers to your Apple ID security questions:
Try answering them at least once to see if you can get them right, even if you are not sure you remember the answers to your security questions.
If you are confident you can't remember them, try one of the following:
If you have three security questions and a rescue email addresssign 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.
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.
Note: If you have forgotten your password and answer your security questions incorrectly too many times in a row, you will be unable to try to answer your security questions for a period of time. During that time you will not be able to reset your password and will not have access to your account.
Cheers,

I forgot to answer two security questions, and I can not make purchases in app store

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 should let you reset them : 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.
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 half-way down the HT5312 link above to add a rescue email address for potential future use -
I have itunes account and I'm trying to buy for itune store and asks me security questions which I can not remember and do not put a rescue optional email I should do?
Hello Jbamrah,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
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.
Best of luck,
Mario -

Okay so I have had apple for a while and I got a new apple ID not to long ago and then answered the security questions and it said that it was the first purchase with the apple ID and I have to answer them and now I don't remember the answers
From an older post by King_Penguin:
If you can't remember them then go to Express Lane and select 'iTunes' from the list of 'products' in the middle of the screen.
Then select 'iTunes Store', and on the next screen select 'Account Management'
Next choose 'iTunes Store Account Security' and fill in that you'd like your security questions/answers reset.
You should get an email reply within about 24 hours (and check your Spam folder as well as your Inbox) - but some recent posts are saying that Apple have temporarily suspended the reseting of security question/answers whilst account security processes are improved, so it may take longer. -
I need to download a song on my new iPhone but iTunes doesn't reconize this device cause I have never used my apple id on it so I have to type in my security questions and I forgot the password how do I reset them WITHOUT knowing the password
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Start here, and reset your password, you will receive an email with your new password, then go to manage your account > Password and Security and change your security questions.
If that doesn't help you might try contacting Apple through iTunes Store Support -
I gave you my rescue email address as I forgot my security questions and I am still awaiting a link to have you provide me with new security questions. I have only $12.36 cash credit in my account, but I would still like to be able to download songs. This is very, very frustrating.
You need to contact Apple to get the questions reset. Click here, phone them, and ask for the Account Security team, or fill out and submit this form.

TS1702 I forgot my security questions and I can't purchase anything off the app store
I was trying to purchase pages the app and it asked me for my password so I put it then it said enter your answers for the security questions I couldn't remember them. So now I can't purchase apps help!!!!???
Are you certain you already answered them in the past? Or is it asking you for the first time?
If it's the latter then simply answer the questions. Remember your answers.
If it's the former, and you don't remember your answers:
Go to https://appleid.apple.com
Click the blue "Manage Your Apple ID" button
Sign in with your Apple ID and password
Choose "Password and Security" from the left column
Choose "Reset your security information"
Confirm your identity by answering your existing security questions, if required (see below).
You may then choose new questions or change your existing answers. I recommend the option to create your own custom security question, since most of the other options are inane.
Important: On that page you may enter a "Rescue Email Address". That's important to have in the event you are unable to answer your existing questions in the future. If you forget the answers to your security questions, and without a "Rescue Email Address" your only recourse will be to contact iTunes Support via email. That will entail a couple of days of back-and-forth correspondence so that Apple can confirm you are really you.
Apple gets thousands of such emails every day so be patient.
If you haven't yet entered a "Rescue Email Address" do it now! -
Looking for help deleting an old icloud account the email address is no long valid I thought I changed this and deleted it previously but the iOS 7 update brought it back and won't let me delet any suggestions
If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for a previous owners Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. You must use the previous owner's password to get permission to use the device. If you cannot get the password your father put on the iPad you will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.
