You won't be able to add a rescue email address until you can answer 2 of your questions, 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 you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use

Try changing the email address using https://appleid.apple.com/
If you can't change it with that site, you'll have to create a new account.

I have two ipods in my house that were set up under the same email. I have since assigned two different emails. How can I change the game center account so that is not shared by both ipods because it is for two different users and they are not happy?

By "game center account", do you mean Apple ID?
If so, you can change it.
1. Tap settings and navigate to iTunes and App Stores
2. Tap "Apple ID" and then tap "Sign Out"
3. Log in with a different ID.

My i-cloud has an old email address, how can i change it?

my i-cloud has an old email address, how can i change it? When I try to delete the account to set up a new one it keeps asking for the password that I dont have. What can I do?

If the old ID is yours, and if it is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Tap and hold on the Keyboard key at the bottom right side of the right portion of the keyboard. You can use the Dock and Merge option from the menu.
Alternatively you can drag the keyboard down and move slightly left, to get it to merge.

I was using a neighbor's wifi temporarily. Now that I have my permanent DSL connection, my wifi connects automatically to my neighbor's wifi. How can I change it to access my new DSL connection?

I was using a neighbor's wifi temporarily. Now that I have my own wifi, my Macbook continues to hook up with my neighbor's. How can I change it so that it automatically hooks up with my wifi? I have no problem with the connection. It is just a pain to continually change to my wifi.

You need to go into the Preferences for the your WiFi and remove your neighbors from the list or move it below yours so that it will connect to yours first. System Preferences (Accessed through the Apple in the Upper Left Hand Corner) > Network. Then click on WiFi in the list on the Left hand side of the window and then click on Advanced button in the lower right hand corner. You will then get the list of all the wireless networks that have been joined and in the order they were joined from oldest to newest. Find the one in the list and either drag it below your network, or click on it and then press the "-" button to remove it from the list totally and then from that point on it should start connecting to your WiFi first automatically.

Facetime is using my husband's cell phone number instead of mine. How can I change the number to mine in face time?

You need to set up the accounts in System Preferences/Accounts, then activate Fast User Switching.
That way you can quickly log in to your own account - then back to his.
You should obviously have different passwords.

I am trying to change my primary email for my apple id - when I change it the error reads, this is your rescue email. How do I change my rescue email so that I can then change my primary id ?

You will have to delete your rescue email address first, then go back and change your primary.

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.

My track pad stopped working with a single finger/double click when I try to open emails, and when I try to open apps on desk top. If I use two fingers, and then click open, I can open them. Thank You for your help.

Greetings ascnephew8,
It seems your trackpad isn't working as you expect it to. Have you reviewed the trackpad settings in System Preferences? The following article provides trackpad setting details which may help:
