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!

When I tried to download something from iTunes they asked me security questions and I don't remember them I tried lots do times but questions are always wrong is there anything I could do with this security questions so I can finally download songs from iTunes

If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up 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 address (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.

After updating to ios7, my apps won't update and I can't download anything from the App Store or iTunes Store.

After updating to ios 7, I have tried to update my apps and I can't. I press update and put my password in, the blue circle goes round, but in a few seconds, it stops and acts as if nothing happened in the first place.
Please help, as I can't play a game as it needs the new update!
Thank you.

This has been happening to a few people right after upgrading. Just wait and give it some time and you will get the updates. The other thing you may see for a while is that there are updates available, which in fact, have already updated previously. THose go away magically on their own.
If you're feeling impatient, you could try to sign out of the App store from your Apple ID then sign back in. Not sure that's really helping anyone, but it may.

I can't remember my security question answers and I can't purchase anything in the iTunes Store.

So I wanted to buy an app on my new iphone 5 right? Well, the store popped up, window was asking my password all the usual. Until it asked for the answers to my security questions. They were my first teacher, and my favorite teacher. Now because I made this account almost 6 years ago, I honestly cannot remember the answers to these questions! I cannot recall if I had put my actual FIRST teacher's name, or if it was the first teacher who pooped into my head. Ad my favorite teacher? Well that changes daily so who the heck knows what I had then. I just want apple to reset everything for me and let me choose new security questions. I did it for my sister's account, but it won't let me until I answer these darn questions. Someone please help!!

Reset Security Questions
     There are several different methods. Try one. If it doesn't work,
     then try the next one. Don't try to do everything at once.

2. Under Product Categories choose iTunes;

Another user had success doing the following:
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!

Apple ID security issues -
Account security issues almost always require you to speak directly to an
Apple representative to securely establish your identity as the account
holder. You can set it up so that Apple calls you, either immediately or at a
time convenient to you.
1. Go to www.apple.com/support
2. Choose Contact Support and click Contact Us
3. Choose Other Apple ID Topics and choose the appropriate topic for your
issue
4. Follow the onscreen instructions

<Email edited by Host>

We are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple - I've asked the hosts to remove your email addresses from your post (it's not a good idea to post personal info on any public forum).
The reset link will only show if you have a rescue email address on your account - an alternate email address is a different address/setting on an account, and it's not used for resetting security questions.
If you aren't getting the reset link then you don't have a rescue email address, and you won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions - you will have to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset.

When they've been reset 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

Cant buy anything off the app store and lost all my apps after update

Hello, im having a problem with my iphone 4, i couldnt buy anything off the App store so i decided it would fix my problem. i was wrong there it only caused more problems after the update. i lost all my apps and i still have the same problem with my app store.
I can open the app store but whenever i try to touch the (Free) button nothing happens, also when ever i go to the category section it shows me a bunch of random apps and i cant go back to pick a different category. please help!

I bet you still have your apps on your computer. Sync the apps onto your phone from there. If they arent on your computer, download them on.
