TS3297 I DON'T REMEMBER THE ANSWERS TO MY SECURITY QUESTION AND CAN'T DOWNLOAD A MOVIE FROM A NEW DEVICE
I don't remember the answers to my security questons and can't download movies or music on a new device. where can I get or change the security answers?
If you have a rescue 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 set up 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 Questions' or 'iTunes Store account security' (it appears to vary by country) 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).

<Email Edited By Host>If you changed your Apple ID from the old email address (that is showing up) to a new one, but just forgot to update it on your iPhone, try these steps.
1. Use your current Apple ID password
Trying using your current Apple ID password. If that doesn't work, continue to the next step.
2. Sign out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime
If you are currently signed in to iMessage or FaceTime
Sign out of iMessage or FaceTime:
iMessage: Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive, tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
FaceTime: Go to Settings > FaceTime, tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
Sign back in to iMessage or FaceTime:
iMessage: Go to Settings > Messages, then tap "Use your Apple ID for iMessage".
FaceTime: Go to Settings > FaceTime, then tap "Use your Apple ID for FaceTime".
You should now be able to sign out of iCloud. You will still see your previous Apple ID when signing out.
If you are not signed in to iMessage or FaceTime
Sign in to iMessage or FaceTime:
iMessage: Go to Settings > Messages, then tap "Use your Apple ID for iMessage".
FaceTime: Go to Settings > FaceTime, then tap "Use your Apple ID for FaceTime".
You should now be able to sign out of iCloud. You will still see your previous Apple ID when signing out.
3. Change your Apple ID temporarily
If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't work, try these steps:
Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
Tap Settings > iCloud and try to sign out.
Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
Tap Settings > iCloud and sign in with the new Apple ID. -
hi, I don't remember the answers for my security questions and I don't have "send an email to your rescue email address to reset your security questions and answers" when I select "Password and security" on my apple ID. What should I do?
Hi Roy,
Contact iTunes support:

Select your country, complete the prompts.
Or you can contact them by email:

They usually will get back to you via your regular email within 24 hours.

I don't rember the answers to my security question, how can I change or get them?
I don't remember the answers to my security questions, how can I find or change them?
https://appleid.apple.com/
Manage your account, Log in... You can change the answers as long as your know your password. If you encounter a problem(some people have) with changing your answers, then contact apple support for them to reset them. Sometimes it will ask you for an answer before allowing you to change them, others have reported not getting the email sent if it asks you for an email. With me I could just change them. So check it out. -

Hi I can't remember the answer to my security questions and I don't think I set up a rescue email adders when opening my account can you please tell me how I can gain access to my account
Didn't the link to contact the iTunes Store staff in the 'Additional Information' section of that article work for you? If you don't already have a valid rescue email address, only Apple itself can reset the questions.
