When I try to reset my security questions with email, the email doesn't send.

This has happened every time I have tried to reset them for the past year or so. I don't recall ever setting them so I don't know how they were answered in the first place.

yes - call apple account security and just tell them you need to reset your security questions - it will go like this - they need to get 2 things to match - credit card info, device info (serial number or a device code they send to a registered device, or just get one of the existing security questions right. That's one step - next step is teh temporary support PIN - since you can log into the account you can generate one OK - all this needs to be done over the phone with apple care account security unit. If successful, they will reset your account so you can pick new security questions and also edit the rescue e-mail addy - either delete it or put in one that works.
Best of luck - trust me I have been through this same situation

Why am I not recieveing the email, when i try to reset my security question answers?

Has anyone received an answer to this? It seems that a lot of us are having the same issue. In the past i had no trouble receiving emails to reset my password but for the past week I havne't been able to login, my security questions didn't work and I haven't received any of the emails to reset my password. I've created a new Account but would rather get into my old account because it's linked to my perfered email address. Hum..
Any help from the community would be much apprecated! thanks!

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

All apps, all paid and free apps include DRM protection which is tied to the iTunes account/Apple ID that was used to download the apps. You will need to use the Apple ID that was used to download the apps to install app updates.
Apps downloaded with one Apple ID can't be transferred to another ID and accounts can't be merged.

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.
The reset option will only appear if you have a rescue email address. Creating one requires supplying two of the answers.

How do i reset my security questions i forgot the answers to them?

How do i reset my security questions i forgot the answers to them?

Ok, same here, purchases cant be made, becouse as an addition to the password, apple wants your answer to security questions now... The problem with that questions is, the answers were never needed and now long forgotten!
A quicklink from Neil DOESNT solve nothing. As I first sign in to Apple, got My Apple ID, no RESCUE EMAIL was needed. With no such email I have NO CHANCE to reset this security questions.
If I reset my password, there in NO OPTION to reset this security questions as well.
So, I am strandend with some 30 bucks on my Apple acount and for now no way to spend it, thats OK, but some Apps want authentication for even updating, so I am stuck with no updates either... I purchased for about 500 bucks in last years from Apple, maybe thats it for me...
(Apple ***** more and more, maybe ut ist time to move to Android; a personal opinion).
A SOLUTION? Is there a way reseting your security questions with ONLY your Apple ID, the password for it nad a primary and alternate email; without a rescue email setup and no way to set it up???
Thx for your support, for long time I know now there is no help to be expected from Apple Service...

You've checked the spam folder on your rescue email acccount as well as the inbox, and tried clicking the reset link again ? If you still don't receive it then you will need to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
