Why am I not receiving an e-mail to reset my security questions

I created my Apple ID years ago, but I can not remember the answers to my security questions. I have tried to reset it by email, but to no avail have I gotten that email. I check my inbox everyday. How do I reset the answers to my security questions?

Hello Farr1sable,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice concerning Apple ID issues:
Rescue email address and how to reset Apple ID security questions
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5312
Additional Information
The email address will not be marketed to as a result of designating it as a rescue email address. If you previously designated this email address to receive marketing, it will continue to do so.
If you decide not to provide a rescue email address, you can't reset your security questions and answers yourself later in the event you can't remember the answers to your questions. You'll need to contact iTunes Store supportto have your questions and answers reset.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
BobbyD

  • Why am I not receiving my AOL mail?

    Why am I not receiving my AOL mail? I receive it on my phone and on other computers but not my iMac.

    Go Mail - Preferences - Accounts and re-input all the settings for it even if they look OK. From time to time a setting can become corrupt, on the surface it looks fine but underneath it's not OK. If you re-input that will remove the old setting and input a new one and this frequently helps.

    Read this about how to change the security questions: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
    If you can't use these procedures because you don't have a rescue email address you will have to contact Apple. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699

    Please help

    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 or Apple to get them reset.
    e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then try Apple ID Account Security
    or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312

  • Why do I not receive iCloud e-mails when there is a specific group of "To:" addresses in the body of an e-mail

    I noticed this when I started my iCloud e-mail account a few months ago. I am not receiving iCloud e-mails when there is a specific group of "To:" addresses in the body of an e-mail. I can receive the e-mail on my outlook & local cable providor e-mail accounts with all of the addresses listed. If I strip out the "To:" addresses and send it from my local cable providor e-mail account to my iCloud e-mail account than I will receive the e-mail in my iCloud account (minus all of the "To:" addresses that are in the body of the e-mail. This has caused me to miss a lot of e-mails.
    Following is one of the e-mail that I can send from my cable providor account and not receive it in iCloud. If I strip out all of the "To:" addresses I will receive it in iCloud. I have a case open with Apple but it is not going anywhere. This occurs from multiple sending internet service providors (ISP's) so I think it's an Apple iCloud e-mail processing issue.

    I've been having a very similar problem to what ziemsen describes, for about a week now. The Mail app has stopped delivering new messages to the Inbox, even though I can view the newly incoming messages on the server via Webmail. I am able to send email through Mail with this email account, and as for the other email accounts that I have on Mail (which are also hosted by the same server), I am able to both receive and send email with no problem.
    None of the mail settings have been changed, so how this happened all of a sudden is very puzzling. I have checked Account Info on the problem account - Mail recognizes that there are messages that are on the server yet to be downloaded, but it won't download them.
    I've checked what other users have suggested here in the Discussions Forum, and tried: 1) deleting the problem Mail account from Mail and re-adding it; 2) creating a new machine User account and setting up Mail with that User; 3) setting up Mail on another machine; 4) archiving and re-installing OS, and even 5) wiping the HD entirely and reinstalling the OS. None of these have worked.
    Ernie, your suggestion of deleting the MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded file sounded like the solution to the problem, so I just tried it - but to no avail. Mail delivers messages that are on the server to my Inbox up until the same point that it always stops at, and there are almost 1000 new messages since then.
    I am pretty lost at this point - I have no idea what else I can possibly do to resolve this problem. The strange thing is, when I tested my email accounts on Microsoft Entourage and Mozilla Thunderbird, they don't have this problem - both deliver all of my incoming mail. I may have no choice but to switch to one or the other at this point, but I'm attached to Mail and would really like to continue using it if I can. Any advice would be much much appreciated.
    very best,

  • HT5312 Is it just me or does this not actually tell you how to reset our security questions

    After you have setup a rescue e-mail, how do you reset your security questions?

    It's as described on that page, you will get an option to send reset info to it. But it's more likely that you've added an alternate email address to your account, which is a different address/setting - to add a rescue email address you need to answer 2 of your security questions.
    See if the instructions on this user tip help you reset them : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551

  • Why can I not receive sympatico e-mails on both my non-apple lap top and my i-phone 5 and i-pad 3?

    I had a i-pad 3, non-apple desktop and laptop all receiving sympatico e-mails. When I purchased the iphone 5, I now cannot receive my sympatico e-mails on both the ipad and iphone at the same time. If I turn off one of these devices, the e-mails populate in the opposite device. Apple support had me turn off "Fetch New Data" from my e-mail account. My incoming server is pop.bellaliant.net and my out going server on my phone is mail.1xbell.ca and my ipad is smtpbellaliant.net
    Has anyone experienced a similar issue?
    Thanks for you help

  • HT5312 Why does my device not show me the option to reset my security questions

    My I pod 5 will not let me purchase anything without my security questions but I forgot them.  When looking to restore them I was not given the option to reset my questions.  What do I do???....

    1. Because you haven't previously set up a rescue email address. Doing so now requires correctly answering two of the questions.
    2. Go back to the article you asked this question from and use the link to contact the iTunes Store staff in the 'Additional Information' section. If you don't already have a valid rescue email address, you can't reset the questions yourself, and nobody on these boards can reset them for you.
