Why do I have security questions now, when I didn't before?

Upgraded my and my daughters iPhones... We are both on the same iTunes. Now neither of us can buy iTunes on either phone because its asking for security questions that I don't believe I've ever been asked before or answered. Obviously I don't know the answer and am stuck and frustrated.

Why do I have security questions when I did not set it?

Now, I can not do anything/can not go inside my account without answering these questions . Any possible way to go around this?
Thanks;
Shyneil

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Start here (change country if necessary) and navigate to 'Password and Security', reset your security questions using the link provided, you will receive an email to your rescue address, use the link in the email and reset your security questions.
If that doesn't help, you don't receive a reset email or you don't have a rescue address, you should contact AppleCare who will initially try to assist you with a reset email or if unsuccessful will pass you to the security team to reset your security questions for you.
If you are in a region that doesn't have international telephone support try contacting Apple through iTunes Store Support.

Why does quicktime have a question mark when I open Safari - how do I fix?

Whenever I open Safari to any page with Quicktime I
get a Q with a questions mark through it.
I am about ready to hang myself.
Thanks,

Edgar123,
Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Sounds as if somehow your Mac has misplaced the /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/QuickTime Plugin.webplugin file. Try searching your hard drive to see if that plug-in is around in the wrong spot, or download and re-install the Quicktime installer from the Downloads link at the top of the Discussions page.

Hi ya'll! I'm still learning how to navigate my way with Lightroom. (Last time I wrote, I did get some responses that work. Thanks so much!) Now, I have another question. When I try to copy pics from my external drive to a CD/DVD, no matter if do it from LR or my drive, I keep getting the message; "Disk burning is not supported by LR on this computer." I've tried everything I can think of, so, I thought I'd see if anyone may know if there's anything I can do. Or could it be that my computer just can't handle it? Help!!! So frustrating!! I have a PC Lenovo computer, I don't know if this makes any difference. Any ideas? Thanks so much for your help!!!

Have you burned Discs with other programs using this computer? Are you certain that you have a drive that will burn discs?

It isn't an option it is a permanent part of the security protocol, so you need to write the answers down in a secure location or remember them, you will always need them in the future.
Call Apple Care for your country and ask for the Account Security Team, then request help resetting the questions.

You've checked the spam folder on your rescue email account as well as the inbox, and you've tried clicking the reset link a second time ? If you have, and you still haven't received the email, then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.

HT2534 iTunes is asking me to "improve Apple ID Security: to help ensure the security of my apple id choose 3 security questions and answers. I already have security questions and answers, and when I click continue, and type in my password, it does nothin

Please help! I've been trying to buy songs for hours today and it keeps asking the same thing. I don't get it. I have security questions. But, for some reason, I only have one question and verification on my birth date. Do I need to add more questions? If so, how?

Go to http://appleid.apple.com and select "Manage your account". Log in with your Apple ID and password, then select Password and Security from the left column.
You need to know the answers to your existing questions to reset them. If you don't remember your answers, there may be a link on that page where you can have a reset email send to your Rescue email address. This will not appear if you have not provided a Rescue email address, and may not appear even if you did.
If there does not seem to be any way to reset your security questions, contact iTunes Support here: http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ They will respond within a business day. Be sure to check your spam or junk mail folders for their response.

HT201363 I've changed my security questions, but when I try to make a purchase it still asks for my OLD questions ?

ive changed my security questions but when I try to make a purchase it still asks me to enter my old questions.. Why is that ?

The new questions show on your account on http://appleid.apple.com ? If they do then try logging out and back into your account on your phone (assuming that is where you are trying to purchase from) and see if the new questions then show on it.

I forgot all of the answers to my security questions and when I set up my apple id I did not add a rescue email, I recently got a new iphone and I cannot purchase anything on it because it asks me to answer my security questions which i can't reset, help!

I forgot all of the answers to my security questions and when I set up my apple id I did not add a rescue email, I recently got a new iphone and I cannot purchase anything on it because it asks me to answer my security questions which i can't reset because I do not have a rescue email. what do I do?

this does not help. I have forgotten ALL of the answers to my security questions. I can NOT reset the answers to my security questions without answering two of the three security questions. The other way to reset the answers to these questions is for apple to send me an email on my rescue email addres which I DO NOT HAVE.

Why do i have a question mark instead of the app picture. It wont let me use the app either.

Where is your Calculator application located? Before you can put it into the Dock you need to remove the Question Mark. Select it with the mouse and drag it out of the until it "poofs" away. Now locate Calculator and drag its icon into the Dock.

I forgot the answers to the security questions. When I get the screen with security questions to be answered, the email adress where the reset procedure is sent to is wrong. How do I change it?
