Why do you have these obscure security questions
why are these security questions asked before one can get into their own ipad2:
1. FAVORITE Make of a car
2. Where were you on 2000?
3. Favorite childhood name?
These are three questions that are very hard to remember, especially when they don't work half of the time when you actually try to answer them.
Can't you make the security questions your "own" questions, instead of going to a apple support document to where they are posted as part of the whole security process? The answers to these security questions arent the answers I tried or would remember anyway.
Then you get locked out of the whole password process for a day before you can get in to ask you the same questions all over again? Dumb.Really dumb!!!!
i have tried, what i thought was answering my security questions (according to itunes security questions) and filled the answers as best as i could, but now i can't even get past my birthdate either. I know what my birthdate is, but apparently it doesnt recognize me there either. i dont know what i can do to help me get past my birthdate and on to normal security questions. i have tried to answer these questions and after two or three times, have now been locked out again, for another 8 hours! !!!!
This is very unacceptable to me. Is there anyone out there that has had this same problem and has figured out what to do to get around this 8 hour denial time limit and on to logging onto my own ipad2.

I don't understand this. Why can't you send an email to reset the questions or give you the answers?

Why do you have to use security questions for purchasing stuff from itunes
please make all apple products not use security questions to purchase stuff in the itunes store
If you mean that you've forgotten the answers to your security questions, then if youhave a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then you can 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 see if this user tip helps : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551
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 -
How do you change your rescue email if you have forgotten your security questions?
I've had my IPad for about 2 years now and I have bought a lot of apps since but all of a sudden it asks me to answer my security questions whenever i try to buy an app! I click the link to the apple Id page and it says resend security information to my email. apparently the end of my email ends with yahoo.com and whenever I log on to that it's yahoo.ca and I cannot find the email with the instructions to change my security questions!! So please me as this has never occurred before! How do you change your rescue email if you have forgotten your security questions? And can you somehow purchase apps without answering your security questions because I just put 25 dollars onto my apple id and I don't want it to go to waste! Please help me!
You won't be able to change the rescue email address until you can answer 2 of your questions, 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 'Forgotten Apple ID security questions'
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 update your rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312 . Or you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570 -
Why do I have to answer security questions
Why do I have to answer security questions? I made this account like 3 years ago and i dont remember the answers
You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

If you have forgotten your security question how can you change them?
Have not had to use this option so I really have forgot all about setting this up till the other day.. But when this come up that I did have to use I found out I forgot what I had use.. Stupid me.. Any way I did get my password rest and thought changing this would be simple inside my account.. Wrong... Appears you have also know your old one to change it.. Now this is so stupid.. I don't want to have to pay for support to have apple to reset this option.. Does any one know if Apple has a Email support to help with issue like this.. I may never need this option again but really it was a pain to get around it.
Thanks EveryoneContact Apple, they can reset the security question infomation and you shouldn't need to pay for support on this. There is no troubleshooting your paying for, you're just having assistance for account security

Help please, anyone?
Hello Livi4321,
Thanks for the question. If you do not remember the answers to your security questions please refer to the following article:
Apple ID: All about Apple ID security questions
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5665
What should I do if I don't remember the answers to my Apple ID security questions?
Try answering them at least once to see if you can get them right, even if you are not sure you remember the answers to your security questions.
If you are confident you can't remember them, try one of the following:
If you have three security questions and a rescue email address
- sign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to send an email to your rescue email address to reset your security questions and answers.
If you have one security question and you know your Apple ID password
- sign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to reset your security question.
If you have one security question, but don't remember your Apple ID password
- contact Apple Support for assistance. Learn more about creating a temporary support PIN to help Apple confirm your identity when you contact Apple Support.
If you continue to have issues, please contact our Account Security Team as outlined in this article:

I want to get my grandson this app called tararria for 5 dollars with the gift card money please help me
It is to ensure the security of your account. So someone does not steal your money.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
-If you established a rescue email address, there will be a link on the "Passwords & Security" page of id.apple.com. Clicking the link will send the reset to your rescue email address (NOTE: This is not the same address as your Apple ID email)
-If there is no link on the page, then you didn't establish a rescue email address. Contact AppleCare at 800.694.7466 (If you are in the US), and ask for account security. You will need to answer some questions to verify your identity, AND you will need access to a computer to generate a temporary support pin.
