Why does my iPad tell me that the answers to my a security questions are wrong when I know they are correct

I am trying to use my new iPad air to download iBooks with an iTunes gift card and it keeps telling me that my security question answers are incorrect. I do not understand that because they are the answers I provided when asked those questions! Now the darn thing has locked me out of my apple account and every time I attempt to contact support Safari tells me it can't find the server and apparently there is no such thing as 24 hour phone support so what the heck do I do to get my account unlocked and how do I find out what answers apple has for my security questions as apparently they don't have the same ones as I do?  I NEED HELP!!

Call Apple in the morning.
Possibility could have been you had caps lock on entering your security answer either now or when you set it up from the beginning.
Apple will help you out and you will be in good shape.
If you are not into phone calls then try to make an appointment at your local Apple store and they can fix it for you in no time.

  • Why does F.F tell me that the Flash Player download is not a trusted site and why when I look at system it tells me I'm using W.XP when its W.Vista/

    I have been using I.E 8 with Yahoo and I updater to I.E 9 and it said that I was a trusted site and then I started having problems with Adobe Flash Player. I changed over to M.ff and now when I go to Mozilla Updates it downloads and then a warning pops up not a trusted site or Unidentified source. I have also noticed that my Toolbars change when I restart or new start my Desktop? I am using Frontier Secure and I get "Harmful Website Blocked" or other warnings that I never gotten before. Is there anyway that a Security Tech. can log in to my system like LogMeIn or another site to show me what is going on with my system? I have spent hours configuring my system and done everything to make it run right. Also I have Flash Player installed on my system but when I run something it tells me "Please install Flash Player? Also why does it say I'm running XP when I typed in windows Vista?
    Please help
    Kind regards
    concerned

    Are you using the official Adobe website to download Flash?

  • 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.

  • Why does my iPad tell me my airport network "cannot be set up by this software"

    why does my iPad tell me my airport network "cannot be set up by this software"?

    You likely have an older version of the AirPort router which is not supported by AirPort Utility for the iPad.
    Check the model number on the bottom....if you have an AirPort Extreme.....or check the model number on the side of the device......if you have an AirPort Express.
    Post back with that model number.

  • HT5312 I have forgotton the answere to my second security question so that i can change my password. I have tried more than 8 times

    I have forgotten the answerer to my second security question and i have exceeded 8 attempts. How should I proceed? I wanted to change my password .

    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.

  • TS3297 how to get the answer to a forgotten security question.

    how do i recover the answer to my forgotten security question

    If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate 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 then see if the instructions on this user tip helps : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551

    Thank you.

    If you have a rescue email address on your account (an alternate email address is different) then you can use that to reset them : If you forgot the answers to your Apple ID security questions
    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions) then you will have to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : Contact Apple for help with Apple ID account security
    If your country isn't on that page then try this form and explain and see what they reply with : https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
    When they've been reset, and if you don't already have a rescue email address, you can then add one for potential future use : Manage your Apple ID primary, rescue, alternate, and notification email addresses
    Or if it's available in your country you could change to 2-step verification : Frequently asked questions about two-step verification for Apple ID

  • HT1918 i have forgotten the answers to my itunes security questions. someone please help me!!!

    I have forgotten the answers to my old security questions as I made my itunes account years ago but I have never really used it that much. I now have $50 on my account from Christmas and I CAN'T PURCHASE ANYTHING because i don't know the answers to the 2 security questions.
    I have seen on youtu** that you can go to your apple ID account and click security questions and you have the option to change/edit the questions & answers, I don't have this option at all.
    HELP ME PLEASE

    1. See my User Tip for some help: Some Solutions for Resetting Forgotten Security Questions: Apple Support Communities.
    2. Here are two different but direct methods:
        a. Send Apple an email request at: Apple - Support - iTunes Store - Contact Us.
        b. Call Apple Support in your country: Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support
            and service.
    3. For other queries about Apple ID see Frequently asked questions about Apple ID.
    4. Rescue email address and how to reset Apple ID security questions

  • I cant remember the answers to my itunes security questions. Therefore i cant buy any new apps,films, podcasts etc.Please help.

    I cant remember the answers to my apple security questions. So it wont let me buy anything on the itunes or app store. Please help.

    The option to send reset info will only appear if you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account. If you aren't getting the option then that implies that you don't have a rescue email address, and you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions - you will need to contact iTunes Support or Apple to get the questions 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 the page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use.
