Welcome to the Apple Community.
    1.    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.
    2.    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.
    3.    If you are in a region that doesn't have international telephone support try contacting Apple through iTunes Store Support.

    To use an Apple ID, in the iTunes/App store, requires a payment method be associated with your ID. That can be either a credit card, or if no credit card, you can redeem an iTunes gift card. So, do you have a payment method associated with your account?

  • Cannot install any application from new Winows market.

    Cannot install any application from new Winows market. I click "Install" and... that's all... nothing more...
    P.S. I am on domain network.

    Hi and welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Don't worry, no special etiquette, we're all friends here
    What was the software that you installed that claims to "enhance the speed of your system"? The logical thing to do would be to uninstall the application and hope that it hasn't caused wider ranging problems. The SW, if only halfway reputable, should have come with uninstall instructions. Follow the instructions, reboot and see if your download problem is fixed.
    WRT to the slowing down that prompted your (misguided) installation of this SW there are many things that may be the culprit but the most common and easiest to fix is the remaining space on your HD. What size is your HD and how much free space is there? This info can be obtained by selecting your HD and keying Command (Apple) + I (the letter 'eye').
    Post back with the SW concerned and the remaining space and we can take it from there.
    Good luck,
    Adrian

  • I cannot install an application in the Applications folder without removing it first

    For some time now, I have noticed that I cannot install an application into the application folder without first removing it from the folder. If I try to install it by dragging the icon to the application folder, I get a warning that the application can't be moved because the folder "Applications" can't be modified. I click on authenticate and enter the root username and password. I am warned that the application already exists in the location. I am asked if I want to replace the item. The options presented are "Keep both files", "Stop", and "Replace". I choose "Replace". I am then prompted for an administrator's name and password. I enter "root" and the root password. I then get this lengthy error message:
    The operation can’t be completed because some items had to be skipped. For each item, choose File > Get Info, make sure “Locked” is deselected, and then check the Sharing & Permissions section. When you are sure the items are unlocked and not designated as Read Only or No Access, try again.
    I checked the permissions and "locked" was already deselected. The permissions grant my regular user read and write permissions, "staff" read-only, and "everyone" read-only. If I add "admin" with read and write permissions, nothing changes, i.e. I get the same error. If I try to enter my user credentials, they are rejected. My user is not an admin user. Previously, when I enterered the root username and password, the operation would complete successfully.
    Now if I first remove the application from the Applications folder, then drag the application to the folder, I am prompted for an administrator's name and password. When I enter it, the application is copied successfully.
    I have tried fixing file and directory permissions from the disk utility, but that doesn't fix the problem.

    When you say, "locked" was already deselected, I take it that you mean the small icon at the bottom right of the Get Info window displayed an open lock picture.
    Have you tried locking it, then unlocking it again?  I expect you will be able to lock it by simply clicking on the open lock icon, but to unlock it again you will need to supply an Admin password.
    Odd that DU didn't fix it.  That would be my first thought also.  Suggest trying it again, if you haven't already done so.
    Speaking of DU, have you verified your HDD?
    My Applications folder permissions read -
    System          Read and Write
    admin           Read and Write
    everyone      Read only

    I want use only free applications, and I have not credit card, how I can install free apps?

    Hello Azim5s,
    Indeed, this can be done by setting your account up and choosing 'None' when prompted for billing information.
    Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, and Mac App Store account without a credit card

    My MacBook Pro, 1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo gives me an error message during Lion install. My Intel Duo Core is not an Intel Duo Core and cannot install Lion.  I already have Snow Leopard what is the problem with Lion?

    You need a "Core 2 Duo" for lion, and I'm guessing you only have a "Core Duo"  My wife's macbook is also a "Core Duo" and has Snow Leapord, but cannot install Lion.....
