Why won't it let me reset me security questions?

I set my security questions quite some time ago. I have forgotten my answers for them now and want to reset them because
Randomly when I try to download an app from the apple store it prompts me to answer them, resulting in me trying to figure out how
And it won't let me have the option. I have tried the original way, most threads give the same answer. I'm unsure if it's because I'm
Not on an actual computer and I'm on a mobile device, but when it leads to me to hit the button to reset them the link is not there.
I do not have a computer so if there is a way to reset this from my Iphone that would be great to know about!
Thank you!

The reset link will only show 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 don't have one (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.

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 .

    We are fellow users here on these forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
    The page that you posted from tells you how to reset them i.e. if you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then steps 1 to 5 half-way down that page should let you reset them.
    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 / Apple to get the questions reset.

  • I can't find an option to add a recovery email for the purpose of resetting my security questions. There is also no option when I am in the "manage my account" area that lets me reset my security questions. How can I reset them?

    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.

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.

  • Why can't I get the reset my security questions link?

    I can't find the phrase which shows under the security questions
    Forgot you answers? Send reset security info email to*******... etc :(

    You didn't previously set up a rescue email address and 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, so creating a rescue email address requires correctly answering two of them.

  • HT5312 I cannot use my apple id because every time I get into my account with the correct password, it prompts me for security questions which I've forgotten my answers.  It does not let me  reset my security questions even using a rescue email.  Help!!!

    I feel like I'm in an infinite loop.  I have all of the information correct except my security questions -- I set them up quickly and forgot what I answered.  Per the FAQs on Apple's website, I should be able to get a rescue email that allows me to reset the answers to the questions, however all I get is a rescue email to reset my password.  This is my first time trying to use this account and I can't get around the security questions.  Can anyone help me?  I just want to download some music to my mini iPad.

    Click here, phone them, and ask for the Account Security team, or fill out and submit this form.

  • Apple ID won't let me reset my security questions. I don't know what I'm doing wrong?

    I have tried multiple times but it won't let me. I have to change them because I forgot what the original ones are. Help!?

    If you don't have a rescue email address set, then you're SoL.
    If you do, then reset your info and check in there.
    If not, you'll have to contact iTS, and wait for God knows how long for Apple to complete its pending investigation in this SNAFU.

  • Help why won't photoshop let me edit my photos anymore?

    Why won't photoshop let me edit my photos I am a photographer and my photos need more editing but photoshop will open the tools but nothing happens with any of the tools!

    Too little information …
    Could you please post a screenshot with the pertinent Panels visible?
    Boilerplate-text:
    Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by keeping command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift pressed while starting Photoshop after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, cleaning caches, font validation, etc.)?

  • HT4743 When I try to buy a tv episode, it comes up with a message "problems communicating with itunes store, try later"  click ok and then another messge comes up to verify payment info online. Everything is correct.  Why won't it let me buy??

    When I try to buy a tv episode on apple tv, it gives me a message of "problems connecting with store, try again later".  I hit ok, and then another message comes up to go online and verify payment information.  I have done that, all info is correct.  Why won't it let me purchase?  This has been going on for days.

    I figured it out!
    I read a solution for something that sounded similar.
    Anyone in similar position:
    Open iTunes app on iPhone, and pick an option from bottom, such as music. Then scroll down to bottom of page and where your iTunes ID is, press on it, and pick sign out.
    Then return to home screen, and double press home button and press and hold on first icon showing, until a minus symbol appears in the top left of icons present. Press on each minus symbol on each app in turn, until all app icons have disappeared. Then Restart the phone by pressing and hold the home button and the on/off/standby button at top of phone, until the apple symbol appears in centre of blank screen.
    Swipe to turn phone fully on and open settings and scroll down to iTunes and apps option and tap that. Pick sign in and put in your apple ID, it will accept it and then return to home screen and open iTunes a you'll find it works fine
    Simple really, but some like me won't think f this themselves!
    Hope that helps
