Hello Lisa. It is perplexing that using the same ID on your PC and on your device is not seeming to synchronize after you make sure and answer all those questions correctly. It has been so long since I have done this that I do not remember the exact steps on making sure things work right. Perhaps signing out and then back in from your device might make things work a little better. One other thing you might consider trying is going to the Apple ID website directly and updating your security questions. This might trigger the need to answer them on both your PC and device again. However if something is not synchronizing properly perhaps this is the fix. The Apple ID website is http://appleid.apple.com.
Good luck.
