Raul, I'm on the apple ID web site and right away I see a discrepancy
between what's shown on the iPhone and what's shown using the PC. No where
in the security questions section using the PC is there any indication that
I need to answer more than one question. I've just selected a question,
typed in an answer, and made sure the birth date info was correct before
clicking save. I was told my changes were saved, and now I'm back in the
same list of security questions an no hint that I need to choose two more
questions. totally confused over here. <sigh>
Forget love, I'd rather fall into chocolate.

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.

I don't think it's stupid, either, but there's obviously something going

using the iPhone.
I guess that's my biggest issue.
I'm going to use my PC once more and answer 3 security questions and see
how it goes.
I did notice that on the iPhone, at least, answering one block of
questions seems to trigger another list of unique questions. I agree that
some of them are probably not applicable to those of us who have never
driven, but you could always use a guide dog's name or your favorite
sighted person and no one would know the difference, it might even be more
secure because the predicted answers of vehicle models aren't present.

While I respect your opinion, I disagree with you saying that it is
stupid. The security questions are done to protect you from your Apple ID
being hijacked.

You can't evade it, and one answer isn't enough; you have to answer all
of
them, even if it's a nonsense answer, so long as it's an answer you will
naturally come too. I had one about a car, I've never had a car, so
put
None for that and let it go. And once, when I had a new device, (and
this
is your current position, you're starting with a new device, new to the
appstore account at least; )but I got asked the stupid question, said
None,
and it was good enough. The store will ask two of the four randomly as
you
add or change devices; and coming back to it means it will have picked
two
different ones. Good job as I'd forgot how I answered one of them.
So keep answers to a simple and obvious word, it is still specific to
you.
First place of employment for example, least favourite teacher, just
the
name without the rest is plenty.
I think you should just do it, you'll be nagged until you do.

Subject: Bypassing Security question in App Store, is it possible?
Hi, all.
Using the iPhone 5 here. I'm hoping someone has a solution to this
problem.
I'm trying to download apps from the app store. These are free apps
like
Color ID, iMove, etc. I've set up my apple ID, password and security
question on my PC, but when I try downloading anything from the app
store
while using the iPhone, I'm taken to a page where I can choose a
security
question and type in the answer and/or set up a rescue email address.
The
only options I have at this screen are Not Now and Continue. Double
tapping
Not now takes me back to the App store and if I double tap the Free
Button
or Install App button, the process starts over again with me being back
in
the security screen.
Continue takes me into the page where I'm supposed to provide security
questions and answers.
Thing is, I have already set up my Apple ID, password, rescue Email and
one
security question on my PC. I thought the changes made to my account
would
be the same regardless of whether I'm using an iPhone or my PC.
What am I doing wrong?
TIA for the help
Lisa
