This is where doing it on the device has it's benefits, and it will be necessary by the time you try to introduce a new device to your account. Like I said, it chooses 2 at random to ask you the first time you use a new device on your account. I don't remember getting a choice of questions to answer, I just had to make up a memorable answer to those I had. The car one threw me since I've never had one; but said that before.

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.

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.
