The link you provided is about changing answers to the security questions. Do you know if there's a way to change the questions themselves? (Frankly, they have to be the most ridiculous security questions I've ever seen. A good security question should be one that you'll have no problem remembering the answer to, even if you're asked years later. To answer one from the third batch, I'd have to make something up, which makes it unlikely I'll remember the answer later. And I certainly don't want to have to write the answers down somewhere.)

Thanks, Michael. That's a different security question from the ones I'm referring to. I was talking about the ones that just became required in the last week or so, when one signs onto the app store to download an app. I'm sure you've come across them by now. I see by the date of the OP's question that s/he couldn't have been referring to those, so I apologize for posting in the wrong place.

No probelm - actually I have not had the store questions yet. But then I've also had my AppleID for a decade or so and have never had my iTunes account compromised. I read the rollout of the new security questions is initially targeting people who have had problems with accounts being compromised the past, so presumably I will eventually get prompted for them.

I am having an issues with these new security questions too. As I hit submit, I noticed a typo in one of my answers. I tried to go into my Apple ID under Password and Security but it would not accept the answers I entered. Now my account is locked. i just got off the phone with Apple support. They opened a ticket to have my answers wiped out. I assume I'll have to do this all aver again. They said it could take 24-48 hours for this to be resloved.
