Q: How do I Change my rescue email address (it is incorrect) if I cannot answer the security questions?
I have changed over my Windows box and logging in with a new Apple ID email address. All goodm but now it is asking me the answers to security questions from 10 years ago. When I go to reset security questions, the "rescue email"address is incorrect. How can I change that???
Help! My whole Apple ID system is now locked down.

convenient to you.
