Can I get a virus on my iPod touch?

my family has a Mac and my sister has an apple laptop and we just found out that we have a virus some how coming through to our wifi box. no one knows that I am using the wifi on my iPod touch but I wanted to know if I can get a virus on my iPod/ if it came from my iPod? and how can I prevent and if so get rid of it? please help ASAP!

I have not heard of an virus that can infect an unjailbroken iPod. However, if you get an infected item on your iPod and transfer that to your computer that may infect the computer if opens or something similar on the computer.

  • Can I get a virus on my iPod touch 5

    I Was watching desperate housewives on a site called ******* and when the video was over a message popped up saying google play android your phone has 15 virsus press ok to follow instruction to remove them! I wished I would have screenshoted it but I just closed Safari quickly? Should I be worried?????

    No - that was probably adware trying to get you to buy software
    I would clear the cache and cookies from Safari and you should not see the issue again

  • Can I get the library from my Ipod touch next generation back to my PC?

    Can I get the library from my Ipod touch next generation back to my PC?
    My PC got a virus and I had to reinstall windows from scratch so I lost most of my music. I had a backup program that died in the middle of it so only half came back. the only place that I have all the songs is on the ipod. if I let it sinc it will loose the half that I do not have.
    Any ideas on which direction I should go?

    If your iPod is set to update automatically you need to take care connecting to an empty iTunes. You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows with iTunes installed hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys together. This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer: iTunes - Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows
    If at any point you get a message that your iPod is linked to another library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod.
    If you only want to copy your purchases to the computer that can be done using iTunes, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    For everything else (including purchases) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod Touch or iPhone. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer data (such as playcounts and ratings), movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well.

  • HT1454 Can not get video out from my ipod touch 3rd gen. Any ideas? It should nt be diffiicult to do this on the 21 st century, or not?

    Backing up an iOS device will copy some data to a backup file within iTunes, but this excludes all media.  You can also transfer iTunes Store purchases from the iDevice to iTunes but, without using a third-party tool, nothing else.  As long as you do not sync the iPod with your new library, the media that's on it will remain ... for as long as it keeps functioning, is not lost, stolen, eaten by the dog, ...
    You may also have an option to recover your previous library from your old laptop; as long as its hard drive isn't fried, a computer repair store or technician may be able to extract the drive, mount it in an external enclosure, and copy your data to another PC.  Whatever you choose, there is no real alternative to having all your media on your computer, managed by iTunes, and regularly backed up to another device/location.

  • I have all my music on an external media drive that has crashed. How can I get the music of my ipod touch back onto the comupter without loosing the music when it syncs?

    I have all my music on an external media drive that has crashed. How can I get the music of my ipod touch back onto the comupter without loosing the music when it syncs. in order to start rebuilding my music collection?

    You should be able to recover the media with the tips in  this post from forum regular Zevoneer but I'm not sure what the implications are for your application settings. You can probably transfer your purchases into a newly authorised library, backup the device, recover any other media using third party tools, then restore the device from the backup. That should switch the assocation of the device to the new library but it is not something I've personally tested.
    When you get it all working, make a backup!

    It will tell you there is an update available.  Choose to update. You can click the check for update button as well.
    What itunes version do you have?
    Are you sure you have an ipod touch 4th gen?  You said it was old, but the 4th gen is the latest ipod touch.
    Maybe you should explain what the problem is.

  • Can you get a virus on your ipod?

    This is for my Ipod touch 4g. Ok so i opened this email and it (was from someone i know) thinking that it was a harmless quiz or webpage. The email told me to click this link and nothing happened ( THIS HAPPENED IN MY IPOD). Then the next day my friend told that it was a virus and not to click it. When you click it, it sends the same virus to everyone in your contact list. I don't know if you can get a virus on your ipod though. Some people said yes and some people said no...Someone please help me a.s.a.p

    Its only possible if that specific virus was initially designed to affect iPods. However most hackers would prefer to set spyware and malware to your computer instead, because it holds much more valuable information.. So saying that, it most likely isn't a virus.

    Does the iPod connect to other networks?

  • How can I get internet connectivity with my iPod Touch cabled to my PC?

    Most devices "tether" to a computer (PC or iMac) for internet connection. I cannot find any reference in the user manual on getting internet access from the connected PC to the "tethered" ipod touch. How can I accomplish this?

    Hi,
    The iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS support Internet tethering over a USB cable, as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3574.
    The iPod touch can connect over a Wi-Fi network, as mentioned here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2031.
    If your PC has a wireless card, you may be able to create an Ad-Hoc Wi-Fi network that can share the Internet access to the iPod touch.
    You can also get a wireless router, like an Airport base station http://www.apple.com/wifi/.
