How secure is Internet shopping with ipad mini

How secure is Internet shopping with ipad mini

Same as any other iPad or iPhone. 
There has been no malware that I have heard of on the iPad.
I would say it is very safe.  I buy on the inernet all the time.
Optional: for a minor improvement in security, change your DNS server to Google
You could change your DNS server to Googles. I use Google.
Google provides free dns lookup.  Their numbers are:
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4

  • TS1398 How to connect to wireless with iPad Mini running iOS 6.x.x.

    Recently purchased iPad Mini which iOS 6.0.1 installed.  It would not connect to the Internet over wifi at my home.  I run two wifi networks in the house.  One uses a Linksys WRT120G router (SSID:wremlc) and one using a combo DSL Modem/Router from CenturyLink (SSID:centurylink).  iPad would not connect to either network.  (As an aside my iPhone 4s amd my wife's iPhone 4 have been connected to the Linksys network (prior to upgrade to iOS 6.0.1.  They still connect to the wremlc network but will not connect to the centurtlink network.)  The Linksys router has been updated to the latest firmware and it is running WPA/WPA-2 security with AES/TKIP encryption and automatic channelling.  After tinkering with the settings in the CenturyLink router and changing from automatic channling to Channel 6, I was able to the iPad mini but neither iPhone.  I am afraid to change it on the wremlc network for fear that my iPhone will no longer connect.  Took iPad back to Verizon Store and could not connect to any of their secure wifi networks.  I am able to connect to public unsecure wifi networks in places like McDonalds, Panera and Starbucks.  I am also able to connect to some private secure wifi networks at some of my firend's homes but not all. When I try, for example, at my in-laws house (they use a Linsys WRT120N router), it tries to join and I get a mesaage that says "Unable to join network "chandler".  Same for my iPhones and my daughters iPad.  I thought iOS 6.0.2 had fixed the wifi problems but clearly they have not.  Don't think its a Linksys problem as my iPhones connect just fine but that could because its a remembered network that was originally connected before iOS 6.0 came out.  Sorry for the epistle but any help would be appreciated.

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.

  • HT201335 How to do AirPlay mirroring with iPad mini and ATV2?

    My iPad mini and my Apple TV 2 (both up to date) don't want to do AirPlay mirroring. Why? Regular AirPlay works. I can't even see the AirPlay button in the taskbar.

    That document is describing what you say you are already seeing.  It is talking about enabling the air play button in "apps like Videos, Music etc" as you described.  So if you have the AirPlay button showing up in the iOS music and video players is it working as it is supposed to.  So what is it you are not seeing?

  • How make a normal call with ipad mini

    i want to call and send text message by normal way, do you know how can i do? or wich app i need to download??

    There are texting apps that can be downloaded for texting to non iOS devices. I have no idea how well they work. I have never used one.
    https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/text-me!-free-texting-sms/id338088432?mt=8
    The closest that you can come to making a call with an iPad would be to use an app like Skype. You can't make a "normal" call on the iPad since it is not a phone.

  • How can I stream sports with ipad mini?

    and in the next 4 hours please... i have skyfire, wiziwig, vlc and a lot of instructions that don't seem to work. i don't know what to do with these apps or streaming sites. thanks, john

    It differs depending on the site you are trying to use. If they are using Flash you will need to use Skyfire, Puffin, Photon or one of those alternate browsers and you will need to check with the developer of the app to see if it will work with the site you are trying to use.

    How can I connetct internet on my ipad mini (non cellular) without wifi ? is there any wifi adapter available ?

    You can not connect to the internet with a WiFi only iPad without WiFi. You can get a mobile hot spot from your carrier but that still connects to the iPad via WiFi and comes with a monthly data plan like a cell phone.

  • How do I sync my new ipad mini with my old ipad 2, without losing any apps or data in notes?  I need step by step instructions for first-time sync with ipad mini.  Thanks.

    How do I sync my new ipad mini with my old ipad 2, without losing any apps or data in notes?  I need step by step instructions for first-time sync with ipad mini.  Thanks.

    If you synced it many times, you have to have a backup. It's just a question of how old that backup is now. When did you last sync?
    First of all launch iTunes on your computer and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices. Do you see any backups for you iPad in that window? If so, how new is the newest backup? That will be the backup that you will want to use. But remember that if you use that backup and it is one month old, you can only restore from that date back in time. Anything that you did on the iPad in the past month will not be in that backup.
    Turn on the new iPad Minin and start activating OTA via WiFi. You will get to a certain point in the process where you will be given the choice to Set up as new, Restore from iCloud - or Restore from iTunes. You will want to select Restore from iTunes.
    That is the short and sweet version. There are step by step instructions in this article. This applies to the mini as well as the iPad 4 or the iPad 3 for that matter.

    iOS device backups are stored in your iTunes library.
    Move your iTunes library to an external drive.

    Unfortunately... Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything...
    See Here  >  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    However... Once you have Recovered your Device...
    Re-Sync your Content or Restore from the most recent Backup...

  • Can i use mirroring (atv) with iPad mini?

    can i use mirroring (atv) with iPad mini?

    You can use an iPhone (if your carrier supports it) as a personal hotspot for your iPad and use the phone's cellular connection to go online with your iPad - your iPad will see the phone as a wifi network.
    If you are asking if you can share an internet connection from a wifi-only iPad then you can't, only cellular models potentially allow you to share its connection with other devices/computers.
