Can a email attachment executable load a virus on iPad

I received an email with an executable attachment - is there a virus app for an IPad

There is no known malware capable of infecting an iPad, unless it has been jailbroken (ie, hacked to allow apps from outside the App Store). So the e-mail is not a concern. It's probably just a Windows trojan.
There also are no true anti-virus apps for the iPad (the built-in security on iOS prevents apps from doing things that an anti-virus app would need to do), so don't get suckered into buying one.

  • Can the email attachment image cache be disabled?

    I receive email with attached images from a security system with four cameras on a detected alarm event. No problems before update to ios 5. Now the first attachment image received becomes the default image for all camera emails. If I delete the first alarm email, power cycle phone, the next email attachment image becomes the default image. All images are time stamped jpg so no duplicate names to cache on. Because I use Imap, I can go to other computers and the images are correct on those machines. I have another different system that emails attachment jpg images that come through correctly. Only those images are slightly larger in size. 30k versus 19k for the problem emails.

    Same problem on ipad mail. Received 5 emails with each one different photo. Imap zimbra mail client shows each photo ok, ipad shows always the same photo. Cache problem ? Moved the files to different imap dirs, reboot ipad, played with options ... No workaround. How can we submi a bug report ?

  • Is there a setting where I can delete emails on all Apple machines at once (iPad, iPhone, Mac)?

    I would like to be able to delete my emails on my Ipad and have them be deleted on my Iphone and Macbook Air at the same time. I feel like I spend most of my time going from one machine to the other deleting emails that have accumulated. Is there a solution for this?

    I assume you have a POP account.
    For each device you have to change the Delete from Server setting.
    iPad & iPhone:
    Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > select the account > Advanced > Delete from server...you can change this to when removed from ibox (or any other setting to suite your needs)
    MacBook:
    From Mail app  Mail > Preferences > Accounts > select the account > Advanced check "remove copy from server after retrieving" box then select your prefered option from the drop down box.

  • Can desktop manager be configured to view email attachment?

    Hi,
    I have posted this question few times before and still have not gotten a definite answer. Can someone confirm if I can configure the desktop manager to view email attachment? If so, how do I achieve it? I am not one BES or BIS.
    I have looked at the below KB and tried using the application launcher to install the attachmen service, however, it was not available in the application loader wizard.
    http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=KB04279&sliceId=SAL_Pub...
    configuration
    Blackberry 8300
    Desktop Manager 4.3
    Thanks
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    First of all if you are nither BES nor BIS then there is no question of integrating email IDs in your device. Meaning no possibility of viewing email attachment in your device. For using any BlackBerry features you have to have a BlackBerry data plan. Please clarify this point.
    Now regarding attachment viewing through Desktop Manager configuration is not possible. There is no such option in BlackBerry.

    "when I try save to PDF it just wants to save it to a file?"
    Correct. The difference between "Mail PDF" and "Save PDF" is that the first opens a new Mail message with the file attached. the second saves a file which you may attach to an email message.
    "Terrainathome is a good example of what I am trying to do."
    Not familiar with Terrainathome, but my guess is that the company is sending an email message containing HTML code that downloads what's essentially a web page into the displayed message. To do that, you'll need a website, software that will produce the necessary HTML code, and recipients with email clients capable of interpreting HTML (which is 'most email clients' these days).

    Thanks Jeff, I was not aware that a template could be multi-page.  (All the existing templates were 1 page)
    But it worked, saving me some steps.  When I was finished I renamed the document, and locked it.
    Then tried to save it but  could not because it was locked.  I closed it, went to my Spread Sheet Folder ,
    to find it, it was not there.  The Finder could not find it either.
    So I start over again.
    I opened up Numbers and it showed my personal Numbers template folder, it contained both my new 
    original 4 page template and the vanished saved document!
    I tried to delete the template containing these document data and could not - I had to go to the Library/Application Support/Numbers to physically remove it from this folder. Then I started over again.  I Finally found out how to make it work: I can now "save as", and then lock, and it will go to place where I want it to be saved and locked.
    The secret is: Click on the document title in the menu bar, and it opens up  "Save as...", which works the same as in OS 10.4.11, and you can pick the place you want for saving.  Once done that, you can then lock the document in the same pull down menu, and then close it.
    I also found later that I can delete a template from its folder, by letting Numbers open the templates,
    clicking on the one I want to remove, then go to the "Numbers Menu/File/Move to...", select "Desktop"
    and from there the selected template can then be thrown into the Trash from there.
    It appears now that the real fault of the Numbers software is that the "Save as" command is not available in the "Edit" or "File" pull-down menus, but hidden behind the title of the document.

  • Why can't I "Save as Text" a pdf file received as an email attachment?

    I can "Save as text" a pdf file which I have created in my own computer (that is, it goes into MS notebook that I then can Copy and Save as an MS Word file) but not when I receive a pdf as an email attachment. (The file is saved, but it is empty.) Why would I want to convert my own pdf back to text? Well, in case I no longer have the original Word document I suppose, but the thing is "Save as text" works with my pdf, but not with those I recieve from others. How come? Thanks!

    Is this a scanned PDF? If so, it must first be OCR'd.

  • I can no longer attach files to my outgoing Hotmail emails.  I only receive a message that an  error has occurred. Help appreciated.

    I can no longer attach files to my outgoing Hotmail emails.  I only receive a message where I would expect the Upload to appear that an  error has occurred.
    I am using a MacBook Pro with Retina, 2 Ghz Intel Core i7, OS X 10.9.4
    I have no difficulty attaching files to the outgoing Hotmails on the same account using my iPhone.
    Help appreciated.

    Thanks for this - not an immediate solution I fear but will keep unplugging stuff and restarting stuff.
    To try and be clearer about the problem - I have in the last managed to send attachments successfully.  Now  I can send and receive plain email messages but get the error message when I try to attach an existing file to an email - not just a particular file but it would appear all files are being treated in the same way. 
    An experiment to send a mail to which an attachment has failed to upload got the following message alongside the SEND button
    Files with errors will be removed from the email and not sent.
    - but the mail alone was sent and received successfully.  Thanks for any pointers you can give me.

  • Can't open PDF file as email attachment

    I have windows xp with adobe reader 8. When I try to open a pdf attachment file in my email it wants to go to my browser and won't open. Just get a warning messege. I want it to open in adobe reader. I can save it and then open it from my documents given on option when I right click. I do not get any options when I right click while it is still attached to the email. It started when I screwed up opening another pdf file in my email. An option box poped up with a chice between adobe or browser. I picked browser and then clicked the apply button. I have not been able to undo it. I can't find that option.

    I tried that.

  • Is there a format for a file that I can use for attaching a one page document with photos embedded that will open in everyone's email automatically?   I've tried PDF and Word, but worked only in Mail.  Lost formatting when just copied and pasted in email.

    Are you sure PDF won't work? It should as what you're trying to do is pretty much what it is designed for (PDF - Portable Document Format). On a Mac anywone who receives the file should be able to see it in all its page layout glory by using the app Preview or Adobe Reader. Same on a PC, the file should be viewable as a PDF file using Adobe Reader and probably some other viewer (don't use PCs so not sure what other apps).
    What application are you creating the file in and are you sure you're exporting it correctly in PDF format, fonts and images embedded?
