Can a virus be transferred from an iphone 4s and infect a PC?

Been reading a couple of article recently and was hoping to get a little more clarity on the situation.

It might be possible to transfer a virus attached to an email from an iPhone to a PC, but that's the only way I can think of that a virus or other malware could be transferred. As razmee said, there are no known viruses that can infect an iPhone, and if there were it would be unlikely that said virus could attack a Windows system which has a completely different hardware and operating system architecture.
Regards.

How can i take the music from my Iphone 3GS and put it in my Itunes Library

How can I transfer my music on my phone to my Itunes library on the computer? I need to make space on my phone to update and take pictures.

For iTunes purchased content, without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases. Music ripped on your own requires third party software, like this:

Can you move your notes from one iphone to another and how?

Can you move your notes from one iphone to another and how?

You can do this a couple ways. If you are using MobileMe, notes is one of the options for synchronization and that would be automatic. Another way is to backup your iphone to iTunes, this backs up essentially all the information on your phone (except for music) and if you restore the other iphone to the image of the original your notes will be transfered.

Computer Crashed. iTunes Library Lost. How can I get it back from my iPhone

I have 522 Purchased songs on my iPhone. My computer recently crashed and we got a new hard drive, so all settings were refreshed on my computer. I plugged in my iPhone to transfer my Purchases back to my iTunes library. Again, 522 Purchased songs, and only 303 of them copied. I tried transferring them again, however it didn't transfer anything. Is there anyway I can get the songs back from my iPhone?
Note: My iPhone is on automatic update, and if I try switching it to manual I'm prompted that in order for the change to occur I must Erase and Sync my iPhone which would completely defeat the purpose of my trying to get my music back on my computer so I can put new songs on my iPhone as well.

Purchased songs should be able to be copied back, but if not, maybe you need use other tools. This is a frequently asked question, you can have a look of below answer.

Changed phone from an Iphone to and Xperia Z1 and can't receive Iphone messages?

Hello I have just transferred from an Iphone to an Xperia Z1 but can't receive any text messages from my Iphone using friends - what do I need to do?

You do not need to ask your friends to do anything, you just need to do one thing and everything will be fine. On your iphone go to Settings>Messages and turn off iMessege and leave your iphone on for about 10 minutes just to make sure the apple servers are updated with your request and then shut your iphone off and voila!! That's pretty much it, now all your friends will be able to message you directly through normal SMS and you don't need to ask them to do anything

How can i print my files from mi iphone 5 throught the airport express?

How can i print my files from mi iphone 5 throught the airport express?? i have the last iOS version installed and also the last firmware version of the printer. the printer is already connected to the USB airport express and when i look for printers in airprinter there is no printer found. i have an HP LASERJET P1606dn(i think that is supported by the airprinter).

In order to function with AirPrint, a printer must connect to the network wirelessly.
Even if you have an AirPrint compatible printer, iOS devices will not be able to print to the printer when it is connected via USB.
So, you have two options:
1) Reconfigure the printer to connect to the network using wireless only and the iOS devices should be able to print that way....assuming that you have up to date drivers for the printer installed.
2) Leave the printer connected via USB and then use a third party App like Printopia installed on your Mac as a "workaround" to (hopefully) allow the iOS to device to be able to print. If you want to give this a try, there is a free trial for Printopia, so you will know if it will work before you buy. You must have a Mac running on the network in order for Printopia to function correctly.

How can I print a doc from my iPhone 4S to a Lexmark Interpret S405 printer with WiFi? Thanks!

How can I print a doc from my iPhone 4S to a Lexmark Interpret S405 printer with WiFi? Thanks!

Unfortunately you need an airprint enabled printer to print from an iOS device. There are some work arounds but they are very complicated and aren't proven to work 100%. From what I understand through rumors they are working on allowing all wireless printers to work with iOS but at the moment that's a pipedream. I don't know how important it is but if you really need to print from iPhone you can find some great AirPrint printers on Ebay for decent prices. Good Luck!

This is threadjacking. Where someone posts something in a thread that has nothing to do with the thread. If you want to ask a question, then start your own thread. You won't get an answer here. But to keep you from having to start a thread, there is no iPhone unlock code.

Can I delete a Playlist from an iPhone but keep it on the Mac?

I have iTunes match on my Mac and activated on my iPhone. I keep as little music as possible on the iPhone due to space limitations. My thinking was that I would download what I want to listen to on the the way home from work, then delete it to download something else -- basically, only keeping what I'm currently listenting to at the time. I know that if I download an album, I can delete the songs manually from the iphone, or the entire album. The result will be no songs on the phone, all of them in the cloud and all of them still on my Mac.
Playlists, however, seem to act differently. I downloaded a playlist that I no longer want on my phone, but of course want on my Mac. I now have questions:
1. Can I delete the playlist form my phone with one swipe/delete?
2. If I do, will the playlist still appear on my Mac at home? (from what i've read, no)
3. If I delete select songs from the playlist, or all of them manually, I believe the playlist will still exist on my mac, but be empty. True?
In a perfect world, you should be able to swipe a playlist and choose either "delete playlist only from this iOS device" or "delete playlist from all devices". Thanks.

I did this recently on an iPod Classic: attach to iTunes, on the device summary tab check manually sync music, then deleted the music and playlists I wanted off the iDevice. They remain on the computer's iTunes but by keeping the device identified as manual sync they do not go back.

Hello ashlyn888,
Based on your post it sounds like you would like to sync your iBooks content with your computer. I have located an article that may help you in this situation. While you can sync this data with your computer you can also use the sharing button to send PDFs using various sources:

Hi RaulRod,
Are you pressing the Sync button to transfer music after connecting your iPhone or do you have the option checked to 'Automatically Sync when the iPhone is connected?'
Have you tried manually dragging and dropping music from your library into your phone?
