Can an ipod touch get a virus

I have an iPod touch 4th gen. Random applications will open and/or close. If I'm connected to Internet my e-mail will open and randomly start executing functions. Its almost like someone is controlling my pod. It doesn't do it all the time but is becoming more frequent. I have restored it to factory to try and fix the problem but it has not helped.  I know this sounds nuts but I am at my wits end. please help! It does this even if I am in airplane mode! It will open applications and start executing random functions. Please help!

Your iPod Touch has a hardware problem not a virus. Contact Apple Support for replacement.

  • Can my iPod touch get a virus?

    I was wondering if my ipod touch can get a virus from safari or sumtin.
    For some reason the battery has been running out far too quickly and the date and time sometimes resets.

    There is a logical explanation for everyone of your problems... To the original problem no an ipod cannot get a virus. If your safari keeps shutting down the the coder for the site you were on is just reeeeeaaalllyy bad. For games shutting down its faulty coding once again or you have too many things open on the multi tasker. To the person with the battery running low again too many things on the multi tasker or your just playing a graphics heavy game a lot. Final thoughts: the apple ios,psx were made exceptionally well so I don't believe there aren't a virus in existence that would harm an apple product

  • Can an Ipod touch 5g have virus?

    This question have been in my head for quite a while now and i want to know the answer cause sometimes my Ipod gets all slow or weird(?) for example, a small part of the song repeats when I unlocked it or it dosn't change the song when I want.

    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

    Hello,
    I am currently an owner of an Ipod Touch 4th generation. I see you are having problems with your Ipod/Ipad/Iphone, so I will try to find a solution to your problem.
    Hard Reset: Hold down the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds or until Apple logo appears
    Make sure you have Itunes downloaded
    Make sure Itunes is the latest version
    Hope that helps!
    If none of the above solutions work, can you please respond back ASAP as I will try to find another solution to your problem (This might even help others with the same problem!)
    Cheers!

    Otherwise, try connecting in DFU mode.

  • How high can a iPod touch 3G be upgrade in the iOS

    How high can the iPod touch 3G get upgrade in the ios

    5.1.1. If it's an 8GB model, it's probably a second generation, not a third, and can't be updated past 4.2.1; if it happens to be a fourth generation model, 6.0.1.

  • Can the iPod Touch play radio stations?

    Can the iPod Touch play radio stations? I have an older iPod and I use the Apple product (below) to listen to radio stations on it. I'm thinking of getting an iPod Touch and was wondering if there's any similar products that I can use for the iPod Touch, or even if there's app that would allow me to play radio stations. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MA070G/D?fnode=MTY1NDA3NA&mco=MTU1NTExMA

    as already said, most (if not all) of the radio station apps require wifi access, which is fine if you just want to listen where you have wifi access (i.e. at home) but not so good if you want to listen out and about.
    i recently bought one of these http://www.amazon.co.uk/Roberts-Robi-DAB-iPod-adapter/dp/B000X24UOM
    which is brilliant, but i see you're in america, and i dont think you have DAB (digital) Radio over there. there may well be similar products out there though.

  • How come sometimes my iPod Touch gets stuck updating an app and then just deletes it?

    How come sometimes my iPod Touch gets stuck updating an app and then just deletes it instead?
    The update bar on the app gets stuck on empty and then the next time I sync the app gets deleted.
    It is really annoying to lose all my data when updating an app, and it has happend more than once!
    Any idea why it does this? I am scared to update my favorite apps for fear that they could be deleted.
    -Sam

    I never had an app being deleted.  You can always udate the app on the computer and then sync.

  • Does the white ipod touch get dirty easily?

    Does the white ipod touch get dirty easily?

    Yes, both scratch just as easily. Buy one, and buy a case. DONT use it untill you have the case, mine was "scuffed up" after only 2 days of use. Keep it in the wrapper and keep the little plastic 'film' that covers the front, leave that on as well. Then put all of that in a case (marware.com , buy a sport case for like $10) and if you do that it should be bullet proof. It even absorbes shocks, so you can drop it a lot.

    iCloud really has nothing to do with it since it works with Ubuntu. It may be due with the Trust
