Can I get a virus on my iphone if I accidentally clicked a link in an email?
Someone's email sent me one today that had a link in it... I was only half paying attention, recognized the sender and hit the link before I realized my stupid move. I have three email accounts hooked up to the phone, and within a few hours, they started going nuts on my phone. By that I mean, I kept getting notifications on my screen that I was receiving emails, even though these were from a few weeks ago. I deleted my email accounts, but I'm wondering if I need to do anything to my phone? Can I load the accounts in again? Should I have virus software on my phone?
Thanks for your help!
No, it cannot infect your iPhone.

If i have music from limewire can i get a virus on my iphone
can music from limewire give my iphone a virus
Limewire was discontinued and shut down about a year ago and as a result of this, most of the music and files you find in the program are corrupt or virus-laden. Your computer may be affected, but your iPhone will not get a virus from a malicious music file because the mailicious code was not designed to be harmful to iOS, only to Windows.

is there anyway I can stop my ipad from flipping to Safari every time I click on a link in an email. I would like to be able to go through all my email and then go to Safari and go through the tabs that have been opened. Currently I click an email, Safari opens, I go back to mail, delete said email, read the next email, repeat.
No. If you simply click on a hyperlink in pretty much anything, Safari will open since it is the default browser. The only option you have is tap and hold on the link, and then select Add to reading list. It will then be stored int eh reading list in Safari.

I have windows 8 and itunes 11.1 ... my laptop identifies my iphone 4 but itunes insists that I either update my phone to OS 7 or restore to by basic 6.1.3 OS I don't want to do either. How can I get itunes to access my iphone ?
RealPlayer can cause conflicts with Flash Player because it tries to assign EVERY TYPE of video or audio file to itself by default. I haven't used RealPlayer in years for that reason. It's an unnecessary program anymore. There are apps loike VLC media player that cna do EVERYTHING it does without conflicting with other apps like Flash Player.
With WIndows 8, Microsoft began embedding FlashPlayer themselves into Internet Explorer. Because of that, you cannot download and install it from here. You cannot uninstall it from Internet Explorer without removing a specific Windows Update first. And you cannot update it via this website. ONLY through Windows Update can Flash Player for Internet Explorer be updated.
That said, you probably DON'T have a virus that's causing the problems with Flash Player and Internet Explorer. Many, many websites are not "recognizing" the browser.
This is a known problem with Internet Explorer 11, which Microsoft has been aware of since October 18 when they released IE11 The pages can't recognize the browser, so they don't recognize any of the plugins, like Flash Player.
So far, Microsoft has made NO indication that they have any plan to fix it soon.
Microsoft's recommendation is to use Compatibility View for affected pages, and "pretend" you're using an different browser. Trouble with that is it has seen limited success at best, and you have to individually enable it for EVERY page that has problems.
I'm not big on "pretending" so I recommend actually using another browser.
Firefox (from Mozilla)
Opera (from Opera)
Safari (from Apple)
Chrome (from Google)
ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in. -

Hello, I want to restore a backup from this afternoobut in i-tunes it is not visseble. When I'll look on te pc: (username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\ it's there! How can I get this backup to my iphone or itunes? Thanks in advance!
Follow the steps in this article to restore from iTunes back up:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
Since you say you cant see the back up in iTunes you should be able to see it when following the last step where it says for iTunes 10.7 or earlier. Dont worry as this step also works for iTunes 11. -

I downloaded and paid for an app on my ipad, how can I get it free on my iphone without using itunes as my laytop is broken. I cannot seem to find the purchase tab in app store? I am logged in using the same ID
First, the app must be universal...designed for both iPhone/iPad:
Tap App Store.
Make sure you're signed in with the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.
Tap Updates.
Tap Purchased on the resulting screen.
Locate the app in your Purchased tab.
Tap the download icon.
The app will begin downloading and you'll be taken back to your home screen. -
Since installing Ios7 280 music tunes out of a total of 360 will now only play when I'm within range of WiFi. The remainder now appear with the stupid Icloud logo beside them. How can I get them back on my Iphone 4s and scrap this stupid icloud that I did not want or ask for in the first place. Why can't rotten apple ask if you want the dam icloud rather than just stealing everything without permission and then you can only have access to it through wifi.
Wow, just posting and it seems that there is a solution that is working for me...
What I've did is I turned off iTunes Match on my iPhone, then turned in on again. Now in my iTunes library on my mac I can get the duplicates to be matched or uploaded to iCloud with a right-click, add to iCloud. iTunes Match starts to check the songs and everything is done correctly. Pretty nice! -
How can i get a pdf from my iPhone to my new macbook? I keep trying to sync but it says it will delete all the books/pdfs on my phone. I don't have this pdf on my computer and don't want to lose it. I am using the same iTunes account. Any suggestions?
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:
