Can iPhone Give Viruses to Your Windows PC Computer?

if iPhone has a virus, can it give virus to your computer? Also, is there such thing as an iPhone virus? could you get it from using safari when you surf on the web?

In theory its possible.    If i were a clever ******* i chould use something like the PDF exploit to add a file to the part of the iphone that comes up as a disk when pliuged into windows and in conjustion use an expolit in windows that can be used to install a virus from a usb mas storage to do something evil.  
1 I don't think this had ever be done in wild. 
2.  Its a really over convloted way to do it and most likely not work any one whos smart enoght to pull it offs time for ammount of impact it chould create.

    Hi there AAA87,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities. 
    It sounds like there’s an issue downloading iTunes on your PC, even after trying some recommended troubleshooting suggestions. I’m not sure which suggestions you’ve tried, so if you haven’t already, try the troubleshooting suggestions in the article linked below.

    I can't download itunes to my windows 7 computer. It gives me a error 0x800736fd.

    Don't know about that error but have you tried:
    Make sure iTunes is uninstalled, restart your computer, redownload and install iTunes (make sure you download the right one. If you have a 64-bit Windows7 then download the iTunes 64bit version).
    Hopefully this works for you. If not then somebody in this forum should know the answer.

  • HT5610 How can You authorise your Windows Vista computer??? I do not get this drop down menu nowI cannot get this here, have been trying for hours, why is this so uncooperative? My first impression of I tunes is not so good after that.

    How can you authorise your windows vista computer to play stuff you downloaded from itunes???  I cannot get this drop down menu shown on your support pages whatever I do.    I have been trying for ages.  This is not a good first impression.

    Authorize a Mac or PC
    Review the following before you authorize a computer:
    You can authorize up to five computers with your Apple ID.
    You must authorize your computer to download past purchases, use Home Sharing, or use the Automatic Downloads setting.
    You can play unprotected music that's in the AAC file format without authorizing your computer. This includes iTunes Plus tracks and content  from sources other than the iTunes Store, like your audio CDs.
    To authorize a computer, follow these steps:
    Open iTunes.
    Choose Store > Authorize This Computer from the menu bar.
    You may need to show the menu bar to see this option in Windows.     In earlier versions of iTunes, you can access this option from the Advanced menu.
    Enter your Apple ID and click Authorize.
    If your Apple ID uses an expired MobileMe account, you can still authorize your computer.
    In some cases, iTunes may ask you to authorize the computer again. iTunes should use the same authorization as before if the computer is in your  list of authorized computers.
    Learn what to do if iTunes repeatedly asks you to authorize when you try to play your content.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1420
    Note : If you are Unable to see the Store Tab on your iTunes then click anywhere on your iTunes and press
    Ctrl + B key on your keyboard once and you should be able to see the Store tab in your iTunes.

  • How can i download Itunes on my Windows 8 computer?

    I cant figure out how to download Itunes on my Windows 8 computer can someone help me? I have tried numerous times and nothing pops up or instals

    Sorry but I don't understand your question. If you want to install iTunes on your computer, just download iTunes from the iTunes tab above and install it.
    I think you'll probably need to post back and clarify where it is that you are running into difficulties before anyone can offer any useful advice.
    Regards.

  • Can't access Network share from Windows 8 computer

    I have a clean install of Windows 8 x64 running in a workgroup environment. I can access multiple computer/NAS shares except one share off a partifular NAS. This share is accessible from other computers and the other shares on the NAS are accessible from
    this Windows 8 computer. I have cheked the credentials and they are fine, added them under the credential manager, tried to map a drive and selected use other credentials etc but it continually says "Windows cannot access \\ComputerName\ShareName"
    you do not have permission. I have permission and nothing is wrong with the permissions or the server. This is driving me crazy if anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated.
    I have tried:
    1. Mapping drive with ip address e.g. \\ip address\sharename
    2. disabled ipv6, made sure netbios enabled, made sure client for ms networks enabled.
    3. Setup a new account on server, doesn't work either.
    4. All sharing options enabled. I even modified the permissions on the share for "everyone" full access and it still didn't work.
    Has to be something with this windows 8 machine.

    The article says that I should upgrade to the latest iTunes. I am on the latest iTunes version.
    If you could read just a tiny little bit further, under the "Additional Information" section immediately after that, it says:
    If you are still experiencing this issue when syncing, or have not installed Xcode 4 and get this alert:
    Follow the troubleshooting steps in Mac OS X v10.5, v10.6: Resetting the SyncServices folder.
    If the issue is still unresolved, follow steps in Sync Services: Advanced troubleshooting for contact and calendar syncing.
    Have you tried those measures?

  • How can I play .caf files on Windows desktop computer

    I have a voice/sound recording program called Recorder Pro on my iPhone5.   It generates .caf files, which can be transferred to my desktop computer while the phone is connected, using iTunes/Apps (where the bottom left panel upon scrolling down has two apps, Recorder pro and Garage Band, and on selecting Recorder Pro, the .caf files are listed in the bottom right panel, from where they may be copied. 
    However, none of the software on my desktop would play the .caf files, so following the solution in another post
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/22299971#22299971
    I downloaded Audacity 2.0.5. 
    Now, to complicate the issue, I have had two versions of Recorder Pro on my iPhone.  The first version (let's call it V1) had an icon with a big oval mid-gray microphone. It was (as far as I can remember) free of charge.  It seemed to have a constraint of 3 min recording time, so I replaced with a second version (V4.1.2) purchased for about $2.  "V4.1.2" has an icon with a red sphere on a black background. 
    Both versions produced .caf files, but Audacity will only read the three files I recorded with V1 (6 to 15 MB).  The two files I recorded with V4.1.2 (3-10 MB) will not play.  (Import RAW in Audacity does not work either.)
    I am not sure what the relationship is between the Recorder Pro programs, as they bear no resemblance in design. They both originated from DAVA Consulting. The first one was I believe from here:
    https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/recorder-pro/id503031635?mt=8
    and the second one says it is 4.1.2.
    (A further complication - which could conceivably be relevant - is that V1 appeared in the bottom left of iTunes but the files did not show in the right panel, and I had great difficulty downloading those 3 files - in fact I cannot understand how they ended up copied to my desktop,  since the procedure that was supposed to work was impossible due to the non-appearance of the .caf files in that panel!   Then, when I did find them on my desktop, the files were truncated at less than 4 minutes .... which was the reason for purchasing V4.1.2.  The question then occurs:  is it critically important to download those caf files from your phone in a particular way?)

    Have you tried Vox? https://itunes.apple.com/jp/app/vox/id461369673?l=en&mt=12
    It plays FLAC files (and just about anything else) - though not in iTunes. No need to convert anything.

  • Can't update quicktime on my windows xp computer

    ok i had issues with my itunes and followed someones adice on how to fix it could uninstall itunes just fine but i could not uninstall quicktime 7.7.1 and now it wont update either its really starting to frustrate me when i try to uninstall to do a clean install it gets halfway through and then rolls back when it tries to do an auto update the same thing happens

    Many thanks.
    it collects the data goes through and then itconfigures quicktime and comes up with fatal error during installation this happens when ever i try to unistall from quictime itself or from the contrl apnel
    I think we'd better see if some other application (other than QuickTime itself) has dropped old QuickTime componentry in the system files on the PC. (If there's a version mismatch between the old componentry and the "QuickTime proper" componentry, that can create those symptoms.)
    So we'll go looking for the older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
    First we'll need to change some view options on the PC.
    1. Open My Computer from the desktop or Start menu.
    2. In the Tools menu, click Folder Options.
    3. Click the View tab.
    4. In the "Advanced settings" pane under "Hidden files and folders" make sure that the "Show hidden files and folders" option is selected, and the "Hide extensions for known file types" option is unchecked.
    5. Click OK.
    Now in My Computer, open your C drive.
    Open the "Windows" folder.
    Open the "system32" folder.
    What files and/or folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the file/folder name? (In a standard installation of QuickTime, you should see precisely two files ... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)
