Can iPods get viruses, or anything of the sort?

I'm using a video converter I'm not sure about (AVS Video to iPod 2.2 (To convert my SELF-MADE videos)) If it gives my computer a virus, which I doubt, I've had it a while, could it also affect my iPod? Could it affect my iPod in any way at all?

I Have Heard that you can transport viruses between pc's by usb-sticks/disks and therefore ipods as well, this doesnt affect your ipod, but the lender of your ipod, owned of computer u used with your ipod can get trouble. i heard this was because the autorun feature in windows is easiliy affected by leaks, a virus could install itself on a stick, the autorun part, and everytime the stick is inserted in a pc, windows runs the autorun and activates the virus.

Most Windows users don't.
Purchase an external hard drive and use the backup software that comes with it to backup files from your computer.
Buy TouchCopy and install it on your new computer, connect your old iPod and transfer your songs to your computer.

I tried it again using "save link as", and this time it actually worked! I just now downloaded several more using the "save link as" option, and it works perfectly. Thanks. Problem solved.

I think you can only get app data back if you reinstall the app and then restore the iPod from backup. The app should contain the dat up to the time the backup was made.

HOW can I get a GOOD copy of the iTunes software for my desktop?

I solved MY corrupt firmware file problem!
A little background- I deleted all Apple, iPod, and QuickTime software from my desktop PC and reloaded iTunes for the (I don't know how many) time. Same thing! Downloaded it again and used the "erase iTunes" option then reloaded again and had the same result. I then cranked up my old laptop and when I got to the Apple website, I was offered an opportunity to download QuickTime and took it. It came with iTunes if I wanted, so I took that too. After the download, I plugged in the Nano and it restored to Windows format. I did not want it to sync to the laptop, so I took it to the desktop and was able to sync with Nano and downloaded my tunes. TALK ABOUT HOKEY!
WHY does the restore program have to be resident on MY PC or MAC anyway? Seems like I could just as simply download a current copy from Apple every time I want to restore.
WHY doesn't Apple do something about this problem and let users know about the solution? Do they not want to grab a share of the Windows business? Here is an excellent opportunity!
Now for my question.
HOW can I get a GOOD copy of the iTunes software for my desktop? I now know it works! Is there a hidden file or folder I should delete before I make my next attempt to cleanup and download? Why isn't this information public?
I spent over 30 years in the DP industry. PC is not my area of expertise, but this must be the most frustrating experience of my years.
desktop Windows XP

I THINK I have solved the problem. Can't be 100% because I don't want to try a restore. At least the Apple home page lites up correctly with quicktime now. It hadn't in the past.
Thank you for your assistance. - LRB

"Current browser"? When viewing anything, or just when using an APEX app?
Ans .. Just when using apex app....even if the apex app is minimised ..The current browser will be the one where I am using apex app...
What i am looking for some scheduler .. to check ..in the table every 5 minute for change if there is a change..then a popup alert be shown...
Split it into [at least] 2 components, database and browser. I'd expect someone calling themself a "DBA Architect" to have some ideas about the database side of things, even if not clued up on JavaScript and AJAX?
I dont think its a database isssue... When i say to check every 5 minutes ..it could be easily done via dbms_scheduler ...I am having issue in getting the popup alert message...
in apex... Dont know wether there is a plugin like modal window(available from skill builder) which shall help in this scenario,.Or might be have to use java scripting and ajax ..
and if it is that (Java scripting and Ajax) .....then shall have to be familiar with java scripting and Ajax...and this shall be a bit time consuming..
Had a feeling this could be accomplished via java scripting and ajax.. ...but still looking for some easy way..

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 7.0.4. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.
You can no longer update to iOS 6.x, or down grade the iOS.

iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and antivirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.
How to Upgrade to iOS 7
The iOS 7.0 update requires around 2.5 GB of storage space, so if your iPad is almost full, you may need to clear up some space. You can check your available space in Settings -> General -> Usage.
There are two ways to upgrade to iOS 7: You can use your Wi-Fi connection, or you can connect your iPad to your PC and update through iTunes. We'll go over each method.
To upgrade using Wi-Fi:
Note: If your iPad's battery is under 50%, you will want to plug it into your charger while performing the update.
Go into the iPad's Settings.
Locate and tap "General" from the menu on the left.
The second option from the top is "Software Update". Tap this to move into the update settings.
Tap "Download and Install". This will start the upgrade, which will take several minutes and will reboot your iPad during the process. If the Download and Install button is grayed out, trying clearing up some space. The space required by the update is mostly temporary, so you should gain most of it back after iOS 7 is installed.
Once the update is installed, you may have to run through the initial steps of setting up your iPad again. This is to account for new features and settings.
To upgrade using iTunes:
First, connect your iPad to your PC or Mac using the cable provided when you purchased your device. This will allow iTunes to communicate with your iPad.
You will also need the latest version of iTunes. Don't worry, you will be prompted to download the latest version when you launch iTunes. Once it installs, you may be asked to setup iCloud by logging into your iTunes account. If you have a Mac, you may be prompted on whether or not you want to enable the Find my Mac feature.
Now you are ready to begin the process:
If you upgraded iTunes earlier, go ahead and launch it. (For many, it will launch automatically when you plug in your iPad.)
Once iTunes is launched, it should automatically detect that a new version of the operating system exists and prompt you to upgrade to it. Choose Cancel. Before updating, you will want to manually sync your iPad to make sure everything is up to date.
After canceling the dialog box, iTunes should automatically sync with your iPad.
If iTunes doesn't automatically sync, you can manually do it by selecting your iPad within iTunes, clicking on the File menu and choosing Sync iPad from the list.
After your iPad has been synced to iTunes, select your iPad within iTunes. You can find it on the left side menu under Devices.
From the iPad screen, click on the Update button.
After verifying that you want to update your iPad, the process will begin. It takes a few minutes to update the operating system during which time your iPad may reboot a few times.
After updating, you may be asked a few questions when your device finally boots back up. This is to account for new settings and features.

My computer restarted while my shuffle was installing and now I can't get my computer to register the connection. What do I do?

My computer restarted while it was installing the shuffle for the first time. Now I cannot get my computer to register the connection and I cannot put music on my shuffle. How can I get my computer to install the driver again and start using my shuffle?

Hey jessandmatt17,
If you cannot get your iPod Shuffle to show up in iTunes, check out the following articles depending if it shows up on your computer within Windows Explorer. With the iPod Shuffle plugged in check in Windows Explorer to see if it shows up as a removable device. They both will help no matter how the iPod Shuffle shows up.

How can I get pubished parameters to display the available settings

how can I get pubished parameters to display the available settings?

according to the online help, I'm supposed to click on Title to get to the titles settings as follows
"Adjust a title’s settings
You can modify a title’s default settings in the Title inspector.
Select a title in the Timeline.
Choose Window > Show Inspector (or press Command-4), and click the Title button at the top of the pane that appears.
Adjust the available settings as needed.
Note: You can also keyframe many of the settings in both the Title and Text inspectors."
Gsoing to the Text inspector, there does not seem to be anything in the menu where I can change the color of the text. Based on the photo that appears with the above instructions --it appears the ability to change ink color is under the Published Parameters that is the menu I cannot get to 'drop'

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

OK, at least 3 is working.
I don't know how you have a Tape Recorder icon on your Home Screen. I cannot add one myself. But, I am running Holo Launcher in replacement of the default LG "Optimus" User Interface. It's much better in my opinion.
Try long pressing the icon and select Edit and maybe you can change some attribute of the icon.
Another thing you could do, is long-press an empty area of your desktop, to add an icon. Select Shortcut, then Select Contact, and scroll through your contact list and choose the contact that you added for *86.
You realize if you have voice mail you haven't heard, there is a tape recorder icon in the notification bar, which you touch and pull down, then press it to dial voicemail.
If that functionality doesn't work, you MIGHT want to consider doing a factory data reset on your device, but that is going to nuke all your personalizations and cause you work to set up again.

I had an apple ID which I used for iCloud. I upgraded the iCloud account and changed the apple ID to a @me address. Now I can't view what was in my original apple ID account. How can I get what was stored on the original account?

I am puzzled by this. The laptop doesn't need the Apple ID - but iTunes does. I could be missing something but ....
Why would you not be able to use your existing Apple ID and iTunes account on a new laptop? If you authorized the computer - you should be able to use your existing account - unless you already had 5 computers authorized with the existing ID - and that was why iTunes would not accept the ID. However, I'm sure that you would have received a popup message from iTunes telling you that you had reached the limit.
I just received a new MBP and my daughter did as well. My entire family shares an Apple ID and we had no issues at all with my Apple ID and iTunes on our new computers and I did not have to sign up for a new account. Did you even try the old ID?

Can iPods get viruses, or anything of the sort?
