Do I have a virus on my iPhone4? I get new same ad boxes in 2 old game apps
Happy New Year to everybody!
I have an iPhone 4. I checked the questions regarding Viruses on iPhones, but could not find the same case as mine.
Around Christmas, I downloaded a few apps and deleted some of them again. Among those I kept were the Rummy Lite and Klatsch +.
After some games of Rommé a small box with ads appeared with no option to close it. It does not hinder to play, but disturbs.
I noticed that it disappeared sometimes after I put the iPhone on flight modus (coincidence?). Until now I thought it's ads from the Rommé app.
Now this: I played several times the Klatsch + app without any problem, but since today, I get exactly the same box with the same ads. I'm afraid to have a virus...
I read this could happen on jailbreaked iPhones. Mine is not jailbreaked.
Well, is there any competend help out there?
THANKS A LOT!

Hi Roaminggnome,
thank you very much for your answer!
This is also what I initially thought. But the ads appeared 2 or 3 weeks after I had started to use the apps....
What do you think - is this programmed?
Thanks a lot

Do I have a virus? How do I get rid of it?
When on FB or a website, etc., on my iPad 2, a page from this website (Lemode-MGZ.com) keeps popping up and taking over the page I am on. Do I have a virus? How do I get rid of it?
These kinds of problems are typically caused by visiting a page that is malicious or has been hacked. That page displays a malicious scam message of some kind. The immediate solution is to clear website data from Safari, according to the instructions at the bottom of this page:
Safari web settings on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
To keep the problem from recurring, be sure to avoid whatever page you visited that caused the pop-up. If this is a legit site, it may have been hacked. Notify the site owner(s).
If this continues to happen with a wide variety of sites, you may have compromised network hardware. See:
How to manage a hacked wireless router

# Question
My computer keeps freezing on me every 15 min do i have a virus I was told when you have mozilla firefox you don't need virus protection is that true and how can I scan if I have a virus and now do i get rid of it? editStart Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
There are other things that need attention:
Your above posted system details show outdated plugin(s) with known security and stability risks that you should update.
# Shockwave Flash 10.0 r32
# Next Generation Java Plug-in 1.6.0_21 for Mozilla browsers
Update the [[Managing the Flash plugin|Flash]] plugin to the latest version.

My laptop was stolen and I need to be able to connect my iPhone4 to the new laptop and transfer content (photos, mp3's, apps etc.) to the new laptop. I'm afraid to try a sync in case it deletes all the content off the iPhone. Any suggestions?
You should be importing all pics taken with the iphone to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera.

I am trying to load iTunes and keep getting a error 126 and reinstall program. I have uninstalled and reinstalled twice and keep getting the same error message. How can this be resolved?
Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

WHEN I TURN MY IPHONE 3S ON IT ASKS ME TO CONNECT TO ITUNES AND RESTORE. I HAVE DONE THIS 10 TIMES AND STILL GET THE SAME SCREEN. CAN ANYONE PLEASE HELP??
Has your phone been jailbroken? If so, you will likely never get it to work again.
You can try placing your phone in DFU mode (search google) and restoring. -
When I try to update an app in the App Store i get a message "There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (13)" I have tried many many times and keep getting the same message. How do I resolve?
First take the steps recommended in this support article. If there's no change, continue as follows.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Cookies/com.apple.appstore.cookies
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Quit the application if it's running. Move the selected item to the Trash. Relaunch the application and test.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return. -

n my house we have 2 iphone 4, and everytime we get the same contact list freom each other, how can we unsync the contacts so each user keeps thir own contact list?
Hi user 1724, before icloud, we had the same issue....
so yes, the solution was to each log into the mac separately.
i kept the main itunes library and apple id, and my son made his own itunes library (which linked to the main itunes/apple id) - so we were able to maintain separate contacts lists.
but then w/ the cloud i guess we assumed the cloud would know we each have different contact lists on diff. phones, but it seems the cloud just lumped it all together - -
