How can i add security to my ipad

Whilst using my ipad on a social network site, I accidently clicked on a link and unfortunately via my ipad (i believe) a worm entered my online account and someone stole my identity, via a very secure payment company. I do not keep paswords on my computer,  I have virus checkers on my pc, but this doesn't extend to my ipad and iphone, on previous forums I understood that these were safe! now I know this is not the case how can I debug both of these appliances and make them more secure and safe. (Please do not state the obvious by saying not to click on anything and regularly changing passwords) Many thanks

I don't think your laptop virus checker would have helped either.  This was a theft done at the other end of the pipe.  Somebody intercepted your signal.  There are no viruses or Trojans that can reside on the pad and gather data and send it anywhere.    From time to time there are rouge apps that make it through, but they quickly found, and get a lot of publicity.  And the 'sandbox' approach means that one app generally does not have access to data from another app.
The only other comment would be, if you are using wifi at home, is your system secure?  There is software and hardware around that a drive by can use to snatch your unsecured signal.  Not likely if you are in any kind of remote area, but could, and I guess does happen in high population areas.  If your network is open, put some. Security on it.

  • HT1848 How can I add photos to the iPad while not deleting any currently on it? I have some photos from my brother's camera that I can't get again.  How could save them onto my iMac?

    I have uploaded photos from my brother's camera while on vacation to my iPad (1).  Now that I wish to add even more photos to the iPad,  iTunes say that it will replace all the photos once I sync again to add from an album on the iMac.
    WHOA.
    I'd like to upload the photos to the iMac! HOw can I do that?
    How can I add photos from albums on the iMac and not lose the ones I currently have stored onthe iPad.
    I cannot find this task addressed in any Help reference.
    I do not understand why I cannot make a simple file transfer back and forth.
    Many thanks!

    Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

    I want to download a movie from itunes.  My ipad (first one) says I do not have storage.  How can I add storage?

    To do what you want to do, no.
    Now there are devices like the Seagate GoFlex that advertises itself as a portable harddrive with its own wifi hotspot that your ipad can connect to and stream movies from.

  • How can I add word document to IPad

    How to add word document to Ipad?

    If you don't mind spend some money, there is two solution.
    You can buy quick office which can open Word Excel and Powerpoint file for you.
    You can also buy Pages which has a better GUI but cannot open Excel and Powerpoint.
    If you don't want to spend money for this, you can sent the document to your registed mail account on Mail.app.This will work, but you can't do changes to the document.
    You can also convent it to PDF file in order to open it on iBook.app.

  • How can I add document folders in iPad with File Sharing

    I am using Aji Annotater.
    Because I have large amount of PDF files, I use File Sharing.
    I want to add the entire folders and organize them as they are.
    But, I can only select file by file basis. Although I can make a multiple choice, I can organize them in folders.
    Does File Sharing support making folders?
    Thank you.

    As far as I know you can't create folder in file sharing. However, the app GoodReader (which reads PDFs and other files) allows creating folders on the iPad and those folders show in file sharing. However, you can't access items in the folder nor add items to a folder. Same applies to some other apps which allow folder creation.

  • How can we add Outlook calendars to iPads and share views

    however, adding any html snippet widget onto photos page as you plan is a no no, because the widgets stay on top of the picture when in detail view. many tried to add paypal button in their photos page and failed, search my posts for paypalbegone.
    but it can be done: http://iweb3widgets.cyclosaurus.com/PayPalBeGone/Photos.html

  • HT5312 How can I add a rescue email? I forget my security questions and need to add another email to reset them. I did not add a rescue email  when I originally signed up.

    I do not recall ever answering the security questions therefore I do not know them and iTunes will not let me purchase music through my iPhone. How do I reset the security questions? I do not have a rescue email set up to do so. How can I add that?

    You can't now and need to contact Apple. Click here, phone them, and ask for the Account Security team, or fill out and submit this form.
    The time to create a rescue email address is when you set up the security questions, not after forgetting their answers.

    I'm afraid you've posted in the wrong place. This is a technical forum around a particular product called 'SharePoint'. This does talk to Exchange and Outlook in places but we don't specialised in either of those. You should have a look for one of the
    generic Outlook support forums or contact your IT department if it's a work related account.

  • How can I add more memory to my iPad?

    How can I add more memory to my iPad?

    Memory refers to RAM, and can't be increased.
    I asume you mean storege space (like 16GB, 32GB, etc). It also can't be increased.
    There are some wireless external hard drives that can be used with the iPad.
    The Kingston Wi-Drive, which costs $50 for the 16 Gigabyte, and then $30 more for every 16 gigs more. It works by you turning it on and then accessing the files on it from an app that you download on your iDevice. You can access music, movies, and other stuff. No connections or anything, it works like a WiFi connection, you connect to it from the setting on the iPad under wireless networks.
    Then there is the Seagate GoFlex, which some would recommend over the Wi-Drive. But this one costs $199 and had 500 Gigabytes of storage. It works the sameway as the Kingston: no wires, runs over its wireless connection. You can actually fit up to 300 HD movies on it.
    Another option:
    Expand your iPad's storage capacity with HyperDrive

  • I have Garage Band for my IPad. I would like to add a "delay" effect to my music, but I do not see that effect available. How can I add it to the software? Thank you.

    Hello all,
    I have Garage Band on my Ipad Mini and I notice that it does not have a "delay effect" that can be added to my music. There are other effects, but no delay, which is the most important one for me. How can I add this effect?  Thank you.

    There are not many effects available in GarageBand on the iPad. You can add reverb and echo to the Master Track, but that's it.
    See the User Guide:  http://help.apple.com/garageband/ipad/1.4/index.html#chs175dc411
