Does apple require virus protection

You don't need antivirus as long as you don't Jailbreak your iPad.

  • How can i protect my computer from viruses and malware in China?

    I will be in China for work, using my new Macbook, and using a Chinese server to access the internet. What are the best settings to protect my macbook from malware and other scary things?

    The OSX already has defenses built in.  Your biggest problem is downloading malware unwittingly.  If you do not know what something is, do not download it.
    You might look at this web site for some additional information regarding potential hazards to a Mac:

  • HOW CAN I PROTECT MY LABTOP FROM VIRUSES

    look i be on my computer all the time i worry about viruses and i heard that  you cant get viruses on apple products but if you can how can i get them off? and how can i clear up the trash that i dont want?

    See my Mac Malware Guide for more info about how to protect yourself from malware.
    As for clearing up trash you don't want, that sounds like a different question altogether. Unwanted apps are not viruses. Note that you should not use any kind of "cleaning" software (see The myth of the dirty Mac), nor should you use any kind of app removal utilities (eg, AppZapper, AppCleaner, etc). If you have apps you want to get rid of, drag them to the trash, unless they installed using an installer (in which case you must use the proper uninstaller from the developer of that app) or unless they are preinstalled Apple apps (never delete those).

    How can I control an iPad from a touch screen which is mirroring the iPad screen.
    This is a very important application for disability students who wish to use iPad apps but do not have sufficient fine motor skills to use the small screen of an iPad but could use a large format display touch screen.
    There must be a way.?????????? Help!!

    How do I remove an iPad from my iCloud account?

    If you want to keep the photo stream photos on it, save them to the camera roll (tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll).  Then go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account.  You will then be prompted about whether to keep or delete the iCloud data from your iPad.

  • Itunes error. the data execution prevention pops up and says "to protect your computer, windows has closed this program. Data execution prevention helps protect against damage from viruses and other threat.

    I have a windows Xp computer. and i needed to download the newest itunes to support my ipod touch. but now my computer doesn't let me open itunes. The the data execution prevention pops up and says "to protect your computer, windows has closed this program. Data execution prevention (DEP) helps protect against damage from viruses and other threat." I tried excluding itunes from DEP on settings but it still doesn't work. I don't know what to do. please help me!!!
    thanks 

    try to select the computer cd/dvd autorun off.
    I had the same problem, then Kaspersky software found a conflict suggesting me this solution.
    Itunes now works...even if it always asks to set the cd/dvd autorun on when lunched.

  • How do I stop my ipad from referencing an old apple id?  My old ID was deleted by an Apple representative months ago.  When I try to "update" my ipad it always references my old apple id which I no longer have a password for..help

    How do I stop my ipad from referencing an old apple id?  My old Apple ID was my old email address.  I contacted Apple and it was deleted by an Apple representative months ago.  Whenever I try to "update" my ipad (games etc.)  it always references my "old apple id" which I no longer have a password for or have any access too..help

    Problem is...I do NOT know the password for this "old" apple id.  I haven't used this apple id in over 1 year and it "suddenly" started to show up.  I can NOT update or down load any updates without knowing the old apple id's password either.  I am getting help.  I was able to contact tech support and they are in the process of helping me within an email reply to "reset" my password from that old Apple id, in the next 24 hours.           
    Thank you all for your help!  I hope we are able to resolve this issue.  Again, it is very odd that my "old" email or original Apple ID decided to appear after such a long span.  I will keep you all posted as to how it was resolved when I hear back via an email.

  • How do i keep my ipad from going to sleep during presentations

    I'm using Evernote for notes during a presentation. How do I keep the iPad from going to sleep so I can read my notes?

    Bey you have have an MS Exchange account on the iPad (through your work) and they are limiting the options you have (disabling 1, 3, 4 & Never).
    Try this...
    Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
    Select the Exchange account then set it Off.
    Go to Settings > General > Auto-Lock and you should see all options.
    Set it to what you want.
    Then turn on the Exchange account.
    The Auto-Lock settings should stay.
    However, if you go back and view the Auto-Lock settings, it will change back toonly  2 and 5.

  • How do I keep my iPad from switching back and forth from my Apple ID to my husbands Apple ID?

    How do I keep my iPad from switching back and forth from my Apple ID to my husbands Apple ID?

    Your question confuses me because there is no way that the iPad can switch Apple ID's without user input. Where are you seeing evidence of this?
    If you are seeing app updates that require your husbands ID, that's because those apps were purchased with his ID and will always require his ID and password for updates.
    If you are seeing his ID elsewhere, explain....
