I have McAfee on my PC, so do I need this on my iPad? Thanks
While iPads and iPhones are not technically immune to virus or malware issues, they are extremely resilient and Apple issues security patches in their Software Updates on a frequent basis to combat any security concerns. At the moment it is not possible to even install an application that could run as an Antivirus application, let alone find one.
So, you are as safe as possible without one for now, assuming you continue to install Software Updates in a timely manner.

I have McAfee SiteAdvisor installed and recently I have had a pop up ad for Secure Search. I am instructed to activate Secure Search in my browser and then click finish. How do I do this? Also, the pop up is not fully viewable so that I can click the Finish button.
Can anyone tell me how to activate Secure Search in my browser?

Whenever I turn on my computer, which came with Windows 7 pre-loaded, I get a message to click on updates. I never use Explorer, only Firefox, for internet access, so is there any harm in declining the Windows updates? I have McAfee protection - do I need to update Windows also to be secure?
Updating Windows won't do you any harm. Infact it can be beneficial to you since windows keeps releasing Security Updates and other Functionality Updates of the Microsoft Programs you use on your computer.
However you will need to '''"Allow Internet Access to Firefox"''' in Windows Firewall and other Security Apps. -

In upgrading Adobe I do not want to have McAfee.What do I do to eliminate itorcan't I until it'sdon
I want to update but don't want McAfee in my computer. How do I eliminate this?
Thank you kindly. I had stopped it midway so I don't know how to get it to finish. I think it says it is finished but I did not get a email saying so.
I do not know how to get rid of pdf files created. This is getting too much for me as a senior lady not having any help.
I did try looking at at tools, view etc but nothing has a delete choice. I appreciate your time.

Ok Apple users...Is there a way to delete e-mails on my Mac and not have to delete the same e-mails on my iPhone, and iPad...and vise-versa. I have the Cloud, and thought that everything would sync all of the time. If you know of a setting I need to adjust, please let me know.
Are you referring to @mac.com, @me.com or @icloud.com emails? Or some other email providers emails?
If the former, it should do that automatically. If the latter, no. iCloud does not (nor is it supposed to) sync non-Apple provided emails. -
Why can't I connect to the Internet on my Adobe Reader? And why do websites tell me I don't have Adobe downloaded when I have an updated version on my computer? It is an IPad,does that affect it?
Also, download and open the free Adobe Reader app. Then read the Help section to figure out how to use it.

I had over 200 e-mails. I went to my webmail and deleted most of them. However, my iPhone still shows 200 e-mails. How can I force my iPhone to update from the e-mail server? Or will I have to delete each e-mail from my iPhone as well? Thanks.
You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

I need to connect my iPad to a projector and have USB ports. What do I need to do this and where can I get the suitable fittings? I really need to have more than one USB connection port. Help
You can connect via a cable or wireless using an Apple TV.

Alternately, there are Apple Digital AV Adapters for hardwired connections:

If your location does’t have wifi to use with the Apple TV, use a portable router.

I have a jetpack, and when I try to "connect" to my ipad or phone, it keeps telling me I am not using the correct password. I have tried everything. I even changed the password, nothing is working. Both are 4G, my ipad is an Air and my phone is a Iphone 5. I can get connected to other wifi on these features but not with my jetpack. Please help, I need to use this feature soon. Thank you so much
Chances are you mis-typed a character in the Wifi password and the devices saved that information. Now whenever you try to connect the device refers to the wrong password and the Jetpack does not accept your connection. Tell your devices to forget the wireless connection and start over.
Once you enter the proper WiFi credentials the Jetpack will allow you to connect. -
My browser will not load a page or update unless I am actively moving my cursor or typing. If I select a page and don't do anything then it doesn't load at all. I have no idea how this happened or how to fix it. Thanks.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

We have a large family, 5 kids and two adults all with iPads, iPhones, Mac Books, Servers.... How can we combine our purchases to use on all our devices. We have two Apple ID's and sometimes buy multiple copies because of how we are limited...
Hello Halfback71,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
Frequently asked questions about Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5622
I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.
If you are wondering how using multiple Apple IDs relate to iCloud, see Apple IDs and iCloud.
Best of luck,
