    I sent an email to a govt. Agency and got one back saying I was a spambot. What does that mean?

    Simply put, a bot – which is short for robot – is an automated computer program that allows outside sources to control computers remotely without the users' knowledge. A botnet is a network of hundreds or thousands of computers infected with botnet malware that communicates covertly with a command-and-control (CnC) server run by a type of cybercriminal called a botmaster. Unbeknownst to the individual users, their computers are linked in a rogue network which the botmaster can utilize for a variety of nefarious purposes.

    trying to download iOS7 and it is saying i have a setting error what does that mean

    Quite probably, or it may just be off and out of range of a network. In order to find a missing iOS device it has to have had the app enabled, and be on, not wiped, and able to connect to a network.

  • My phone says my cdma service not available what does this mean

    my phone says cdma service not available what does this mean

    This has just happened to me. My phone (Samsung Intensity) worked great on Sunday. Sent and received several texts while at home on Sun during Steeler football game. Monday night, while sitting outside of my home in my driveway, could not make a call. Message said CDMA SERVICE NOT AVAILABLE. On the front of my phone it says Searching SVC. No bars. Icon of a cell phone with a diagonal line through it. Tuesday night, same. Didn't think about trying it at my office. Tried the dialing *228 send option 2 but that doesn't exactly work when the phone doesn't work. My husband's phone (Casio GZOne) also not working at our house.

    Looking at my phone's screen, there is now an icon at top right that was not there before - it looks like a rifle sight with three waves emanating from it, which I am assuming tells me I am now connected to a wireless network.
    Nope, that icon is indicating that you have GPS enabled on the device.

    1. I travel all over the country for my job, often to pretty remote areas. Can I expect better or worse service with the wireless? Or does it exist more as a back-up to the mobile network?
    2. Is this somehow going to cost me more (e.g. by using "data" minutes instead of "talk" minutes)?
    1. Wireless Network = Mobile Network. Same thing, different terminology.
    You'll have the very same network connections as before.
    2. Data is Data, Talk is Talk. They are not the same. When you place a call, that is Talk minutes.
    When you use SMS texting, that is SMS.
    When you use the internet browser, BBMessenger, mapping, etc., that is data.

  • Music I purchased on I Tunes is not available when I open ITunes in I Movie.  I Movie says those files are "protected" and not accessible.  What does that mean and can I change them to "unprotected" so I can use them in IMovie?

    Most of the music that I purchased on I Tunes I bought and downloaded on my old I Mac which I replaced with this I Mac about 9 months ago.  When I"m using I Movie on this I Mac and try to open I Tunes tab in I Movie, most of the files are not accessible because I Movie says those fields are protected. What does that mean and can I change those files to unprotected so they show up in my music in IMovie?
    This I Mac is OS X version 10.9.5 Maverick, 2.7GHz Intel Core 15 processor, 8GB 1600MHz DDR3 memory.

    Your older iTunes music purchases included DRM software to prevent sharing.

    I tried to upgrade the new version for i pad mini but when downloading it just went off and told me to connect it to i tunes, so i did and now it says i need to restore it. Does that mean I will lose everything in my i pad?

    In other words, the upgrade process did not go altogether well and the device has lost all its contents. When you plug it in, they will be restored from the backup.
