I may have just downloaded something bad from a link I clicked on - how can I run a check?

Received an email from someone I know into my hotmail account so looked ok and trusted. The email contained a link and the wording in the email stated that the person had sent me a 'hi5 notification' - to see the detail click the link. Stupidly I did, and was then presented with the login page again requesting me to enter my password - which I did. All I then got to see was the BBC homepage.
I think I've been a bit dumb! I have changed the hotmail password but am now worried I have downloaded something to my Macbook. I don't have a virus program on my Mac as I don't emulate windows. Any advice and is there anyway I can run a check?

I have just download a book from itunes store but, i don't have an iPad to read it. Can anybody help me? Can i convert it? Thanks.

i have just download a book from itunes store but, since i don't have an iPad, i can´t read it or even see it. Can anybody help me? Can i convert it? Thanks.

Every purchase page for an ebook has a section that says "Requirements". What does that say for your particular book? That should give you the answer to your question. Conversion is normally not possible.
But there are some exceptions. Please provide the Title of the book if you want further help.

I am rebuilding my iTunes library, but still have all the old content on my iPod Classic. I have just download some songs from the iStore and want to add them to the iPod, BUT when I try to sync it asks if I want to delete all content from the iPod and add only the material that I have just downloaded from the Store. I do not want to lose my old content, because it is very extensive.

You are trying to sync to other than the one iTunes library you can sync to. You can copy music from multiple library/computer if you use the manual method of syncing. That method is described here
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
If you want to make this computer/iTunes library your syncing computer/library you have to restore the iPod on this computer/library. Restoring erases the iPod.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
To copy other music to the computer see:
Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device: Apple Support Communities
BTW this is the iPod touch forum

I am a senior citizen newbie to apple. I have just downloaded my pictures to my Mac Pro. How do I remove the usb port without damaging anything. I know I shouldn't just pull it out.

The iphone is a "plug and play" device. It is safe to unplug it without "ejecting it". If you want to be sure it is safe open itunes and under devices next to your iphone you should see the eject symbol like a line with an up arrow above it, click that. Once you no longer see the iphone listed under devices it'll be safe to remove.

I have just purchased os x mountain lion on the app store. how can i see if it is downloading

I have just purchased os x mountain lion from teh app store. how can i see if it is downloading correctly and how long should it take?

If you click on Purchases icon in the toolbar you should find it listed with your purchases. There should be a progress bar showing.
The file is over 4 GBs. How long it takes depends on your internet service speed.

When I have the downloads window open and I close the browser window, how can I get the browser to open the homepage the next time I start it while the download window is still open?

When I have the downloads window open and I close the browser window, the next time I reopen the browser while the downloads are still going, it returns me to the last page I was on. All previous versions of Firefox would return me to my homepage which I would prefer. Please let me know if this is possible.

When you re-open Firefox and choose Restore Session, by default it picks up your most-recently-open window, and the other windows should then show up in Recently Closed Windows.
The Firefox add-on Session Manager lets you manage how many closed windows and closed tabs are saved, in case it's not enough.

If you did register it back then, open your Adobe account with your Adobe ID and you will find it there: Find your serial number quickly
If you still have it installed, open the System info in Help menu or look here:

I have just downloaded two songs from Itunes, and when I try to put them on my iphone they will not go there. There is an icon showing; which is a red ring with a cross through it?

Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can you connect to a wifi source on the device? Enable wifi in settings on the device itself. If you don't have wifi at home, there may be a local hotspot you can use for this.
The reason this happens is carriers don't want people downloading huge files that would slow their network as well as eat up your data plan.

HT4463 I have just downloaded something i didnt need i thought i was clicking on something to trial and it turns out it took the money out of my account. I dont want this software and i would like a refund. I dont mind if i get a voucher for itunes.

I wouldn;t mind if i was given a voucher or something i dont want the software and have no need to use it. I understand it is my own fault

Hi..
Sorry to say but Apple's policy states that, "all sales are final" > iTUNES STORE - TERMS AND CONDITIONS
But since you made an honest mistake, you can at least ask for a refund.

Song songs have not downloaded completely and are cut short when playing. How can i download these again?, song songs have not downloaded completely and are cut short when playing. How can i download these again?

I have noticed some of the songs i have downloaded have not fully downloaded and cut short before they reach the end of the track. Has anyone else had this problem or know how to download songs again without paying to do so again.

make shor that you have the latest version of itunes then you can go to the itunes store and on the right side by the quick links box there is "Purchased" click on that and then chage it to all in the top right corner and then find the song or songs and click the little cloud button to download them.
PS: You do not have to pay for that
