I received (and opened) a mail from a friend, it contained a link that I could not open ( I tried, though) . It was a hacked message, she later apologized.. Can my iPad2 be affected? please advise

I received ( and opened, because I knew her address as safe) a mail from  friend, it contained a link that I tried to open, but it could not.
It was clear it was a hacked email, she then apologized..could my iPad2 be affected by this? Please advise, thank you.

You SHOULD be safe. The iPad's operating system is different from PC or Mac ones, and most viruses and malware are written to infect PC's or Mac's.
If, for example, that link led to an .exe file the iOS can't run that so it does nothing.

  • I had trouble updating itunes to the latest version.  It suggested I manually install and that failed.  I tried uninstalling and reinstalling and that gave me an error message stating that I could not open itunes because MSVCR82.dll was missing. Help!

    When I tried to update to the latest version of itunes, I kept getting a message saying installation failed and if the problem persisted I should try to install manually.  When that failed I uninstalled and tried to reinstalled, then I got messages saying MSVCR.dll is missing and could not open itunes.  Any solutions out there?

  • When I try to download Firefox 5.0 (I have 4.0) I get the box that indicates that Acrobat could not open 'Firefox 5.0.dmg' . Mac OS10.6.7 Help!

    I keep getting the Software Update for Firefox 5.0. I try to update after viewing the informatiion choosing English and MacOS X. It downloads and then I get the message: "Acrobat could not open ‘Firefox 5.0.dmg’ because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been corrupted (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn’t correctly decoded)."
    I would be most grateful for any help; I am 78 and trying but not succeeding. Ah, the scourge of age.

    Sorry, Firefox 4.0.1 isn't supported any longer, that's why you are getting re-directed. Firefox 5.0 is a security update for 4.0.1; Firefox 4.0 didn't get that update, but Firefox 3.6.18 did. Best to stick with 3.6.18 until whatever you are using for those logins is updated for Firefox 5.0.

  • IPad informs me that "Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding" I cannot access emails or interneton Ipad.

    Ipad message "Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding". I cannot access emails or internet.

    Thankyou for suggestion. My PC was working ok ( accessing emails/internet) which puzzled me. It's usually the PC that drives me nuts and the iPad that is great.I discovered my TV was having difficulty with a connection to broadband. I turned off the main Wifi router and switched it on again and all seems to be well. My IPad was suggesting, however, that all was well with the Wifi connection. It had a tick against it in Settings. Very strange!

  • A file downloaded from hrms kar govt containing extension name as .aspx is not opened in android. Please tell what to do?

    Download file not opened

    Unfortunately, you may need to rename the file with an appropriate extension. For example, it might be .pdf or .doc or .xlsx depending on what application it is designed for.
    To do that, you can use a File Manager app. For example, I use ES File Explorer: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop
    Firefox uses the same Downloads folder as other programs on your system. Not sure about other Android versions, but mine's at
    /sdcard/Download
    If you long press a file in ES File Explorer, a toolbar will appear at the bottom which allows you to rename the file. Unfortunately, the entries in Firefox's download list and the Android Downloads app will no longer work after that, you'll need to access the file through the file manager.

  • TS3899 I have deleted my mail account & added it again, but when I open my mail there is only a blank screen, also my safari will not open it just goes straight to my main screen.

    I can't seem to get my mail screen when I open it on my iPhone, the screen is blank now but earlier today i was unable to use the screen to select anything... Also I'm unable to open Safari, would anyone know what I need to do, I've deleted the account and added it again but nothing.... Thanks

    The first step in user troubleshooting is to power the phone off/on. The next step is a reset, holding the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release, ignoring the slide to power off screen if it appears. If none of this helps, the next step is a restore, first from a backup and if no help, then as a new device. A reset does not affect data, however a restore will remove data from the phone. Make sure everything is backed up. Sounds like the email is not the only issue you have with the phone.

  • HT1551 the apple tv seems to be on and is plugged into the tv with an hdmi cable and the hdmi port is selected, but the tv is flashing that this is "not supported mode" even though this samsung tv has two hdmi ports

    I have my new apple tv connected to my tv with an hdmi cable, but nothing appearing on the screen.  any suggestions?

    I just fixed mine by following the steps in this article http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/archives/aug14/080814.html 
    Basically, turn off file sharing, remote sharing etc... in apple preferences and it worked.  Apple support didnt help and told me to take back the device !  I initially restarted, rebooted,reset apple tv,  updated, unplugged everything including the router- unchecking the sharing boxes in preferences is the only thing that worked.

  • Unable to open documents in Office (Word and Excel) - 3 authentication prompts followed by 'Could not open ...'

    I am getting multiple authentication prompts when I try to open or create a new .docx or .xslx document from SharePoint 2010. 
    I tried this on different machines and on different browsers (IE and Firefox) and see the same behavior. I am the site collection administrator. I see the same behavior on other sites also. Other users are also seeing the same behavior.
    If I download the document, I can open it without any issues.
    The Web Application IIS authentication settings is NTLM and Client Integration is enabled. 

    Hi shankze,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you could not open the documents because of the authentications.
    Go to IIS, make sure that the Security TokenServiceApplication pool is started.
    Please do as the followings, and compare the result:
    Add your site to the Trusted Sites Internet Zone.
    Go to Internet Options - Security - Highlight the Trusted Sites Check Mark - click on custom level - scroll to the bottom and in the user authentication section select "Automatic logon with current username and password."
    Also, you can do via group policy in DC server.
    More information, please refer to the link:

  • Could not open

    As part of a grant application I uploaded several pdfs that I created to the online grant server.  I was previously able to open these files from the online server just fine but now I get an error message that says:  "Could not open because it is either not a supported file type or becuase the file has been damaged (for example it was sent as an e-mail attachement and wasn't correctly decoded)."  Others are able to open the files just fine using my password on another computer.  I've already repaired my acrobat installation.  Any suggestions?  BTW I've tried to open then through both IE and GoogleChrome. Thanks!

    The version is 9 pro.  I tried to right mouse click to open, but that is not an option on the grant site.  Most are simple pdfs I converted from word docs and the kicker is that others can view them on their computer through the grant site, but not me.  I am able to view the original pdfs that I uploaded and at one time I was able to view them on the remote site.  It feels to me like there is a preference that needs to be changed, or a setting in Adobe Acrobat that is not "turned on."  I appreciate your thoughts.

  • Xorg Fails to Start: Could Not Open Default Font 'Fixed'

    After an absence from my Arch system, I tried to fire it up today and found that Xorg7 now fails to load, telling me that it "could not open default font 'fixed'". I have done a "find" on my whole partition - there is no font file called "fixed*" at all on the system. Just for fun, since I have an older SuSE 9.3 on another partition on the same machine, I searched it too - no files called "fixed*" at all.
    Does anyone recognize this error, and know what to do about it?
    I haven't touched this partition in probably 6 months (long story). I do have a triple boot on this machine, with the SuSE I mentioned above and also Ubuntu Dapper Drake. I have been running the odd update on those two OS's - I suppose they might have crept onto my Arch partition and messed things up...
    Anyway, any and all thoughts much appreciated. I am pretty much dead in the water with Arch. I am running Arch 0.7.2, on a 3.0 GHz Pentium IV HT with 1 GB of RAM.

    Hi Guys, thanks for the help. I haven't been able to get back to this for a bit but I finally did tonight. sh___, your tip did the trick. I did the grep and sure enough, fixed WAS on the system, it just clearly was not in the font path. I started backtracking and found that it had been commented out of the font path in xorg.conf. As soon as I uncommented it, X11 was back. Phew!
    HOWEVER, XFCE4 is totally borked. It appears that one of my Ubuntu updates wandered onto my Arch partition and kindly updated parts of XFCE4, leaving the whole completely unworkable. Happily, I also have KDE installed on Arch, and was at least able to get an X environment back from which to work on the XFCE4 problem. I am now updating XFCE4 completely to the current version - that should restore version harmony and hopefully all will be well. We shall see! Thanks again.
