I seem to have a virus in my iPad email.  Provider has shut me out until it is fixed.  How do I fix it?

I use my iPad exclusively for email.  How can I resolve a virus on the iPad.  Internet provider says an Apple product should not have a virus, but it seems to.
Can anyone help me?

There's one possibility. If you are forwarding emails that contain attachments like photos, videos, documents, etc. These emails may have a virus or malware embedded in the attachments, especially if the email came from a person using a PC.
Do the bounceback messages contain attachments.
Do the bouceback message emails you get from Mediacom say why they are being bounced?
FYI - Even if the attachments contain a virus, they will not infect an iOS device or a Mac computer.

  • My mac seems to have a virus thats connected with a few apps i use and i can't use them without my computer glitching out even though i've reinstalled the apps a few times.

    My mac seems to have a virus thats connected with a few apps i use and i can't use them without my computer glitching out even though i've reinstalled the apps a few times.  It's very frusterating especially when i'm doing someting when my  computer randomly freezes or justs logs out for no reason when i'm using the apps.

    Matthew,
    if you boot your MacBook Pro in Safe mode, do those apps still behave in the same way?

  • I have a virus on my iPad that sends out bogus emails to everyone in my contact list. I don't know where it came from (email, apps not from iTunes, etc) but it sits somewhere on my iPad. Does anyone know of a scanning app that will find and eliminate it?

    I have a virus on my iPad that sends out bogus emails (no subj and an URL that goes nowhere) to everyone in my contact list. I don't know how it got on my machine (email, non-iTunes apps, etc.) Does any one know of a scanning app that can find this virus and eliminate it? I have an iPad version 3 (WIFI) with 6.0.2 IOS. This scanner should be capable of running on my iPhone as well -- just in case it made it to to my other IOS machine. Thanks for your help! Steve

    The chances that it's a virus on your iPad or iPhone is very slim. Who is your mail provider? it's far more likely that your address has been spoofed and it's your mail service that has been compromised not your iDevice. I know my Yahoo mail was hacked and people in my address book received spam mails that I didn't send.
    have you changed the address on your e-mail account?

  • TS4079 I seem to have lost Siri from my iPad?

    I have been into General, Settings & I seem to have lost Siri from my iPad. I have tried pressing my button to get Siri but have been unsuccessful. Anyone able to help. Please.

    So, you've checked Settings>General>Siri>On. My only other suggestions would be to make sure you have the device set to a languge Siri understands. You could try restoring the iPad as new using iTunes.
    What is the model number? Settings>General>About

  • My safari browser seems to have been taken over by a malicious program called only-search.  Does any one know how to uninstall this program from safari?  I am running osX 10.10.

    My safari browser seems to have been taken over by a malicious program called only-search.  Does any one know how to uninstall this program from safari?  I am running osX 10.10.

    There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
    You may have installed the "VSearch" trojan. Remove it as follows.
    Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. These instructions are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Step 1
    From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot," "Trovi," or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
    Reset the home page and default search engine in all the browsers, if it was changed.
    Step 2
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "com.vsearch.agent.plist" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
    Repeat with each of these lines:
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
    Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
    /Library/Application Support/VSearch
    /System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
    Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
    The problem may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
    This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow.
    You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the Internet criminal behind VSearch has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

    Are you sure ? As far as I know an Apple ID can only be associated with one email address.
    Go to My Apple ID and click Manage your account

  • I have smurf village on my ipod and just downloaded new smurf village to my ipad, but it has reset my game on the ipod.  how to l fix this and can l get my original game position back.

    i have smurf village on my ipod and just downloaded new smurf village to my ipad, but it has reset my game on the ipod.  how to l fix this and can l get my original game position back.

    If it is the same app for the iPod and the iPad (universal or iPod/iPhone app) and not a iPad only app, the only way is to restore the iPad from the backup of the iPod.  That will wipe out all the app data currently on the iPad though.
    If the iPad is an iPad only app, then there is no way.

  • Hi, guys. I have some problems with my ipad. It has been switched off and it does nor respond on any actions

    hi, guys. I have some problems with my ipad. It has been switched off and it does not respond on any my actions

    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • I have purchased an ex-corporate ipad air. it has come locked to the previous users ID. The purchase is from a reputable auctioneer of which receipts can be produced. How can i process the unlocking/deactivation of the previous apple ID.

    I have purchased an ex-corporate ipad air. it has come locked to the previous users ID. The purchase is from a reputable auctioneer of which receipts can be produced. How can i process the unlocking/deactivation of the previous apple ID.

    Unfortunately the situation as we understand it is that Apple will unlock phones locked by the original owner if they themselves provide proof of purchase. They will not unlock it at all for a subsequent owner who has bought it second-hand, however legitimately.
    The auction house have sold you an item which is not working as described and your argument is with them. They must take it back and refund your money. If as you imply the previous owner is absolutely not available then this phone is permanently unusable and there is no way whatever round that.

  • Online Email seems to have a virus!

    I need help. My email online has a Trojan?? Everyday my account sends several hundred emails that are returned undeliverable, but I am not sending them. This is only online, because when I download to my home computer, this Trojan thing is caught and isolated. Can anyone help me with this?

    Can't seem to get help from verizon today but I did create some filters in webmail to move these delivery failures into the SpamDetector folder. 
     In webmail, click Settings in top menu bar. 
    Select email settings on left
    Select Filters
    add a filter where From contains [email protected]
    specify to move those mails to the SpamDetector or to delete
    add other filters as needed like where From contains [email protected], etc.
    Don't forget to Save
    Warning: doing this will stop real delivery failures from showing up in your inbox, so I suggest moving to spam and checking that occassionally.  Hopefully they will fix the problem and I can turn off the filter

  • After upgrading to Mountain Lion, I repurchased Garageband and I can't get passed the complete installation. I don't seem to have the "com.apple.garageband.plist" file that has been a common solution. Any suggestions?

    After upgrading to Mountain Lion, I repurchased Garageband and I can't get passed the complete installation. I've read through several posts that all reference the "com.apple.garageband.plist" solution. I don't seem to have the referenced .plist. Any solutions or suggestions?

    Did you upgrade from SnowLeopard?
    I can't get passed the complete installation
    What exactly is happening? Is GarageBand trying to download over and over again?
    all reference the "com.apple.garageband.plist" solution. I don't seem to have the referenced .plist.
    The property list stores your preferences, but also the settings from the last run of the application.  If that file is corrupted in some way, you might see third behaviour.
    You must have this file, for it will be recreated automatically, if it is missing, or you have a permissions problem with your user library.
    Perhaps you did look in he wrong place.
    in MacOS 10.7. or later the User Library is hidden. To find the Preferences Files use the Finder's "Go" menu:
    Quit GarageBand, if it is running.
    Click onto you Desktop to bring the Finder forward.
    In the Finder Menu press "Go" and hold down the "option/alt" key, until your user library appears in the drop-down menu
    Select "Library" and in the Finder window that opens navigate to the "Prederences" folder; move com.apple.garageband.plist to the Desktop.
    Log off and on again (don't skip that step!). Retry GarageBand and see if it GarageBand is now downloading the missing content properly.
    If that does not fix the problem, post back and explain in more detail what the download problem is.
    Why did you "repurchase" GarageBand? If you already owned GarageBand '11, it should be unnecessary.
    Regards

  • After downloading ios 7.2 my iPad mini seems to have a mind of its own. I'm not sure what to do to fix this problem. Can someone please help me.

    I updated my iPad mini to ios 7.0.2 couple days ago. Everything was fine until yesterday. I noticed that it seemed to have a mind of its own. It kept opening and closing app. I'm not sure what to don to fix this problem. I've tried restoring my iPad mini but that didn't help. Can someone please help me?

    Try This...
    Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...
    If no joy...
    Reset all settings
    Settings > General > Reset > Reset all Settings.
    This will return all iDevice settings to factory defaults... you will not lose any data.... But you will have to re-enter all of the device settings.
    If the issue persists...
    Connect to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and Restore

    Make sure you have the Latest Version of iTunes (v11) Installed on your computer

  • IOS said I have a virus on my iPad mini how do I get rid of it

    iiOS said I have a virus how do I get rid of this virus ? And what app do I need ?

    I hate to disagree with all of you who are saying there is no such thing as that. I have trying for the past 2 hours to fix my mom's ipad. Everytime she goes on Safari and opens clicks on a link. it launches another window for "
    adexchange.com"
    and few more windows open, and eventually it launches the App Store to purchase something.
    It is real. and I have cleared the cache and blocked the pop-ups. I would have attached the screenshots but there is not way to do that.
