I would like to know is it safe to use my ipad without virus software installed on it

I would lime to know,is it safe to use my ipad to bank and shop without any virus software installed on it.

There is no real functioning  Antivirus for iPad because currently there are no viruses that can affect an iPad.
The closed nature of the operating system prevents the Antivirus from installing and running itself, as well as preventing any Antivirus from being able to scan the iPad's file system in search of a virus.
So in short, usage of the iPAd is as safe as you make it.
Like has been said, don't  bank in open networks, don't click on links in emails you don't recognize, don't browse sites that look shady or untrustworthy, etc...

  • I just bought and installed the Adobe Illustrator. I would like to know how long can I use the product before an extension is needed?

    I just bought and installed the Adobe Illustrator. I would like to know how long can I use the product before an extension is needed?  And on how many computers can I install this product? Thanks.

    What version exactly did you buy? If you bought CS6, then the license is perpetual and doesn't need any extension. If you bought CC, then you need to renew your plan every year. You can install each Adobe software on 2 machines with a single license for non-concurrent use.

    You cannot customize the Safari toolbar on the iPad.
    What you can do on the iPad is go to Settings>Safari>Always show Bookmarks Bar>On and that will add a bookmarks bar on to the Safari browser.

  • I would like to know if is possible to use the old iSight with my powerbook (mid 2009)?

    I would like to know if is possible to use the old iSight with the macbook pro (mid 2009)?

    Hi,
    If the Mac has Firewire then you can use the External iSight
    (Other readers
    If you have Firewire 800  then you will need an adapter to use the Firewire 400 camera - Search for the word Adpater and see posts by EZ Jim for more details)
    Don't daisy-chain the camera with Hard Drives
    The camera only uses a data rate of 200Mbps and the differences in Hard Drive data speeds can be an issue.
    The External iSIght should work no matter what Firmware is on there currently.
    There is some evidence that having the 1.0.3 version (Open the System Profiler > Hardware > Firewire) on the device makes it more compatible/useable in later OS versions
    The Updater is included in Tiger and Leopard. 
    Hard Drive/System/Library/CoreServices/iSight Updater/iSight Updater.app
    An OS Update could "trigger" this to be run if you have Tiger
    It can also be run as a Standalone.
    It is Not present in Snow Leopard and although the documentation says this Firmware is an Audio update some people report that the camera needs the 1.0.3 Firmware to run.
    (that could simply be the "Flashing" the Memory involved resets it enough to work)

    If you used your 10.6 install disk to wipe the drive completely:
    Then your going to have to install 10.6, Software Update to 10.6.8, go to the AppStore and log in with your AppleID and hold on option key while clicking on Purchases to redownload the Lion installer like you did before.
    When you install OS X Lion it creates a hidden partition on the drive that you can hold command and r (option) keys down while booting to load it, it's called Recovery HD.
    It has Disk Utility which can erase the Macintosh HD and also install Lion again from Apple's servers with your AppleID and password.
    Your AppleID ties you to the install OS X, because it was used to purchase it earlier from AppStore.

  • I would like to know what app can I use on a plane to find out on a map where the plane is flying over?

    I have been many times on a plane and when I look out the window and I see something interesting I would like to know where is that place on a map, but all the map applications that I have require an internet connection to display the map.  I have downloaded some offline maps but they don't use the GPS to locate the place in the map.
    Please tell me if there is an app that has offline maps where I can locate my current position while I am on a plane without internet connection.

    TomTom, Garmin and others do this. But your problem is when you put your iPad in Airplane mode you will turn off the GPS chip.

  • Ihave a virgin super hub and would like to know what firewall settings to use?

    I have a Virgin Media Super hub and would like to know what firewall settings to put it on, low, medium or high or whether it makes any difference? I am trying to make my network and Mac as secure as possible and need help, i've always had PCs.

    The Mac operating system has very good firewall built-in to Apple menu -> System Preferences -> File Sharing.
    That said, if your hub has 802.11g or higher WiFi, be sure to use WPA2 security, and see if there are settings to prevent ping attacks.
    If your hub is only ethernet, find out what settings to ues to prevent ping attacks.
    802.11b WiFi is fairly insecure, and you are better to use ethernet instead, if that's all it provides.

  • I would like to know what application I should use for this specific job.  I have 6 photos in Iphoto, and I would like to print them out on one piece of paper with the title and key words showing.  Please help.

    My objective is to print photos on on 8 1/2 x 11 sheets of paper (4 per page).  I want to include the photo title and the photo key words.
    I am not sure how to go about doing this.

    In iPhoto, create an album with the images you want to print.
    Once created, open the album and select all the images (type Command + A)
    Go to the menu View and make sure Titles and Keywords are checked.
    Go to the menu File > Print
    Choose Contact Sheet
    In the lower right corner press the customize button
    In the next window that opens, at the bottom of the window change the column slider to "2"
    You should be good to go. If OK, then press Print at the bottom right corner of the window.

    Hello,
    See if the Disk is issuing any S.M.A.R.T errors in Disk Utility...
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH7029
    Open Activity Monitor in Applications>Utilities, select All Processes & sort on CPU%, any indications there?
    How much free RAM & free Disk space do you have also, click on the Memory & Disk Usage Tabs.
    Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
    In the Memory tab of Activity Monitor, are there a lot of Pageouts?
    Also...
    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
    Reboot, test again.
    If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts (Users & Groups in later OSX versions)>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed. Or an errant process eating up RAM.
    Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
    Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

    I'm sorry I thought I was already doing that lol. Ok so I paid for more storage for my iCloud which was $3.99 but I'm releaizing that im going to have pay the $27.99 payment to get what I want I guess. So I would like to know if that payment can be stopped or forward to the other $27.99 payment I'll be making. I'm also not sure, but think I am lol, that if I were to pay the $27.99 if that applies to my iPhone and my iPad ? Or would that have to be two payments? Which I'm pretty sure its not but rather be safe than sorry. Thanks for your help. All i want to do is to able to store my music in iCloud so I can upgrade my phone to the new iOS 8.1.1 which I'm pretty sure I have room for but I'd rather just pay the $.399 than the $27.99 cuz. I don't need to listen to the radio lol

  • HT5260 Hi, my name is Gerard and my iphoto library is getting very large I would like to know if I can store all or most of my photos in a external hard drive and access them from Aperture?

    Hi, my name is Gerard and my iphoto library is getting very large I would like to know if I can store all or most of my photos in a external hard drive and access them from Aperture?

    Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
    And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
    And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive
