When I used Safari to go to the American Express web site a request came up asking me to register my Amex card. I thought this was strange so I called Amex and they saw it when they went online and they said it was my iPad that had been hacked. Is there

When I used Safari to go to the American Express web site a request came up asking me to register my Amex card. I thought this was strange so I called Amex and they saw it when they went online and they said it was my iPad that had been hacked. Is there an app to protect my iPad when I am online with sensitive information?

I located some suggestions for flushing the cache.
There are really three ways you can flush the DNS cache on your iPad.
1) Simply turn the iPad off and on again using the power button. A simple reboot will go a long way.
2) Turning on Airplane mode and then turning it off again will also clear the DNS cache and should be enough to fix the problem. Tap on your Settings icon, then swipe Airplane mode to On and then back off. Since Airplane mode disables the wireless features of your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to comply with airline regulations, this will generally do the trick.
The third method would reset all your network settings and I'm pretty sure you don't want to do that right now.

I think my iPad mini has been hacked

By the way I think through wifi someone jail broke the iPad installed several different untraceable softwares to have access at any time.
Until I learn more about how Macs are programmed I could not say much more. I know it's done through the bios or dbase through a PC. Not sure how to get to bios on a tablet. However I could learn it fairly quickly. However I think the hacker is hidden so either way it's going to be hard to find it.
I think the setup originates from a Mac computer so you would do a diagnosis from the Mac computer and overwrite it on the tablet. I doubt you can go piece by piece and discover new software added to determine how then to remove it.
I think that's something apple should know and do cause obviously they can be hacked.

IPad email has been hacked

My iPad email seems to have been hacked. I have searched for other cases where this has happened, but I only see items where the respondent has said that the iPad cannot be hacked... So I will explain why I think mine really has been hacked.
- 2 days ago at 6.15 am when I was asleep and my iPad was safely locked up at home an email was sent via my yahoo email account.
- the email was address to myself and 3 contacts I know.
- I saw the email later in the day because, of course, it landed in my inbox (I actually saw it first on another device)
- over the years I have seen plenty of spam and spoofed email, but this looked different
- firstly, one of the addressee emails was actually wrong and I also had a bounce email to say that yahoo had failed to deliver the message
- so my first thought was that someone had hacked my yahoo account and sent the email from there. I therefore changed the password, hoping this would put a stop to the problem
- in retrospect I checked the sent items box online in my yahoo mail account. The offending message was indeed there, so no doubt that it had been sent via the account. At that point I thought it likely that the hack had been via the online email service and not from any of my devices.
- however, still curious I started checking all my devices (all Apple: 2 macs, 2 iPhones and finally the iPad)
- all the devices showed no suspicious sent item except my iPad which showed the rogue email in the sent items folder under my email account details
So, the questions now are:
- how did this happen?
- how do I stop this happening again?
Ps. The rogue email contained a link to the following URL
//ceramiccoatingsfl.com/www.cnbcnews.com.reportage24h.today.viewprofit37.php

Unless the iPad was out of your sight long enough for someone to send the email it was not hacked. Its just not physcally possible to hack an iPad and then remotely send the email.
What happened is that since your iPad is synced to your Yahoo mail, any activity on your account is mirrored on the iPad. so when the email was sent thorugh your Yahoo account, the sent mail is put in your Sent folder which is mirrored to your iPad.

IPad / Apple ID / iCloud hacked?

Hey all,
A family member of me had following strange situation.
We used the iPad all evening long, but suddenly the iPad didn't accept the passcode anymore.
After several tries, blocking the iPad for 1, 15, 60 minutes... we did a full restore of the iPad via iTunes.
After rebooting, selecting the option to put the iCloud copy back, the login box came up to connect to the Apple ID.
The strange thing was that there was already an emaladdress filled in... an unknown emailaddress, not linked to the Apple ID and certainly not from the person of the account.
Now my question is, is it possible that the account has been hacked, giving someone access to iCloud.com and the Find My iPhone option? The only reason I can imagine for the iPad being blocked is that someone got access to Find My iPhone and reported the iPad as lost...
But how does the e-mail adress get into the iPad after selecting an iCloud copy?
Thanks,
Brgds,
Frederick

It's called an "activation lock." It's an anti-theft mechanism. It makes the iPad/iPod/iPhone worthless to a thief. Having said that, there are issues faced by legitimate owners. In those instances, Apple will remove the lock if AND ONLY IF the owner provides a government photo ID and incontrovertible proof (i.e., proof that will hold up in court) that he/she is the owner. This proof must be trackable back to the original owner.
If an Apple Store is convenient, make an appointment with the resident "Genius." Otherwise, you must ship the device to Apple. To make arrangements, call 800-275-2273 in the U.S.A. and I think Canada.

Everytime i try to call using facetime, it says it might be a phising website, no idea what is this, this never happened before, is it possible that my ipad mini could havebeen hacked. Please help

I have been using facetime for past two months and everything was working fine, but yeaterday when i tried calling someone using facetime the a meesage appeared which said " warning this might be a phishing website" then two options are give either to ignore or go back.

I am worried that someone has hacked my webcam on my iPad is that possible? And if so is there a way to get rid of it without having to go into the store?

IS there a way to hack into someone iPad webcamera? and if there is can you get rid of it by yourself and not have to go into the store? Thank you sooo much!

Unless you have jailbroken your iPad, no one has hacked into it. If that isn't enough to allay your fears, put a piece of masking tape over it. There is no way to get rid of the camera, even if you take it to the Apple Store.
Best of luck.

Is it possible someone hacked my husband's ipad and had an entire conversation using his photos?????

has anyone had this problem???? I figured out that because my husband updated my phone using his apple id, I received an entire conversation between "him" and someone else.... He says his ipad must have been hacked... can someone do this? can they use his photos in the message? any help would be appreciated!

You'll probably have seen the answers to similar queries which have popped up. The only likely alternative to it actually being him is that someone else has got hold of his appleid and password, and is sending and receiving imessages, and accessing photos in his Photostream.

Error 3259 and ipad 2 restore

I have an ipad 2 and the current version of itunes. All of this happened yesterday after I tried to update to the newest IOS.
The ipad screen shows the connect to itunes screen. When connected to itunes it wants to restore but wants to restore with update. Every time I run update it runs about 1/2 way and then goes to error 3259.
The itunes screen on the computer shows the ipad as n/a serial number and from the itunes menu I cannot restore it at all. The ipad hasn't been hacked and ran perfectly before I started the update yesterday morning.
Help?!?!?

If you've tried a different computer and different cable and still get the 4013 error then, from iOS: Restore errors 4005, 4013, and 4014 :
If you continue to see error 4005, 4013, or 4014 when you restore your device, contact Apple for support.

Have been advised by my email provider (recently blocked account requiring password reset) that they will only reset the password after a proven anti viru and malware scan has been done on ipad and iphone. Is this necessary and if so what do i use

As KP has pointed out, there actually aren't any anti-virus programs in the App Store. There are a few that allow you to scan e-mail or stuff like that, and a few that provide you with information about malware and new threats for other systems. But none are available that can scan your iOS device for malware, because the security restrictions in iOS do not permit any apps to have that kind of access to anything. Which means that you also cannot be infected with a virus (unless you have jailbroken your device).
If your account got compromised, that had nothing whatsoever to do with your iPad. Someone simply hacked it remotely. Happens all the time. It's really amazing that, in this day and age, e-mail providers are so ignorant of technology and how their own systems get compromised that they would try to require you to run software that does not exist!

How do you Install iBooks on iPad 1?

I restored my old iPad version1 to factory settings and gave it to my father in law. I then let him start a new apple id. I was showing him how to download from the app store, and tried installing iBooks, but I am unable to Install a version of ibooks that is compatible with iOS 5.1.1. I just get an error message telling me that iBooks 3 is incompatible with the iPad, since it cannot run iOS 7.
How can I install a compatible iBooks version for iPad 1 iOS 5.1.1 from the app store? (For a new install on new apple Id)
I realize if I use my own apple id and restore my old backup, when I update an existing app, iTunes will ask if I want to update to an older version, but I don't want to do that.
Is Apple forcing me to junk this old ipad by not allowing me to install iPad apps if they have been updated to version 7? If so, you are making a good case for not buying any further Apple products. Microsoft is still supporting Windows XP, 12 years after it was released. My iPad is just over 3 years and now it's ready for the junk pile?

If your iPad has not been Hacked / Modified / Jailbroken... Then Updating the iOS will not be a problem.
Connect to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and “ Check for Updates “...
See the Using iTunes Section Here...
How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
To enable iCloud on your Windows PC, first set up iCloud on your other devices, then install the iCloud Control Panel for Windows...

Can you do visual mirroring with an ipad 2 wirelessly?

Is there a way to do this wirelessly yet?
Are there particular projectors spec'd to do this?

Possible, but not fun.

Basically, you're doubling the weight of the iPad. This is definitely a science project at this time. I'm sure someone will come up with a much sleeker option, but if you really need it now, this is the path you're looking at.

How to open hidden files on iPad 2

I have iPad 2 and I want to access my hidden files. I have been searching in the internet and looked all over for 3 hours but yet nothing. So I thought I may ask here but, I want to open them WITHOUT jailbreaking. I have searched in the internet and I think I understood some stuff. I found out that I can put some commands in something called terminals or finder etc.. I looked around the internet but I did not understand what is that terminal at all. Then when I searched a bit the only thing I found about finder is that I must jailbreak my ipad first and then some program called.... cidney or something will be installed and when I open it I will be download finder app. However, I want to open the hidden files and be able to copy files from FileManager or (one of the two, it does not matter) without jailbreaking. So please tell me how to do it step by step since I am not any professional on iPad and I have it since 2 weeks only.

First, there are only two ways to get new, authorized apps onto an iPad.
One is to download the app from iTunes on a computer, connect the iPad and sync the app over to it.
Two is to use the App store on the iPad itself and download directly to it from there.
If he did anything else to put these apps on your iPad, then he already jailbroke it, as that is the only way he could have bypassed the two officially supported means I just mentioned.
Ordinarily, to delete an iPad app, you would tap and hold the app until it wiggles and a red/white "X" appears in the app icon - then tap the "X" and it is deleted.
If he did not install these apps via iTunes or the App store on the iPad, you have a hacked device, and you should try a restore to undo the jailbreak. Be aware that it is sometimes impossible to undo a jailbreak, and the result is a ruined device.

My iPad Mini 1 has some kind of error.

While I am using it, sometimes it moves on its own. Is it possible the iPad mini can be hacked and someone can use it remotely? Please help.

Hi JimHdk,
Thank you for your advise. Experienced this problem for quite some time now. I was afraid it might press or hit the purchase button. Its like, it has a mind on its own. Will have this checked at the apple store though. Thank you.

HT204088 I just got unauthorized app purchases on my ipad which I have not used for some time. Prior to that I got a few requests to change my password at my email. How do I contact apple to report fraud?

I need to contact Apple for unauthorized charges on my ipad. It got hacked.
Does anyone know which email I can contact apple on? The site is just endless links with no direct email help.

You need to get control of your Apple ID back, change the password;
Manage your Apple ID -

Then contact iTunes Support, which can only be done by email;
