IPad mini Safari Browser hijacked - any ideas to defend against intrusion?

My safari session was hijacked as in I was no longer in control of where the browser was going and typing. Almost like a remote control app.  When I proceeded to iPad settings the hacker attempted to stop me from shutting down JavaScript, block cookies and eventually shutting down
There was no Bluetooth connection open therefore no possibility of a nearby snooper and I was on a private home network.

You may want to check this out.  We were seeing login issues prior to finding this.

  • Safari status bar disappears.  I have tried clicking on show status bar and it will only appear when I move the cursor to the top of the screen.  I can not minimize the open page only full screen or close the browser.  Any idea how the rectify this

    Safari status bar disappears. I have tried clicking on show status bar, under the View tab and it will only appear when I move the cursor to the top of the screen. I can not minimize the open page, only full screen or close the browser. Any idea how the rectify this issue?

    One enters and exits full-screen with control+command+F keys. This is on the View menu in Safari. Optionally, the green traffic light in your browser title bar, if you roll over it, has the full-screen control it it. While in full-screen mode with Safari, moving your mouse pointer virtually up, and off-screen reveals the Safari title bar again, and you can click the green traffic light to exit full-screen mode.
    You can hide/show the status bar by simply typing command+/. This too, is on the Safari View menu. and in 10.10.1 — it works reliably for me.

  • HT1338 after an update safari stopped working any ideas on how to fix this?

    after an update safari stopped working any ideas on how to fix this?

    Use another browser to install Safari again.
    You can download Firefox for the Mac, place the download on a USB thumb drive stick it into the Mac and copy it, run the installer.
    Once FF is on, download a new copy of Safari from Apple's site.

  • Facebook videos not playing on iPad Air(safari browser)

    Why do my Facebook videos not play in iPad Air(safari browser) but same video play nicely on iPhone 4(safari browser). It asks me to download flash player to play on iPad but plays fine on iPhone without giving any prompt to download flash player.

    You should not have trouble playing using the FaceBook app.

  • My iPad mini no longer recognizes any wifi networks.

    My iPad mini no longer recognizes any wifi networks (at home, at friends houses, Starbucks, etc.) It's not that I can't connect to networks, the iPad won't even give me the option to connect to any networks anywhere I go. Nothing appears. Under Wi-Fi it's completely blank. So let me just get this out of the way.... I've researched every possible thing I could do and nothing has worked. So don't tell me to make sure my airplane mode isn't on, wifi is turned on or I'm in range, reset my network settings, reset my router, go to Starbucks, update iTunes etc. etc. because I've done all of that and more. We have 3 other iPads in the house who all connect to our home wifi just fine, so it's not that. I literally cannot find any solution to this problem and I find it ridiculous. Please help!

    So having done everything you have, it sounds like a potential hardware issue. You didn't mention a "restore" of the device, but I imagine you did that as well.   I would plan a trip to the Genius Bar. 
    By the way the work you have done is admirable.  You did a thorough troubleshooting process.

  • On my iPad mini, I cannot save any keyboard shortcut. Any clue ?

    I would like to know how to save shortcuts on iPad mini.
    I'm using this feature on iPhone and iPad, and its pretty useful.
    On my new iPad mini, I cannot save any keyboard shortcut. They disappear each time I try to create another one...
    Is it a known bug in 6.0.2 ?

    try splitting the keyboard? mine usually shows up when it does that.
    what i hate when that happens to other apps like if you use trillian or IM+ i cant paste anything, to go through all that trouble frustrates me.

    Below is how it is being done.  This worked perfectly for years. MS Office 2007 does complain that the file extension does not match the data format (it's a tab delimited text file but I'm pretending it's an Excel file so they'll be prompted to view it as a spreadsheet in Excel) but you just click open and it works fine.  This issue with IE is new.  Let me know if you have any more ideas.

  • I am using safari 6.0.3 I am unable to view PDF files online - I reset safari - did nothing - any ideas? thank you

    I am using safari 6.0.3 I am unable to view PDF files online - I reset safari - did nothing - any ideas? thank you

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • I was trying to update my IPAD 2 but it stucked, any idea what the problem can be

    I was trying to update my IPAD 2 but it stucked, any idea what the problem can be

    Stuck how ? What is showing on the iPad's screen, and/or in iTunes on your computer ?
    If the iPad won't start up then have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • I have an ipad 2 and it constantly buffers on I players such as itv and 4od. I have an iPhone 5 and on the same wifi it's perfectly fine yet my ipad won't play. Any ideas??

    I have an ipad 2 and it constantly buffers on I players such as itv and 4od. I have an iPhone 5 and on the same wifi it's perfectly fine yet my ipad won't play. Any ideas??

    Hi,
    Have you tried a reset?
    This solves a lot of these problems, and I'm not sure if this will work in your case, but give it a try. You hold down the sleep and home buttons at the same time. A slider will appear. Ignore it and keep holding both buttons down. After about 15 seconds the Apple logo will appear. See if that helps.
    You will not lose anything on your ipad when you do a reset. (A restore is a whole other issue!)
    The following link addresses your issue and offers some other possible solutions.

  • IPhoto 9.4.3 crashes when trying to sync photos from IPAD running 8.1.  Any ideas on why ?

    iPhoto 9.4.3 crashes when trying to sync photos from IPAD running 8.1.  Any ideas on why ?
    iPhoto runs and keeps trying to read the iPad photos cycling thru a lot of times eventually crashing.

    There may be a corrupted video or image file on your iPad.
    Try to download from the iPad using Image Capture instead and save the photos to a folder. If that succeeds, you can check the files for corruption before importing them to iPhoto.
