IPod Touch got virus from computer?

Hi all!!
Well I got a problem again. I used to charge my iPod with a wallchager (not from apple) but for 1 week i charged it with my PC. Then i went back to my wallcharger but then my problems started. After charging sometime an error comes. "Charging is not supported with this accessory". I plug it out then back in and it charges normally again. Minutes later a fully charged indicator appears but it is not fully charged!! I have never had this problem before with my wallcharger. And its not my wallcharges problem. I tested it on my iphone and charged normally. The next day i found so many viruses on my pc. Did my ipod touch get infected?!? Thank you.

No. it did not get a virus. There are no viruses affecting ios devices.
Clean out your dock connector.

Can iPod touches get viruses.
Please help I'm really worried

Thank you so much. Seriously I was so scared.
Thanks again you really helped me out.

My iPod Touch (5th generation) is not responding to my touch. There are also several colored lines in the background of my screen. Virus?

Since my iPod isn't responding to my touch, I can't switch it off or restart it as I normally would. I've tried doing the hold-down-the-sleep-button-and-the-home-button-for-ten-seconds thing but when the Apple logo appears, it's either completely pink in color or there are these vertical colored lines in the background. When the lock screen reappears, sometimes it looks completely normal (but it still doesn't respond), or everything's blurred, or there are these weird colours in the background, or those lines I mentioned before, but most of the times, it's completely dark and I can onlu see this moving flash at the bottom of the screen (indicating the presence of the slide to unlock thing).
My computer was recently reformatted because it had had a virus, so I'm worried my iPod has gotten the virus too. I have some data on there that I really can't lose. (I haven't backed up this data because my computer had been on the fritz for the past two weeks).
Is taking it to an Apple Help Centre the only cure? (I purchased the item in March 2013; Is there any chance I can get it replaced for free?) I tried moving the photos from the device to my PC but it says there are no photos in my device. (I've moved my photos before when I'd forgotten my password and was about to reset it.)
I would really like some advice ASAP because if it is a virus, the longer I keep it untouched, the more havoc it causes. i fear.

I do not think talking to Apple will do more than the following:
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Due to virus attack i had to format my windows laptop...now when i installed new itunes software i had to sync my ipod touch again but it says that if do the same then the data on my ipod touch will be erased....how should i protect my ipod touch data?

due to the virus attack i had to format my windows laptop...now when i installed new itunes software i had to sync my ipod touch again but it says that if i do it then the data present on my ipod touch will be erased as it is syncd to some older library... how should i protect my ipod touch data?

With all you media (apps, music) in the iTunes library connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup. Do that by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up. Then restore the iPod from that backup.
Note the the iPod backup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like apps and music.

My current laptop is about 3 years old. Got a virus and had to wipe it clean. Now my IPod touch 2nd generation won't recognize this computer as the one it was originally assigned to. what do I need to do to safeguard my tunes on the Ipod touch.

My current laptop is about three years old and got a virus. Had to wipe it clean. Now my Ipod Touch-2nd generation is not recognizing it as the primary original computer and says it is registered on another computer. What can I do to safeguard my library of songs on the Ipodtouch. Any suggestions?

Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your iPod. Only if you back up your iPod manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Do this:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your iPod to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your ipod without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your device for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPod for the first time.
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread:http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

Can I get a virus on my iPod touch?

my family has a Mac and my sister has an apple laptop and we just found out that we have a virus some how coming through to our wifi box. no one knows that I am using the wifi on my iPod touch but I wanted to know if I can get a virus on my iPod/ if it came from my iPod? and how can I prevent and if so get rid of it? please help ASAP!

I have not heard of an virus that can infect an unjailbroken iPod. However, if you get an infected item on your iPod and transfer that to your computer that may infect the computer if opens or something similar on the computer.

I have an Ipod touch that was used on one computer but the computer got a virus and crashed and got rid of everything. I have a new computer now so how do I transfer the music from the Ipod touch to the itunes on the new computer without losing the music

I have an Ipod touch that was recognized as its host on one computer but the computer got a viruse and crashed and got rid of everying. I have a new computer with itunes now, so how do I have the ipod touch recognize this computer as its host computer without losing all of the music I have on the ipod touch?

Can you get an virus or trojaner through the connection-cable (PC) from your iPod touch?

I had an trojaner on my PC earlier and my iPod touch 4G was connected to my computer. Is it possible for the trojaner or viruses in general to make their way through the connection cable or something? If a photo or something wasn't infected. I mean sync-wise, etc.

It would be very difficult for a virus or trojan to get from the iPod to your PC via USB. Attaching a virus to any media file such as a photo or music track is very, very difficult, and all known exploits that would do this were blocked a long time ago. Attaching a trojan would not be possible. Unless there's a new exploit I haven't heard of, only if a trojan program was attached to an email and from there transferred to an app that could then be synced to your computer would it be possible malware come from your iPod. I think that rather unlikely and that your trojan got into your PC from some other source.
Regards.

Why is no one worried about virus software for ipod touch

Everyone seems to think no virus scan is required for ipod touch.If you surf the web why would no virus be able to attack?

It's hard (not impossible), to make virus for Apple's software, so Apple or antivirus developers, don't really care about fighting them.
Don't forget to rate the answer as helpful or correct
Not exactly... So typically the normal "hacker" is looking for something, like passcodes to banking or other personal information, maybe a keylogger, or something to that effect. That's a lot of why windows is targeted. For one, its the widest audience, for two it is rather unsecure. Apple goes to great length to ensure its software (Mac OS and iOS) is secure. They provide you with warnings and require admistrative approval to do certain things that a malicious software may want to do. So, again if you're actively engaged and don't do stupid things on the internet you'll be fine.

Can an ipod touch get a virus

I have an iPod touch 4th gen. Random applications will open and/or close. If I'm connected to Internet my e-mail will open and randomly start executing functions. Its almost like someone is controlling my pod. It doesn't do it all the time but is becoming more frequent. I have restored it to factory to try and fix the problem but it has not helped. I know this sounds nuts but I am at my wits end. please help! It does this even if I am in airplane mode! It will open applications and start executing random functions. Please help!

Your iPod Touch has a hardware problem not a virus. Contact Apple Support for replacement.

Is it possible for a iPod touch to get a virus when downloading free games off the internet? If yes, is there an antivirus program to protect the ipod. and can some of the current apps be saved from the virus damage?

I had one game permanently just stop working, it usually does crash, but that last time it just went bad, I don't know the reason, I tried powering off iPod, relaunching game, but the game never worked again. I think it corrupted its own save file or some of its own data.
Have you tried another game or app, do those work? If they do, then I guess you know where the problem lies, but if they all stop working, then what about apps, can apps launch?
Lastly, apps from the app store are checked by Apple, so they are clean.

My iPod touch is messing up. May be a virus

My iPod touch 4th generation is a year old and just recently started messing up. it selects things on its own and sometimes or in certain areas won't respond to my touch

iOS devices do not get Viruses...
The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
Restart... Reset... Restore from Backup... Restore as New...
Try a Reset...
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.
Restart / Reset

Ipod touch virus

Is it possible for the Ipod touch to get a virus on the internet? Like a email with a Spam? Or an app that you downloaded had a a virus?
If so is there an anti-virus program for the ipod touch?
I don't want my ipod to crash.

Currently, there are no viruses which affect the Touch. Therefore, no anti-virus software.
All computers (and the Touch is a computer of sorts) will crash at some point. That's why you should have all your data backed up.
Best of luck.
