Is it possible for an itouch5 to get hacked?

I was connected to a wifi and then left my Itouch in front of me and left my blog running.  No one touched it during that time. When I looked at it to check the time, my blog was trying to post something by itself and i could not use the assistive touch because it was as if someone else was using the itouch. I pressed the home button and then my apps started opening by themselves and then started shaking as if someone wanted to delete or move these apps. Then my music opened by itself. I clicked on settings and saw that my wifi connection had changed to another connection which was password protected. I immediately turned my touch off. When i opened it again, things were back to normal. But then I don't lnow what happened because people say that it's impossible for an itouch to get hacked. And now I'm scared because I don't know if whoever was responsible for this was able to get information and passwords from my itouch. I'm the only one who uses my itouch. 

If it is an old iPod, check my earlier post about the battery. The battery may be at the end of its life.
If it is not the battery it may have been an unexpected quant from outer space: do the reset by holding the Power and Home buttons at the same time for about 15 secs until you see the white apple logo appear, then let it start again (you can do that once in a while even without having problems, it "cleans" everything).
I am sure that a hack as you describe is impossible.
The "hack" that xxmonkeyxxx describes seen on Youtube is probably a break-in in the iOS, after which you can do things that are not allowed in iOS, it "bricks" your iDevice. I am trying to avoid the word because it will terminate this thread...

  • Is it possible for your ipad to get hacked by and outside source?

    I went to use my ipad and it was disabled which was strange because i have it on my at all times and no one knows the passcode but me. I did a wipe on it and when i went to reset it, icloud was asking for a different email than mine to restart it. An email i have never seen before or know anyone who has it. I logged onto my laptop to completely restore it but im wondering if someone hacked my ipad...

    Doubtful, if you never lost control of it.
    Oh, unless you've jailbroken your iPad. Then it happens, and that's on you.

  • Is it possible for Ipod touch to get hacked?

    I seriously feel like my Ipod touch was hacked.
    When I woke up this morning, it was acting weird. There were a whole bunch of apps open that I had not opened. When I tried to update my apps, it was saying that my Apple ID had been locked for saftey reasons. I reset the password and all that. There were also apps downloaded and webpages saved to my home screen that I did not do. Now I just tried to check my bank account through the app, and it's saying that my account is locked out. I seriously worried now.
    Has this happened to anyone else?

    It sounds like somebody hacked inot places where account infromation was stored.  I doubt it was the iPod since the iPod does not contain your iTunes account password. 

  • Is it possible for my email to be hacked through my phone and pictures to be sent

    Is it possible for my iPhone to be hacked and messages to be sent out through my email attaching pictures to the sent message?

    Not unless your phone is jailbroken. It is possible for email to be hacked, but not directly on the phone, it would be through the server. Of course, if someone had possession of your device, they could get into your mail.

  • Is it possible for your iphone to be hacked so that someone can text message people in your contacts (and send pictures)? If so can you trace the hack

    Is it possible for your iphone to be hacked so that someone can text message people in your contacts (and send pictures)? If so can you trace the hack and how can you stop it?

    Ugh I am not doing any of those things.
    I do have alot of issues with my email getting hacked often, could that have anything to do with it?
    I also do not believe my phone is jailbroken but to be honest I am not very smart with this.
    Basically text messages (inappropriate) were sent to a person in my contacts...and a text message conversation was had for about 30 that I had no idea was even going on. I noticed it on my ipad later (they are synced and normally recieve all the same messages etc). The conversation then just ended out of no where.
    Very odd...and I am nervous that someone has control over my phone.

    Is it possible for your iphone to be hacked?so that someone can text message people in your contacts (and send pictures)? If so can you trace the hack and how can you stop it?

    As has been said, the iPhone itself can't be hacked this way, as far as anyone currently knows.
    Your Apple ID is another story. Any kind of online accounts can be hacked, and Apple IDs are no exception. If someone hacks your Apple ID, they could see all the data in the associated iCloud account, such as contacts, and could send those contacts texts that would appear to come from you. If that were to happen, you should see an alert on your other devices that your Apple ID is being used with Messages on a new device.
    If you have not seen that alert, it's unlikely that this problem is occurring due to such a hack. In that case, it would be more likely that either someone has gotten their hands on your phone, or some other Apple device registered to your Apple ID, and has used it to send that message. Or that the person claiming you sent a picture is lying for some reason.
    If you believe your Apple ID may have been hacked, you should change your password immediately (at appleid.apple.com). You should also seriously consider enabling two-factor authentication on your Apple ID.

  • Is it possible for macbook air to get some some viruses?

    Is it possible that Macbook air can get viruses from downloaded sites.

    I'm unclear on what you mean. If you accidentally downloaded something from a bad site, but dragged the file to the trash rather than opening it, then you're fine. If you opened the file first, then that may mean you have a problem, but that will depend on what the file was and where you downloaded it from.

  • Is it possible for my Iphone4 to be hacked and if so how do i make it so that it is no longer hacked

    I Belive that my iphone 4 messages have be hacked. how can I be sure to fix this problem or tell for sure?

    are you talking about emails or text message.
    Only way your phone can be hacked is if  your phone is jailbroken.
    If it's email just change your password.
    You can't get hacked thru text.

  • Is It Possible For An iPhone To Get A Virus?

    I'm just curious about this, i'm sure many people are too. Is it possible? I personally don't think so since Apple has such tight security. Example: Most, if not all apps (i'm not sure on this) can only be downloaded through the App Store, which Apple has to approve of first. You can't just go to a website and download anything on your phone, eliminating virus risk from web browsing. And email is on your phone, so that wouldn't be easy to hack. Not to mention countless firewalls. So is it possible? I've never heard of it. (this being for non-jailbroken devices which (jailbreaking) may not me discussed)

    No, iPhones/iPads can't get viruses.

  • Is it possible for an iphone to get a virus from the computer?

    let's say a computer has a virus and you connected your iphone to that computer. is it possible that the virus will transfer/replicate from the computer to the iphone?

    You will get a lot of no answers to this.
    With that said, I will say no too, but that doesn't mean it isn't possible. As time has taught everyone, no device (computer, phone, etc) is safe. Currently as designed there isn't any way for one to infect the phone from just plugging in the phone by the nature of how it all works, however, that doesn't mean one day somebody can find some flaw and release one. Just currently there is nothing. You are more likely to get something from just browsing the web on the phone or being on somebody's wifi network and them exploiting some other security flaw.
    While all known flaws are patched (if you are up to date) that doesn't mean another one won't be found.

  • Is it possible for my iPad to get a virus

    I had a pop-up say I had 4 virus'  is that possible? Or would it have just been a link to get me somewhere else????

    It's a well known scam to get you to download junk software or at worst actual malware.
    Ignore it.

  • Is it possible for an ipad to get a virus, or be hacked?

    My email doesn't load anymore unless I reboot my ipad.  Also, when I went into some accounts to pay bills, I was getting information that wasn't mine, or not getting "continue" buttons and such.  The pages weren't loading correctly.  Things worked fine on my husband's ipad.  Any advise would be welcome.  Maybe have it reset back to factory settings, or wiped?  Who do I see for this?

    Only if you jailbreak can you get a virus or malware.

    Try this first - 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 - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

  • Is it possible for an ipad to get a scratch if theres a screen protector on

    i already asked this and got about two answers which were hvery helpful but just not answered the question , bascially i unboxed the new ipad 3 and literally straight away apllied the screen prtoector, an the next day which is today there seems to be quite a few scratches, are those scrateches on the screen protector or on the screen? plz help
    p.s i treat this thing like it is my heart like gold , i treat it becasuy i spent all my pocket money on it , i have a case and sa screen protector so it surely cannot be a scratcth on the screen right,  i need reassurance is it a scratch on the screen or on the protector plzz answer :'(

    sorry to disturb you - but if taken a closer look and the "scratches" seem to be extremely thin and some of them go off onto the white bezel and still refelct light, sir im starting to think its on the screen protector and not on the screen because some of them go off on the white and i can assure you neither the screen or the white bezel has been touched by myself or anyone else - YES I maybe getting somewhere

  • Is it possible for a 3rd party program to create a list item in sharepoint online 2013?

    I have limited experience with the online version of sp. I've been asked if it's possible for a 3rd party app that our company is beginning to use, to programmatically add items to a list.    I don't have any details about the program yet,
    but I've been told that a batch would run at night and they would like it to create items in a SP list and pass along several fields of metadata.   
    Is this possible in the online version?   I know that Power Shell can do this, but is it possible for an app to get access to run a PS command?   
    thanks,

    Yes.
    There is something known as the Client Side (?) Object Model or CSOM. This allows you to create list items, lists and even sites with .Net code from a non server machine.
    You could run 'classic' Server Object Model  C#/VB.NET or PowerShell to do the same job and it might be easier as there's alot more material out there on how to do it. On the other hand it's probably going to make your solution more complicated and
    harder to maintain over the long run.
    This article introduces you to the CSOM and how to use it and is applicable to O365 as well as on-premise:

    As an alternative you can look at the REST API which allows you to use web services to interact with SharePoint.
