Is it possible for the ipad to get a virus/malware?

You don't need antivirus as long as you don't Jailbreak your iPad.
Currently there's no known virus affecting iPad.

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 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.

Can the ipad 2 get a virus?

can the ipad 2 get a virus?

I'm not aware that there are currently any iOS viruses. There are no anti-virus app for the iPad as far as I know, the closest being VirusBarrier which is designed to stop the potential transfer of viruses/malware back to your computer from PDFs etc when you sync/copy content back to your computer

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 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 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 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 to have two USB drives for the IPad? I want to bring RAW photo files from my camera, through the IPad and back to an external hard drive. One of my cameras does not use an SD card. How can I do this?

Is it possible to have two USB drives for the IPad? I want to bring RAW files from my camera through the IPad and out to an external hard drive. One of my cameras has an SD card but the other one doesn't have a card that would fit in any of the camera devices I've seen on line. Realted to this, I bought the IPad camera accessory. Can I put the SD card in the device and also hook the external hard drive to the USB port of the accessory and download from the camera to the hard drive? Can I put Lightroom or the Nikon photo editing software on the IPad? Right now I carry a PC laptop and external hard drives with me on wildernes trips. Internet and WiFi are not available. Because I shoot so many photos and they're in RAW I need to download from the camera to the external drive because I run out of memory on the PC (and it has much more memory than the IPad). I have Nikon NX software and lightroom on my PC. I'd love to be able to reduce the weight I carry by using the IPad to edit my photos each night while on trips. Is this possible and how would I do it? I'd appreciate any guidance.

No, the camera connection kit only supports the copying of photos and videos to the Photos app, it doesn't support copying content off the iPad. For your second camera instead of the SD reader part of the kit, does the iPad to camera cable not work with it for direct transfer to the iPad ?
For Lightroom and Nikon software again no - you can only install apps that are available in the iTunes app store on your computer and the App Store app on the iPad, 'normal' PC and Mac (OS X) software are not compatible with the iPad (iOS). There are some apps that perform fairly basic editing functions that are available in the store, but nothing as sophisticated as, for example, Lightroom.

BEST WAY TO GET BOOKS FOR THE IPAD

What is the best way to get books on my ipad ?? Do i use Ibooks or another site? Also do i use itunes cards or do i need ibooks cards ?? instead of a credit card.

ebooks tend to have digital rights management on them, so if you buy an ebook from a site then you can generally only read them in that store's app / e-reader - so books bought from Apple can only be read in the iBooks app, books from Amazon in the Kindle app / e-reader etc. As to which is best, then it depends on what books you want, who sells them and their prices, and whether they have an app for the iPad where you can read them. If you buy from Apple then you can use iTunes cards or your credit card.

Hello Jesslocko,
Before following the iPad Restore process make sure you have updated version of iTunes installed on your computer, to check that Open iTunes on your computer click on Help and then check for updates ( If there is any updates available then Install it ) and If you do not have iTunes Installed or if you want to directly update the version of your iTunes then Download and Install iTunes from here : http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
1. Make sure your device (iPad) is unplugged (Disconnected) from your computer (this should be the computer that you use to sync your iPad or you can use any other computer with iTunes installed in it). You can leave the USB cable connected to your iPad though.
2. Turn off your iPad. Press and hold the power button on the top edge until a slider appears. Slide it from left to right to power off your device. If the slider doesn't appear (because your iOS device has frozen up) then hold the power and Home buttons down until the iPhone or iPad turns off.
3. Ensure your device has a decent amount of charge. Leave it plugged in to the mains for 10 minutes or so if you see the flat battery icon. (iPad low battery)
4. Hold down the Home button (the round button at the bottom of your iPad screen) and connect the other end of USB cable to the computer this should cause your iPhone or iPad to turn on. Keep holding the Home button until you see the iTunes and USB cable images on your iPad screen, then release the button.(iPad recovery mode)
5. In iTunes (launch the application if it isn't running on your Computer), you should see a message saying an iPad has been found in recovery mode.
6. Click OK and then click on Restore to bring your iPad to Factory settings
