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.

    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.

    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 your ipod just to stop working and lose all your music

    I lost all my music and my itunes isnt reading that my ipod is hooked up to the computer

    Is it possible for your ipod just to stop working and lose all your music
    The answer to that is yes... Having the data on the device alone is a recipe for disappointment.

  • 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 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 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 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 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 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 an ipad camera  to have a virus?

    On my ipad a message opened it said your " ipad camara has 3 virus,If you want to remove this virus you can click below" it also said  if you don't do this your ipad camera photos might be hacked .is it possible for an ipad camera to have a virus please respond and leave tips to remove this virus

    This is just a website scam that's going around right now. It cannot infect you in any way.
    Some people have reported being directed to the App Store to download a particular camera app. If you are, do not download it. It cannot infect you with anything, but you don't want to reward the scammers by downloading their app. If you downloaded the app and paid money for it, contact Apple to dispute the charge.

  • Apple Configurator: The configuration for your iPad could not be downloaded from organisation . Invalid Profile.

    Good afternoon,
    I am really struggling with a deployment of 10 iPad Minis.
    The iPads are brand new and I have downloaded and installed Apple Configurator onto our Apple Air laptop.
    I have configured Apple Configurator in the following way:
    Under Prepared:
    Settings
    Name is ticked with 'Number sequentially starting at 1'.
    Supervision is ticked to on, Allow devices to connect to other Macs is also ticked.
    Update iOS is set to "When update is available". Erase before installing is ticked.
    Restore is set to "Don't restore backup".
    No profiles are listed in the profiles section.
    Apps
    I have copied in some appropriate apps.
    Setup
    Skip: Restore, Passcode, Siri, Touch ID, Apple Pay, App Analytics all ticked.
    I have not configured Device Enrollment.
    In "Configure Settings..." Device Enrollment is not configured.
    After preparing my iPads, they all connect and prepare correctly. When I select any iPad and unlock it, the following happens:
    Hello, slide to setup
    Select language, UK selected
    Select Your Country or Region, UK selected
    Choose a Wi-Fi Network, correct network selected and authenticated
    Location Services: Enabled
    Configuration, "<organisation> can automatically configure your iPad". Apply Configuration or Skip Configuration. Apply selected.
    Configuration, "The configuration for your iPad could not be downloaded from <organisation>. Invalid Profile.
    Apple Configurator is showing no errors, have tried Supervise>Reset, makes no difference.
    Have skipped configuration and erased iPad before trying again, same problem.
    Any suggestions would be really appreciated.

    ok another question: where and how can I report on a skype ID, which insult a lot of girls, hiding himself for the celebrity's name??
    When you do an add contact, you don't need to add the contact, you can view their profile when found. It should be noted, that information is controlled by the Skype user of what is public and what contacts can see as well.
    There is no database about Skype users, that is the information available.
