Is it possible to download spyware on an iPad?

Is it possible to download spyware on an iPad? If so, how do you detect it?

It is possible that a piece of spyware could be hidden or attached to a piece of e mail, or even embedded in a web page.  But if it is, it cannot do anything on the pad.  It cannot monitor you or track you.  It would be locked into the sandbox it arrived in.

  • Is it possible to download pictures from the iPad to a pc?

    Is it possible to download pictures from the iPad to a pc?

    Yes as long as they are the pictures that you took with the camera. Any pictures that are in the camera roll can be imported to the computer.
    You need some sort of camera application like iPhoto on a Mac or Windows Explorer or Windows Live Photo Gallery on a PC.
    This article explains how to import the photos.

  • Is it possible to download a game for iPad or iPod onto a Mac?

    Is it possible to downloand a free game for iPad or iPod onto a Mac?

    Another aspect of your question is that yes, you can download any content that you have downloaded on one of your iOS devices onto your Mac (or PC) by using the iTunes app. This will be a backup to your iOS content as it will be stored in the iTunes content libraries should you ever need it again and it is no longer available in the iTunes stores on your iOS devices. Since there is no guarantee that content sold (free or paid) through the iTunes stores will always be available in the future Apple very highly recommends that you always backup your content in this manner. And then backup your Mac or PC as well.

  • Is it possible to download Java to an IPad. Java is needed to use the Bridgeclublive app.

    how can one download Java to an iPad

    Bridgeclublive is not an App it is a website which requires Java to run its bridge "app". Apps aren't only on the iPad you know!
    However, there is an App in the App Store called BridgePlayer which states that it can connect with the Bridgeclublive website.
    Here's the link for that App:

  • Is it possible to download iOS  5 from one iMac and not get them totally wiped of apps and stuff. We have an iPad each and a communal email address and an iCloud address each. One iPad now is totally screwed up.

    Is it possible to download iOS  5 from one iMac on two ipads and not get them totally wiped of apps and stuff. We have an iPad each and a communal email address and an iCloud address each. One iPad now is totally screwed up.

    Thank you for your reply.
    I am somewhat new to iOS and OS having grown up with DOS and Windows. I am not familiar with IMAP and iCloud and I am not even sure which types of servers my various emails use.
    The problem I would anticipate with iCloud is that (I assume) it would limit my access to data (including mail) on the iCloud to when I happen to be logged onto the internet. I also assume(?) that large files (photos etc.) would require some time to download whenever I wish to access them from whichever device I happen to be using (I hope I am wrong about this).
    I have kept my devices to 500gb - 1TB for OS and 32gb - 128gb for iOS but since I have pretty slow WiFi (shared with DirecTV Whole Home and Netflix streaming) it is my impression that iCloud might be quite limited due to data transfer times.
    Perhaps a factor would be that I have 2 DSL lines and my main DSL line is connected to two wireless routers (to also provide WiFi in a metal building that blocks WiFi and Cellular signals)
    I may be totally wrong in my assumptions regarding iCloud. My mail is not so urgent that I need access to it instantly and I could wait until I had internet access or I can get it on my iPhone. My main concern with iCloud would be my data files (Word, Pages, Excel, Numbers etc.).
    On the other hand, if I wanted to keep my 10,000 emails that would take up a lot of iCloud memory and I don't know how to measure how much storage it would take or how to move Hotmail or even iCloud mail to iCloud.
    It may take me some time to figure this out.

  • Is it possible to share aps between my iPad and iPhone, I have tried several methods yet I still get charged if I download an app I already have on my iPad.  many thanks, Alex

    Is it possible to share apps from my iPad onto my new iPhone 4. I have tried several suggestions from the net but still get charged when I download an app to my phone that is already on my iPad.  Many thanks,  alex

    Greetings Alex,
    You should be able to download the exact same app from the iTunes store to a different device at no extra cost.  Its possible you might be downloading an iPad only version of an app you happen to have on your iPhone although I'm not familiar with an example of this. 
    If you are being charged:
    1. Make sure you are using the same iTunes Store account (AppleID) on both devices.  Your purchases are tied to the AppleID so if you don't use the same one to download the app that you used to buy it the first time,  you'll be charged.
    On the device you originally bought the app in question:  Go to Settings > Store -- note the AppleID here
    On the device you re-downloaded and were charged on:   Go to Settings > Store -- note the AppleID here
    If these AppleIDs are different then you have your answer.  You are making purchases with two different accounts so logically you've been charged twice.  Decide which AppleID you wish to use from now on and on the device which does not currently have that ID and tap on it in the Store section of the settings and login with the other AppleID.
    If these AppleIDs are the same then something is going wrong in the process.  Contact iTunes Store support email to have them take a peek: http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/
    Hope that helps.

  • Hi, can anyone please tell me if it is possible to download Google chrome (or similar) on the New Ipad... Thanks!

    Hi, can anyone please tell me if it is possible to download Google chrome (or similar) on the New Ipad...
    I keep getting an a message that reads "Safari cannot download this file" ... is there any other browser that can run on the New Ipad
    Thanks!

    You can't download programs via Safari. The only programs (i.e. apps) that you can install are those that are in the iTunes app store on your computer and the App Store app directly on the iPad - PC and Mac programs are not compatible with the iPad, they are different operating systems.
    There are a number of browser that are available in the store e.g. Atomic Web and iCab Mobile are two of the most popular, and there is also a free Opera browser (though what is available in the store may depend upon what country that you in and therefore what is available in your country's store).

  • Is it possible to download firefox onto a jumpdrive so i can install it on a computer with no internet connectivity?

    Hi, after the auto update ruined my internet explorer in windows, I am unable to open any kind of browser window, I cannot get to the Internet Properties from my computer or the programs. I am unable to uninstall ie8 because of missing files that came from microsoft update. I still have a connection to the internet, however, with no way of getting to it...So I am wondering if it is possible to download firefox onto a jump drive and install it on my otherwise, useless, computer.

    You can download Firefox 4.0.1 from here: http://www.mozilla.com/ directly to a USB drive provided there's enough space and then move it to your PC. The installation file is only 12MB

  • I'm new to itunes and need some help. Can anyone tell me if it is possible to download an album which has explicit content without actually downloading the explicit songs?

    I'm new to itunes and need some help.  Can anyone tell me if it is possible to download an album which has explicit songs without actually downloading the songs that are explicit?

    See if there's a non-explicit version and download that?  Just download the individual songs you want, and not the others?
    Honestly, your phrasing doesn't make sense.  You're asking how to download an album without downloading its tracks?

    Hello Monin.
    You may be having a problem with some extension or plugin that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
