Is it possible to get a virus on the iphone 4

I don't have a virus I just wonder if it is possible to get one on the iphone 4 and if so how do you fix it?

To avoid the what is or is not that people like to pounce on, just call it malware. Don't call it a virus.
Are wireless devices a target and susceptible? of course. And the idea of RFID and 'swiping' to make financial transactions means real tin foil 'hats' might be a must. Or, what access does the TSA have when you fly and treating smartphones the same as laptops.
Your smartphone is a tempting honey pot for stealing.

    Apple does not take trade-ins. In a few countries Apple does work with a company who will give you some return on an existing device; for the US, see:
    http://www.apple.com/recycling/gift-card/
    Similar programs are available in a few other countries, and some dealers may have their own trade-in programs. But you most probably can get more for your iPhone 4 if you sell it yourself.

  • Is it possible to get a virus on the Mac OS X v10.6.4 Snow Leopard?

    Hi, I was just wondering if it is possible to get viruses on the new system and I was also wondering if someone could give me some help/suggestions on what I should do about a problem I had with my iMac today. When I turned on my computer from sleep today a page popped up onto my iMac computer screen saying I had trojans and viruses on my computer. It also stated I needed to download software in order to fix the problem, luckily while I was in the middle of downloading this software I noticed that the page was not from apple but it was from the internet.. thankfully I cancelled the download just on time and none of the software downloaded... I am new to Mac and I'm now really paranoid that there is viruses on my computer.. should I be worried? What should I do? If anyone has any suggestions/advice/ or help to give to me on iMac computer's -viruses-protecting them etc..I would really appreciate it
    Thanks,
    kateos9

    These 'warnings' are usually pop-unders from a web page you've visited (i.e. they stay behind the page you're viewing so you don't see them until later).
    They claim to have scanned your computer and found viruses: this is complete rubbish and a scam - aimed really at Windows users (the details given are often applicable only to windows).
    You don't have any viruses: there are no Mac viruses in the wild. There are trojans and malware, but in all cases you have to actually install them (usually they try to make you think you are installing something else) and you would have had to give your admin password to do so.
    You were right to stop the download. Never ever download or click any links on anything of this nature. Unless you have specific anti-virus software installed (which would identify itself in any warning) no warning of this nature can be genuine: it's an attempt to get you to install malware, some of which can be very nasty.

  • Is it possible to get a virus or spyware on a iPad ?

    My iPad II seems to have a virus. Notes have disappeared twice. Changes pages for no reason.
    It it possible t get a virus o spyware?
    Thank you.

    Not really.  If your ipad is jailbroken then maybe.  The ios operating system is partitioned and locked.
    For issues with notes, what type of email account do you have setup on the device.  I ask this as some email accounts allow note syncing.  As note syncing with email accounts are done OTA, there could be an issue that causes them to disappear.  You can logging to your email account and most have a note section to verify if they are present. 
    I am not sure what you mean by changing pages.  Could you elaborate on that more?

  • HT201299 what does it mean when you get this message on the Iphone? "online maps consume data traffic"

    what does it mean when you get this message on the Iphone? "online maps consume data traffic"

    That means that if you use online maps, it will consume data. If you're on WiFi, no worries. If you are on cellular data, then it will eat into your cellular data plan.

  • HT5025 I need an information about the voiceover utility. In Israel the Iphone comes with the VoiceOver/Siri in hebrew? Would be possible to a blind israeli use the Iphone? How?

    I need an information about VoiceOver/Siri in hebrew...
    Would be possible to a blind israeli use the Iphone? How?
    I ask you because the VoiceOver is not translated to hebrew...

    If what you are asking is whether additional languages can be added to iPhone Voiceover, the answer is "no".
    You can ask Apple to add Hebrew via

  • Can I get a discount on the iPhone after my AT&T 2 year contract is up?

    I've had my old phone for almost 2 years, and on the AT&T site it has a bunch of phones that have huge discounts for them if your 2 year contract is up. So does that apply to the iPhone? I didn't see any info about that on the AT&T site.

    You can not get a discount on the iPhone. You will need to pay the full 399.00 even when your upgrade time comes. The upgrade discount is not applicable to the iPhones.
