Is it secure to pay bills in a public place with i pad

is it secure to pay bills in a public place with an i pad2?

I concur with Dahveed. While the risk may be relatively small if as he says the site is secure (which means that the communication is encrypted and hence would be very difficult to intercept and decode), it is still a risk. It's even not unimaginable that someone could just be looking over your shoulder, or using a video camera, and capturing your password. It's not worth it, to my mind. Better to wait until you're home or otherwise in a private space with a WiFi connection you, or someone you trust, controls.
Regards.

How to pay bill using Verizon electronic gift card?

I have a Verizon Electronic gift card that I got from the recycling program. I was told I could use this cash to pay my bill...I can't see anywhere on the website to pay my bill using this electronic gift card. How do I use this card to pay my bill???

The website is a huge headache! I just used my gift card to pay my monthly bill by calling the Verizon customer service hotline (1-800-922-0204). It was super simple. Just hit #2 for pay bill then the automated line with give you the steps to pay your card. Have your gift card number and pin ready, which can be found in the rebate email.

Is it safer to use the ipad vs. the computer for paying bills using Wi-Fi?

Is it safe to use an ipad at home within their secured Wi-Fi network to pay bills on the internet vs a regular computer or laptop. I thought I had heard that its more difficult for hackers to hack into apple devices vs regular pcs.

For anyone using a private WiFi (with adequate security), there isn't much difference in terms of the actual transmission. The iOS device is probably more secure from malware or other similar intrusion that a windows machine, so from that standpoint, the statement is probably true. But as Steve points out, the real weak link in this is the actual network.

Safari won't let me pay bill in Bank of America

My Bank of America account works fine if I use Internet Explorer. Safari seems to work fine except that after listing bills to be paid, Safari does not highlight the "Pay Bills" button. The button remains dark. I've trashed preferences, ran permissions etc. Any body got any ideas. Thanks

1. There are no viruses for Mac. There is currently one trojan, but the latest security update from Apple is taking care of that. Additionally, you can take a look at these:

I do not have any anti virus software on my Mac; if there is ever a virus, I will use ClamXAV (free). Your computer's worst enemy is, frankly, the user who downloads things they don't know, possibly from questionable sites. Microsoft viruses can't do your Mac any harm since they can't read the Mac OS to do harm; however, you could unwittingly be forwarding one in an email to a PC friend. I don't forward attachments unless I know the source.

How can i pay on the apple store online with two credit cards, with two different billing addresses

I will be greatful if you could answer me this question...
How can i pay on the apple store online with two credit cards, with two different billing addresses?
I know that you can use two credit cards to pay an item but the problem is that i can only put the billing address of just one of the credit cards, and since the two cards are from different people (my parents) i can't do it. They live in the same place so i don't know if i should just put one of the billing address.
Thank you.
PS. I don't know if this is the right community to ask this, sorry if i'm wrong.

On the Apple Store "Payment & Pricing" page it states:
Using more than one payment card
You can also combine payment methods to pay for your purchase. Choose from the following combinations of credit cards and Apple Gift Cards:
Credit card(s) - up to two
Apple Gift Card(s) - up to eight
Apple Gift Card(s) + one credit card
During checkout, if you are paying with a gift card issued by a credit card company, you can combine it with one credit card.

Using Firefox, I can login and browse my financial institution (NFCU) but I cannot pay bills. When I click the bill pay tab, the tab loads 66% and then hangs. Has anyone else reported having this issue?

Using Firefox, I can login and browse my financial institution website (NFCU) but I cannot pay bills. When I click the bill pay tab, the tab loads about 66% and then hangs (loading). I have let it load until NFCU asks me if I want to cancel the session, a much to long of a load time. Has anyone else reported having this issue with NFCU or Mozilla Firefox 3.6.18?
I have also posed the question to NFCU, currently awaiting response and will share what was given.

I cannot access the "pay bill" part of the City of Fort Worth Water Department. It tells me that I need 128 bits and won't let me in until I download something with that. Please help me.

The City of Fort Worth water department website for paying bills refuses to give me access, with the message that I must have a browser that supports 128 bits with encryption. I don't know what to do. PLease help me. thank you.

You should really read the manual.
"How do you restore from backup? "
Restore. When given the choice, choose to use backup.
"And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
They would only be where you put them. What program did you use to import them? Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all. You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer.

Verizon to charge customers a $2 fee when paying bill online or over the phone starting January 15th

Doesn't Verizon make enough money from our bills every month? The only way to avoid this new charge is to enroll in auto bill pay, pay by VZW gift card, pay in store, or to pay by check. My question is, are they going to start paying us for the problems with the phones and with the service that we supposedly buy from them?
http://www.droid-life.com/2011/12/28/verizon-to-charge-customers-2-fee-when-paying-bills-online-starting-january-15/#more-57330
I am going to start sending them a check every month, back to the non-green movement. I'm thinking of also opting out of the paperless statements, and make them send me a bill every month...
We need to display our disappointment with Verizon with this new fee. This was put in place to make it convenient for customers to pay their bill online, and now they want to charge you for that.....

Verizon is discriminating on the bill pay online.If Verizon charges for one they should charge all.I plan on taking my buisness and everyone in my plan as well as in my family group to a different phone carrier.I will not sign up for auto bill pay for I do not get paid on the same days every month and I will not be charged for funds not avialable on the due date.I will not give control of my money to any buisness I do buisness with other than the bank.When we make our move, I'll be taking roughly $1500.00 a month in buisness to another carrierthat does not penalize it's valued customers on their pay methods.All Verizon cares about is themselves not their customers that keep them in buisness.

I'm sorry, I don't understand what you're asking.
Facebook always wants to know too much, but you can ignore those prompts, or lie to it if you want. You'll notice that a lot of people work at 'noneofyourbusiness'.

Auto-pay separate lines on same account with different payment methods?

if i have an account with two separate lines on it (for example, one for me and one for my gf), how can i set up auto pay by line? in other words, have auto pay on one line with my cc, and auto pay on her line with her cc?
i've been poking around in my verizon, but it seems i can only do auto-pay for the entire account...and i created a second userid for the second line, but it only lets me do "pay bill" not set up auto pay...

I don't think what your describing is possible with Verizon's system. Since the account owner is the only one responsible for payment, they haven't designed tools for the other users on the account to make payments in the same way.
Maybe you can set something up through your bank? Have your girlfriend's bank/CC automatically send a payment for her share of the bill to Verizon shortly after the bill is generated, then set up your auto-pay for the remainder a few days later. That gives you some time to make sure everything has processed and credited correctly before the bill is actually due. Once you know it works, you can adjust the dates.

Verizon Residential billed surcharges to his customer with his tricks

Verizon Residential billed surcharges to his customer with the tricks from verizon online bill pay system. I submitted several bill pay payments online for last month's bill, totally
about $48-$49. I indeed found the online bill pay system showed negative balance in "account balance" after I
paid several times. However, Verizon did not do with all the submit and only $43.66 was paid. Then Verizon
told me there is $3.90 balance was forwarded to this month and charged me $7 additional fee. The trick is,
verizon told that you paid full in the beginning but finally he discarded some payments and said that I still
own balance and surcharge me. This is not the first time Verzion did this. From last year there is at least
three times. In the past I talked with customer service to request waive the $7 surcharge fee. But this time
the customer service refuse. Since he refuse to waive the surcharge fee, I'd say either verizon play the
tricks to charge the customer additional fee, or at least his online bill pay system has important problem:
does not show correct balance to customer after customer paid some part of balance first. You know he told me
I paid fully then later he told me I did not. For this kind of late payment, the fault is not on customer, it
should be on Verizon himself. So I think Verizon should not charge addition fee in this case

Your issue has been escalated to a Verizon agent. Please go to your profile page for the forum, and look in the middle, right at the top where you will find an area titled "My Support Cases".
There you will find a link to the private board where you and the agent may exchange information. This should be checked on a frequent basis as the agent may be waiting for information from you before they can proceed with any actions.
