Is it true that apple products do not get viruses..

I was told that apple products do not get viruses!!!

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

  • Is it true that apple products are "virus proof?"

    I was in an argument with a friend, and I wanted to know if apple products are really, "virus proof?"

    Well, obviously no-one can predict the future, but looking at history:
    - there has never been a single virus outbreak on stock iOS devices since the very first iPhone in 2007
    - there has never been a single virus outbreak on Mac OS X computers since it was released in 2001
    Malware such as Trojans are different and rely on social engineering to get installed, not on security weaknesses in operating systems, so there isn't a computer system on the planet that cannot be compromised by a Trojan horse.

  • My iphone 5 is stuck in recovery mode. Followed apple support instructions...uninstalled and reinstalled all apple products.  Not getting any error codes, just cord/tunes pic. Itunes is not recognizing my phone so I cant even restore. Pls help !

    I just got this phone about 2 weeks ago.  I was prompted to do an update and did it... then my phone showed the image of the wire to the itunes symbol... so it's in recovery mode.  I have been working on this for hours!  I read tons of apple support procedures and followed them to the letter.... HT1414, TS3125, TS1538 etc.
    I uninstalled my itunes, quicktime... all the apple products like the instructions said. I reloaded everything and rechecked to make sure it was good.  Driver is showing up good with no problems.
    I would totally be fine with restoring it to the original settings... I've only had it for 2 weeks! But itunes won't even recognize the phone so I can't even hit the restore button.  This is so frustrating. I am running windows 7... and I ran all updates like the apple support instructions said. I checked updates with Norton.  All good. I did all the windows & norton updates before I uninstalled and reinstalled apple products. If I could only get itunes to even recognize the phone.
    The phone is not jailbroken... it was fresh from the factory... then that update!
    Please help.  I am without a phone.

    I may have fixed the issue. The errors in device manager were a driver error apparently windows didnt have appropriate drivers installed to allow itunes to recognize a device in recovery mode. I followed the paths in the guide above in more detail using this path ( http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 under if device not recognized while in recovery mode) to alleviate the issue update is now installing appropriately ( i hope).
    I will update if everything works correctly

  • Is it true that apple will fix your products once for free ?

    No.
    my iphone  just turned off last night and wont turn back on...
    Standard troubleshooting...
    Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
    If still a problem restore with your backup.
    If still a problem restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
    If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue.  If still under warranty, take it in to Apple for a potnetial warranty replacement.  If not, you may be able to get an out-of-warranty replacement for $149.

    When iPad is off and not connected to internet, you'll will not be able to track, lock or wipe the iPad.
    Apple do not track iPad.

    No, I meant ther source of the rumor, not how you read it. This should alert you not to believe everything you read from rumor sites. Believe even less if you are informed by third, fourth, fifth, etc. hand reports.

  • Is it true that Apple is now pushing out iOS 7 updates to devices automatically and without a users' permission?

    Is it true that Apple is now pushing out iOS 7 updates to devices automatically and without a users’ permission?

    Some people say that it has downloaded automatically when their phone is plugged in and connected to Wi-Fi, but I have left my phone and other iOS devices plugged in overnight several times since the iOS 7 release and have not experienced the same.

  • I've just installed iTunes on my Windows 8.1 (64-bit) laptop, but i can't open it. It keeps telling me that Apple application was not found. What should i do now?

    I've just installed iTunes on my Windows 8.1 (64-bit) laptop, but i can't open it. It keeps telling me that Apple application was not found. What should i do now?

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if AAS won't install normally.

  • I want to run a streaming quotes program on Scottrade. They tell me that their product does not work if I have more than one Java application on my Mac. How do I delete the older versions? Thanks

    I have the same problem, they never told me that, just that the newest version of Java "locks" up streaming quotes.

  • Is it true that iPhone 4s does not allow to take more than 1000 photos?

    Hi!
    Is it true that iPhone 4s does not allow to take more than 1000 photos?

    Not true.
    Only Photostream is allowed to take a max of 1000 photos, then they will be removed from server/icloud.

    Well, it does say on http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/pc.html in step 1: "To enable iCloud on your Windows PC (Windows 7 or 8 required), first set up iCloud on your other devices, then install the iCloud Control Panel for Windows.
    If you're trying to back up your device to iCloud, that doesn't have anything to do with your computer.  You back up to iCloud over wifi.  All you do is go to Settings>iCloud, sign in with your Apple ID to create your account, scroll down and tap Storage & Backup, then turn on iCloud Backup.  You can then tap Back Up Now at the bottom to start the back up manually, or lock the screen and connect it to your charger and it will back up automatically every day.
    Enabling the iCloud control panel on your PC only allows you to sync your iCloud data with your PC, not to back up your device to iCloud.

    Is true that apple will replace I pad 3 to new iPad for the customers?

    When the iPad 4 was released, Apple said that persons who had purchased an iPad 3 in the prior 30 days could exchange it for an iPad 4. This replacement period is over.

  • No question, just a remark to say how upset I am that Apple still does not have flash player on iPad or iPod touch. Still upset not to be able to view my family's video on my iPad! Upset customer!

    This is a user to user forum, and Apple does not follow these discussions. But here is what Apple says about not having Flashplayer on iDevices:
