Is my understanding correct that you do not need to have anti-virus, malware, etc. for an iPad?

You do still need to be smart on the internet. YOu can be phished just as easily on an iPad that you can on a computer. So be smart with your internetting. THe iPad does offer a user more protection than a regular PC but a user's actions can change that.
ANd the relative immunity to viruses apply to non-jailbroken devices.

    Hi, I recently purchased an IPad air.  Do I need to place virus protection software for it?  I also have a Dell PC that has the Verizon Security Suite.  Thanks for your info.  Jim

    You do not need anti virus for the iPad. The ipad only installs things from the App Store and those apps are vetted. In addition, the operating system of the ipad isn't the same as PC's or Macs so common viruses don't run on them.
    The only thing you need to be aware of is protecting your info....Go to a bad site and enter your info and you're just as vulnerable as you would be on a computer. So the device isn't vulnerable to anything but user actions.

     Dear Phillip,
     Thank you for contacting Samsung Electronics.
    We understand that you are not able to movies on the iPad on the TV. We are sorry to say that you can connect devices which are DLNA compatible and PC or laptops which are
    installed with PC Share manager. If the iPad supports DLNA, you can connec it to the TV and play the files
    supported by the TV. The TV supports following file video types : MKV, AVI, MP4, WMV, MPEG, MPG, ASF, 3GP, TS, TP, TRP. If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact us.
    Thank you. 
    Samsung Online Support.
    Any help?

    What method of connection are you trying to use? DLNA looks like a standard for sharing media between devices over your home network, but I'm fairly certain the iPad doesn't support this protocol. Apple sell adaptors to connect your iPad directly to TV using composite or HDMI connectors. I'd be surpsied if your TV won't support either of those.

    Hello,
    I'll try to explain my problem (not that you did not understand, but my explanations may be long and difficult).
    I'm Lion 10.7.3 on iMac and I use Mail as my mail manager.
    My ISP (access , mails) is "VOO".
    At mail I am often "over quota" because the server VOO grants only 40M. I would like to address this problem. I contacted VOO but they tell me not to know and do not appear to increase capacity at the moment.
    My idea was:
    - All messages received at the server VOO would be automatically transferred to another address (eg ................. @me.com, my address icloud) whose capacity is much greater.
    - But the problem is that nothing is planned at the server level VOO to perform this maneuver!
    - Therefore, I turn to you to ask yourself the question, one of you has it you an idea, a suggestion, a solution?
    Any suggestion is welcome.
    Thank you in advance for taking the trouble to read and possibly to follow up my request.
    How do I ask to go and read icloud (permanently) my mail to another address, that of my server?
    Philippe (philippe.thiriet @ me.com)

    Thank you for your reply and the clarification it brings me.
    Voo is imap of course and does not provide the possibility of forwarder mails to another address.
    Since I use MAIL and I receive messages without any problems sent to me on my address icloud (............... @me.com) I think to ask all in my address book to send me on my address on icloud. Is it a good idea?
    Could you tell me how much space I have in icloud? 40M is the highest in VOO.
    Thank you for your help and for the time you devote to my problem.

  • Windows Mail could not be started. Make sure that your disk is not full or that you are not out of memory (0x800C0155).

    I have Vista SP2. Every time I open Firefox (3.6.13), I get three consecutive error messages:
    1) Windows Mail could not be started. The application was unable to open the Windows Mail message store. Your Windows Mail mailbox data is currently being used by another program, such as a virus scanner. Close the program or wait for it to complete its operation, then open Windows Mail again (0x800C0155).
    2) Windows Mail could not be started. Make sure that your disk is not full or that you are not out of memory (0x800C0155).
    3) Windows Mail could not be started because MSOE.DLL could not be initialized.
    This series of messages continue to recur during my Firefox session and eventually will freeze up my session.
    I use Gmail. I do not use Windows Mail or Outlook Express and deleted Windows Live Mail. There is a a file named msoe.dll using the path C: /Program Files/Windows Mail. I also found C:/Program Files/Windows Live/RemoteActiveX even though I thought I deleted all Windows Live programs.
    I have set Firefox as the default browser. Also, in Firefox, if I click on "File=>Send Link", it triggers the series of three error messages above.
    I don't understand why Gmail would reference Winmail. Any ideas how I can fix this? Can I or should I delete the Windows Mail and Windows Live folders?

    I have had many problems with permissions on Windows Vista, 7,8 & 81.1.  It is usually after an update or installation, especially one that requires a reboot to finish (some AVG, Windows Live, Windows Updates, etc).  Once File(s), Folder(s)
    and Registry Key(s) permissions are screwed up, it can take days to work them out if ever.
    After having spent several hours on a clients PC and online forums with this problem.  I transferred her user profile with a free program called
    Transwiz (run as Administrator) to a zip file on the HDD.  I renamed her user in manage User Accounts to "Username old".  I then ran Transwiz again to restore the profile but telling it to create a new user using the original Username.
     After it completed restoring the profile, I logged out of "Username old" and logged in to Username and all wass well, I only needed to supply the email password which is not transferred.  When you move profile data, all the old permissions
    have to be removed and <st1:personname w:st="on">new</st1:personname> permissions added so the data and files belong to the <st1:personname w:st="on">new</st1:personname> user.  This cleared up all the permission
    problems.

  • Am I correct that Photos does not support external editors? i.e., in Aperture, I click Photos Edit with.... and can open in Photoshop or various plug-ins. Changes are then automatically saved back to Aperture. Nonexistent in Photos?

    Am I correct that Photos does not support external editors? i.e., in Aperture, I click Photos > Edit with.... and can open in Photoshop or various plug-ins. Changes are then automatically saved back to Aperture. Nonexistent in Photos?

    Thanks Larry. That certainly gives me some understanding. Can't imagine I'm the only Aperture user with that concern, so I certainly hope Adobe and others will fill the void. Without that feature, Photos is pretty much a non-started for me.

    I am working in photshop elements 13 organizer, album view, and would like to resequence (rearrange) the photos shown in the album but am unable to do so.  My understanding is that you can click on the phots that you want to move and drag it to a new location within the same album.  After i select the photo that I want to move and click on the photo, I get a cirlcle with a diagonal throught it and am unable to drag the photo to its new location.  What am I doing wrong?  I know this should be a simple thing to do.  Thanks

    Jimmy RG
    In the Elements Organizer 13
    The key to all this is to click on/select/highlight the Album that you have created in Local Albums.
    Then make sure that the Sort By: (in the row below the highlighted "Media" header is set for Album Order.
    You should see a number at the top left of each of thumbnails.
    Then, click on the thumbnail that you want to move, hold down the click, and drag the thumbnail to the wanted new location
    in the line up of thumbnails.
    Often I had to press down hard on the drag.
    Please let us know if that worked for you.
    Also, in Edit Menu/Preferences/Keyword Tags and Albums/Enable Manual Sorting Options, I set all for manual.

  • Oops, you are trying to do something that you are not allowed to do.

    I decided to try my hand at creating a theme. I filled out all of the forms, uploaded the images (that were the appropriate sizes), selected the colors, was happy with the preview and clicked 'Submit'. The following screen said, "Oops! You are trying to do something that you are not allowed to do." I clicked the back button and re-tried, then received the error message that the theme name was already taken. I re-named it, re-submitted and went back to the 'oops' screen. This cycle repeated no less than 20 times. I tried theme names that were so off the wall, there's no way that all of them were taken. I think that it was failing due to whatever error it was encountering.

    Hi!
    Could you please provide the link to where you are experiencing this issue? The issue you are having seems to be out of bound for this support forum.
    Thanks!

  • After purchasing the 9.99 plan and you decide that you do not want to use it anymore, do you use loose your photos?  Are you able to save them your hard drive and such?

    after purchasing the 9.99 plan and you decide that you do not want to use it anymore, do you use loose your photos?  Are you able to save them your hard drive and such?

    But all the adjustments that you apply in Lightroom, if you do not export to a rasterized format, will be inaccessible.  You'll still have your catalog file, for if you want to re-inlist in the future, but it won't do anything for you without Lightroom.  The same thing will go for Photoshop files like PSD, but obviously if you save to standard image formats you'll be fine.
    It's one of the issues that keeps me away from the plan.  Not being able to edit individual files in PS is one thing, but Lightroom is a photo organization system.  I don't want to rent the system I use to organize 10s of thousands of files.

    Activation requires a SIM card.
    Activation issues are almost always the result of a device that has been hacked or jailbroken. If that is the case, no support can be provided here.

    I am using numbers but I am not able to update last version of numbers. When I try to update that I get error that you could not able to download this app. So what should I do?  

    Try running the combo update.

    If that works and it still shows as an update, try re-indexing Spotlight.
