Looking for antivirus program for ipad2???

I have performed an extensive search for antivirus program for iPad2. I am told we don't need it with iPad, but I really don't feel comfortable without one. Does anyone have any ideas?

Rudegar is 100% correct on IOS, Safari, and the Apple app store. It's virtually impossible to get a virus on an iPad using the system the way Apple has set it up. They take great pains to keep it safe as well. Here is where the user could open themselves to vulnerabilities.
1) there are other online 'app stores'. If you use them and expect the same level of vigilance Apple gives then you expect far too much.
2) when you hook you iPad to a PC, it is essentially an external hard drive to the PC. It is possible for the PC to put infected files on your iPad. Will these files affect your iPad, no... But your iPad could transport the infected files to another vulnerable PC and infect it.
3) there are many iPad apps that allow you to share iPad files on the wireless network. This, when coupled by the previous point is why some networks will not allow iPads without a/v software. There is a potential for them to be a virus carrier.  It hasn't happened yet, but security people deal in possibilities, openings, risks, and mitigations. There is a potential risk here going to them with anything less than a quantitative study from NSA will be viewed as slightly less believable than a fairy tale.

  • Looking for some info on how to play music files on IPAD2

    Hi and thanks for sharing.  Trying to figure out how to play sound files such as wavs or mp3s on my ipad2 while I browse the internet or use my computer.  I was trying to see if the music feature will play my songs or if I can import downloaded files from the net to itunes and if that will play in the background.  I have an audio program that can send sound files to email and was trying to figure out how, similarly, to get this play in the background while I do things too.  That and sound files downloaded from the internet.   Do these go to iCloud when you download them?  Can I import sounds into itunes with my iPad someway.  (It's the only computer or device I own).   Basically looking for a pathway to get music from my audio program that's sent to email, and clips I've DLed off sites on the internet, to play while I use the pad or browse the net.  Thanks for your intel on the mission.   Cheers!

    The only way to get content into the Music app is via iTunes store downloads or syncing with itunes on a computer. You will need to find a third party media player such as VLC (whick integrates with DropBox and GoogleDrive, if that appeals to you).

  • Freeware antivirus programs for iMac

    We only recently made the switch to Mac from (excuse the expression) Windows. And even more recently...like 45 minutes ago...the switch to Leopard from Tiger! Until now, I haven't worried about virus protection for my husband's iMac (I do all the computer worrying in the family). However, I have read that it is a good idea to have an anti virus program, even on the less susceptible Apple machines, if one is going to do things like surf the net or open attachments...and who doesn't?
    What about this? Do I need an anti virus program? Which ones are best? And...since I am saving for a MacBook Pro of my own...is there any good freeware out there??

    ClamXav isn't worth the cpu cycles probably. Even when it found a Word Macro virus, it couldn't do anything about it but delete the file.
    Intego AntiVirus X4 might, but you still don't need it unless you share emails and files that might be infected to prevent passing along. Free demo fully functional.
    Web browsers; javascript; realmedia; even Adobe PDFs can all be sources of infection.
    Disable javascript and plug-ins; use Firefox and NoScript. look for alternatives. And keep your system up to date.

  • Looking for a program or app

    just coming from windows,i dont know if you call them apps or programs? im looking for something that will keep track of customers,money they owe,and money they pay.would be nice if it worked with the calendar and phone book but not necessary.thanks

    You didn't provide the actual name of the Windows program you are using so that features or prices can be compared. What do you expect to pay for a program, or do you want to use an online system that has monthly fees?
    I don't know of any inexpensive programs for the Mac that are specifically set up for Farriers, but there are many database type programs that might be adapted to your needs. GrandTotal, $79 - offers pretty good integration with the Mac Address Book and Calendar (especially if you get it bundled with their TimeLog program for an extra $10) and it also has an iPhone-iPad program that can read open and due invoices you've created with their program.
    You could also take a look at Bento, $49 - from FileMaker, which also has a program for iPhone-iPad. They offer some invoice templates that you can download and modify.
    Both of these companies offer free trials.
    I haven't used either of these products, but I am looking for something with better integration with my iDevices. The Quickbooks Connect program for iPad only works with the Windows version of Quickbooks Pro 2011 and requires a monthly subscription. Windows users are still complaining about it's lack of features so I'll probably pass.
    One of my clients has offered to buy my Quickbooks for Mac, and I might take him up on it if the GrandTotal program works out for me. The program is great, but not very nimble on-the-road.
    Hope this helps.

  • Problem with my program looking for the settings file in the wrong folder

    I have been writing a simple FTP file uploader, what I want to do is be able to select the files I want to upload in windows explorer and then right click and click the menu item and it launches the program and passes the files paths that I have selected to it.
    So I use this in the windows registry "C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_03\bin\java.exe -jar D:\BenFTP\BenFTP.jar %1"
    It launches fine and has no problem finding the files I want to upload. The problem is that it tries to look for the settings file in the same folder that the file I am try to upload is in. Which it's not suppose to do since the settings file is in the same folder that the .jar is in.
    Edited by: ColNewman on Feb 5, 2008 6:55 PM

    So, you're looking for your settings file in your current working directory. There's no way to set the CWD in your registry entry (is there?) so that isn't a practical thing to do. Presumably you're using a File object or a FileReader or something? Can't do that.
    One alternative is to look for the settings file in the classpath. You can get a URL to a file in the classpath like this:URL settings = this.getClass().getResource("/settings.xml");Or you can get an InputStream to read the file by using the getResourceAsStream method. You would have to make sure that your executable jar file contained a Class-Path entry that specified the right directory, because the directory the jar is contained in isn't automatically in an executable jar's classpath.
    Another alternative is to ask the user where the settings file is supposed to be, and put an entry in the Preferences (java.util.prefs) to remember that location.

  • HT5731 How can I download my TV episodes to my Macbook Pro. I bought them from my iPad2, and I looked for them with the same AppleID on iTunes Store and they wont download to my iTunes.

    How can I download my TV episodes to my Macbook Pro. I bought them from my iPad2, and I looked for them with the same AppleID on iTunes Store and they wont download to my iTunes.

    What country are you in ? Depending upon what country that you are in then you might be able to redownload them on your Mac's iTunes via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the iTunes store homepage
    If you're not in a country where TV programmes can be redownloaded then connect the iPad to your Mac's iTunes and use the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over from your iPad

  • Looking for a for an all-in-one printer that is compatible with greeting card programs..​.

    looking for a for an all-in-one printer that is compatible with greeting card programs...my original one was an HP PSC  1510...replaced it with a Deskjet 1050 & it does not work...any suggestions?

    I bought an epson xp650 a couple of months ago and cannot fault it. It does everything I require and it is the wifi model so I can print directly from my ipad/iphone. Not sure if you are asking about the colour of the unit or just to be able to print black and white, Obviously all printers will print black and white but just to give you a little more info the printer I bought is the white version and it looks really nice sat next to my imac 27''
    Hope this helps.

  • New to Mac and I am looking for a good app to process labels for envelopes. Used to use the Printmaster program on the PC side.  Wondering if "Pages" Iis the correct program to buy of is there another option. Thank you.

    New to Mac and used to use a program called print master for making all kinds of labels etc. I am looking for a good app to do the same.  I was wondering if the Pages app was the right choice to do the labels etc.  I understand that pages I'd a word processing app but I was unable to tell if it could do what I was looking for. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

    The Contacts application will print envelopes and is already on your iMac. See this Apple article for information on how to do it.
    Best of luck.

  • Looking for a certain application/program

    I am most definitly in the wrong forum, but the people who use this forum are probably the most knowlidgable about the application i am looking for.
    I have a wacom tablet, and am getting very good at drawings and animation. I was wondering if anyone knew of a program where i can draw on my tablet , and it would record it like a film, so that i could import it in fcp. If anyone knows of this program, a similar program, or a program that includes this feture i would be very interested in knowing what it is?
    Ethan

    Another route would be to do it in After Effects.
    You wouldn't draw, like what you're describing, but you can create paths that would stroke themselves on. i.e. you'd draw it before hand with the pen tool in After Effects or Illustrator, then stroke your paths, and key frame the end-point to make it look like it 'draws' on.
    It's a bit trickier, but then you can make sure there are no mistakes, make is scalable (vector-based), and very smooth.
    Just so you have options.

  • I have a client who was working with Now to Date, which is now obsolete.  She is looking for a mac calendar program that is as close to Now to Date as possible.  She has installed Outlook 2012 but finds that is takes too much time to enter data.  Help?

    I have a client who has been using Now to Date on her Mac.  That program is now obscure and she is looking for software that is extremely similar.  She has tried Outlook for Mac and it is too labor-intensive for her.  She wants a professional look, and something that is not linked to e-mail as she works with a lot of proprietary information.  Help?

    I could not identify that app in macupdate.com. If a Calendar program, what about iCal? did she try it and disliked? If you go to macupdate.com, and type ‘calendar’ in seach filed, you will be given a lot of apps, you or she should test what it most appropriate for your/her needs.

  • Looking for a remote control for powerpoint on ipad2

    Using DocumentstoGO on the ipad2, looking for a method to progress powerpoint slide shows

    For sharing between iPads, this might be worth a look:
    http://www.ideaflight.com/
    Cisco has a WebX application for the iPad that says it allows scheduling, hosting, and attending meetings. There is a client for GoToMeeting for iPad, but I believe that you can only attend, not host.

  • Looking for a labview virtual instrument program we can modify

    Hi, I’m looking for a canned labview virtual instrument program we can modify for the OMB DAQ 55 from Omega to measure three temps and control three DO.  I have the driver at:ftp://ftp.omega.com/public/DASGroup/products/OMB-DAQ5455&56/ The driver is labviewpdaq5xsetup.exe. I have the OMB DAQ 55 from http://www.omega.com/pptst/OMB-Daq55.html  with a USB interface. I am trying to set it up to control a 24V electric valve. I’d like it to measure temperatures (5 separate temps), allow a set point to be programmed for three of them and turn on and off a DO based on the temperature. PID is not required yet. Maybe in the future… We have labview 7.1 and 8.0 but my colleague prefers 7.1  Do you have an labview VI programs that you can share that will do this with the DAQ 55? If you have something that will be close, we can modify it. But starting from scratch will likely mean we can not get this done in time for a project test. Simple set point and control is all I’m looking for… I’m new (my colleague knows it better than me, but has less time) to labview and do not have the resources to learn it from scratch to figure this out. Is there something you have I could modify? Can you help. Or are there canned programs you have that will do this? Labview is the preferred language. Thanks. Attached is what Omega shared with us, it might help…it’s a screen capture from a similar program, but far from the mark.

    Hi vestel,
    These discussion forums are more geared for questions - not necessarily having everyone else code for you.
    You have a few options if you want code.
    1) Look at the shipping examples that come with LabVIEW.  This will give you a starting point from which to ask questions.
    2) Look at the Instrument Driver Network that exits on National Instrument's Web site.  Here are all the Omega instrument drivers listed.
    3) Look at the list of Alliance members who you can pay to develop your code for you.  Look here.
    I hope this helps,

  • Looking for a program that can handel import and export of palm doc files

    I am looking for a program that can handel the import and export of palm doc Files that can convert them to to either txt or RTF files for Vista 32, running Palm Desktop 7.1.
    Could anyone give me a few suggestions of any plug-ins that would be good me?
    Hearns
    Post relates to: Palm IIIxe
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Ok, you need to clean uninstall Palm desktop 6.2. Install Palm desktop 4.1.4 and download and install documents to go version 6.
    Here are the clean uninstall instructioins for Vista.
    You should first make a copy of your data to have just in case something
    happens. You can find your data files by going to Start --> Documents -->
    Palm OS Desktop. Highlight your Palm Desktop username and right click and
    copy. Then go to your PC desktop right click on a blank spot and select paste.
    If this is the first time you are installing Palm desktop and encountering a problem, skip the previous step.
    Now you want to uninstall Palm Desktop and remove everything that has to do
    with Palm Desktop from your computer.
    Go to the following locations on the PC and delete the folders listed below.
    C:\Program Files\Palm or Palm One
    C:\Users\[Vista Login Name]\appdata\local\virtualstore\Program Files\Palm or
    PalmOne
    C:\Users\[Vista Login Name]\appdata
    *Note you may need to view hidden folders to get to appdata. To do that go
    into your control panel and open folder options. Go to view tab and uncheck
    hide hidden files.
    Once this is done you will need to delete some registry keys from your PC Operating System.
    Word of warning, going here and deleting the wrong thing can cause your PC
    from starting up, crashing and deletion of programs and data. If you feel
    you are unsure of yourself, see if you have a friend that can help you or a
    PC technician that you can pay to help you. This procedure will show them everything they need to delete. To make sure we have a good copy of the current registry, we need to do a backup of the Registry.
    Go to start on the PC, in the search field type "regedit.exe" without quotes.
    Highlight COMPUTER, go to File --> Export. Should pop up with a Save As box.
    Current location is fine, should be in My Documents or save to a location you will remember. In the file name on the bottom type "backup[todaysdate]" i.e. backup07072008. Next, the hard part.
    The easiest way to make sure your working with the correct key, highlight the key i.e. palm quick install, and press delete on your keyboard. It will ask you, are you sure. Say yes. Do the same thing for all keys below.
    If you make a mistake, stop what you are doing. And call a PC technician.
    BUT do not turn off your computer.
    The reg keys are as follows (Note: some of theses reg keys will not be here
    but if they are delete them)
    * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Palm Quick Install
    * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\PalmOne File Transfer
    * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Pilot Desktop
    * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Palm
    * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Palm, Inc.
    * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmDesktopAutorun
    * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\palmOne
    * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmSource
    * HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\PalmSource or anything else that says palm
    Next reboot your computer.
    Then reinstall your palm desktop from the CD and do a hotsync. Use the username that is on the handheld.

  • Looking for a program to delete CVCs from a flat file, infocube, ztable.

    I am looking for a program that will delete CVCs from a flat file, infocube, or ztable. Based on the research I have done, I would imagine the core of such a program would be the use of function module /sapapo/ts_plob_delete.
    If anyone has such a program and would be willing to share it that would be great.
    Shane

    Hi
    Yes you can use this program, but I think the program /sapapo/ts_plob_delete will only delete the data from Master planning Object structure( MPOS). First you have to deactivate the planning are first than use this program which will delete everything and again activate the planning area.
    If you want to delete the data flat files or infocube, you require to delete the data directly from the infocubes and add this job in the process chain to delete everything.
    I hope this information help you.
    Thanks
