My PayPal acc was hacked yesterday. I changed everything via my ipad today and it has been hacked again. PayPal says I must have a virus on my ipad. Is that possible...
Help! PayPal says my ipad has a virus - I have been hacked twice in 24hrs and used the ipad to access my account and change all my security settings each time but they have accessed my account again. How do you check for viruses??
As has been said, there is no malware currently capable of infecting an iOS device, unless it has been jailbroken. So that's not a likely possibility.
There are several others, though. The most likely is that either you are falling for phishing scams, or your DNS server has been poisoned and is directing you to a phony PayPal site. Either way, you're ending up at a fake PayPal site.
If you haven't clicked on links in any PayPal e-mails recently, then download a copy of NSLookup (free) on the App Store, then do a lookup for paypal.com. What IP address comes up? I believe that the result should be somewhere in the range 66.211.160.0 - 66.211.191.255.

My sons iPhone 5 was stolen out of his blazer pocket while in a games lesson, this was last period and on return to get changed find that someone from his class had stolen his phone from his zipped pocket. Straight away I went onto the find my iPhone on my phone and it has been showing offline since the phone was stolen. The phone had a password set on it and I have notified the police, school and also our carrier. The phone has been offline now for 32 hours, would this mean they have been unable to access the phone and switched it off? Is it possible for the phone to be jail broken while this password has been set. I am most angry that this has happened and the changing rooms are always locked while the lessons take place, so this is someone within my sons class that has stolen the phone. Being a Friday And last lesson the phone is long gone now but I'm hoping with the security measures we have put in place with the pass code etc.... That they won't be able to unlock the phone to use it. The phone was only 2 days old as my son had only just upgraded :(
All you may infer is the device hasn't been turned on where it can connect to Wi-Fi.
The phone may be jailbroken if there is no lock passcode to prevent access. However, the phone can be completely erased and restored as new. In this case you will have no ability to locate it or prevent it from being jailbroken.

You cannot recover your loss unless you insure your device for such loss. It is not covered by your warranty.
If your iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch, or iPad is lost or stolen what do you do? There are things you should have done in advance - before you lost it or it was stolen - and some things to do after the fact. Here are some suggestions:

I have been sent an email to say that my apple id has been used to download ibooks. I have now changed my password as I have not downloaded ibooks. I would like to know if I am going to be charged ?
Was it a genuine email from Apple or a phishing attempt to try and get your account and payment details ? Whether you will be charged will depend if anything was downloaded on your account, and whether or not it was a free item - we are fellow users here on these forums, we won't know if anything has been bought on your account.
The iBooks app is free app, but if you haven't already done so then check to see if anything shows on your account's purchase history : See your purchase history in the iTunes Store.
If a purchase shows there and you didn't make it, and nobody else has access to your account or devices and made it, then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption -
I've had my new iPhone 6 Plus for about a month now and I'm just now syncing it with my computer to put music on it and it has been on Step 5 of 5 for hours now. I have reinstalled iTunes to see if that was the problem with no luck.
All it says is "waiting for changes to be applied".

Someone else has been given my old Apple ID. now I can't use items purchased with that account. How do I get it back or change items purchased by me to my new account?
When I requested a new password the e-mail was sent to the old address then the new owner of that address entered their info and I no longer have access to it.

I was given an ipod and it has been disabled and I have tried to hook it up to itunes and it won't sync
Restore, if iTunes will let you. Everything except the password will be restored. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. Be forewarned that it takes a long time. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. -
Hi, While writing an email online using Firefox 3.6.3, I was using one of the "CTRL+left or right arrow" to move the cursor along the text. I must have pressed some other key because the display has become huge - and I can't scroll vertically or horizontally, which makes using the Mail pages of Hotmail impossible. I have since logged in using MSFT Explorer and it works fine. This problem occurs only on the Mail page of Hotmail Live not on the home page or others.
Could you please let me know if this is a problem with Firefox, or if you have any advice on how to reset the appearance of Hotmail in Firefox?
== This happened ==
Just once or twice
== While I was compiling an email in Hotmail LiveWow, lightning fast and absolutely right!
Thank you so much! -
My iPhone 3GS was recently stolen. I can't find the box and it has not been synced to my computer in a long time. I just use it as an iPod now. I have the IMEI but not the serial number. Is there a way that I can get the serial number using the IMEI number. Thanks

I downloaded ICloud and IOS5 yesterday afternoon and it has been backing up/syncing to IPAD since 7:30 PM (over 18 hours). Is this usual or is there a problem with what it is doing. Should I stop the backup and start over or just let it keep going? I have WiFi, 3G through Verizon and it is rather slow. I am afraid that it might be using up all my available data allowance and is going to create a huge phone bill. Can anyone advise me as to what I should do? Has anyone had this problem before? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, LucyYou are downloading the update to iOS 5 and that would have to be done within iTunes on your computer using a WiFi network. The 3G service on the iPad is not being used for this or are you downloading some way that I've never heard of?
There is no way that it should take 18 hours so something has gone wrong. What stage are you stuck at? What does the iTunes progress bar indicate? -
I'm trying to order an album and I'm getting this message:
Your book seems to have frames on one or more pages that do not contain photos. You must either change the layout of those pages or place photos in those frames before you can proceed with this book.
As far as I can see I have placed pictures on all the pages. I admit that on some pages I could have placed 3 or 4 pictures but I chose to use ony one or two. Could that be the problem?Yes -
Your book seems to have frames on one or more pages that do not contain photos. You must either change the layout of those pages or place photos in those frames before you can proceed with this book.
The error seems pretty clear - you must have a photo in evey photo frame in order to place your order - so you must either change the layout (if you only want one photo on a page then use a layout with one photo) or put photos in the spots you have not filled

I read somwhere that firefox disables certain versions of java because it might give control of your computer to other malicious websites
I think you have to go to the java website and down load the version you need and enable it in firefox's prefrences
Sorry I may be a veteran in using firefox, but I know very little since I hardly had problems with mozilla untill just very recently hope this helps -

Downloaded Pages today and it won't save anything. Says I need a purchased serial number which was not sent to me. What's up?
You need to delete the trial & then reinstall from the boxed DVD or the Mac App Store. The files to delete are the iWork ’09 folder from the main HD > Applications; the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support & the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences for each user. Yvan Koenig has written an AppleScript that removes the files. You can find it on his box.com account in for_iWork'09 > other_iWork'09 items > uninstall iWork '09.zip.
