Query from a iPhone Dummie

Hi - I'm always paranoid that a virus makes it's way onto my PC so always run scans so far nothing seems to turn up - however as I do use the wire to connect my phone to my PC to upload my photos etc - if a virus got on to my PC would it get on to my phone.  I feel daft for asking this as most discussions on here seem to say that unless your phone is jailbroken you're safe and as I don't have a clue what jailbroken is let alone know how to do it, I figure I must be ok - am I right?

You don't have to worry about a virus getting on your phone when you are using your computer. Jailbreaking means altering the computer program of the phone so that you can change settings in a way that is not supported by Apple. Personally, I see no need to ever try that as there are so many apps available that you should be able to find something that will work for you. Enjoy your phone!

  • Performing a Query on an Oracle DB from an iPhone

    I'm looking to essentially have a connection with an existing Oracle DB that is housing some information that I would like to retrieve when a user puts in a query from an iPhone. I read sometime back that this would be doable in SDK 3.0. Anyone have some insight to this? Posting on a few different boards to get some info. Haven't been able to find anything anymore, just rumors.
    Appreciate the help.

  • How to for dummies: sync itunes with pc to import pics from apple iphone 5 to pc???

    1)   How to for dummies: sync itunes with pc to import pics from apple iphone, 5c, 7.1.2., to pc?
    2)   How to delete photos from iphone (when I pick a pic there's no option to delete from trash icon)?
    3)   How do I get the app (VS) VarageSale back on my phone screen? It is only listed in settings > notifications.
    4) Or how do I delete the VS from settings, so I can reinstall?
    NOTE:  I have been to Verizon and they could not help me and it is too far to go to an apple store.  I have downloaded the apple manual and it is toooooo technical for me.

    If you don't have a backup of your pc, you will have to use a third party solution to get your music back. Wiki has a [comparison of ipod managers|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparisonof_iPodManagers] here which you can look through to see if any meet your needs. I have used [CopyTrans|http://www.copytrans.net/copytrans.php] successfully but I did purchase it so I don't know what the free version supports.
    You can [download purchased Apps for free|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519] but that won't work for music, movies, etc.
    Hope that answers your question. Sorry about your lack of backup. Better luck next time.

  • How can I delete all music files from my iPhone and start again?

    I rebuilt my iTunes library. I was under the impression that the first post-rebuild sync would erase all media from my iPhone.
    Under the Summary tab in iTunes, I checked Sync only checked songs and videos, and in my music list all songs are unchecked.
    Under the Music tab in iTunes, I checked Sync Music, and because all my songs are unchecked it shows 0 songs.
    However, after syncing, the status bar at the bottom of the Music tab still shows all my songs previously loaded as taking up memory, and when I open the Music app on my iPhone all those songs are still listed (although they are not playable).
    How can I clear everything out and start from scratch?

  • Cannot send email from an iPhone to a Outlook group.

    Hi,
    My question is simple and I'd like an exactly same answer : Can iPhone users send emails from their iPhone's to one or more groups created in Outlook?
    This is my situation: our organization is using iPhone to provide email, calendar, contact, task etc. to some of their employees. We are using Airwatch MDM Agent on user's iPhone because we have an Airwatch server in place. I have an user and she has an iPhone 5 and she has created some groups in Outlook but these groups are not reflected in her Contacts in the iPhone. I have update her phone with the latest update, although I was almost sure that this was not the issue, then I've found some interesting posts on internet saying that this was a known problem for the users with the previous iOS but I thought this might has been corrected with the iOS, apparently not.
    Also I've tried ''the trick'' that is posted on several forums with the iCloud but neither so it's working. I am looking for a straight answer, if this works or not on iPhone's?
    Thanks,
    Sebastian.

    There indeed ARE apps in the app store that will do what you want.  Just search and find the one that best fits your needs.

  • Cannot send email from my iPhone or iPad. The server rejects a recepient for no apparent reason.  The recipient is not new.  This issue happens on reply or reply to all or froward; not a new email. What is happening?

    I talked with a tech today and he said I cloud is having problems which should be resolved shortly.
    In the mean time I used the .me smtp server settings which allowed me to send mail.

    You copy them from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
    The iphone is not a backup/storage device.

  • How can I read email from my aol account from my iphone and keep it as uread on my computer at home.  It automatically goes to read mail on my computer.  On my computer if I want to keep an email to answer later I can mark it "Keep as New".

    How can I read my email from my aol account from my iphone and keep it as "unread" on my computer at home?  At home I can read an email and if I want to get back to it at a later date I can mark it as "keep as new".  I tend to forget it if it goes to "read" mail.   Right now, when I read an email from my phone it goes automatically to "read" mail.

    On the iPad, using the mail app, there is no way to do what you are asking without tapping the flag icon and marking the item as unread. Have you tried the OWA app for the iPad? It may have that functionality, but I haven't tested it as you need an Office 365 subscription with Exchange support to use the app.

  • If I wanted to exchange my iPhone 5 for the new iPhone 6 (no additional cost after $199 gift card from selling iPhone 5) do I have to pre-order online or do I just have to show up at a Verizon store Sept 19th?

    If I wanted to exchange my iPhone 5 for the new iPhone 6 (no additional cost after $199 gift card from selling iPhone 5) can I pre-order online now or do I just have to show up at a Verizon store Sept 19th?

        scodaddy, that is a wonderful question. We are super excited about the new iPhone. You can always pre-order your new iPhone online and then start the mail in rebate by following this link: http://bit.ly/GGnDDC Or you can always go into the store location and do it all in store on the 19th when the phone is launched. That would depend on if the store has them in stock when you go in. I hope that this was able to address your concern.

  • How can I remove calendar alerts from my iPhone?

    My iPhone 4 (iOS 6) seems to be adding calendar alerts on its own and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to remove them. I use iCal on my Macbook Pro (running Mountain Lion 10.8.2) to sync my calendar events. None of my events on iCal have alerts set to them and I have disabled all alerts in my iCal preferences. Yet, for some reason, when I look at a calendar event on my iPhone, an alert is set for it.
    How do I remove these properly? I do not simply want to silence these alerts, but figure out how they got there in the first place and remove them completely. For comparison's sake, I've included an image of the event from iCal and the event from my iPhone.

    Hi pjdemeo,
    I understand you want to delete all of the photos from your iPhone.  As a precaution, I would suggest importing the photos and videos from your iPhone into your computer.  This will give you a backup for the images, and after import you will be asked if you want to delete the photos.
    Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC - Apple Support
    https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201302
    The iPhone User Guide has instructions for deleting photos directly from the device:
    Organize photos and videos - iPhone
    http://help.apple.com/iphone/8/#/iphf14943e
    Delete a photo or video from Photos. Tap the Photos tab, tap the photo or video, tap , then tap Delete Photo or Delete Video. Deleted photos and videos are kept in the Recently Deleted album on iPhone, with a badge showing the remaining days until the item is permanently removed from iPhone. To delete the photo or video permanently before the days expire, tap the item, tap Delete, then tap Delete Photo or Delete Video. If you use iCloud Photo Library beta, deleted photos and videos are permanently removed from all iOS 8.1 devices that use iCloud Photo Library beta with the same Apple ID.
