Security question: When installing a Plugin from a website why will you not allow me to research it to see if it is a virus?

I don't like to install Plugins without doing some research on them first. http://news.sky.com/home/sky-live-tv wants to install a plugin. Have they been hacked? How do I know what I am installing? Facebook wants to install a plugin after their latest update, will it crash Firefox. Give me some insight on plugin/status bar that Asks "Install Missing Plugin" with some information about the creator and the name of the plugin.

That's a good idea.
Incidentally, that page uses the Windows Media Player plugin, at least when I visit it.

    Check to make sure you are not typing your message in the Subject line.  If you are, it won't let you send the message.  Cut and paste the message into the Message field and you should be all set.
    FYI, you can disable the Subject line from your messages in Settings/Messages.

  • HT5312 How do I change my security questions, when I already have 3 and a account? You only explain things when you make an account, which obviously doesnt help if you already have one.

    How do you change your security questions? Apple has changed everything once again and I HATE IT!!! I never had to use my security questions and now I do. I have the ipod touch 1, obviously it has been forever since I've made them so i dont remember them. They tell me to go to my Apple ID and click security tab to send an email. Well, What the heck do you do when the only way to do that is by remembering the security questions and answers, when that is your problem??? I NEED HELP!!!!

    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.

    When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down the page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use, or if it's available in your country you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570

  • HT1277 when i delete emails from apple mail why does it not delete them from the account??

    Why doesn't it delete them from both??

    Keeping mail in sync is a function of what type of mail account you have. Sounds like you have an IMAP or Exchange account, & that's the way things are designed to work. Why don't you just create another folder on the server & move these emails to that folder. That way, they'll be out of your inbox, but still available on your laptop.

  • HT201363 why is it asking me to answer my security questions when i am trying to purchase an app?

    So i sent a $25 itunes gift card to my friend through his email from my iphone and when he tried to purchase an app on both his phone and ipad 2 it is telling him to put in a sercurity code and answer his security questions when all he's trying to do is redeem the money to purchase the app!! Help me so i can help him lol

    It is asking your security questions to verify your identity.  To protect your account.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
    -If you established a rescue email address, there will be a link on the "Passwords & Security" page of id.apple.com.  Clicking the link will send the reset to your rescue email address (NOTE:  This is not the same address as your Apple ID email)
    -If there is no link on the page, then you didn't establish a rescue email address.  Contact AppleCare at 800.694.7466 (If you are in the US), and ask for account security.  You will need to answer some questions to verify your identity, AND you will need access to a computer to generate a temporary support pin.
    -If you are not in the US, click http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699 - Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security

  • HT1918 how to chNGE SECURITY QUESTIONS WHEN I NEVER SET THEM UP

    i never set up security questions and i dont know how to change them

    I´m just guessing here but, your being told something like "Apple security enhancements" and that it tells you to create/verify your security questions when you try to purchase an application/music/etc from your
    iPhone 4S, after updating to iOS 6?
    If so
    - Double tap you home button and close all application that´s running on you iOS device
    - Go to Settings > Safari > Clear History and Clear Cookies and Data
    - Open App store, download a free application and enter/verify your information

  • Am being prompted to enter security questions when making a purchase on my new IPad.  I don't believe I have ever setup security questions on my apple id.  How to I create new security questions?

    I am being prompted to enter security questions when making a purchase on my new IPad.  I don't believe I have ever setup security questions on my apple id.  I have tried logging into my apple id and have chosen the security and priviacy settings to set up security questions.  However I am prompted to enter answers to security questions and am told they don't match.  How to I create new security questions or reset them? 

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

  • I just got a new ipad 2 and i can't buy stuff on it asks for security question when my apple id was right why

    i just got a new ipad 2 and i can't buy stuff on it asks for security question when my apple id was right why

    It's a security feature that was brought in a few months ago - when you try to purchase something for the first time on a new computer or device then you will be asked for the answers to your questions (or to set them up if you haven't yet created them).

  • I'm being asked the answers to security questions when I try to download an album but I've never gave the info originally. How do I get past it ?

    I'm being asked the answers to security questions when I try to download an album but I've never gave the info originally. How do I get past it ?

    If you log into your account are you able to set them ? Go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side are you able to select the questions/answers ? If not then is there a reset link beneath the 2 questions ? (The reset link will only show if you have a rescue email address on your account.)
    If not then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple in your country to get the questions reset.

    Didn't the link to contact the iTunes Store staff in the 'Additional Information' section of that article work for you? If you don't already have a valid rescue email address, only Apple itself can reset the questions.
