Should the permissions in apps concern me?

Can anyone explain the inherent risk in granting an app such as a game permission to access device data, pin etc.  Are these developers using our information or are such things required to properly execute the app?  If there is the risk is the anitvirus app I saw a legitimate tool in combating risks?  thanks

I don't allow apps to access my bbm, location or info. the apps seem to work anyways, if I have problems with the apps I delete them.

  • What should default permissions be of the Groups folder be?

    While trying to sort out our Group shared folders permissions problems I might have changed the permissions of the Group folder (/Volumes/Server/Groups) in Server Admin.
    Can anyone tell me what the default permissions for that folder should be?

    I had a similar problem:
    <http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5876784#5876784>
    and Gerrit came to the rescue! Wonder if you migrated from Tiger and if so then the above thread might have some answers for you. Seems like the standard Group ID (gid) changed from Tiger to Leopard and has wreaked havoc on file sharing. I was able to remedy my situation (so far - still not thoroughly tested) by changing the gid of all files back to 20...which matches "staff" on the clients. This is still confusing and Apple's documentation is half-baked regarding this as far as I'm concerned.

    Does the same thing happen on any other books that you have in the app ? If not then it's probably just that one book, in which can you could try deleting the book and re-downloading it - if it re-downloads in the same state then try the 'report a problem' from your purchase history :http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1933

  • Should data entered in apps purchased in the Apps Store sync on my iPad and iPhone?

    Should data entered in apps purchased in the Apps Store sync on my iPad and iPhone?

    Syncing between iOS devices should work automatically once you enable it for each app in its Settings. Syncing between iDevices and your desktop, at this time, is more comlicated.

  • Apply permissions on the site mailbox app

    Hi All,
     Would like to know how can i apply special permissions on site mailbox? assume that i have a special group called L1,
    which has the contribute permissions at the sub site level. [ also  i have subsite1 members, subsite1 owners].
    so can i  apply permissions[say contribute permissions on site mailbox] on this site mailbox on this group L1.
    IF L2 is the other group, then L2 is having a "View Only" permissions and L3 is other group,Read permissions.
    so in this way, i wanna achieve multiple groups can have a different permissions on this site mailbox.
    I checked this link Site Mailbox Permissions . but didn't get this specific info. in the site. 
    can anyone pls  confirm this: 
    is this possible?
    any help is appreciated

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to assign permission for site mailbox.
    Per my knowledge, we could not assign permission for the site mailbox app.
    When the site mailbox has been created successfully, the permission will be automatically assigned.
    The users in the default owners group or the default members group for the site (anyone with Contribute permissions) can use the site mailbox from SharePoint.
    We could not assign permission, such as view only, read permission for the app.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Jason

    Is this a new Apple iD? If it is, and you have already set it up, then you have two options:
    1.     Temporarily put a Credit Card or Gift Card on the account to download the free app. If you put a credit card, then once you have downloaded the app, you should be able to go into your Account preferences and change the payment option to = None.
    2.     You can download the fee App, and then set up a new Apple ID.

I think it's a virus or a corruption? Can anyone tell me or help me and let me know what I'm dealing with here or wether I'm mistaken and should leave it alone?
    I'd appreciate it.
    Thanks,

    Why do you want to delete those?  What have you done so far to do that?
    I doubt that Mac has a virus.  On the other hand, your attempts to deleted those folders may have caused corruption.
    Two other comments:
    1) Is there a reason that Mac hasn't been updated to OS X 10.5.8?
    2) You've been misled by the poor field labeling on this Web site into trying to type your entire post into the "subject" field.  In the future, just put a short summary of your post into that field.

  • Blackberry world should clearly state what apps the OS is suiitable for

    Very unhappy I have bought 2 apps so far that are not compatible with my Q10.
    One was "Dictionary +" and the other was "Unit Converter Ultimate"
    Dictionary + didn't work at all, while the Converter (full paid version) was exactly the same as the free version.
    I feel like I've been made a fool of.
    BlackBerry world should clearly state these apps are NOT suitable for Q10.
    I am now trying to get a REFUND. But my point is, I should not have been put in this ridiculous situation.
    Blackberry World please get your act together and so a bit more professionalism.
    Anyone else had these problems?
    Mark

    If the application is downloaded through BlackBerry World ON the Q10, then it should be compatible.
    If you download and find out later it is NOT compatible, the refund process is discussed here:
