Sorry might sound dumb but am new to this. I'm getting loads of junk emails. I've noticed my firewall is turned off should I turn it on?

No, a firewall is for blocking connections based on ports and protocols.  You could block all of your email with it by blocking pop or imap ports, but then you would get no emails at all.
You already are protected from direct connections initiated from the internet if you have a router.  Don't turn anything else on.  Unsubscribe to any mailing lists that you might be on and filter your junk email in your mail application.

  • Help! This probably sounds dumb, but I got my Ipod touch fourth generation yesterday and they said I could sync the music from my computer to the Ipod. Could you guys help me do that? All the websites I have looked on don't help. Thanks!

  • This is going to sound dumb but I just got a call from someone claiming to be with Microsoft Windows tech dept. Apparently something malicious attacking my computer.  I hung up because I don't believe Mac uses Microsoft Window Operating System - right?

    This is going to sound dumb but I just got a call from someone claiming to be with Microsoft Windows tech dept. Apparently something malicious attacking my computer.  I hung up because Mac doesn't use Microsoft Window Operating System - right?  I have Mac OS X.  I have loaded Microsoft Office 2011.  Can that allow something malicious or is this guy a scammer and I was right to hang up???

    Actually you can install Windows on your MBP via Bootcamp.
    You should have kept the individual on the phone for as long as you can tolerate.  The time he wastes with you is time he cannot spend scamming an innocent victim. 
    You can always politely ask the caller to hold while you 'answer the front door' or the like and just set down the phone and go about your business.  The caller will eventually hang up. 
    But your analysis was 100% correct.
    Ciao.

    my iphone 4s was working fine then it just turned off and wont turn back on but my home button dosent work what do i do?

    Apart from the battery being dead (make sure by plugging into a power source for 15 minutes), hold the sleep/wake button and home button together for 10 - 20 seconds or until the apple logo appears.

  • This may sound dumb, but is there an app or a monthly subscription to carry wi-fi or internet connection. so i dont lose connection when i leave my house. want internet connection at all time

    I have an ipod touch 5th gen.  storage capacity is 27.9 / 23.3 available.  IOS 7.1.2    model # ME978LL/A.   My question is, now this may sound dumb. But i was wanting to know if there is a app or a monthly subscription to have internet connection or wi-fi at all times instead of just shutting my ipod off very few apps work without internet connection almost dosen't seem worth 300 dollars.  THANK YOU FOR YOUR INFO.

    Your internet connection depends on access to a wifi network. When you leave your house you go out of range of your own network, so the only way to connect is to find a free or paid public wi-fi service in the location you are in at the time; the alternative is to use your iPhone for what is called 'tethering' (providing a wifi signal you iPod can connect to) but it you have an iPhone you would want to use that anyway (and many service providers don't allow it - in any case it comes expensive as you are using a mobile data connection).

  • HT201401 My iphone5 will not completely power off. I pressthe power button on top of the phone, the slider bar appears which I slide to turn off. It turns off but then will come right back on. Any one know what the prob might be and how to fix it?

    Does anyone have a solution to the iphone5 powering off completely but then turning right back on?

    To get rid of "pop-up ads and other crap on my computer when I am on the internet", click on Safari in the Menu bar, and select Preferences. Next select Extensions. Delete all of them. Restart Safari.
    The first step in addressing the black screen is an SMC reset.
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer. 
    Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

  • IPhone 5 submerged in water, but did not turn off/will not turn off. Best course of action?

    My iPhone 5 was just in the sink under running water and mostly submerged for a few seconds. It stayed on with all buttons working, clear screen and clear camera lens. I have tried to turn it off, but every time I try it reboots. I removed the SIM - it was completely dry, but since I can't see the inside I'm assuming there's definitely moisture in there.
    I currently have it in an airtight bag with silica gel, and I'm planning to leave it for a day or two, but it's still on. Should I keep trying to turn it off, or is it better for me to just leave it? I don't have the necessary equipment to remove the battery, unfortunately.

    Last attempt to turn phone off actually did turn the phone off. Not going to touch it for a day or two, and hoping for the best.

  • This may sound dumb but can i return music that i have bought?

    I bought an album i was intending on buying, so im wondering if i can return it?

    All purchases are final - you can't return something you've already downloaded. If you have purchased something in error you could try asking iTunes Support whether they could consider refunding you just this once: they have been known to do so but please be aware that they are under absolutely no obligation to do so.
    To contact them, go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; select 'All Products and Services' in the first column, 'iTunes' in the second column and then 'iTunes Store' in the third column.
