With an iPad do you need to cover it with an antivirus cover as I keep getting a message from Skype that I'm not covered

With an iPad do I need to buy an anti virus to cover the iPad as I keep getting messages from Skype telling me I'm not covered?.

Those skype messages are spam. iPads do not need anti-virus because, as of now, there is no known virus for the iPad. (and know that a 'virus' has a very specific definition....a program that spreads itself by moving from file to file within your device, 'contaminating' one program after another.....the 'sandbox' nature of the iPad keeps different programs/apps from talking to each other, thus a virus, by that defintion, cannot spread)
That said the iPad is vulnerable to browser hijacks and redirects and forms of malware....but all those do require the user to do something to help them spread.
That skype ad, are you using some sort of free app? Often 'free' apps come at the price of you getting ads like that. Also, if you're using safari and you're seeing some sort of popup ad for that skype anti-virus it wn't install on your iPad since the application thinks you're on a comptuer and it will install that junk on your computer but won't run on the iPad's operating system.
Chances are that message from skype is either spam or phishing or some sort of malwere wanting you to tap 'yes' so it can try to install.

You cannot use iCloud Storage to suppliment your iPad. It doesn't work that way.

I set up my sons ipod touch with my apple id and he is getting text messages from my iphone

I set up my son's ipod touch with my apple id and he is getting text messages from my Iphone. How can I set up Imessage from his email account instead of my email/phone #?

You can go to Settings>Messages>Send and Receive and uncheck the phone number and delete your email address. You can add his own email address. The only way to delete the phone number is to use an Apple ID for Messages that is not associated with an iPhone. You can change it by Go to Settings>Messages>Apple ID and sign out and sign in with the other ID

I recently bought some new albums and can't play them on my ipod

I just encountered the same problem on my 2 month old MBPro. I found a work around by changing USB ports. As for the actual cause or the reason why that worked, I dont know. The USB port I was using works fine with my phone or other USB devices.

I keep getting a message from Tme warner that I need to reboot and contact you...

I can't go to any websites and keep getting this message above...

Some added toolbar and anti-virus add-ons are known to cause
Firefox issues. '''Disable All of them.'''
Is Tme warner your ISP? What does the message actually say?
Do other programs you have access the web okay?
Network Proxy
Type '''about:preferences#advanced'''<Enter> in the address bar.
Under '''Advanced,''' Select '''Network.'''
Look for '''Configure How Firefox Connects''' and press the '''Settings''' button.
Check the settings.
Some problems occurs when your Internet security program was set
to trust the previous version of Firefox, but no longer recognizes your
updated version as trusted. Now how to fix the problem: To allow
Firefox to connect to the Internet again;
* Make sure your Internet security software is up-to-date (i.e. you are running the latest version).
* Remove Firefox from your program's list of trusted or recognized programs. For detailed instructions, see
'''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/configure-firewalls-so-firefox-can-access-internet Configure firewalls so that Firefox can access the Internet.]''' {web link}

I keep getting this message "Your current security settings do not allow this file to be downloaded" and I dont' know which settings I need to change.

Would you please provide me with an answer.

That is a message from the Windows OS, Firefox is not giving you this message. Your security settings are local to your computer & windows itself, so you need to look in your IE or Internet Explorer's security settings.

I have an IPOD Classic with purchased music and I want to sync it with a different PC but I get the message your device is synced with another PC. How do I resolve this issue? I don't have the previous PC.

I want to sync it with a different PC
On that PC, launch iTunes. From the menu bar top of your screen click Store / Authorize This Computer.

I keep getting the message on iTunes that my Shuffle (which is current on updates) needs to be restored. It is showing up in devices, but when I try to add songs to it, I don't get the little progress bar showing me that the song is being added. ***?

I updated to the new iTunes last week. Today I plugged in my 4th generation Shuffle to add some new songs. The shuffle appears in Devices, but when I try to add songs, I'm not getting the progress bar at the top of the screen, so I'm assuming the song isn't being added. I tried ejecting the Shuffle and plugging it in again, and I got a message that my iPod needed to be restored before it could be used with iTunes -- even though the screen also said the Shuffle is up to date on the software. I finally gave in and restored it, but I continue to get the same message. When I eject the iPod and try to play it now, I'm getting nothing, and when it is connected to the usb port, the orange light is continually flashing. I've been trying to figure this out for about 3 hours now, so if anyone could help me, I'd be eternally grateful!

The 1st and 2nd gen shuffles do not have an automatic syncing mode, like later shuffles and the "big" iPods. It is maintained manually (or by using the Autofill feature).
If the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar. The shuffle appears in the sidebar, under DEVICES, when connected.
To add songs to the shuffle... Show a list of songs in the iTunes window. For example, you can select Music under LIBRARY (in the sidebar) to show your complete iTunes music library list. Select a song and drag it to the shuffle in the sidebar. You can do this with more than one song selected. Alternately, select the song(s), right-click the selection, and choose the command to Add to Playlist -> [name of iPod].
To remove songs from the shuffle... Select the shuffle in the sidebar. To the right, it's Settings screen is shown. Toward the top, where it says Settings, click on On This iPod (to the right). The list of songs on the shuffle is shown below. Select the song you want to remove and press Delete on the keyboard. You can do this with more than one song selected.
NOTE: At the bottom of the shuffle's list of songs, there are controls for the Autofill feature. You can also use Autofill to fill your shuffle from your music library or from a specific playlist.

I need to create an account for my daughter and I keep getting the message that the user id already exsists. When I checked to see if the user id was in the system it told me that it didn't find one. How can I create another account for her?

I do not want to have to assign her another email address because this is the one she has used as long as long as she has had the ipod. She is under my email account but has her own address.What do I need to do to fix this? She got a card for Christmas that I can't put in to an account for her and she cannot use. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks!

You must create the account using an Apple device, a Mac (Lion or greater) or an IOS device (IOS5 or greater). Having done that you will be able to sign in from your Windows machine.
FYI, iCal is an application that can display calendars from iCloud (and others) it is not a calendar itself, merely a calendar client. In Windows Outlook is the calendar client.

HT1848 when i connect my ipad to my mac mini and try to transfer purchases to library i keep getting a message saying macintosh HD has timed out HELP?

I mean have you synced with a different computer than the computer that gave you this message in iTunes? Or is this the second computer that you are trying to sync with?
If it is - that is why you are getting that message. You can only sync with one iTunes library at a time. If you sync with another iTunes library, iTunes will erase the current contents of the device.

With an iPad do you need to cover it with an antivirus cover as I keep getting a message from Skype that I'm not covered
