richieb Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 So I'm researching an amplifer (imagine that) click a site then immediately screen goes to blue and - "Warning!! iOS crash report Due to third party on your phone?ios has crashed. Contact support for immediated fix" First this is an iPad not an iPhone, the header box for this "fix" is http://funnyquote.info I have not gone to this site for fear of infecting my iMac. My iPad is locked solid, nothing, even after shutting off several times. But I can still play solitare. Blue warning screen is all that shows and the screen is totally unresponsive to the touch. Experts - any ideas - please. Thanks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvu80 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 I am a recent Ipad convert and I have never seen that happen. There have been several IOS updates in the last couple of months, maybe that is in response to what happened with your ipad. I am NOT an expert or authority on IOS, but it really sounds like you got hit with a computer virus, the kind Apple IOS is NOT supposed to get.

Experts - any ideas - please. Thanks Most likely, you found a virus/malicious site. I'd first try a soft reset by holding your power and home button until you see the Apple logo. After that, it should reboot and I'd then go into settings, go to Safari settings, and reset the history and website data. Had to do that once before on my wife's iPad and it worked just fine after that. If all of that doesn't work, you may need to give Apple support a try.

jimjimbo Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 I hate to even ask this, but which site did you click on? (Please don't post the full link address) And, don't quite understand, if it's locked solid, unresponsive, how do you play solitare? You might want to state the model number of the ipad, and which iOS you have installed. Hope you did a backup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapsnb01 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 I forgot to mention that if the soft reset doesn't fix the problem, under general settings there is also the option to do a full reset...you'd lose everything that's not backed up, but that's better than an unuseable iPad.

I really can't say, I was researching a Forte Model 5 amplifier, might have been audio review? Really don't know. I have nothing on the machine that would need backup. This is only a surfing playtoy. I would have to think backl a bit but there is nothing on the machine that would be lost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richieb Posted October 5, 2015 Author Share Posted October 5, 2015 Problem fixed A quick check on the interweb found this a common iPhone scam used to bilk idiots, nearly was me, out of $60-80 USD for a fix. Although this happened on an iPad not iPhone the software is still Aplle iOS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
