Please install this important security update to iOS 7 on your iPad or iPhone or iPod Touch.

From Apple: "Impact: An attacker with a privileged network position may capture or modify data in sessions protected by SSL/TLS. This security update provides a fix for SSL connection verification. For information on the security content of this update, please visit this website: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1222"

You can read about it by doing an Internet search, but here’s one article explaining the issue: Apple Issues Patch for Security Risk in iOS7 (http://blogs.wsj.com/digits/2014/02/22/apple-issues-patch-for-security-risk-in-ios7/)

To find and install the patch, go to Settings--->General--->Software Update.

(iOS 7.1 is expected to roll out next month, complete with further bug fixes.)

Apple sends security updates directly to your ipad. I wouldn't trust another source, but I'm going to check right now.

PS Yes there is a security update on the Settings on my iPad.

Thanks for the alert that an update was available. Much appreciated. Just FYI, I noticed after the update it turned my Bluetooth on automatically. Did this both on the pad and the phone. I generally keep this set to off because I very rarely use it and it consumes battery when set to on. So if you don't use Bluetooth, just go to settings, and you'll see Bluetooth listed at the top. Click on it and set it to off position.

Maybe someone can help me.when I go to settings on my iPad, I go to install the patch, and it says that it can not install as I am not connected to the internet....BUT I AM! Why would it say that, and what can I do?

Did you close the setting app by double click home button, then flick up on the app? If so, did you try again and get the same message? If you did, try turning the pad off, then on, and try again. Please report back and let us know how this worked...or not.

I double clicked the home button, but do not understand what you mean FLIP UP ON THE APP? Flip up how? What app? I am not savvy at this!

When you double click the home button, do you see how it turns the apps smaller? This shows all of the apps you currently have open. You can scroll with your finger, right or left, and should see a small screen of the app and the apps icon at the bottom. To close any of those apps you put your finger on it, and at the same time push up, and take your finger off. It's sort of a fast motion. You push up and take your finger off at the same time. Also called flicking. So double click the home button do this and look for the app that looks like the settings, the grey app with the gear on it. When you find it, flick it up. This turns the app off. The double click the home button again to get back to the home screen. Then click on the app again from your home screen

Glad this thread was a helpful heads-up!

Lynnj, Thanks for the advice about Bluetooth. The update turned it on in my devices, too. As you said, there's no need for us to have it switched on and consuming battery life if we don't use it.
