Hi fkr2.0,
Welcome to the world of iPad deployments! There are a few things I recommend you do before you get started:
First I would watch the iOS Deployment Model Videos on the left side of this page:
http://www.apple.com/education/resources/information-technology.html
Then I recommend you read through these two guides:
iOS 6 Education Deployment Guide
http://images.apple.com/education/docs/ios_6_education_deployment_guide.pdf
Apple Configurator Help Guide
http://help.apple.com/configurator/mac/1.0/
This will give you a solid foundation for managing iPads with Apple Configurator. Once you read through these guides you will likely have more specific questions that you can post to these forums.
Hope this answers your question!! Good luck with your iPad deployment.
~Joe

    how can I get rid of ios6 ? I have had this iPad for less than 2 weeks and made the mistake of "upgrading" to ios6 and now my map is completely useless.  Feel like I have been robbed

    There are alternatives. But none of them have Google street view, able to work on iOS 6. Apple should have offered this as a beta version, for a few more months instead of inflicting us with an inferior product. This iPad will probably be my last Apple product. A shame, because until last a few days ago, I thought the iPad and iPhone were fantastic.
    Apple should quit their petty squabbling with, Google and Samsung and concentrate on supplying the best product.
    Google and Samsung must be enjoying this particular fiasco.

  • When I connect my iPAD to my PC it no longer automatically opens the IPAD device window to allow me to sync. It works ok for my iPOD so not sure what the problem is?.

    When I connect my iPAD to my PC it no longer opens it at  as device in itunes.
    This has worked in the past.
    I don't have problems with my old iPOD. That is recognised and syncs ok.
    Also, the PC recognises the iPAD as a drive  so I'm not sure why it doesn't open it in itunes... Very frustrating.

    Thanks, this helped. THere was a new version of iTunes I downloaded to my PC and now the iPad is recognized.
    The problem now is that I get the message that I cannot backup my iPad as my PC is not authorised, even though when I click to authorize it says my PC is already authorized.
    I will click through the forum to see if there is an answert to this.

  • TS1702 I play Paradise Cove, I do buy coins and gems but have had problems. The first time  I was chared $9.99x2 but had ony purchased $4.99x2 and recieved the $4.99 amount. Now I notice a charge for $4.99 for coins,not sure of the date of purchase, what

    I play Paradise Cove, occasionally I purchase coins and/or gems. There have been several times when I was either charged the wrong amount or charged for a non purchase. I love playing this game but cannot trust that I can purchase what I want without getting ripped off. One case in point was a purchase of $4.99x2, this was for a certain amount of coins and a pacage of $4.99 for gems, which I did recieve however I was charged $9.99x2 for both and there is no plce to take the concern directly. I just recieved a charge of $4.99 for coins, I am not sure of the date of purchace, if it is somewhere in the past week I did not purchase it,my husband has been sick for weeks and I have been tending to him. If there is a purchase they need to charge you within a few days and give you a day of purchase date. What do i do and how can I get to the people directly about the game purchases?
    Thank you,

  • Have purchased an iPad Air - is the 5mb free cloud storage included, for life ?

    Have purchased an iPad Air - is the 5mb free cloud storage included, for life ?

    The 5GB of storage is free with an iCloud account; an iOS device isn't needed to get an iCloud account, and that 5GB doesn't add to the iPad's storage capacity.

  • Hi, I have two iPads, two separate accounts I have purchased apps on one Acc. and would like to use them on my second iPad. How is this possible

    I have two iPads, two separate accounts I have purchased apps on one Acc. and would like to use them on my second iPad. How is this possible

    If you go to Settings > iTunes & AppStore , you can sign out from your account, and sign in with the one you've used to purchase apps.This will not remove any apps you already have on it.
    Then you can go to AppStore and download apps you've purchased (either via "Purchased" button in "Updates", or simply search for them and download them.
    That way you can have multiple accounts' apps on your iPad. When updating, you will be prompted for the credentials for account you've purchased given App with.

  • I'm going to be a senior this year and my school is switching over to the iPad for classroom activities. Which iPad is the best for taking notes, researching, studying, reading, etc?

    I'm going to be a senior this year and my school is switching over to the iPad for classroom activities. Which iPad is the best for taking notes, researching, studying, reading, etc?

    I Recommend the iPad Mini Retina, it's not to big, and not to small. It has the speed of the iPad Air due to it having the same 64 Bit chips. ( And it's a lot cheaper!!) I have one myself and it's perfect for my school work!

  • HT203167 i have purchased 100 songs in last 2 years on itunes  now i am able to find the first 50 songs i am using the original id in all my devices.i even got the invoice of my purchase where can find them all?

    i have purchased 100 songs in last 2 years on itunes  now i am able to find the first 50 songs, i am using the origial id in all my devices.i even got the invoice of my purshace where can find them all?
    ITS NOT EVEN SHOWING UP IN PURCHASED SECTION

    1. iTunes won't offer cloud downloads for songs that it "thinks" are in your library, even if it "knows" the files are missing. If you've exhaustively searched for the missing files and there is no prospect of repair by restoring to them to their original locations, or connecting to new ones, then delete that tracks that display both the missing exclamation mark and are of media kind Purchased/Protected AAC audio file. Don't hide from iTunes in the cloud when asked, close iTunes, then reopen. You can download from the cloud links or iTunes Store > Quicklinks > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer > All songs > Download all.
    2. Why? Not sure, perhaps 3rd party tools or accidental key presses combined with previously hidden warning messages when trying to organize the library. There is a hint that using the feature to downsample media as it is synced to a device may also be involved, though I've not replicated it. Whatever the reason a backup would protect your media.

  • I have purchased an IPAD 2 - everytime I try and update or download a new app i get e.g.  'BBC iplayer available to download when you go in to the itunes store on computer" Why cant I download direct?

    I have purchased an IPAD 2 - everytime I try and update or download a new app i get e.g.  'BBC iplayer available to download when you go in to the itunes store on computer" Why cant I download direct?
    I have an ipod touch and have no similar issues - is this an itunes account setup issue?

    Have you tried logging out of your account via Settings > Store and tapping on your account id on the right-hand side, and the logging back in to see if that makes any difference ?
    You could also try a reset and see if you can then download them after the iPad has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    A third option is to download one of the updates to your computer's iTunes and connect your iPad to it and sync it across, and then see if you can download the other apps/updates directly on the iPad.

    There is no bookmarks tab, expect you are referring to the bookmarks menu on the menu bar ("File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, Help") on your XP system.
    Once your restore your menus on you Window 7 system, you can get rid of the bookmarks button. After going through the 10 steps below your toolbars on your Windows 7 system will be more usable again and like your XP system, none of which has anything to do with Sync.

  • I have had my ipad for 6 months. We had a power failure and ever since my ipad will not charge with the wall adapter that came with it.  It will SLOWLY charge when plugged into computer port. Can anyone help me resolve this?

    I have had my iPad for 6 months.  We recently had a power outage and my iPad was plugged in with the adapter that came with it.  Since then I can not charge iPad with adapter, however I can charge it SLOWLY on my computer.  Do you think the adapter got fried?  Also do you HAVE to have iTunes with an iPad, they were charging me alot of fees for games I did not download NOR give my password to have them downloaded so I cancelled iTunes because fo too many fees. Could this have anyting to do with the battery not charging?

    Since then I can not charge iPad with adapter, however I can charge it SLOWLY on my computer. 
    Well, something's definitely wrong if it won't charge from a wall outlet. Make an appointment at a Genius Bar or take it to an Apple certified repair provider.
    As for iTunes charges, according to Apple  iTunes Store: All Sales Are Final
