About Email setting through Apple Configurator 1.01

Dear all,
Email function not work when I try make a profile for my school through apple configurator. It is said " set on the device". But on the device, its in grey. I can not input anything on it. Any suggestions?
Thank you.

Are you supervising the devices or leaving them unsupervised within Configurator? If you supervise the devices, the users will not get prompted and it is left at a default value. It will only prompt the user when the devices are unsupervised.

HT6029 Having trouble restricting the restore function on an iPad through Apple Configurator

Having trouble restricting the restore function on an iPad through Apple Configurator
I cannot find the setting the allow/disable this feature.

Configuration profiles do not allow you to apply a static IP address to a device.
Instead, it would be highly recommended to configure static IP addressing within the DHCP server itself. This would accomplish what you want without worrying about which proifle goes on what device, etc. Configurator can also export the MAC addresses to make life easier in setting this up.
Right click the 'All Devices' in the Supervise tab, click Export Info > Device Information > WiFi MAC Address.

Restoring iPads through Apple Configurator

We are a library that has 8 iPads that we are trying to set up through Apple Configurator. Everything has been working well so far, but we've been having problems with the check in/out function. The iPad starts the restore process as it's supposed to, but it does not complete (on any of our iPads). The screen turns off and the spinner appears briefly, then the Apple logo appears on the screen. Up to this point things seem fine, but then the apple logo dissapears and it looks like the iPad has turned itself off. It does not turn on again, even after several minutes. I can turn it on manually at this point, and then the restore process will finish correctly. But there is no way to restore without having to turn the iPad back on manually in the middle of the process. Has anyone had this problem with Apple Configurator before? Is it just a bug in the most recent version (we didn't have this problem up until a few weeks ago).
Our iPads are running the latest version of iOS (6.0.1), and the Mac has the latest version of OS X (10.8.1). Apple Configurator is version 1.2.1. Thanks!

create and deploy a backup that doesnt have epub metadata in it.
if you have a restore image with the same UDID as the device and the one of its previous backups, the problem is you have itunes checked to sync books when you imported the backup into config'erater.
if you import a backup of a device with no .epub location data, then cant put them on there
you may also be able to go into itunes and delete the appdatastore content for ibooks, ensure the sync option for ibooks is unchecked, construct clean backup, import, deploy.

Question about email setting: how do i change the setting so i need to login to check my email. Currently it automatically come to the inbox without the need to log in. Thanks

Question about email setting: how do i change the setting so i need to login to check my email. Currently it automatically come to the inbox without the need to log in.

You don't. Email comes in either by push or when you invoke the email app. Ther is no password except when you first set up the account. If your iPad is not being used as your personal device and you need to shield emails from other users, then don't use the email app. Instead, use web mail if available from your provider.

How can I reduce the amount of user prompts for Email setup in Apple Configurator?

I am working on deploying profiles via Apple's new Apple Configurator which allows me to install apps and settings exactly how I want them. My question pertains to the email setup where anything left blank in the payload gets prompted on the device for user input. Is there anyway to have the user only enter in their user name and password once and use that for the SMTP outgoing settings as well? I'd like to reduce the user interaction to a minimal.Currently they enter in their full name, email address, user name for incoming, password for incoming, and then user name AGAIN for outgoing (I checked the box for 'Outgoing password same as incoming'). Is there anyway to retain the username and avoid having the user enter it in twice?
If not, I can make do with how it is, but was rather curious if this is possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'll try this again starting it as new, but when I restored it before (after deleting all the apps and music off it) it didn't help. Thanks for the suggestion!

HT201092 EAS Email Profile via Apple Configurator

Does anyone knows if it's possible on an iOS 8 device to switch off the option "Encryption by default" and keep the end user's encryption cert available? When this is done via Apple Configurator the cert disappears and Per Message option cannot be used.

I had the exact same problem and was deleting the profile manually...huge time waste. Called the Apple support with another problem and they told me when the iPads are synced the last thing they do is put the profiles onto the iPad.
If your profile you have loaded onto the iPad already doesn't allow downloading apps and such, the profile already being on the iPad won't let you install apps.
So the solution is to do a double sync. UNCHECK the profile that is on each iPad and do a quick sync to delete the profile. Then get all apps ready and such including imagines/restore backup, then check the profile you want back on the iPad and do another sync.
Worked for me and saved TONS of time.

Set Email signature through configuration profile

Is there a way to set the iOS email signature through a configuration profile (.mobileconfig)? If not, is there any other solution instead of copy-pasting the signature into the Mail.app prefs?
Regards,
Christophe

Hi,
Automatic E mail notification can be acheived as follows
1. First of all decide on what basis would you want to trigger the action for eg. based on status or Date profile ...
2.Make partner dependent in the action definition and put the responsible partner function.( for eg:- employee responsible)
3.Now for your action profile maintain the Schedule /Start condition (if status = in process).
This will trigger the action (partner dependent) when status is in process and the document is saved(Action Definition) .If you want the mail to go after a stipuleted time you can attach a date rule to your action and a date profile with that rule to your transaction type .
Please reward if it helps!
Cheers

I have set up our school ipads to be supervised by Apple Configurator and am using VPP to buy apps. I now find the supervised ipads do not allow the pupils to download photos or movies etc. Any suggestions would be great please.

I have set up our school ipads to be supervised by Apple Configurator and am using VPP to buy apps. I did this initially as our school internet connection was stopping us from being able to update the IOS and our County was offering a managed system, Lightspeed, which took control of every device in school which proved very expensive. I now find the supervised ipads do not allow the pupils to download photos or movies etc. As we frequently use the ipads as cameras this is causing us a problem. We have a school imac that I use to keep the devices updated with Apple Configurator (not connected to our network), and this doesn't seem to offer any solution to download them either. I was told there was a setting in Apple Configurator to allow other computers to download from supervised devices, but I can't see it anywhere. I am very new to this so any advice or help would be greatly appreciated please.

I assume you are wanting to take the photos and movies off the iPads?
Connect the iPad to a Apple computer. Open "Image Capture". Any photos or video can me imported to the desktop or other location on your computer.
I had this same problem last year and as we have no wifi I asked lots of people at Apple what I could do - no one provided this answer (a little unbelievable!). If you have wifi using something like dropbox would be an easier solution.
Hope this helps

Apple configurator + wireless management

Can I manage an Apple Configurator ipad cart of 32 ipads wirelessly using Apple server?

Hi Simon,
A device must be Supervised in order to take advantage of all of the restrictions available to MDMs. To the best of my knowledge, Apple Configurator is the only tool that can "Supervise" a device. Once Supervised, then an MDM like Profile Manager can take advantage of all the restrictions and settings available for wireless management.
(from page 19 of the iOS 6 Education Deployment Guide)
Additional settings and restrictions are available to Supervised devices running iOS 6 or later. Once a device is Supervised these restrictions can be configured via configuration profiles that are delivered via Apple Configurator, MDM or manual download. These restrictions include:
Single App Mode - Locks user into a single, specified application. If powered down, the specified application will launch at boot. Consider using MDM to enable and disable this setting for dynamic control.
Global Network Proxy for HTTP - Routes most all device web traffic through a specified proxy server or setting. This setting is applied across all Wi-Fi SSIDs and cellular networks. Install this setting via Apple Configurator in a non-removable profile for strongest enforcement. Consider using a PAC file for greater flexibility with this setting.
Allow Removing Apps - Disabling prevents users from removing apps from the home screen.
Allow Use of Game Center - Disabling removes Game Center icon from the home screen. Use this setting in conjunction with disabling both Allow multiplayer gaming and Allow adding Game Center friends to completely disable Game Center on supervised devices.
Allow iMessage - Disabling removes Messages icon from the home screen.
Allow iBookstore - Disabling prevents access to the iBookstore while allowing use of the iBooks app for reading books and PDFs.
Allow iBookstore Sexually Explicit Content - Allow prevents access to adult content from the iBookstore.
Allow Configuration Profiles Installation - Disabling prevents users from manually installing configuration profiles directly on the device, which includes enrolling in an MDM server.
Is there another way to "Supervise" a device without Apple Configurator?

Meraki MDM, Apple Configurator & Apple ID Passwords

Currently I am using Apple Configurator to manage my school's iPads. Pusing profiles, settings, and of coarse apps (both free and purchased? VPP codes).
Ok have been trying to figure out a way to use an MDM solution to manage everything so I don't have to physically plug them into the dock of the computer that is using Apple Configurator.
I found Meraki MDM, signed up for the free account, took care of all the push certificate stuff, and even installed the Meraki Management Profile through Apple Configurator on some test devices.
Through Meraki's control panel, pushed out a free app to the devices.
Here is my problem and question: Is there any way I can use an MDM solution WITHOUT having to use an Apple ID and Password to install a pushed update? If it can be through Meraki, that would be awesome since it is free. I am just weary of either:
A- Having individuals (teachers or students) using their personal Apple ID & Password. I don't want their stuff being associated with a school device.
B- Passing out the generic School Apple ID & password.
I know I can make a free Apple ID using a bogus e-mail address, but I think worst case scenario with this stuff- I don't want a student to have access to this account and password and start messing with it or even give them the ability to change the password. I know that 99% of students won't care, but there is always that 1%.
Anywho, if anyone can let me know if this is even possible or prived some links to specific show me how it can be set up using either Meraki or Apple Configurator. Or if there is another way to do this using another product, please let me know. The key here is not having to having to use an Apple ID & Password to push out Mobile updates via the MDM.
Thanks!

Hi Mr_Shul,
Your question addresses a feature that many of us want Apple to support...the ability to wirelessly distribute apps to school owned devices without requiring end user authentication. However, the process you are asking for is currently unsupported by Apple and most MDM providers. The only supported way Apple currently has to distribute VPP codes tied to one Apple ID is through Supervised devices in Apple Configurator. That being said, there are some unsupported workarounds that can "technically" make this possible depending on the MDM provider you have (Meraki is not one of them). Unfortunately I can't discuss that here. Check with other MDM providers to see if they can point you in the right direction. You may find a solution that will work for you.
Hope this helps. Good luck!

Apple Configurator: Profile Enrollment Trouble

I am having trouble installing the Standard Enrollment Profile on a set of iPad's. I get this error when I try to install Standard Enrollment Profile on them through Apple Configurator. I was wondering if any of you knew a fix or workaround to this problem? Thanks!

Based on limited experience with multiple profiles, it appears that the most restrictive profile takes precedence. For example, if one restricts the deleting and installing of apps and the other one allows for the deleting of apps and allows for installing apps a device with both profiles will not allow apps to be installed or deleted.

How can i transfer my installation of Apple Configurator from one Mac to another?

I work at a secondary school in the UK. We currently have 20ish ipads, all configured and supervised through Apple configurator. As the mac we were using is rather old, we bought a new one, and I need to transfer all the apple configurator date from the old one to the new one.
I tried using the information from this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5194?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
I don't want to do a full restore from the old to the new as the old one has so much extra stuff on its HDD that isn't necessary any more. I only want to transfer the configurator data across so that I can plug our ipads into the new mac and they will work as before.
Is this possible?
Thanks.

The Apple Document covers this. See the footnotes of my google docs
I've done this, it is easy, but takes time and patience.
On the existing mac with OSX and Configurator:
========================================
- run disk utility and verify your disks are ok, a must
- make note of the user logged in when using configurator such as "bob"
- connect a new or newly reformatted USB formatted for Apple
- run time machine and backup to the USB
- Take the mac off the network,
- Buy a new mac
- setup the mac with a new logon account like Paul or "bob2" do not use BOB !!
- finish the new purchase setup, get to your desktop
- now run the migraiton assistant moving bob from the USB to the new mac
- reboot, logon as bob, launch configurator and connect just one ipad. Test

Has anyone found the solution to email disappearing with Apple Mail?

Hello,
I have seen quite a number of postings about email disappearing with Apple's Mail client, regardless of what account they are using (yahoo, gmail, aol, etc.). What I have noticed is that email vanishes right in front of my eyes from the folders I have created to keep my email in order. Sometimes I move a message or several and I see them in the folder for a day or two, and then a few days later they are simply gone. This happens from the sent folder too. It is random. No, they are not in the trash, or junk, or anywhere else. Doing a full search turns nothing. They are really, really gone.
Sometimes, I go to a folder and I see how in a second one or several messages disappear from the list and that is it. Never to be found again. Not even if I visit the web-based account I can retrieve them. They are gone.
The worst part is when they disappear from my sent folder immediately after they leave the outbox, so I am not sure if it sent or not, and I have to retype the whole thing again just to make sure.
This is extremely annoying, and I have seen I am not the only one to which this happens. Has anyone found a fix for this bug? Should I simply keep all my email in my inbox? Or should I just give up on Apple Mail and use Thunderbird?
I have an old powerbook G4 with 10.4 and Mail 2. Not like it makes much difference, I've seen people complaining about the same issue in later versions of OS and Mail.
Thanks for any help
Annie
