App Folders in Configurator

I'm using Configurator to control 30 iPads at my school, I can backup a master and push to all but can't use the 'Supervise' function. Each time I try to supervise all the folders disappear and I'm left with a mess of apps.
I have also checked all the skip boxes under the Setup in Prepare but still get the white 'Hello' screen on every iPad after doing the push - very time consuming to go through each one to set up after an update.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Stephen

Hi Stephen,
Start with a new iPad. Supervise it with Configurator.
After its supervised, go through any setup windows and adjust any settings.
Add apps via Configurator.
Create folders of apps and make any final changes to Settings, Home Screen, etc.
When it looks exactly the way you want it, run a Supervised Backup of the iPad.
Use that Supervised Backup and restore it to all of the other iPads.
Hope this helps!

  • MDM apps in folders with Configurator restore

    I am wondering if anyone has pushed iPad apps with an MDM and tried to put them in folders on the iPads? I have a master iPad setup with all of the apps pushed from our MDM(Casper) in folders. I backed that up in supervision mode in Configurator and restored that backup to the rest of the iPads. Then I pushed out the apps to the iPads using Casper and they didn't go into folders. I tried it the other way around where I pushed the apps and then restored the backup and it creates the folders but doesn't install all of the apps or stalls out on them. Has anyone been successful with this? Thanks!

    Hi Jon,
    I use Casper too and I have not been successful in getting apps into folders when installing apps via MDM. When I first started using Casper, I tried the same thing you did (master iPad with apps that were installed from Casper, run Supervsied backup, restore backup to new iPads, try installing apps from Casper) and had the same results you did. From everyone I've talked to, its seems that the only way to maintain folders with apps is with Configurator and with iTunes (using Configurator backups and iTunes backups respectively). My testing has found this to be true.
    I've since separated from the thought of using folders on our iPads in our school district. We now teach the kids to use the iPad's Search feature to find apps. This also teaches the kids that Search can find so much more than just apps. So while folders are nice to keep apps organized, teaching the kids about Search can be more helpful in the long run. Also, folders can get altered by the kids once you give them the iPads. Using Search they can find the app even if they inadvertently moved the app out of the folder. Teaching Search has been a good thing for us
    Hope this helps!!

  • Creating .app folders in other operating systems?

    I'm working on a cross-platform game and am hoping to create an OS X port of it. I don't have access to a mac, and so am unable to use the xcode tool for creating .app folders. Are there any tools for creating .app folders on other operating systems? I'd prefer Linux, but can also use windows if required.
    Thanks
    Nathaniel

    Well, .app bundles are specific to Cocoa and Carbon applications... The closest way to make such applications is to use GNUStep (which is an open Cocoa) but it means to rebuild the whole app to make it work with Cocoa/GNUStep...
    However, application that are compatible with Mac OS X are not necessarily in .app bundles. Bundles are used for a specific purpose which gather files that the app should have really close, like its interface files (nib) that is used only with Cocoa or Carbon. If your app is neither Carbon nor Cocoa, there's no use in creating a .app bundle it doesn't even exist. And moreover, Xcode (or Project Builder on GNUStep) is the only app that creates .app bundles.

  • Itunes messing up my app folders

    Hei.

    App-V:  A Configuration Template for Deploying to Stateless RDS Clients on Citrix Published Desktops with Citrix UPM for Profile Management
    Just posted this to the wiki:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/25318.app-v-a-configuration-template-for-deploying-to-stateless-rds-clients-on-citrix-published-desktops-with-citrix-upm-for-profile-management.aspx

    I would not recommend this and keep the package cache and the client on the same non-persistent drive and enable the Shared Content Store. If you separate the cache and the App-V client they could get out of sync and strange behaviour can occur. 
    You can use a temporary local profile with Citrix UPM or UE-V and specify what to roam/save.
    You can use the Shared Content Store so packages will stream over the network. When the user logs on there is a publishing phase where shortcuts etc are created for the user, this will take some time.
    Are you using the App-V full infrastructure?
    Are you using a boot disk, partition or PXE in combination with PVS?

  • How to delete App folders

    I cloud drive is showing various app folders - I have deleted the app but how do I delete the folder from iCLoud drive?

    Same issue here.
    I installed iMovie for iOS because I thought it would enable me to export slow-mo videos with the correct frame rate, but it didn't. So I deinstalled it again, and now I'm stuck with an empty iMovie folder in my iCloud drive that can not be deleted, not even after removing iMovie from the iCloud backup list in the settings. The iMovie folder only disappeared for a moment after I did that, but soon bounced back.
    Not even being able to remove a folder doesn't invite me to switch from Google Drive to iCloud Drive yet.

  • How come my app folders bunched up on top of each other?

    I opened my (new version) iPad and swiped from my opening screen over to my second screen and found every one of my app folders were in the top left corner sitting on top of one another all locked up. The event was completely random. I had to reboot the iPad to get it unstuck. Has anyone else seen this happen?
    John

    I have read about it happening to other users. I sure don't think it's anything to worry about if rebooting returned the screen to normal. Rebooting resets the system memory, and something probably just went a little whacky - maybe an app conflict, an app crash, or something like that.
    If it is a one time occurrence, I wouldn't sweat it.

  • Creating App Folders

    I am trying to organize my IPAD by using app folders. I read you can press down on the icon and it then shakes, then you can drag it to another icon and it will create a folder. When I do this it just rearranges the icons. Is there a way to create app folders? I would also like to create email folders if possible.
    Thanks,
    Dave

    As was explained in the response to your other post on this issue, this will be possible when version iOS 4.2 comes out later this month. You can currently do it on the iPhone if you have iOS 4.0 or higher.

  • Maximum number of app folders

    Can anyone tell me what is the maximum number of app folders one can have in the iphone?
    Thanks

    You can create up to 11 Home screens and you can put up to 12 apps in a folder, you can create up to 16 folders per home screen.  You will of course be unable to move some of the preinstalled apps into folders so you should bear that in mind.

  • IPhone apps folders

    Does anybody know what is needed to see the iPhone apps folders, just like in the pic below?
    Uploaded with ImageShack.us
    Ubuntu natively does that, but I don't know what package I need to be installed in Arch to allow that. As you can see on the left side of the image, there are two mountpoints, one for the iPhone root folder and the other containing some of the iPhone installed apps.

    I just had this happen this evening - I spent hours categorizing everything, had it down to a lean 4 or 5 screens, and had sync'd a few times. After the last sync, however, they were all reset to alphabetical, unfoldered order.
    One odd thing I remember prior to the sync wiping the app layout is that I had one app that appeared to be installed twice - it was visible both in a folder and on the main screen in iTunes (I don't know if it actually appeared twice on the phone itself). I think it was AAA Triptik (couldn't tell you for sure, since everything after page 11 is missing, and that only goes up to 'R'). I clicked on the cross to delete one instance of it (from the main screen, not the folder) - this prompted me to uninstall the app. I was fine with that since I don't have any saved data - I sync'd and it uninstalled the app. Don't know if that's what also clobbered the layout. I then re-checked the app in iTunes and sync'd again so it'd get reinstalled.
    Not looking forward to doing this again... :-/
