Apple Configurator 1.6 won't load iBooks

Had tons of trouble last year, installing iOS7 on 25 supervised iPads.  The problems continue with the iOS8 update.  I updated AC to version 1.6 through the app store and went to plug in to my iPad cart today.  I should note that all my iPads are iPad 2.  I was under the impression that they would be left out of the update.  Regardless, AC installs and updates everything except for iBooks.  I get an error when trying to push the app to my iPads.  Anyone else?
iPads are a huge part of classrooms these days.  Would be nice if Apple paid AC a little more attention to ensure that it is working properly the day after a major update like this.

Tell me about it. In the AppStore, Apple actually list this is a bug fix/feature "Apple Configurator 1.6 contains improvements and bug fixes including: 1) Devices are erased before restoring a backup."
I can see why some people may want this, but it throws a complete spanner in the works for us and I can't believe there's not an option for this in preferences. We have 10 iPads that were locked down and restored after each use. Turn around time of about five minutes or less. Now Configurator forces us to reinstall everything each time, we're looking at over an hour. It's crazy. It would actually be quicker to go through the iPads myself and reset everything. Ugh.
However, having deleted the iBooks app from Configurator, at least the devices are finishing without the error, so there's that, I guess.

    I am trying to configure some new unsupervised iPod touch 4th generation using Apple Configurator but it won't give me the option to install the app that appears on the Apps tab. I have tested the to see whether it works in supervised mode and it does but in Prepare mode it won't let me tick the box.
    Any ideas anyone?

  • Apple Configurator prepared iPhone won't sync in iTunes

    Hi everybody,
    may anybody help me understanding what I did wrong? My goal ist to prepare several new out-of the-box iPhones with basic stuff such as profiles with WLAN settings, Mail settings and so on, even load some basic free Apps (Facebook WhatsApp, Find My iPhone etc.) onto the phones, and after that give the user the possibility to use his or her own iTunes to sync songs and Apple-ID-related Apps with his or her new iPhone.
    I prepared the iPhones with Apple Configurator without turning "Supervision" on - just prepared them to activate, install free Apps and configure the "first boot wizard" for not asking for backup etc. Then I installed profiles with basic settings for calendar, mail, contacts, alan, a few certificates and so on. All went fine until this point:
    When the user plugs the iPhone to her Mac, iTunes do not ask to sync the phone but treats it like a NEW iPhone and asks if it should configure the iPhone as a new one or if a backup of an older iPhone should be installed.
    What have I missed?
    Thanks for your suggestions.
    Best regards,
    Olaf

  • Apple Configurator 1.6 won't connect to iPad

    Hi,
    I am having trouble getting a connection over USB with Apple Configurator. When I connect the iPad, AC1.6 does recognise it and nothing happens -->AllDevices(0) is shown.
    Tried new cable, iOS7 and iOS8 device. No luck.
    Anyone having this issue and a solution?

  • Can't send email; Safari won't load new pages

    Mountain Lion has broken mail (smtp) and Safari is so bad, I've had to install Chrome. Is anyone else getting the same kind of bad experience with 10.8? I have spoken to my ISP and my settings are ok according to them (O2), but I can't send emails from the Mail app. As for Safari, even half of Apple's own pages won't load. I'll be reverting to Lion from a cloned disc if I can't get this fixed.

    Exactly the same is happening to me and I'm with O2,all the settings are correct as well.I spoke to one of the tech people at o2 and they said they'd received about 30 calls about the same thing,thank God I've got Gmail and the iPhone works perfectly.This is rather serious,please Apple do something about it urgently

  • ITunes, app store, iBooks store, etc won't load and I can't figure out why. I tried rebooting and it didn't help. Everything else works fine. Help please?

    iTunes, app store , iBooks store, etc won't load and I don't know why. Everything else works fine, and I've rebooted it. The problem is still there and I know I have a good Internet connection. Help please?

    Have you tried disconnecting and re-connecting to your network ?. And when you say rebooted do you mean a reset ? If not then try that : 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.
    You could also try closing those apps completely. From the home screen (i.e. not with any of those apps 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the iTunes, App Store and iBooks apps to close them, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.

  • IBook G4 won't load after latest security update, repair doesn't work?

    Hi I had the same problem as someone else in this forum:
    "Last night I saw that my ibook G4 wanted to do a security update. I told it to do it, and the ibook has not started since. It reset itself after downloaded, but it just stays on the booting up screen, never actually booting up so I can use it. After about two hours of trying to boot up, I turned it off, and on again, and it still wont boot.
    I really need suggestions as how I can fix it. Thanks

    HI,
    Ok... you need to boot from your install disk.
    Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
    Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger and later) and launch Disk Utility.
    Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
    Select First Aid in the Main panel.
    (Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)
    Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
    If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
    If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
    If you cannot boot from your install disk, try booting in Safe Mode
    Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck
    If you have the original hard drive in this iBook, it was probably a 60GB drive? When you can do this, check to see how much available disk space there is.
    Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon on your Desktop, then click: Get Info. In the Get Info window, click the discovery triangle so it's facing down. You will see; Capacity and Available Make sure you have 10% available disk space, 15% is better. Not enough available drive space can cause issues like you are experiencing.
    Carolyn "
    I tried restarting it after the repair (there were some things to repair and I tried to repair twice just to make sure it didn't miss anything) but it still won't load. It says its starting the OX system, but when the blue bar reaches the end, it doesn't do anything from there. I also left it on for hours and it did nothing. My mousepad still lets me move around the mouse, the caps lock key still lights up, as the num lock key. I tried safe mode but that won't load either...any other suggestions?

    *" I also left it on for hours and it did nothing. "*
    Your iBook needs to go in for repairs.

  • Is it possible to use Apple Configurator to pre-load a class set of iPads with books?

    I have class set of iPads that I want to pre-load with books from the iBooks Store (all public domain/Project Gutenberg, so they're free). I've managed to get them on one device, but it was 60+ and I had to download each indiviually. In Apple Configurator, when I backed-up that iPad and tried to load it on the others, the books did not show up on the other devices.
    Short of downloading all the books on each iPad, is there an easier way to do this?

    unfortunately I don't see a way to do it with configurator. You may be able to use iTunes in the cloud for it though. On each iPad, make sure they are connected to the network, then go to Settings.app -> Store. Make sure the Apple ID associated with the books is logged in, and then turn the automatic downloads for books on. You may then have to download the books on again on one of the devices, but they should appear on all the devices.

  • I just installed LV2011 and one dll from my vi won't load with the error "application configuration is incorrect"

    I just installed LV2011 and one dll from my vi won't load with the error "application configuration is incorrect", which is Windows lingo for "missing package dependencies".  All the computers at my company with 2010 loaded seem to do OK.  When I do a Dependencies Walk I get missing Visual C debug dll's missing plus IEshims and wer which both have a whole tree of dependencies missing on my machine.  The Windows install is the same "Windows XP version 2002 Service Pack 3" on my PC and the working PC's. So I'm thinking I have to uninstall 2011 and go back to 2010.  Is this correct?  Those VC debug dll's were installed on the machines with 2010 in them but were not installed in mine.
    I've heard the advice to recompile the dll with debug turned off but I don't have access to the source code.
    Thanks in advance.

    MFC90D.dll
    MSVCR90D.dll
    IESHMS.dll
    WER.dll
    And, once again, IESHMS and WER have other dependencies.  So perhaps i need to install the Visual C++ development environment.
    IESHIMS.dll is an Internet Explorer DLL that gets usually delay loaded by shdocvw.dll. As delay load it can not cause DLL load errors but only runtime errors. Maybe your DLL has it as direct dependency but that is unlikely since it does not have a documented interface.
    WER.dll is Windows error reporting for Vista/Win7.
    MFC90D.dll is the Microsoft Foundation classes and MSVCR90D.dll is the MS C runtime library, both as debug variant.
    So all the DLLs you mention are actually MS DLLs! You haven't identified the DLL that you try to access in LabVIEW that causes these error messages. IESHIMS and WER are usually delay loaded by any component that needs it and should not likely be used by non MS code.
    What is the DLL you try to load into LabVIEW and by whom? Get the provider of that DLL to provide you a non Debug build of the DLL. Installing Visual C on all the machines just to make the DLL load is not a solution, besides that it is likely not legal since I doubt you have that many licenses.

  • Ipod touch 4th gen. won't load to home screen. Stuck on apple logo for two days. Help?!

    My ipod touch's battery died, so I plugged it in to charge. After awhile it turned on to where the apple logo shows up. After a day the logo was still on the screen with a loading sign there. It won't load to the home screen after 2 days. Help?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    any advice?

    3GB for a movie? That's almost equivalent to an original DVD. 
    Have you checked in the Recently Added playlist?
    I think this is possibly linear.  Select 'normal' in HB, iTunes accepts it; select 'high quality' in HB iTunes doesn't.  I can't say why; I don't have any video that anywhere approaches 3GB in size.  If that's how iTunes behaves I don't see you have too many options.  You either select normal and it works, or you select HQ and live with playing the movie outside of iTunes.
    I won't ask what movie because any help with illegally ripped copy protected DVDs is strictly prohibited by the Terms of Use so I'm assuming this is a 6 hour video of your puppy playing on the floor.

  • Apple TV won't load or play movies from my MBP library (through both airplay and homesharing), but will from my mac mini. Help!

    I have been using my apple TV seamlessly with all my apple products (Mac Mini, iphone, MBP, ipad). Everything worked perfectly until recently (I noticed the issue about 3 weeks ago), when the apple TV won't load and play any movies from my iTunes library located on my MBP. The Library loads, and I can see everything, but as soon as I press play, the spinning load icon appears and doesn't stop. Same when I play movie from itunes directly and send it via airplay. Desktop mirroring no problem.
    I have checked, and films are being played perfectly from my other devices, as does airplay and mirroring

    Hello Tourneurm,
    Thank you for contacting Apple Support Communities.

    Section 8 seems to be most applicable.
    8. Cannot access my library when my computer is asleep
    For Apple TV to access your library while the host computer is asleep, "Wake for network access" must be turned on.
    Open System Preferences > Energy Saver and select (enable) the "Wake for network access" option.
    In addition, the network that the host computer and the Apple TV (2nd or 3rd generation) is connected to must support Wake on Demand feature. This works by partnering with a service running on your AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule called Bonjour Sleep Proxy.
