Apple Configurator doesn't see my device

Okay so when I plug my ipad into my imac I see via iTunes, which is all good and well. I just downloaded Apple Configurator this week and thought since we had two ipads at the school I should try this out in case we decide to go to a 1-to-1 environment with these. The first one I plugged in was straight out of the apple box brand new and it worked great. I played around with some settings and checked it out to a teacher. The second one had been in the hands of a teacher for a couple of weeks. I plugged it into the imac and bam it pops right up in iTunes. I click Apple Configurator and bam, it is lost in iTunes and nothing shows up in Apple Configurator! I did an Erase All Content and Settings, and still nothing. If I can keep Apple Configurator out of the picture the iMac will see it just fine, but as soon as I start AC it completely disappears, it doesnt' show up in Finder now!
If anybody has any fixes for this I would love to hear them.
Thanks

ok, never got the Apple TV to work wirelessly, but ended up moving an AP Express to the TV and plugging in the ATV to the e-net port of the express. not really the way I wanted it to work, but it does.

Itunes doesn't see my devices

I've recently plugged (USB cable) my ipod and my iphone in to the mac book pro that they are always plugged into for syncing and backing up via iTunes. However, now iTunes doesn't see these devices, nor any other devices I plug in.
Anyone had this problem?

Apple TV doesn't see iphone add remote greyed out

Hi There
Wife just got a new iphone, I have it synced/paired to her PC's itunes and also paired to my imac itunes which has our music collection (not syncing just have music set to manage manually). Have downloaded the remote app and it connects wonderfully to my itunes and hers but I cannot add remote on our apple tv the option is greyed out on apple tv.......I have checked the wifi network is the same on all, checked the fire wall settings are correct and pretty much everything else. On the apple tv screen it says to start by downloading the remote app which just in case I have done to my imac as well.....I am wondering if my issue is because the itunes library that is streamed to the apple tv is different to the one that the iphone is synced to (ie her PC)........one thing I have noticed is that apple tv doesn't appear on the devices list on her PC.......not sure why this isn't working but its driving me nuts have looked all through the discussions and can't find a solution

I'm not really sure what criteria is necessary for the remote option to show up on the tv, I'm surmising it's simply a fault (which I was hoping could be addressed by a restart). Another option would be a need for the tv to actually detect a wifi network before it enables this option, although mine works on an tv which is connected by ethernet and although that ethernet network is connected to a wifi network, I'm not sure the tv could know that.
The problems you now seem to be experiencing seem to be network related, and I wonder if you are now experiencing interference. You could try changing your wifi broadcast channel to see if that helps.

Apple TV doesn't see Airport Extreme

Hi
I have a Time Capsule as my base station and an Airport Extreme extending my network. The AE is right next to my Apple TV but the ATV does not see it. The ATV is connected to my network but it's reaching all the way back to my Time Capsule and thus the signal is somewhat weak. I've tested the AE with both of my laptops and they pick up the AE just fine. How can I get my ATV to connect to my network via the nearby AE and not the Time Capsule?
Thanks.

Hey, thanks for your replies!
Winston, yeah - it's the only router. The Apple TV and the xbox are both about a feet away from the Airport Extreme.
I have tried to enter the SSID manually but neither the xbox or the Apple TV can find it.
My gaming rig, a XP pro machine, can though as can my iphone. It's strange, the airport extreme is all default settings - no funny business there. I just wonder if maybe apple tv and the xbox wireless device is not compatible with the n spectrum of Airport Extreme.. but it should be compatible with both g and b since teh A Extreme supports those too.
I literally took the stuff out of their boxes and plugged in the cable modem ethernet cable into the airport extreme. I set up the SSID and psw on the airport extreme and then my PC and my iphone found the network but not the apple tv nor the xbox. AND they are about a feet from the airport extreme.
I'm using cables now.. but I can't accept that apple tv can't connect to airport extreme.

Apple TV doesn't see my network

I have a relatively new ATV - bought within the last 4 months or so. Initial set up without a hitch. Now, this morning, it disconnected from the network and I can't get it to reconnect. I've unplugged it, done a reset on my Airport Extreme base station, etc and it doesn't see my network. It sees a number of other networks in the vicinlty, but not mine. I've tried typing in the name of my network - nothing.
Anybody have a solution?
Thanks!

Apple TV doesn't see new streamed content

I've always had issues with getting the Apple TV to see new content that I've added to iTunes. I have a large library (much larger than the 160 GB option) so I have the Apple TV linked to my Mac Mini. Until recently, every time I added a show or movie to iTunes, I'd have to relaunch iTunes in order for the item to show up on the Apple TV. Inconvenient, but do-able.
Starting at some point recently, the Apple TV will not see new content. I can reset iTunes, reset the computer, even reset the Apple TV, all to no avail. The only thing that has worked so far is to unlink the Mini and then re-link it. Everything then has to be reconnected, resynced, etc. Obviously this is not acceptable on a regular basis.
Does anyone know how to force the Apple TV to update the list of media?
Thanks in advance.

forcing a Syncing works for me...
from the menu *File > Sync +<your appleTV's name>+*
OR
click on the appleTV under devices and press Sync button in the lower right hand corner of the iTunes window.
some things like metadata (movie ratings R, PG, G..) take time to be picked up by the appleTV but usually restarting the appleTV fixes this i.e. press and hold menu + down button until light blinks amber, then select language and resolution then select restart
if sync isn't doing it you might have some bigger problems and restoring from factory (can be found in the menu above where you pressed restart), then re-upgrade might get rid of any cruft that might have done something nasty to you appleTV.
sync should do it though...

Apple Configurator- Multiple Profiles on Multiple Devices

I'm using Apple Configurator 1.4.3. I was wondering if there is any way to install multiple profiles on to multiple devices at once.
Right now it only gives you the options of installing multiple profiles on one device OR one profile on multiple devices.

Hey Rookeydooks,
Sounds like you have Apple Configurator set to automatically refresh when you connect iPads. To turn this off (in Apple Configurator 1.2.1), in the menu bar go to Apple Configurator -> Preferences. On the General tab, uncheck "Automatically refresh". This way, the iPad won't automatically revert back to the saved supervised backup.
Once you make your changes, you should then create a new Supervised Backup. After that, you can go back to Apple Configurator -> Preferences, and check "Automatically refresh".
Hope this answers your question!

Apple configurator - rearranging icons on supervised devices

I have set up 3 test ipads to try and understand the power of Apple configurator before rolling out around 20 further ipads with an identical layout..
I now have all 3 ipads loading with one profile and a bunch of free apps. The problem is all the app icons are across 3 different pages on the ipad and i want to tidy them up so they appear on just the first 2 pages of the ipad. I also want to arrange the icons so the most popular ones are on the first page.
When i try to rearrange the icons on one ipad then re-connect it, the ipad reverts back to the old display of icons spread across 3 pages. I guess this because it reverts to the previous saved profile.
I can't seem to find a way of turning off the supervision temporarily to allow me to arrange all the icons in the way i want, change the background imagae or make any small setting changes on the ipad to be able to roll those changes out to all the other devices.
I feel like i am missing something ?

Apple Configurator - Passcode - Grace Period for Device Lock

Help.
I am using 40 new iPads in a classroom, using Apple Configurator. I set a passcode to the student profile, and the Grace Period for Device Lock is set to 4 hours. However, every time the iPad is locked, it requires a passcode to unlock it, even if immediately turned back on. The grace period function is not working. Anyone else have a problem with this?
-Dan

HI nsdjoey,
Many thanks for your reply.
Hopefully this will be an update within Apple Configurator soon. The configurator has the potentail to be a great tool but lacks soem really basic features.
I'll take a look at making an encrypted backup in iTunes, although none of my iPads are showing up as devices within iTunes. Maybe becasue they are in supervise mode ?
Also just noticed that iPad 20 is not appearing in the Configurator even though its conected and lit up in the sync cab. I've change leads and ports in the cab but getting nothing.
Thanks for your advice.

Broadcaster doesn't see firewire device

Hi,
I just updated a rarely used server from 10.3.4 to 1.3.9. Prior to the update, we would occasionally use the server for QTSS using Broadcaster and a firewire input video signal. It worked nicely.
After the upgrade, Broadcaster can't see the firewire device. I have 10.4.5 (non-server) installed on another HD in the same box (which is what it is booted with most of the time) and I can switch to that OS and Broadcaster can see the device just fine. That means my port works.
The box worked just fine prior to the 10.3.9 upgrade, so the question is, is there a setting file somewhere that turning firewire off, or preventing Broadcaster from seeing it?
When we switch to this box for streaming, it's as a backup, but using server and QTSS works better than using Darwin Streaming Server and Broadcaster for some reason. This is why we need this fixed.
Ideas?
Thanks,
Keith

Are you using Broadcaster (as part of QTSS) or QuickTime Broadcaster (the separate application)?
To be safe, you may want to do the encoding portion of the webcast on a separate workstation anyway which will feed the QTSS server. Then you can setup a relay to your backup server and use that as a "backup" or for load balancing or for whatever.
I am going to run a test on one of my machines to see if I have a similar problem.... I'm intrigued.....

Flash Builder 4.6 (OS X 10.8.2) doesn't see android device, adb does

Using the command line tools I can view devices and install builds, but I can't get Flash Builder to see the device.
I'm testing on a Nexus One running 2.2.

On windows I see it here:
~: find /c/Program\ Files/Adobe/Adobe\ Flash\ Builder\ 4.6/ -name adb.exe
/c/Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Flash Builder 4.6/sdks/4.6.0/lib/android/bin/adb.exe

Blinking Amber Light, Apple Utilities doesn't see AEBS - after working fine

After 1.5 years of successfully using my AEBS, last night I suddenly got the blinking amber light. Further Apple Utilities doesn't detect it either. I had not made any changes to the config and the DSL modem seems to be just fine - I can hardwire connect to the internet. I've turned off both the DSL modem and AEBS and restarted them in sequence (modem first then AEBS) and nothing. My next step will be to reset the AEBS unless someone has other suggestions.
Any ideas...

Aha!!! Mystery solved and fixed.
The new baby monitor introduced into the room is the culprit. Wouldn't have thought that the interference would have been so strong as to completely haywire the AEBS but that is the case indeed. Luckily we only need the baby monitor at night when we're not online anyway.

Apple TV Doesn't See Home Shared Library- All settings are correct. Help?

OK, so, I have two apple tv's, first gen. Both are completely updated. Netflix runs fine on both. Apple TV #1 see's the library on my wife's computer and the library on my computer. Apple TV #2 does not show up on either. However, sometimes it does- it's hit and miss.
I know it's not internet connectivity because I can browse iTunes and netflix on #2 without issue.
I've tried fixing the power settings on #2 to go off after the computer goes into sleep.
I've tried re-starting iTunes and, sometimes it shows up, sometimes it doesn't.
The router security has been removed to ensure easy connectivity.
Using "Remote" application on the iPad or iPhone or iPod, I can see the libraries I'm trying to connect to. Within the remote app is the only place that I can consistently see the #2 ATV.
I've tried turning off home sharing and turning back on for all computers-nothing. I've tried almost everything I could find on these forums but nothing is working to make this thing consistent. I've done the re-sets to manufacturer settings. The only thing I haven't tried is hard line witch is not possible due to set up but cannot be issue because I can access internet, itunes, and netflix with atv#2. Please help.

I have a similar problem.
I have a 2nd generation apple TV and all worked well until I upgraded my imac to the 27inch Imac.
Since then I cannot open home share on the apple TV.
I can see the internet, movies & utube but no computer.
I've tried turning off firewalls ( Norton & Macs Firewalls) but no change.
I've even tried going from wifi to ethernet but still no response. Every time I enter my apple password & ID it says cannot find the server.
I have airplay on my ipad which works perfectly on the computer (not apple tv because I cannot turn on home share)
Any suggestions
thanks

LabView doesn't see USB device

Hallo,
I have LabView 8.5 installed and two LogicBoxes (NIMbox NDL8 and NAD4) via USB connected. By typing in the proper USB-ID of NIMbox NDL8 in the
VISA everything
just worked fine. Then I realized this doesn't work for the other modul, so I tried switched cables and reinstalled the USB driver.
The current situation:
Windows XP detects the USB devices without any problem - always has. However, suddenly I can't connect in LabView with them by typing
in the USB-ID. The whole time the modules never showed up in MAX, but since they aren't NI instruments I think that was to expect anyway.
I just have no idea why it worked first partly and now it doesn't work at all.
Even though my problem description is kind of vague - I'm new to LabView.
I would really appriciate advice, which things I should check in order to get the USB working again.
Thanks!
Nathan

Blackberry Protect doesn't "see" my device

Hello,
I received today my new Torch 9860, after my former one had been stolen. Everything works fine except that, after installing BB Protect from AppWorld and connecting onto the website to test it, my terminal doesn't appear there. I tried to reinstall it but same problem. I have also a Playbook which is correctly connected to the terminal and account.
Did I miss or forget something ? Is there a way to "declare" the terminal on the website ?
Thanks for your answers

gotcha. I'm not sure how to delete the ID if you never received the welcome email. That email would have a link to delete it.
Can you update your blackberry ID on uyour device and discard the bad account info?
