Apple Configurator issue with iPad Air

I am using Apple configurator 1.5 to deploy iPad 2 with 4G and without and iPad Airs with 4G.
I created backups of each model and I’m only having an issue with the iPad Airs. I get an error “ unable to activate ”. Apple configurator will update the devices to the newest OS and reset the iPads but it won’t apply any settings from the backup.
Any help would be great.

Sorry for the confusion, I have one backup for each model. The iPad Airs are able to use cellular data but they are not going to be activated with the carrier ( Verizon ). We are only using them with WiFi. The issues is Apple Configurator stops working as soon as it tries to activate and won’t push the backup. Apple Configurator is only able to resetting and updating the OS. This only happen with the Airs, I use the same process with iPad 2 with cellular data, not activated with the carrier ( Verizon ) no issues. I don’t currently have an iPad Air but remember it was error 2 “ unable to activate ”.

Having issues with iPad air.. It's constantly rebooting and giving me a blue screen. Anyone have a solution?

iPad Air
operating system ios8.1.3
I've had no success troubleshooting the problem I'm having with my iPad Air. Started after I updated the software to the new version . Once update was complete I encountered my screen looked funny with wiggly lines and then the screen turned blue. I tried to reboot it by holding down the home and the off at the same time but that only turned it off and then back on and the same thing happened all over again. Now my iPad air only continues to reboot when I turn it on. Is it possible for Apple or Mac products to get a virus? I'm hope someone has a solution to this problem I'd like to know if there's anyone else out there that's experiencing this issue with the iPad Air.

This is not a virus. It sounds like it could be a hardware problem.
First, try resetting your device. Press and hold both the home button and the sleep/wake button for about 10 seconds, until the screen turns off. Ignore the slider that will appear. Release the buttons, then press and hold the sleep/wake button until the Apple logo appears. This is the equivalent of a reboot, and should not affect your data or apps.
If that doesn't help, try restoring your device from backups, and if that doesn't help, restore it to factory settings (ie, do not restore a backup). See:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
If none of that helps, the issue is caused by some kind of hardware problem, and the device will need to be repaired or (more likely) replaced.

Anyone else having issues with iPad Air touch screen x y positioning inaccuracy?

I have a 128GB WiFi Cellular iPad Air with IOS 7.0.3 installed. I have noticed, especially with the Photos app, that where you touch on the screen isnt exactly what is returned by the iPad. For example, if I want to view a photo in a display of a series of thumbnails I have to actually touch the photo to the left of the one I want to view. If I touch the one I want to view, the one to the right expands to full screen. I am hoping this is just a software issue. If not, then this one is going to be returned while I still have time in the initial 30 day window.

Well, I think I figured out the problem. I had a pdf file somehow loaded into the camera roll. All images before the pdf were opening appropriately, but the ones ater that file were always shifted to the right. I deleted the pdf file and now they all open correctly.

Apple Configurator issues with 7.1

Hello,
I'm using the latest version of apple configurator 1.5, with IOS 7.1. Since the latest update I'm no longer able to restore backups to any iPad. This was all working fine with the previous version of apple configurator and ios 7.0.6.
The error I'm getting is just "backup cannot be restored". I've taken and attached a screenshot of the Console but these errors mean nothing to me...I hope they make sense to someone.
I've tried creating many different backups and even a very slim backup with factory default settings will not restore to iPads.
Please advice
Thanks!

Chadd,
I think this must be something on your computer specifically. I attempted to restore an IPad (to make sure it was working post 1.5) and did not encounter an error. Hope this helps.

Issue with iPad air trade in promotion.

I went to the Rego Park NYC Bestbuy store (Store 483) today and tried to trade in my iPad 4 32GB wifi because of this promotion.
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/promo/trade-in-offer-129347?ref=199&loc=iH2PRtf/I7g&acampID=1&siteID=iH2...
The girl from customer service did not know anything about it so I asked for a manager. The manager knew about the promtion and took my iPad. She offered me $246 in gift card but she said that I will not receive the $50 trade in coupon toward a new iPad Air 2 purchase. I aruged briefly with her but she insisted that was how it works because the promotion can only guarantee a minimum trade in value of $200 and since my iPad 4 has a trade in value of $246, it will not be considered as an eligible tablet. Could someone from Bestbuy explain how this promotion really work? Because it doesn't make sense at all if i do not get both the gift card and the $50 coupon. I read about this promotion from various forums and lots of people getting both the gift card and the coupon.

Hello TommyLai,
I have to say I’m rather bummed that I don’t have an older iPad model to trade in. With the gift card and coupon provided with this offer, you could potentially get a new iPad Air or mini at half price (or close to it)! I’m disappointed to hear that our Rego Park location wasn’t quite up to speed with the promotion though, leaving you absolutely confused and without a cool new iPad. I’m truly sorry for this oversight.
According to our Trade in and Trade up promotion, you should have received either a $175.00 or $200.00 gift card for your trade in. Because your iPad 4 was worth more than those amounts, you were correctly offered more than the guaranteed minimum. This shouldn’t have disqualified you from receiving the coupon though. As long as you were intending to purchase the item listed on the coupon, it should have been provided with your trade-in receipt.
I’d like out to local leadership at our Rego Park location and provide them with the necessary details about this promotion. However, I’m unable to locate your Best Buy account, and I’d like to provide them with as many details as possible for further reference. Please know that I’ve sent you a private message to collect some information. You may view it by logging into the forum and clicking on the envelope in the upper right-hand corner of your screen.
Thanks for posting,

Could apple send me an iPad air. All my friends are making fun of me because I'm stuck with the old device and no phone. I've had app problems with apple before so I think that it would only be fair to get a newer device. Thank You Apple

First we aren't Apple just normal users just like you.
Second provide Apple a feedback or send them a mail.
Third they will never send you a free iPad Air.
If you want one you have to buy it. (go for refurbished if the device is too expensive) or look for special prices.
Contact iTunes support if you have a problem with an App.

When I stream a movie via Apple TV from my iPad Air into my Samsung TV, I'm getting the "soap opera" effect. This only happens when I use Apple TV, not when I view a movie directly through a cable channel. Is there a way to eliminate this effect?

I'm having the same problem. It's not an issue with my TV, i've turned this feature off. I've tried playing with the ATV display settings but nothing works. When I stream netflix from my Samsung bluray player, I don't get the soap opera effect, but when I stream any video from the ATV, the soap opera effect is there. I'm thinking it's a choice that Apple made, but I really wish it could be turned off. Not a lot of people are searching for this, because it can be easy to overlook, but it's driving me nuts!

My friend is now facing one issue with iPad.

My friend is now facing one issue with iPad. He clicked on screenshot (attached with email) with Google mail app (iPad) and the screenshot is now stuck open. He cannot close it using the little X in the upper right which does not respond. So his Gmail app is completely blocked by this open screenshot! tried everything including shutting down and rebotting his iPad.

I use the Gmail app and have never had that problem. But Apple has nothing to do with the Gmail app. If you want to report a bug, report it to Google through the app itself.

how can I find the Image number of a particular photo in the Photos app included with iPad Air?

Hello yamacutta,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
The Photos app will not show you the actual file name of the photo. However when you go through the image import process on your computer, you should be able to see both the thumbnail of the photo, as well as the filename of the image.

Pocket projector compatible with ipad air

What pocket projector works with iPad Air? Will the 30 pin adapter work with currently available projectors?

I dont see why any projector won't work as long as you have the adapter for it. Aaxa's pico projectors are said to to work fine with apple products as well as others like acer and optoma. Depends what you plan on using it for that should really matter these days. They should all work fine and things to think about are the features each projector has like onboard media player, USB or SD readers, Lumens, and most of all price.
But as a suggestion get the brightest you can afford you don't want to be stuck squinting cuz you can't see the deng thing. LOL
