Apple configurator leaves app data on iPad when assigning to new user

I set up a supervised iPad and created a base image which I backed up before configuring anything personal. then assigned the iPad to a user and set up some apps, such as Imo which is a jabber compatible messaging app.
When I check the ipad back in, the user account for Imo is still on there even though it is set to restore the device back to the base backup that I created?

the problem with this is it wipes the actual app not just the app data, meaning users would have to redownload all their apps everytime they want to use the iPad

How does apple Configurator Backup App data? Or does it at all?

Hello,
I use Apple Configurator at two schools. All of the iPads that the schools own are supervised via Apple Configurator.
How does the backup feature work in Apple Configurator? I know it backs up folders and photos and videos. But does it backup app data? And how?
I understand that apps themselves are not backed up. But if an iPad is completely wiped / restored via apple configurator / apps are put back on / then backup is restored.... when does the app data get re-applied (if it does at all?)
Mac OS 10.9.4
Apple Configurator Version 1.5 (424)
I know iTunes can backup and restore app data. My question is does Apple Configurator do it? And how / what is the best way?
Thank you.

When you boot yoru iMac, if you hold down the option key, at the boot meny, do you have an option for "Network" booting If so, then your machine didn't come with an install disc, it allows for internet restore form Apple servers (although it will need to perform the 4.7GB download if you use it).
If you run the Boot Camp Assistant, you should be presented with an option to download the windows support files from Apple servers. For machines which didn't come with install/restore discs, this is the way to get the files you need.

Apple Configurator Buy App Problem

I working in Hong Kong School, Our School have over 150 ipad, I used the apple configurator to synchronous all of ipad free App,
Now, Our School want to buy some App to user, I see your apple support communities need Using Volume Purchase Program (VPP) Redemption Codes to buy the App. But the Education VPP Program Manager Enrollment can not select my country Hong Kong, How can I use the VPP to buy App?
Thank your help

Basically, you go to the Apple Volume Purchase Program for Education Store and find the app you want. You select an app and how many copies you want…lets say 20 copies. You then download an Excel spreadsheet that includes 20 VPP Redemption Codes. You take this Excel file and import it into Apple Configurator. As you install the app using Apple Configurator, it keeps track of how many codes you've used. After you've installed it on 20 iPads, you will no longer be able to install the app on additional iPads unless you purchase more VPP codes.
See the info on VPP starting on page 22 of this PDF:

Here's how to use Apple Configurator to deploy paid apps using VPP codes:

Can I use apple configurator to automatically shut down iPads to preserve my school's bandwidth?

Can I use apple configurator to automatically shut down iPads to preserve my school's bandwidth?

No, not if you mean remotely. Configurator does not allow any sort of remote control of the iPads. It's only for setting them up when connected to your master computer. There may be third-party MDM systems that might offer some such remote control over WiFi connections, though I can't tell you any that do. This of course will not work on any iPad that's not in your control (usually ones that the school owns) and can get set up with the MDM solution. If you're concerned about iPads and other devices that the students own personally, you may need to control your WiFi access points instead.
Regards.

What is an Apple approved printing app for the iPad?

What is an Apple approved printing app for the iPad?

As the other poster says, apple doesn't place their seel of approval or recommend any printing app. search on here and read reviews on teh app store adn web site reviews to find the best app for your purposes. (SJ did respond to an email about printing from iPad by saying "be patient", so it might be in a future upgrade).

I've got HPePrint App on my ipad, when I touch the photos icon the App closes, HP can't help, has anyone got an ideas for a solution?

I've got HPePrint App on my ipad, when I touch the photos icon the App closes, HP can't help, has anyone got an ideas for a solution?

Yes, you should get an email if somebody replies to a thread you started or one to which you posted. I did; that's how I knew you had replied. Check up at the top of the right column of this thread. In the "Actions" box you should find "Stop email notifications" if you are subscribed to this thread.
One step you didn't list among HP's suggestions is a compound action: delete the app, reset the iPad (by holding down the home and start buttons together for ten seconds), then reinstall the app and test it. If it still falls over, I would say the HP app has not kept up with iOS changes and needs updating -- OR your iPad has developed some persistent internal corruption in its photo storage that only the HP app trips over (in which case, the app still needs updating, but it's going to be much harder for HP to determine how).

How to display all authentication providers when creating a new user?

I have configured active Directory with weblogic 10.3.1. Users and groups display correctly under the users and groups tab. When creating a new user only the defaultauthenticator provider is displayed in the drop-down selection. How do I get my active directory authenticator to display here also for selection?

I'm confident that the Active Directory provider is read-only. You could write your own Authentication Provider for AD that supports create/update/delete functionality, but it is not included in the out of the box AD Authentication Provider to my knowledge.
I know both the Default Authenticator and the database authenticator are read/write.

Photoshop Elements 11 installed on Mac Mini OS X 10.9.5. Application running successfully on bot main user and administrative accounts for considerable time with no warning messages. When established a new user account on same computer and try to call up

Photoshop Elements 11 installed on Mac Mini OS X 10.9.5. Application running successfully on bot main user and administrative accounts for considerable time with no warning messages. When established a new user account on same computer and try to call up elements receive message “Some ot the application components are missing from the Application directory. Please reinstall the application.” How do I correct this problem without disturbing application in main user account?

Brooks lansing if you create a new Administrator account does the same issue occur? If so then it is likely that there is a file permission failure and file permissions have been set for the existing Users instead of the groups they belong to.
Have you removed and reinstalled Photoshop Elements 11? This may reset the file permissions to the correct state to allow it to work under new accounts.

Apple Configurator error app's identifier is missing when creating a deployment profile.

Hello,
I have a Bretford Powersync cart and I have a Macbook Pro with Apple Configurator on it.
I don't have any iPads yet connected they will come in next week, there will 30 of them.
I'm creating a profile and payload in Configurator on the Macbook right now and when I add Apps to be part of the package that gets sent to the iPads, it's giving me the error "App's Identifier is Missing". I'm just highlighting a cell structure app that is free that I downloaded and trying to add it.
I heard you have to add the .ipa file, but I can't find an .ipa file anywhere. When I search for .ipa it just shows me the same Cell Structure App icon and I end up getting the same error.
Just trying to get around this error message.
Thanks,
Matt

It won't let me edit my post, so I'm typing this reply to add...
I tried taking the version number out of the title. It looked like there were two spaces in the title "Grammar Games by Tap to Learn". So I even made sure that matched. I still can't import my codes. Any other things to try would be really appreciated.

I have lost my apps for my ipad when I did a sync. Not sure why, maybe because I had to replace a hard drive. How do I get my apps back, a lot of them.

My hard drive got corrupted and I had to install a new hard drive and when I opened iTunes it asked if I wanted to sync which it did but then I lost all my apps I had on my iPad. I dont know why. I tried restoring from a previous backup, but that didn't work. I know I can reinstall the apps but I dont even remember all the ones I did have. Can anyone help.
With kind regards
Fadeela

The apps that you had will be listed in your purchase history if you login to your account in iTunes on your computer - the list isn't very user friendly though as it's listed by date order and will include all app updates that you've downloaded (so an app will appear multiple times if you've downloaded it's updates). You can re-download apps, though it's a manual process as you need to find them yourself in the app store : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519 .
If the apps are in your iTunes library then the restore might work - a backup contains app data/settings, but not the app itself, so without the app available to it the restore can't install the app and therefore it's content.

Replacing Mac App Data w/ iPad App Data. Possible?

My question is simple...although I don't know if it's possible.
What I mean by this is my iPad is organized with 4 pages of my apps, in folders etc. I use my iPad every day, don't use my Mac as much.
What I'm getting at is that I don't sync my iPad with my Mac anymore because it wants to take those 4 pages I have and turn it into 12 pages and install random applications that I downloaded on my iPhone ages ago.
Basically i'm looking to do like the simple mobile me sync feature "REPLACE DATA ON X COMPUTER WITH THIS COMPUTER's DATA"
I don't want all the apps my iTunes library things I want, and when I un-check SYNC APPS in iTunes it just says "You'll erase all apps from your iPad"... not what I'm looking to do.
Thanks in advanced, hope I can get this rectified so I can start syncing movies back and forth.

iTunes on your Mac knows the difference between your iPhone and your iPad. You can configure it so that it will install only those apps that you want installed on each IOS device. In fact, I have some that don't load anywhere but I keep them on the Mac just in case I change my mind (it's easier than searching for them at the App Store).
Your iPad must be connected to your Mac in order to configure iTunes to load specific apps. Wait until it finishes the automatic syncing and then change your settings and force a manual sync. After that, the auto-sync will work just fine.
