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!

  • HT201334 Apple configurator vs Profile Manager

    I downloaded apple configurator and have it working. Then I realized profile manager in OSX Server does the same thing. What is the difference, can I leave it as is? Any benefit of just using profile manager?

    Apple configurator has its uses.
    Apple configurator can be used as a "manual" standalone solution to manage you iDevices and AppleTVs.
    Apple configurator can be used in blended approach with Profile Manager.
    With Profile Manager you can manage iDevices , Macs , and I believe AppleTv over the AIR.
    - Apple Configure Stand Alone.
    When using Apple Configurator by itself you can , lock down an iPad in a way you see fit.
    1. You can make an iDevice in "Supervise Mode" increasing restricting of your iDevice , Profile Manager cannot do this at the moment , this feature will be available in Mavericks.
    2. Any future configuration changes to your iDevices , must be physically plugged in everytime for those changes.
    3. You can distribute free and paid apps.
    4. You can update your IOS updates all at once. When IOS 7 comes out this fall you probably dont want to touch every iDevice and update 1 at a time. You can use Apple Configurator to download the latest IOS , and any IDevice that you plugin will receive the update, this means downloading th IOS update one time on the mac, and pushing it out to whoever needs it. Profile Manager can't do this.
    5. You can name several iDevices sequently. If you have a cart of 30 it will be easy to rename your iDevices. Profile Manager can't do this.
    6. Apple configurator allows you to "backup and restore" its not a true complete image but its close. Profile Manager does not do backups or restores.
    7. Apple Configurator can be used to erase an iDevice.
    8. I'm probably missing some more features.
    - Profile Manager Stand Alone
    1. You can manage Macs not just iDevices.
    2. You must enroll the device before you can manage it, this can be done by pushing out an email , via a website etc.
    3. Everything happens over the Air.
    4. When enrolling , users can use their Open Directory or Active Directory ( if your Apple server is bound to AD server ). You can also create a generic account for enrolling purposes.
    5. You can wipe devices over the air.
    6. You can make pass code resets for iDevices.
    7. You can manage users in groups , even nested groups. I manage staff and student iDevices. Our wireless system is seperated for staff and students each wireless has its own SSID. I created 2 upper level Profile Manager Groups , one called WiFi Student and one called WiFi Staff, all my student iDevice groups are nested under WiFi Student group and all my staff idevice groups are nested. This makes managing my wifi a breeze. I also include my mifi wireless info , in case i need a backup emergency wireless.
    8. Im sure theres other features.
    - Apple Configurator And Profile Manager Blended
    1. Push out initial wifi settings. I setup a simple wireless router to connect my devices ( there are types when I setup over 50 ipads , and our network runs out of IPs)
    2. You can use Apple Configurator to push out Profile Managers "enrollment profile" to many iDevices. You dont want to enroll a full iDevice cart one at a time via a web browser.
    Maverick and IOS 7
    In the fall everything will change , it is amazing what we will be able to do. Over the Air Supervise Mode , Install Apps over the air with no user interaction, App codes become licenses , which are revokeable and reusable. Out of the box enrollment ... There may be no need for Apple Configurator come this fall. So many things are changing I recommend watching the new WWDC2013 Videos, specially the one on device management.
    Back to original topic. 
    I value both products , they have their specilties and when you blended , you can get things done efficiently.

  • FaceTime: One apple ID, multiple devices

    Hi,
    I'm hoping someone can help me solve this dilemma. I have one apple ID that's signed on for multiple devices (iMac, iPad and my iPhone 4). And I'm having tough time trying to figure out how to call from one device to another. For example, from my iPad (when I'm on the road) to my iMac (at home). How do I set that up?
    Thank you in advance.
    Best,
    M.

    When you sign into facetime or imessage you can specify a unique email for that device, this becomes the facetime or imessage id for that device.
    Hense multiple id's per device, certain id's can be used over multiple devices without any issues.  For example settings, itunes, and then sign in with all the same itunes id.
    An apple id has a sub heading
    icloud
    imessage
    facetime
    gamecentre
    itunes
    each can have there own unique email address (id) and each one can be signed out and signed into with a different email address by going through settings, then the app you want.

  • Preparing an iOS device with Apple Configurator and Profiles

    Hi,
    I am using Apple configurator 1.5 to prepare iPods with an updated iOS, backup and profile. Up until recently, I was able to install the the updates and the backup but the profile is not being send to the device. I have to stop the "prepare" setup and manually add the profile to each device.

    I recommend posting in the iPhone or iPad for the Enterprise forums

  • IPad/Apple Configurator/changing profiles on existing backups

    Is there a way to back up an iPad that has an exisiting Apple Configurator profile applied, and then apply a different profile and restore the data without applying the original profile?  Everything I have tried seems to apply the original profile when restoring the backup.  If this is not possible, how can I apply a new profile to an iPad without the user losing all of his data??

    Thanks Chris.  I have an Apple Configurator profile applied to a users iPad that blocks the App Store.  I need to place a new profile on the iPad that allows access to the App Store.  However, when I check in the device it creates a backup and the original profile is saved in the backup.  When I try to apply the new profile it is deployed to the device successfully but when I restore the backup for the user the original profile overrights the new profile.  Both profiles are present after the backup is restored.  I need to be able to place a new profile on a device AND restore data from a backup without that backup applying the original profile.

  • 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.

  • Apple Configurator export profiles

    Hello
    I have install the new Apple Configurator 1.5 and i have a profile that i want export, but i can't find how can export a profiles. I think in the older version i can do that?
    Is this not possible?
    Or where can find a older version of the Apple Configurator?
    regards
    Roger

    in Configurato, switch to the SUPERVISE tab, then click SETTINGS.
    Select a profile.
    Below the profile list you should see the standard IOS "Export" icon - looks like a square with an arrow pointing outwards. Click it.
    That should do the trick!

  • 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.

  • Same apple id multiple devices

    Hi Guys.
    Can you use the same Apple ID on Muliple IPADs ? If so how many ?

    Goodreader, Keynote etc ?
    Thanks for any replies.

  • One Apple ID, Multiple devices

    Getting married soon and joining two Apple households. We will have an iMac, iPad, MacBook and two iPhones. Is it possible to have one apple Id for all of these computers/devices?  Thanks in advance.

    Since you are allowed to share purchases between accounts via Home Sharing in iTunes, my wife and I each have our own separate account and only share stuff that we like in common. It has it's own caveats, (like ninja purchases without notifying the other, ending up in a double purchase) but so far works for us.
    Added:
    As for the single shared account and iCloud, I beileve there was a setting that allowed you to stop auto-downloading.
    You can always go to iTunes / Purchased and manually download things you would like.
    Hopefully they will make it app-specific as I think it would be nice to have songs auto-downloaded (similar tastes) but not apps.

  • HT5622 how to disconnect a device from your apple account (multiple devices in one account)

    I lost my ipod, how do you disconnect it from your apple account?

    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police

  • Apple Mail, multiple devices with POP

    Cheers folks.
    I admit, I'm not much of a Mac user, so please bear with me on what might be a "silly" question. I've been browsing and Googling this issue and have yet to find a reasonable answer.
    Someone I know was having issues with her email. She has three devices; iPad, iPhone and MacBook Pro. Her email is via POP. All three had been working just fine until she returned from a short vacation, when her email was _retrieving_ just fine with the iPad and iPhone, but not her MacBook. She could send emails via the MacBook without any problems, and I found the option to check connection in Apple Mail (connection doctor, I believe it's called?) which showed all authentication was going through just fine, so I could rule out bad password (she'd changed her iTunes password while on vaca). But no matter what we did, she couldn't receive emails on the MacBook. Oh, and of course I verified that she had the correct mail server info and credentials, which were all set as she hadn't touched the device quite a few days.
    I verified that her Apple Mail was set to leave messages on the server for 30 days, and checked her POP settings on the iPhone and iPad (info from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3228) to ensure they were doing the same. All were. Then, on a whim, I powered down her iPad and iPhone. That did the trick. A week's worth of emails just leapt into her inbox.
    Now, this has me curious. While I don't often support users who use Macs or iDevices, it has tweaked my interest on what might be the cause. Has anyone else run into this, or is there a readme on the subject? I'm sure someone will ask me for assistance with these things as more and more friends and family are iPhone and iPad users.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

  • Configuring multiple IPS devices at the sametime

    Hi All,
              I have 10 new IPS devices, i have to do the coniguration on all the 10 devices, the configuration on all the 10 devices wil be same........Is there an easy way to configure multiple devices at the same time (is there any script that can do that) or is there any way to automate this task?
    Thanks,

    Another option is to configure one sensor the way you want, as with Bob's recommendation.  Then copy the current configuration to a remote server (FTP, SCP, HTTP or HTTPS):
    copy current-config ftp:
    Follow the prompts to provide the necessary credentials.  (This example is using a FTP server)
    Next perform the minimal host configuration on each remaining sensor (IP address, access-list), and then copy the saved configuration to each sensor:
    copy ftp: current-config
    Again, provide the necessary credentials as prompted.
    You will then be prompted as to whether to overwrite the host settings; choose not to do so.  This should implement all other sensor options you had configured on the initial sensor.
    Also, as Bob mentioned, this method is sufficient for initial configuration; long-term policy management can be challenging with these processes.  If you will be looking to perform frequent and consistent signature tuning across all ten sensors you may wish to consider making use of Cisco Security Manager which allows you to create a shared signature policy.  This allows you to make the changes to one IPS policy and deploy that policy to all ten sensors concurrently.
