Apple Configurator refresh is removing MDM profile

I have noticed that with Apple Configurator 1.4 and IOS 7, every time I refresh an iPad, my MDM profile is removed. Has anybody else come across this? does anybody have a solution?
I have confirmed that the Apple Configurator preferences are set to NOT remove profiles that Configurator did not install.
Thanks,

configurator 1.4. is bugged. Here is the notes from my apple support call.
"I am adding impact with our engineers for you regarding two known issues:
- Enrollment profiles for MDM being removed upon refreshing a Supervised device
- Paid apps changing to "Free" upon importing an App update"
Not really impressed that they threw this out there with these bugs.. I mean really.. that's two things that 3/4 of your customers that use configurator are going to use.

  • Apple configurator does NOT remove passcode

    Apple configurator is not removing the passcode when the ipad is plugged back into the cart. I have spent days looking for a solution but can not find one, every article i read says that apple configurator removes passcode's once the ipad is plugged back in. We are not setting passcode on the ipad because it is not assisgned to a specific student. here is the setup i am doing with configurator.
    1 - setup 2 policy in configurator (1 fo wireless connection, 2 - for setting restrictions)
    2 - plug in 1 ipad and supervise it
    3 - set up supervised ipad the way we want and created backup (did this with the ipad still plugged into cart and unpluged from cart)
    4 - plug in second ipad, set prepare ti restore from ipad one backup
    5 - second ipad added to configurator with no issues.
    6 - unplug second ipad from cart, set password and wait for it to lock
    7 - plug back into cart.
    configurator will see the ipad then it just sits there says waiting for device to be ready
    it will not remove the passcode, if i then type in the passcode configurator will then upadte device.
    Any one have any idea's. This has happened to 2 different carts.I have even re-installed the laptop from scratch and still the same issue.

    Hi MStorm (and others having the same issue)
    There is a way to clear the passcode from an iPad that only take about 10 seconds but it is a bit of a mess.  If you plug the iPad into the computer with configurator and press REFRESH (don't panic - we are not going to fully Refresh it) the passcode is removed in about 3-5 seconds.  Try turning it on and see if it works.  Once it is unlocked, unplug it and stop the refresh.
    I know it is a bit ugly but it does work and does not take a long time.

  • Used Apple Configurator to install free MDM app on unsupervised device - How will it update?

    In hopes of cutting down deployment time, I am testing Apple Configurator to pre-install our MDM app (Worx Home by Citrix) on the iPhone/iPad. The devices will be unsupervised. I've searched through the documentation and can't find an answer to this question/scenario:
    So I installed this App using my MacBook/Apple Configurator using my own Apple ID. What happens when the Worx Home app is updated and the end-user goes to update it? Will they be prompted for my Apple ID password?
    If so, that seems a little bit... uh... short-sighted by Apple and very enterprise-unfriendly. There needs to be a way to pre-install a free app, such as an MDM product app, and have the end-user tie that app to their own Apple ID either when they open the App for the first time or update it the first time.

    Wait unti the app is done downloading in your iTunes. Then go back to your VPP account and down load the spreadsheet again and upload into configurator. The process is a pain, but the only way it works for you to get all of your codes into configurator.

  • Create IOS app to remove MDM profile

    Hi,
    I need a way to automatically remove specific profiles from ipads and then reinstall from a URL. Is this something that could be achieved with Xcode?
    I am an experienced c# programmer and thinking off learning objective C. This may well be my first project. I work as an IT manager and we have just started rolling out iPads, etc using MDM.
    Any advice is much appreciated.
    Ps I know that I can do this with the MDM. This is to deal with unusal circumstances that sometimes occur in IT!, and the end user doesnt want to uninstall settings themselves.

    Hi, Andrew-
    What specifically are you looking for?  It's unclear if you're looking for best practices or other documentation.  Thanks,

  • Apple Configurator: Enable to install profile code=14

    So I am trying to manage a iPhone 3Gs using OSX Server  and Apple Configurator.
    For OSX server:
    I am running:
    - Open Directory
    - DNS with the zone local and the mini.local (which is my OSX server machine)
    - Websites
    - Profile Manager
    I created a self signed certificate for the OSX Server profile manager, checked the 'Sign Configuration files' where I use this self signed certificate.
    In Profile manager (https://mini.local/profilemanager/) I created a Enrollment Profile which I downloaded and I downloaded the trust certificate.
    In Apple configurator I created a WiFi profile which only contains information about my WiFi connection.
    Using Apple Configurator I configure the iPhone 3Gs (Supervision is on) and I upload the three profiles:
    - Wifi
    - Trust
    - Enrollment
    Everything works, accept for the enrollment profile.
    I tried several stuff, including setting the ipaddress for the DNS of the mini into the iphone.
    Unfortunately I keep getting this error in my logs:

    Self fixed.  Found an unauthorized app had modified the HOST file to prevent check in with Apple.

  • Apple configurator installing wlan profile eduroam fails

    Hey,
    i want to use apple configurator to install a wifi profile on some ipads. the preparing works but when i'm in supervising mode and try to install the profile there comes an error message with following error codes:
    4001 profile installation fails
    4001 profile couldn't be installed
    1009 the profile "xxx" could not be installed
    13000 wifi network "eduroam" could not be installed
    13004 wifi network "eduroam" could not be configured for EAP
    all i want is that the user has to enter his username and password when the wifi network appears because every staff member has it's own.
    It would be great if anyone could help me!

    Thank you kind sir. I have contacted Meraki to ask the all-important question of "Y U NO CHARGE MONIES?" and got a very helpful representative. I'm signed up now and going to start reading their documentation.
    As far as the 16-port hub, I agree a larger one would be nice once I know what I'm doing but again I'm trying to be fiscally responsible with the tax-payer money we use. Many deployment models I read about online suggested keeping yourself to 15-20 devices at a time instead of going for the 30 device Apple says or the 49-port sync that Datamation has. I appreciate the feedback though. If this pilot expands I will feel more comfortable suggesting the purchase of additional equipment.

  • Using Apple Configurator to upload profiles to an iPhone

    I was using the iPhone Configuration Utility (ICU) to upload profiles to my iPhone 4S.  There were a couple of useful tweaks that were only possible using this method, such as specifying that the App Store should always ask for a password, regardless.
    ICU doesn't support iOS 6, so I've had to move to the Apple Configurator app.  However, I can't for the life of me figure out how to use this to simply upload a new profile to my phone.  As far as I can tell, any attempt to do so will erase all the data on the phone, which is unnecessary and unwanted under the circumstances.
    Could someone explain the step-by-step method for doing this?
    Thanks

    Hey Scotch Brawth,
    I haven't migrated from ICU to AC, but I have used Configurator quite a bit. Using Configurator in "unsupervised" mode doesn't require you to erase all of your data. I add configuration profiles all the time to iPads without deleting any data on the devices. If you try to "supervise" your iPad with Apple Configurator, then yes it will wipe all of your data.
    If I were in your shoes, first I would make an encrypted backup in iTunes (always good to make a backup just in case something goes wrong). Then I would use the Prepare tab in Apple Configurator and create the configuration profile to specify that the App Store should prompt for passwords. I'd click on the "+" sign at the bottom of the "Profiles" area within Apple Configurator and choose "Create new profile." I would give the profile a name. Select Restrictions in the left column. Click Configure on the right side. Scroll down and place a check box next to "Require iTunes Store password for all purchases." Click Save. Back on the Prepare screen I would be sure that Supervision is Off, iOS is "No Change," Restore should be "Don't Restore Backup." I would place a checkmark next to the new configuration profile and click the Prepare button.
    Hope this helps.

  • IPad golden image distribution on Apple Configurator

    Hi All,
    Appreciate if someone could shed some light on this.
    We are currently using Apple Configurator to supervise iPads using a "golden image" created from the master iPad.
    As our company expands, there is a need to supervise iPads on other sites using their own Macbooks.
    In this case, we are wondering if there is a way to distribute the iPad "golden image" to the other sites, so
    they could use the exact same iPad settings as ours.
    Thanks for any input

  • When importing a spreadsheet with redeem codes into apple configurator, it says it's not the right codes for the app.  But it is the right codes. I used one of the codes to purchase the app in itunes.

    I have a cart of 25 ipads with a macbook air.  I have logged into my VPP account and purchased the needed number of copies.  I downloaded the spreadsheet.  I took the first code from the spreadsheet, and logged into itunes using a regular account (not my VPP account), and used the code to download the app.  I put the app into configurator and then tried to add the spreadsheet with the codes in it.  It comes up and tells me that it is not the correct spreadsheet for that app. But it is the correct spreadsheet!!  I tried re-downloading the spreadsheet again and even tried re-downloading the app.  So I've now used two of my redeem codes and still can't get it to accept it into apple configurator.  I removed the app from apple configurator and re-added it.  The error message says it's not the right codes for the app "Grammar Games by Tap To Learn" and to please get the codes for "Grammar Games by Tap To Learn."  It's the same one!

    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.

  • IOS 7 and Apple Configurator

    Hello Everyone,
    So I know I am not the first person with these problems. I have been unable to add/change profiles on any student iPad. I've also been unable to install new apps either. Apple Configurator is stating that the profile says apps cannot be installed, even though that isn't the case.
    At this point, I can't make any changes to any settings on any iPad on our carts. Is there a solution that I don't know about? Is there a fixi coming out in the next couple of days for this?

    I don't think it will allow you to connect to a PC, only to a Mac.  this is only for the task of downloading pictures or videos.  It serves no other purpose that I'm aware of.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5895
    There is no mention of this working with PC and since Apple Configurator is Mac only, then when you activate Supervised mode, you are restricted to that particular Mac, except for transferring images and videos.
    I hope this helps.

  • I have an Apple Configurator install that wont recognize an iPad when I attach it via USB.  I cant prepare it or refresh it.  It was supervised.  I get an error message that says "policy does not have correct profile data".  Please help!!!

    I have an Apple Configurator install that wont recognize an iPad when I attach it via USB.  I cant prepare it or refresh it.  It was supervised.  I get an error message that says "policy does not have correct profile data".   At some point there was a mismatch between the profile on the iPad and the MAC server.  The profile on the MAC server has been deleted and the iPad has been erased and reset to default.  I need to be able to get Configurator to recognize this device to prepare it for deployment and issue Apps to it.   Please help!!

    Run the application 'Terminal.app' which you will find in '/Applications/Utilities' on your Macintosh.
    Type this into it: defaults delete com.apple.configurator PreprationSavedPolicyDefaultsKey
    Hit the return key.
    If you get no error message, it worked, and you can quit the app.

  • How to remove Apple Configurator Profile - iPad

    On my iPad a supervision profile has been installed using Apple Configurator. Is there a way to remove this profile without restoring.
    When I tried syncing my iPad to my computer a message came up, notifying my that my 'iPad is supervised with another computer and cannot be used with this computer.'
    I belive this has occurred because of this supervison profile and I can't seem to remove this profile.
    I don't have access to both the Apple Configurator application that was used to create it and the computer that it is supervised with.
    I have tried recovery mode and a few other basic ways that could remove this.
    I need a way to remove this profile without removing all my data or accessing the Apple Configurator itself.
    Max.

    Unfortunately, if you don't have access to the computer that the iPad was supervised with you won't be able to unsupervise it without resetting the device (and thus losing all of the apps and data).
    The idea behind Supervising is that control lies with the person managing the devices (teacher, I.T. staff, etc), not the end user. In Supervision mode, the person managing the devices is "king" and has control of installing apps, configuration profiles, etc. When an iPad is initially Supervised, it is wiped clean of previous data, apps, and settings. This prevents a personal device from being supervised by another person without their knowledge. Once Supervised, it is no longer a "personal" device…it is managed. The same sort of thing happens when you unsupervise a supervised device…it deletes everything so that the manager is no longer "king" and the user regains all control by starting with a clean iPad without data, apps, or controlled settings.
    You may want to try and manually back up as much as you can to services like Dropbox before resetting the device.
    I know this is not the answer you want to hear, but I hope it helps understand why it is what it is. Good luck.

  • Can I prevent afaria MDM Profile removal on IPAD Devices?

    Hello,
    I would like to know if I can prevent the AFARIA Profile removal from the option : settings -> General -> Profile. I know if the end user removes manually the config payload sent from AFARIA and installed as a profile on the device, the MDM surveilance will not work anymore. So I need to know if there is a way to avoid, prevent or block this action from the user on this profile installed for AFARIA. I was Reading several blogs and this is a general problem on MDM world, but I need to know if with AFARIA i can avoid this issue.
    I'll wait for your answers
