Apple Configurator: "Unable to determine current price of app"

I'm trying to import an free app to the Apple Configurator. Every time I attempt this I get the error message "Unable to determine current price of app."
I've tried creating a new Apple ID to download the app, swapping the Apple ID associated with Apple Configurator, different phones (I have 25 to deploy) and all with the same problem.
I can only find one other mention of this problem http://techrecess.com/2012/03/supervising-devices-with-apple-configurator/ and there's no solution. I'm hoping somebody else will ahve experienced this and found an answer.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

I think you may have given me the solution. I'll ask the company to make the app available on the US store too and I'll see what happens then.
I might file a bug report or similar with Apple. It would be useful if the configurator checked via the store relevant to the country that the account is registered with. Partially defeats the point of setting an account in the configurator.
Thanks for your help.

Unable to determine current location at this time Mavericks

Hello,
I can't get location service running in Mavericks.
I know it worked before. But somehow it stopped working. It doesn't work with map neither.
Thanks in advance.

Perhaps the 'network time server' for the region, that Apple uses, is down at this time(?)
Not sure how one would go about reporting an issue, to somewhere it would matter...
Try unchecking the box next to the automatic time zone location item & set it manually.
{Edit to add: I noticed you asked of this in an older thread, that had suggested this:
OS X Mavericks: Manage which apps can use Location Services
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14318
And I looked into that link, but it does not explain your issue.}
The same item has occurred several times, as indicated by a few similar named topics
that come up on a search via google of those same words; here's the link to that:
https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=mac+os+x+unable+to+determine+current+locati on+at+this+time
You may have to set the TimeZone manually and turn off the automatic location.
This has been an issue in some places (regional, etc) since OS X 10.6.8. but
I have no way of knowing if the cause may be the same or another behind it.
However such an outage (if it could be proven as such) would be difficult to work
around; short of testing the computer in a different Time Zone to see if that network
server was working. Then you could tell if the issue is in the Time Zone you wanted
to be using, and not in the computer itself. A matter of troubleshooting.
{Since these ASC discussion are generally and simply product users who volunteer &
try to answer some varying levels of questions, an inquiry here does not constitute a
contact with Apple, Inc, directly. So please keep that in mind should nobody know
where to look (if possible) to discover an exact match to your issue.}
So, see if the clock and time zone work if you do not have the Automatic location set
and choose the location manually instead. I don't believe a reset of the System
Management Controller (SMC) or the NVRAM/PRAM may be of help; though these
do have some bearing on settings in the computer, for different purposes.
•Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
•About NVRAM and PRAM
Hopefully you won't have to reset anything but the Date/Time panel in the Mac.
Good luck & happy computing!

I ended up bringing the Macbook Pro home with me after struggling with it for a half hour at the end of a long day. I called and within 5 minutes the problem was corrected. The technician said they were getting calls all day.

I have set up our school ipads to be supervised by Apple Configurator and am using VPP to buy apps. I now find the supervised ipads do not allow the pupils to download photos or movies etc. Any suggestions would be great please.

I have set up our school ipads to be supervised by Apple Configurator and am using VPP to buy apps. I did this initially as our school internet connection was stopping us from being able to update the IOS and our County was offering a managed system, Lightspeed, which took control of every device in school which proved very expensive. I now find the supervised ipads do not allow the pupils to download photos or movies etc. As we frequently use the ipads as cameras this is causing us a problem. We have a school imac that I use to keep the devices updated with Apple Configurator (not connected to our network), and this doesn't seem to offer any solution to download them either. I was told there was a setting in Apple Configurator to allow other computers to download from supervised devices, but I can't see it anywhere. I am very new to this so any advice or help would be greatly appreciated please.

I assume you are wanting to take the photos and movies off the iPads?
Connect the iPad to a Apple computer. Open "Image Capture". Any photos or video can me imported to the desktop or other location on your computer.
I had this same problem last year and as we have no wifi I asked lots of people at Apple what I could do - no one provided this answer (a little unbelievable!). If you have wifi using something like dropbox would be an easier solution.
Hope this helps

Apple Configurator Unable to supervise error 33004?

During one of my school organization's monthly iPad car updates, using Apple Configurator, a number of them kick back this error message.
Current version is 1.4.3 and during this update we have been trying to get the iPads up to iOS 8.0.2. I have mentioned an update may be in order, but there was uncertainty, based on Apple Configurator habits of eating codes and early bugs. Google has been unable to provide a match to the error, which prompted this discussion. From what I know, these iPads should not be in MDM at this time, as they were removed this morning. I guess this is a two-fold question of has anyone else experienced this issues, and has there been a solution to the problem.

I am having this same issue as well and I cannot find anything on the internet in regards to this issue besides this one post. I have tried restoring the iPad many different ways including a factory reset. I have made sure it is connected to the correct iTunes and I still get this error. Has anyone else had better luck with this problem? Or has anyone had this problem and had to go to apple to get it fixed? Thank you for all your help a head of time.

HELP! Apple Configurator - 'Unable to sign profile'

Anyone out there able to help, please??
Had Apple Configurator up and running fine. Stupidly decided to do a bit of tweeking and now it won't let me do anything. I unsupervised all my iPads so that I could wipe them for a new group.
I'm now trying to supervise them again and install exactly the same profile and restore a backup. This has worked fine before.
I am now getting a message saying 'Unable to sign profile' and it will not do anything.
Any help, suggestions or anything would be really appreciated. I'm supposed to be using the iPads with a very excited group of 7 and 8 year olds in about three hours. I really don't want to let them down:(

I was just having this issue too. I tried plugging just one in and then messing with its settings and I think the problem was that the wifi was turned off.

Error in Apple Configurator - Unable to Download iOS 7.1.2. The firmware image was corrupted.

The initial update of some iPads failed while preparing them in Apple Configurator. Now this message, Unable to Download iOS 7.1.2. The firmware image was corrupted, appears every time I try to prepare using the Configurator. Can the corrupted firmware image be deleted or is there away around the error?

It should be located here:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.configurator/Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.config urator/Firmware/
Try deleting the ipsw from here and re-download it.

Will Apple configurator work when Ipads already have paid apps on them via VPP redemption code

HI - we have 60 ipads under our care, and until very recently we bought apps using the VPP redemption code method, and loaded them on manually - there was something in the Ts&Cs which allowed you to load a code onto one ipad, then as long as you had enough codes, you could auto install apps on multiple ipads using the same apple id. We have a master backup on the icloud.
We have now got a Mac and I was looking into using Apple Configurator, but I'm not sure how that will work with existing paid apps already on the ipads. Can anyone give me some pointers?

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.

Apple Configurator won't install a purchased VPP app

I'm trying to install Puffin Browser on 20 iPads through a sync cart using Apple Configurator. I purchased it through VPP and imported it in ok, but when I go to add the apps, the check mark is grayed out (see pic below).
Help!!!

Hi joemoorhead,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. This article has instructions for downloading your previous purchases on Apple TV:

Pkgadd: ERROR: unable to determine current run-state

Hello,
I'm working with Solaris 10 5.10 sparc. I have successfully created a package with no difficulties. The package only consists of a bash script that is meant to update system files to enable remote logging and configure a server to accept eventlogs from windows platforms.
After putting together my package, I then try to use
pkgadd -d $PWD on the directory that contains my package. (/export/kelleyt6/kelleyt6_pkg)
The only hint to this error I've managed to find with Google searches is from a SebastianN from years ago:
From ages ago I remember a small bug which prevents pkgadd from determining the current run level, when the server has been up for a long time. iirc, the easiest way to get around it, would be to reboot and run pkgadd again.This is meant to run on a server, so rebooting isn't a very good option. I'm not even sure if rebooting it will help as this tidbit is the ONLY response I've seen to this error. Has anyone else encountered this before? Does anyone know how I might be able to add my package without having to restart core-servers???? I can also restart the zone...but I know that this solution is not preferable either. :-( Any ideas??

Thank you abrante,
after some searching, I've found that several files on this server have been removed. /usr/lib/acct/fwtmp is one of them. Also, /etc/rc[456].d are missing, but I don't think that is the problem. I also notice that rc2.d and rc3.d are disabled. I'm going to have to re-enable those if I can(after its safe to "break" the machine again).
I know we have other packages that have been installed on the system.....so I'm trying to determine why MY package even cares what the run state is. Currently i'm going to re-read through pkgmk and see if there isn't something I can do that makes my package oblivious to run-state....then I'll see if pkgtrans can help.

Apple Configurator unable to redeem codes

I have a cart of 30 iPads, 25 of which recieved the paid app Visual Poetry as expected. Five can not get the app though the AC program shows 5 codes remaining. I have unsupervised and renamed the ipads. I have restarted AC and the Mac. I don't understand why AC shows 5 licenses available and also shows "This code has been redeemed."

I am having this same issue as well and I cannot find anything on the internet in regards to this issue besides this one post. I have tried restoring the iPad many different ways including a factory reset. I have made sure it is connected to the correct iTunes and I still get this error. Has anyone else had better luck with this problem? Or has anyone had this problem and had to go to apple to get it fixed? Thank you for all your help a head of time.

Unable to determine current location and time

So this bug has never been fixed (persists since SL)? I have the same in ML 10.8.3 with Location Services enabled...
Anybody got this working?

I'm having the same problem. I recently moved from Oregon to Michigan, i.e., new time zone. I travel a lot and have never experienced not having the time zone adjust automatically. I'm running 10.8.4 on a 2009 macbook pro. I can't find any suggestions that seem to be working for everyone.
The weird thing is though, I've been in Michigan for 2 weeks now, and this is the first time I noticed that the time was 3 hours off----which makes me wonder if it HAS been working until today. But I can't be sure. Just seems weird that I didn't notice until now.

How can I get the apple configurator to retain a devices settings and apps?

Hi there all!
I have an iPhone that already has apps and email settings on it. I want to use the configurator to stop the device being paired with anything else not allow it to connect to any other Macs. I've connected it, backed it up, enabled supervision, then deployed the profile. Through out all of this I never get the option to restore device settings and when I click on edit stored backups, it contains nothing. With supervsion disabled I can restore the backup but, snag is to disallow pairing it needs to be supervised.
Also, am I right in thinking that once it's supervised I can't install any apps directly from the device ?
Sorry if these are really noddy questions :-) I just want to stop the device from being able to connect to or pair with anything other than my mac.
Thanks
Will

Jpegs can't have transparent areas. Most likely you had layers and were forced to save "as a copy", which means that the image which remains open in PSE is not the jpg. A file saved as a copy makes a copy in the save format, but it's not like save as where you now see the newly saved version instead of the original. The original remains open and unsaved onscreen.

Apple Configurator Restriction not letting me see any apps

I am deploying 80 iPads and am about to pull my hair out. Now that the update issues between OSX 10.2 and configurator have been worked out, I thought that I'd sail right through this. Not so...
I am using a Bretford cart and keep getting stuck. Once I go through all of the steps of preparing and supervising, the apps are installed but I don't see the app icons anywhere and if I do a search for them on the iPad, nothing comes up.
I ran them all through iTunes and restored them all from a backup and they all looked the same and had what they needed on them, but obviously there weren't any restrictions and that's what I need. When I hooked them back up to Configurator to supervise them, I was able to change their names, add the profile and thought it would be done. Not so...
I went to settings on the iPads and see that all 17 are installed. I removed the student profile that I had set up in the iPads general settings and then I could see them all, but the camera icons, and others that I wanted to restrict are there as well.
I have "install apps" checked in the Restrictions in the profile that I created. I am obviously missing something, because otherwise what would be the point??!

When I set one up right out of the box in Configurator unsupervised, it gets all the way to "Tap device to install profile". The device itself wants me to set it up from scratch using the setup assistant.
Once I get all the way through it, the apps are there, but there is nothing to tap and the profile isn't installed.
I I selected "Prepare" again and unchecked "Erase before Installing" and then the install button appeared. However, once I installed the profile, the apps disappeared again, even though when I click on general- about - the name is right and it tells me that there are 17 apps installed.
