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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Turn off an iPod configured with Apple Configurator and in supervise mode locked to one application.

I have configured an iPod touch using the Apple configurator. The iPod is set in supervisor mode and I have configured it to start one of our own apps. It works ok. But I can't turn off the iPod holding the on/off button as usual. I dont get the turn off slider. I can only turn the display off by clicking on the on/off button.
I want to be able to turn it off completely to save battery.

I wouldn't suggest going to get it yourself. You could find yourself in a situation you cannot get out of and could get hurt. Second, as stated before, it is more for misplaced or lost devices, not stolen devices. Many police agencies do not feel they have probable cause, just from your statement on a map location to justify attempts to recover the device. There have been many posts from others who have had devices stolen where the police will not confront someone based on that map location. I understand you are impacted by the theft, but this is what we have insurance for. To protect your content, from now on I suggest you put a passcode on the device. I hope you have changed all of the passwords for accounts you had on the device, since all of your content and data was accessible to the thief.

HT201334 Installing an enrolment profile using Apple Configurator gives a 401 error...

I'm using Mountain Lion with OS X Server and configurator doesn't let me import the mdm profile created using profile manager. Any ideas?

Err.. disregard this. It turns out I hadn't authorized the Apple ID I was using to install the free apps on the computer I was setting up the iPads on. The solution was to go into iTunes, then Store > Authorize This Computer

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.

Unable to check supervision, Apple Configurator

When I connect the specific two ipads to configurator, configurator says "unable to check supervision". But when connected to other configurators, the two ipads get configured well. So I guess it is a issue with the Mac, not iPad. But I have like 50 devices set up in the configurator already, and I don't want to clean out and do it again.
Any suggestions?

Unable to check out Ipad in Apple Configurator

I am experiencing an error code when I try to check out an Ipad in Configurator "unable to change user". I am able to supervise and install apps. However when I go to check out the Ipad, the error description states it is unable to load the PDF documents into Adobe reader because the app is not present. The app is present however and I can access with not issues. Any help would be appreciated.

Have you seen this thread:
Apple Configurator "unable to change user"

Apple Configurator could not access its supervision certificate.

Hi There,
My Apple Configurator keeps getting this error when ever i open it.
Just wondering if anyone could help me, got no idea what to do.
Thanks

I had this issue today when I updated my Configurator and after looking into Keychain found that there is a Private Key entry for Apple Configurator.
Double-click on the private key and then click on 'Access Control'
From here I figured that the reference to Apple Configurator in here is the original one that was replaced, so I removed it and then clicked the + to add it fresh.
After doing that my Apple Configurator loaded as normal.
Hope that works for you.

Explain to Me: Supervision within Apple Configurator

I do not fully understand the "Supervise" aspect of Apple Configurator.
Does supervising a device give you Over the Air capabilities you do not have without supervision? Can you then push apps to supervised devices accross the country that you could not otherwise do without supervision?
The Apple Configurator Manual reads:
"Set Supervision to Off if you want to configure a device once with Apple Configurator. Set Supervision to On if you intend to maintain control of a device on an ongoing basis by reapplying a configuration regularly."
What does it mean by "intend to maintain control of a device on an ongoing basis"? I plan on centrally configuring many iPads and shipping accross the country. I want to have the ability to track them and it would be nice if I could have them install apps from afar if need be...
But I also read "when you configure a supervised device, you can't supervise it or sync it with any other computer running Apple Configurator or iTunes."
Does this mean that if I supervise a device and send it thousands of miles away to a teacher only to discover it is missing a few apps, the teacher will not be able to download the necesary apps?

Thank you very much. So far I've been asking about MDM in the context of a prolonged program. However, right now I am also confronted with a short term problem that I could really use your knowledge for:
I deployed 28 iPads yesterday to one location. We configured them manually and only installed 3 apps on each one, all of which were free. We did not use VPP or Apple Configurator with it, because we do not have a mac yet and are only at the beginning steps of the program.
However, those 28 iPads will now need to have potentially 300+ apps on them, and we need to send them redemption codes via the VPP.
Sending them URLs via email and requiring them to click each one would be devastatingly burdensome.
Is it possible for me to create a meraki account on my PC, have my teacher "enable Systems Manager on his devices" allowing him to "securely connect to Meraki’s cloud, enabling me to deploy applications."? In other words, will Meraki be able to use VPP codes and send entire packages of apps to all 28 devices without Apple Configurator? What would the teacher have to do on his end on his iPads?

Apple Configurator 1.3.1 crashes. I haven't been able to prepare any IPad with the configurator.

New to this process and we are setting up bays for IPads in an education environment. I'm able to load a profile (unsupervised) onto an IPad but as soon as I choose supervise and prepare the IPad the Apple Configurator crashes with the error message below. I'm not sure how to proceed from this - running OSX 10.7.5 and configurator 1.3.1. The Mac book pro was bought to supervise the IPads and not used for anything else. Have reinstalled configurator without any luck. Any help would be appreciated.

Boy, I sure hope you found a solution to this. THe exact same thing happened top me, yesterday. I thought it was the updates to the iTunes store and the release of iOS 7. However, today, it is still happening. I was partway through setting up iPads for a 1:1 initiative. The first 11 worked fine, then the strangeness started.    Most of it seemed to relate to the iTunes store, but the worst part is exactly as you describe, and I have the same setup.   MacBook Pro specifically to manage the iPads. Configurator crashes whenever a device is hooked up to "supervise" even if it is fresh out of the box. The details on the crash also show the "Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'ACUUnpackFirmwareOperation cannot fail the operation and without setting an error'"
Oh, did I mention I have to have the iPads set up next week?
HELP!

Apple Configurator: The configuration for your iPad could not be downloaded from organisation . Invalid Profile.

Good afternoon,
I am really struggling with a deployment of 10 iPad Minis.
The iPads are brand new and I have downloaded and installed Apple Configurator onto our Apple Air laptop.
I have configured Apple Configurator in the following way:
Under Prepared:
Settings
Name is ticked with 'Number sequentially starting at 1'.
Supervision is ticked to on, Allow devices to connect to other Macs is also ticked.
Update iOS is set to "When update is available". Erase before installing is ticked.
Restore is set to "Don't restore backup".
No profiles are listed in the profiles section.
Apps
I have copied in some appropriate apps.
Setup
Skip: Restore, Passcode, Siri, Touch ID, Apple Pay, App Analytics all ticked.
I have not configured Device Enrollment.
In "Configure Settings..." Device Enrollment is not configured.
After preparing my iPads, they all connect and prepare correctly. When I select any iPad and unlock it, the following happens:
Hello, slide to setup
Select language, UK selected
Select Your Country or Region, UK selected
Choose a Wi-Fi Network, correct network selected and authenticated
Location Services: Enabled
Configuration, "<organisation> can automatically configure your iPad". Apply Configuration or Skip Configuration. Apply selected.
Configuration, "The configuration for your iPad could not be downloaded from <organisation>. Invalid Profile.
Apple Configurator is showing no errors, have tried Supervise>Reset, makes no difference.
Have skipped configuration and erased iPad before trying again, same problem.
Any suggestions would be really appreciated.

Trouble using apple configurator

I have been trying to setup 20 iPads using Apple configurator for the last couple of days. I purchased all of my codes for each of the apps I want to install on the iPads. I have everything setup, but for some reason whenever I try to put the apps on the iPads using the codes through Apple configurator, I get an error saying that the code could not be redeemed and that I need to put my Apple ID and password in. I have authorized the computer with itunes and have done everything that I can think of, but I continue to get the same error. I am clearly missing something and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Restarting Apple Configurator and/or redownloading and reimporting the VPP codes will often cure this issue.
You should receive a pop up prompt, within Apple Configurator, asking you to sign in with your Apple ID* when trying to deploy apps that are using VPP codes to any iPads. Sometimes this prompt doesn't appear but disconnecting all the iPads and restarting Apple Configurator normally cures it.
*This should be the Apple ID you used to download the app within iTunes before you imported the app into Apple Configurator - not the VPP account used to purchase the VPP codes.
