Apple Configurator will not restore my WiFi settings

We have 120 iPads 1's running iOS 5.1.1, I created an backup from an iPad whos Wifi setting are pre-configured and working.
I then take a backup of that iPad and attempt to restore it to several others. The Wifi setting will not carry over to the other devices.
please help....

What I've done is create an enrolment wireless LAN
Create a profile for the enrolment wireless in apple configurator with auto join on
Along with auto device enrol and trust certificate just the bare minimum to enable enrolment
As you'd normally want to do most configuration from your mdm
In the mdm I've configured profiles for the wireless I want the device to connect to and enable auto join eg staff
And any other profiles required for the user, mail, VPN, ldap etc
Use apple configurator to prepair the device and get in enrolled
Once it's enrolled it will have whatever profiles you've configured in the mdm for the device
Turn off the enrolment wireless LAN and the device auto joins whatever wireless you've configured in profile manager
If you turn the enrolment wireless back on it won't auto join the enrolment wireless unless the wireless you've configured in profile manager and pushed to the device is off or it can't connect for some reason
If any wifi changes are nessesary turn your enrolment wifi back on and push out whatever you need
Having the enrolment wireless give you a sort of back door into he device when needed

I have a iPhone 4 in recovery mode and it will not restore to factory settings.

I have a iphone 4 in recovery mode and it will not restore to factory settings. I get the error message error 21 and 2001. What can I do? I have tried all the steps.

Did you go through the troubleshooting information here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Check for hardware issues
Related errors: 1, 3, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 20, 21, 23, 26, 27, 28, 29, 34, 35, 36, 37, 40, 1000, 1002, 1004, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1667, or 1669.
Try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good. Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers. If you still see the error message when you update or restore, contact Apple support.
and
Check USB connections
Related errors: 13, 14, 1600, 1601, 1602, 1603, 1604, 1611, 1643-1650, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, 4000, 4005, 4013, 4014, 4016, “invalid response,” and being prompted to restore again after a restore completes.
If there’s an issue with the USB port, cable, dock, or hub, or if the device becomes disconnected during restore, try troubleshooting the USB connection, then troubleshooting your security software.
To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
Use another USB cable.
Plug your cable into a different USB port on your computer.
Try a different dock connector (or no dock).
Add (or remove) a USB hub between your device and computer.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, with no routers, hubs, or switches.
If you checked your connections and are still seeing the error message, check for hardware issues.
If so, then it's a hardware problem. Make an appointment at the genius bar and get it replaced. Based on the "it was water damaged", I think it's a safe bet that it's toast.

Apple configurator will not import redemption codes

Apple configurator is not importing codes for several of the apps that we have already purchased. The only thing I can tell with this specific example is the name of the application has changed since original purchase. The name of the application is currently KidCalc 7-in-1 Math Fun (Including Valentine's
Day, Easter and Birthday Party Themes).
In another instance I get the same message for an application that is named EXACTLY as it should be. Is anyone else experiencing problems with importing their VVP codes? Our school can't affort to rebuy these apps.

There's more info under the iPhone discussion - same problem.

New Apple TV will not connect to WiFI.

I have a brand new Apple TV. When I first set it up it connected to my Airport Extrement WiFi with no problem. A few hours later it will not connect to any WiFi. It does not see any WiFi available. I have rest it. Reset my WiFi. Nothing works.

ZHall55,
Regarding the update issue: I have seen other users saying they cannot update with the ethernet cable but has worked when they have removed the cable and updated using WiFI, then reconnected the ethernet and it worked fine. Try it and see.

Tried Everything..iPhone 3g will not restore to factory settings!

I get a message saying "Windows does not recognize the device, one of the USB devices has malfunctioned." I have tried everything..watched You tube to find out how to restore phone..made sure iTunes was up to date..uninstalled iTunes..installed iTunes. No matter what I do..my iPhone will not show up in iTunes or restore. I even went into AT&T store to find out what else I could do and the guy told me I needed to hold down both buttons for 15 minutes, and definately something would show up on the iphone if not iTunes to restore the phone. I held those buttons till i couldn't feel my fingers anymore, and still nothing. I just want to see if my iPhone is broke before I buy the new iPhone 4. Also I have an iPod 2nd Gen. No problem with that not showing up in iTunes, so that's why I'm thinking it is in fact my phone that has the problem. I don't want to take it to the Apple Store, they'll just charge me $30. So if anyone else has any suggestions, would really appreciate it..I'm at my wits end. Thank You!

Apple Configurator will not update

Apple Configurator was downloaded by different user and now i am unable to update. I'm thinking i should delete the app and reinstall on my mac book pro but, I dont want to lose the image files that already exist.. Can anyone give me some advise?

Deleting the app won't cause its files to be deleted. Back up all data before making any changes.

Ipad Air disabled and will not restore to factory settings.

Hi Guys,
I recently had my ipad disabled by my little brother. He didn't know the password and kept going until he was completely locked out of it. I am familiar with restoring the device as it has happened once before.
That time it all went smoothly. However now I cant seem to get past the updates. Every time I try to restore the device it begins to update and then fails an hour into the process. It's so bloody frustrating.
Is there any particular reason why this update keeps failing or anyone know how I can restore without updating??
If it helps I receive a message of an "unknown error -39" which keeps appearing.
All help will be greatly appreciated as I have important projects on this thing

I do not know that that particular code means, but many times, antivirus software and USB connections can have a negative impact on restoring with iTunes.
My suggestion would be to quit iTunes, restart both devices, disable your firewall and antivirus software, and use another USB a port if you have one to use.

Ipod "corrupted" and will not restore following logging on to itunes

Please please help!! I have recently bought 2 ipod classic's (120GB). I have previously had MP3 players and all of my music has been in either wma or mp3 format on the computer (through windows media). i have managed to convert all 500+ albums over to itunes but my ipod is now apparently corrupted "code 1439". I have tried everything on the apple website and it will not restore to factory settings. Th ipod itself is saying 0KB free even though there is nothing on it. I tried to download music from itunes and it got to three albums and then crashed. This is my second ipod, having sent the previous one back to the retailer. If anybody can help then it will be greatly appreciated. Computer runs on windows XP pro, Norton 360 installed, and all of my music is still in Windows media as well.
Cheers

Step 1
Take all the applicable steps in this support article.
Step 2
If you're running OS X 10.8.4 or later, run Wireless Diagnostics and take the remedial steps suggested in the summary that appears, if any. The program also generates a large file of information about your system, which would be used by Apple Engineering in case of a support incident. Don't post the contents here.
Step 3
If you're not using a wireless keyboard or trackpad, disable Bluetooth by selecting Turn Bluetooth Off from the menu with the Bluetooth icon. If you don't have that menu, open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and check the box marked Show Bluetooth in menu bar. Test. Continue if you find that Wi-Fi is faster with Bluetooth disabled.
From that same menu, select Open Bluetooth Preferences. If the box labeled Discoverable is checked, uncheck it. Click the Advanced button, and in the sheet that opens, uncheck the top three boxes, if any are checked. Click OK. Enable Bluetooth and test again.
If the application called "Bluetooth Setup Assistant" is running, quit it.
Step 4
This step will erase all your settings in the Network preference pane. Make a note of them before you begin, and recreate them afterwards. It may be helpful to take screenshots of the preference pane.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "SystemConfiguration" selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 5
Reset the System Management Controller.
Step 6
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional — ask if you need guidance.
If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
Keeping your confidential data secure during hardware repair
*An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.

HT201263 Ipad will not accept my wifi network, after restoration. What now??

My Ipad froze up with the announcement that the I cloud had not been backed up for 3 weeks. after frustration, I went to support and restored..Now I pad will not accept my wifi..help I am a novice

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

My apple Tv will not airplay, this is the 3rd one i have exchanged and my devices airplay just fine elsewhere, could there be a problem with the wifi even though all of the other functions are working fine?

Hello there, AntRambo.
The following Knowledge Base articles may provides some steps to go over for troubleshooting your issue:
iOS and OS X: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4199
And also the following:
iOS: Troubleshooting AirPlay and AirPlay Mirroring
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4215
Particularly but not exclusively of note:
If the AirPlay icon doesn't appear
Ensure that you have followed the steps in using AirPlay and AirPlay Mirroring.
If you are still unable to see the AirPlay icon , try one of the following steps:
If trying to AirPlay, or AirPlay mirror, to your Apple TV, ensure that AirPlay is enabled on your Apple TV as well. You can enable or disable AirPlay on Apple TV in the AirPlay menu: Settings > AirPlay.
Check Internet or network connectivity on all affected devices. Some content requires an Internet connection to authorize content playback. AirPlay capabilities may be limited if your network is not connected to the Internet.
If attempting to use AirPlay from a third-party app or a website from your Safari app on your iOS device, confirm that the app or website is AirPlay compatible (refer to the developers of the app or website for additional information).
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

I have changed to AT&T U-verse, which has a new modem and router combined. Safari 5.1.10 will not recognize the wifi signal, but Foxfire will. What settings do I need to change on Safari?

Hello SalsburgD
The first thing I would check is to make sure that the router is using the recommended settings to get online. Another troubleshooting step is to create a new Network Location and then join your network to see if that changes things.

My wives phone will not restore. we have had an apple tech and a verizon tech on this issue. we are trying to restore from a previous backup from iCloud. it is large. but a month now?! Help!

We restored her new iphone 5s from a backup on icloud from her previous iphone 5. it was restoring for two weeks! we called apple and eventually reset and started over. verizon had us do this again a week and a half later. still, now, its been over two and a half weeks and the phone will not restore from her icloud backup. she has alot of our pictures from the recent past holidays and pictures in icloud that we dont want to loose. along with all her itunes purchases.she is starting to get really upset. i know her backup was a fairly big one but if icloud sold her the storage to do the backup. why cant we get her phone to restore from this icloud backup? Is it the device? is that covered under our apple care? or under our phone warranty? Is it the size of the backup? im so lost and want to help her. I, writing this on the support community to see if you guys can help us. i really dont wat to spend another grand on a phone. thank you for your time. thanks for reading. happy holidays to you all..

Essentially it would mean another Internet connection yes, however it's your local network that I am wondering about and whether it could be the problem.

I updated an iPod touch, an iPad 2, and an iPhone 4 to iOS 6, and all of them now will not connect to WiFi. They all give this wierd 404 error page from Apple and insist that I need to login to the network. Bad job testing the software Apple.

Reset device, reset network, renew lease, etc. None of them work.

Does the iPod work OK?
Does it charge when connect to the computer?
Does it appear in My Computer?
Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Compare with the iPod that does work/connect.
I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1

iPod touch (3rd generation)
iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.
