Apple configurator with ios 7.1

Hi,
I realized for a client deployment 170 ipads Air in ios 7.04 and 7.06 no problem with appleconfigurator.
Since the arrival of the ios 7.1 the following difficulties arrived (even putting it all updates):
-impossible to avoid a startup screen
-impossible to attach automatically a wireless network
-impossible to install in automatic mode (after deployment) profiles configurations
Since the last update ios 7.1 I must be enroll all the ipads in 2 stages for completion, in addition to manipulations joining the wireless network, why? How to go back one step?

I've just seen this message for the first time and it's showing on 10 devices.
What I really love about Apple Configurator is the copious amount of context driven help offered to you.
"Unable to send ClearPasscode command to device.
The device was disconnected.
Check the USB connection to the device."

  • Can I prohibit students from setting a Passcode Lock in Apple Configurator with iOS 7?

    I manage 120 iPads at a high school and am running into an issue with the iOS 7 update.  Students now have the ability to go into settings and set a Passcode Lock which will be a hassle once they realize this.  Does anyone know if Configurator has the ability to prohibit students from having the ability to set this?  They also have the ability to set restrictions codes but I'm assuming I'll have to go into every iPad and set this myself to cut that off before it becomes a problem.  I just can't find a way to do this for the screen lock code.

    Sorry, but there still seems to be no way to block someone from setting a screenlock passcode.
    Regards.

    I am trying to use apple configurator with ipads. I have been successful with preparing and supervising all ipads but one. When preparing it in configurator, I receive an error that it is refreshed but with an error. Under supervise, I am not able to add apps. I have erased all content to start over but this does not work either

    Are you trying to restore a backup, or just sync some apps? Do you have profiles installed on the device?
    Have you plugged the ipad into iTunes, and did a fresh install? I'm assuming the device went through the prepare setup properly. You many have to unsupervise it first, then plug it into iTunes to wipe it completely.
    I'd then do each step seperately. Prepare it, then install 1 app, if that works, try another app, then maybe a profile.

  • Apple Configurator with 12 iPads

    Hi I have 12 ipads in my department. I have 3 iTunes accounts which are assigned to the iPads - basically 4 to each account. Can I use Apple configurator with several different iTunes accounts to manage these iPads or should I keep it managed through iTunes??

    I have the same issue I think.  Whenever I am trying to update or configure them they will all go to the iTunes symbol and I have to take each one out of the charging station and manually configure them with my MacBook.  Other times it just wiped them clean and then I just have to load the profile.  It is hit or miss.  When it works...it works great...when it doesn't....well it just doesn't.  I was told by our tech department that it should have an update coming this summer.

  • Apple Configurator custom iOS version option

    As of last week, Apple Configurator custom iOS version option seems to be failing out.Previously we were able to install or upgrade to iOS 8.1.3 instead of iOS 8.2 until we have tested applications to confirm they are working on the latest iOS version. When using the custom iOS version, it fails out during the iOS install issue.
    It also appears the iTunes will no longer let a device be restored to the 8.1.3 ipsw either.
    Has anyone else experienced this issue?

    Dear HyperNova,
    Firstly I thank you for your prompt reply to my question. However I do object to your response that you "seriously doubt anyone from Apple would tell me that" - are you seriously questioning my integrity that I would post that if not true! It is no wonder that people shy away from posting on forums when they get that sort of response.
    I was advised by the support person I spoke to that it was intended for developer previews but that I could try it for earlier versions of iOS. It may not be a "supported' feature - but I WAS advised by Apple support that I could do this and it worked.

  • HT5927 Using apple configurator with supervised devises, enabling iCloud/ find my iOS device (after being supervised), backing up that supervised / find my iPhone enabled image, --issue; unable to apply back up to any iOS device (including the orign. devi

    Senario:
    Need to manage 500 Enterprise iPads
    Requirements;
    1) Trackable via Find my iOS device  (we have 500 iPads and with the 100 device limit per iCloud account for Find my iOS device limit we have 5+ iCloud accounts).
    2) Individually named iPads for locating and sending commands to wipe, lost mode, etc.. on map per Find my iOS device (we uniquely name them in Apple Configurator either by using the "sequensetially numbering feature", or by creating individual back ups (yes, 450) with the name specified in the image).
    3) Find my iOS device feature enabled in base Prepared or Supervised image (using one of our 5+ iCloud accounts) (image can be created during prepared stage, or in supervised stage) - tried both and have the same issue - which I am getting to...
    4) VPP codes for paid apps (all VPP codes purchased with generic account which is the Apple Admin account for VPP purchases). Apple Configurator is set up under a different/ unique Apple account (i.e. not VPP admin account) and not logged into iTunes for any purchases/ services).
    Issue: Can not do any following senarios;
    A)
         1) configure master iOS 7 iPad with iCloud account with Find my iOS feature enabled in Prepare stage (added during preparing stage)
         2) configure master iOS 7 iPad with iCloud account with Find my iOS feature enabled in Supervised stage (added after supervising, and then backing up that supervised and iOS Find my iOS device enabled)
    B) 1) Apply master image to any Supervised iPad (under senario step A) or senario step B)), including the (Supervised or/ Prepared iPad that was used to create the maset iOS 7 image
    Result = fail with Apple generic code "4" ; This is obviously due to Find my iOS device feature enabled during image capture.
    According to Apple (see Apple Config. Help) the 'Activation lock' (new feature in iOS 7) will not be enabled on a supervised device when an iCloud account with "Find my iDevice" is enabled. Their "help files" seem to imply after the device is Supervised, and a person (presumably and end user) adds thier own iCloud account with Find my iOS device enabled the activation lock is not enabled and erasing/ reconfiguring with Apple Configurator will not cause reimaging probhlems such as requiring the end user's credentials to reconfigure the device using Apple Configurator (i.e. you won't need the end user's credentials).
    Needed: To be able to configure Supervised iPads with iCloud account (Enterprised owned iCloud account) configured on the basse image, which has Find my iOS device enabled, and to be able to apply that base image to all Enterprise iPads without generic apple error code 4 issue.

    Hi all
    I am trying to replicate these steps in my environment but I am having trouble getting an iCloud backup restored to a supervised device. Can someone clarify the steps? The parts I am unsure on are:
    1) Do you Prepare in Configurator with all the institution owned apps? Or do you install them after restoring the iCloud backup?
    2) After entering the personal AppleID to restore the iCloud backup, the setup wizard prompts for the Institution/Configurator AppleID, there is an option to 'Skip Now'. Do you enter in the password for the institution account? or do you skip that step?
    3) What exactly is on the screen in the 'mini setup assistant' after the restore when you Refresh with Configurator?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  • Apple configurator and ios 6.1 cannot install config profile

    I'm using the Apple Configurator v1.2.1 to install my enterprise app into iPad 2's. First of all, I am unable to upgrade from iOS 6.0.1 to 6.1.2. It either fails or gets stuck and I have to "stop". My work around is to upgrade via the device (which is actually pretty fast). My big problem is that I am also installing provisioning and configuration profiles, which include files for the app. Every things seems to go ok, the app and all the data installs properly, so does the profisioning profile, until the end where the configurator tells me to "tap device to install profile" but the profile prompt never appears on the iPad. The iPad goes into setup as if it's a new iPad and the config profile nevers gets installed. I do get a warning saying it can't install the profile. I'm forced to update the configuration manually. I'm updating about a dozen each time, so it's starting to get tedious as well as error-prone. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    Use whatever method you wish to update iOS
    Go though,the setup as needed
    Then try apple Configurator to install your profiles
    From memory updating iOS with apple Configurator
    Causes the setup to run like a new device the same if you used iTunes to update
    As the complete OS is installed
    However it will only download iOS once, providing all your devices are the same
    Updating iOS on the device still has a setup but it's only for iCloud
    And you'd have to download the (smaller) update each time
    I would think it is the iOS update and setup that's causing your profiles etc
    to fail there maybe to much going on at the same time

  • Apple configurator with iOS7

    I'm having loads of problems with apple configurator since upgrading to iOS7. It hasn't reliably supervised or assigned ipads. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't! I can't assign pupils to devices and lots of the VPP codes I have purchased don't work.
    I have updated all the software I can.
    Is anyone else having problems or can give any solutions!!

    Hi jenny142,
    Unfortunately yes... many of us have been experiencing issues with iOS 7 and Apple Configurator 1.4. There are several other threads here discussing various issues. Hopefully some of the bugs will be fixed in a dot release of both iOS and AC.... hopefully soon!

  • How to connect apple tv with ios 8

    i am using iPhone 5S, recently update my IOS 7 to IOS 8. In IOS 7, was AirPlay option which is not visible in IOS 8. Please let me know how i can connect my Iphone 5S with Apple TV using IOS 8.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    The following article(s) may help you.
    Troubleshooting WiFi Networks
    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

  • Apple Configurator with two options - Shutdown, Restart

    Hello,
    I work with ipdas/iphones everyday, using apple configurator wih 30 devices connected to mac is amazing thing, but shutdown or restart them is a BIG problem and takes too much time. Is it possible to add Shutdown & Restart options to apple configurator? This will be very hapleful for eveyone. One more thing before I will celebrate Happy Friday, is it possible to extract info like: serial number & IMEI  from devices to cvs file?
    Thank you.

    Doesn't sound good if you've restore to factory from the diagnostics menus and are seeing this.
    Have you unplugged from the main for a few mins and restarted.  Disconnect any ethernet cables if you have them.

  • Apple Configurator with iPad Air

    I am using Apple configurator 1.5 to deploy iPad 2 with 4G and without and iPad Airs with 4G.
    I created backups of each model and I’m only having an issue with the iPad Airs. I get an  error “ unable to activate ”.  Apple configurator will update the devices to the newest OS and reset the iPads but it won’t apply any settings from the backup.

  • Apple configurator and ios 6

    I  have updated my ipods to iOS6 using Apple Configurator.  Now it won't put any apps back on the device.  They are supervised, but it wiped everything clean with the update.  How can I get it to take the profile and apps after the update?  All the ipods now act like a brand new device and don't have any profiles on them.  Even when I hit refresh in apple configurator it just says Device running newest software.

    You might want to try posting in the following two forums:
    - iPad in the Enterprise
    - iPhone in the Enterprise
    Since Enterprises use the iPhone Configuration Utility.

    Hi -- I've noticed once I upgraded my iphone and ipad to ios 8.2, I can no longer air print from these devices to my officejet 6600.  The screen comes up on the deivces, but when I choose the printer, it never connects.  Is there a way to allow printing from these devices?

    Hello @1mazin, 
    Welcome to the HP forums.
    I understand that you are having a problem sending  print jobs via Airprint, since upgrading to iOS 8.2.
    I would like to help.
    The first thing I would try is simple.
    Turn off the printer and the iOS devices.
    Unplug the power to your router for about a minute.
    Plug the power back into the router.
    Turn the printer and devices back on.
    Also, have you tried the HP ePrint app?
