Apple ID for Business
Hi all,
Our company had 50 ipads mini. Can we enroll 50 ipads with 1 apple id? As far as i know, only 10 devices can enroll with 1 apple id. Is the same valid for business purposes as well? Thanks...

We wanna roll-out 130 Iphones and 130 Ipads in our company, and there is one open point.
Normally we use one Apple-ID for every Device, so we are saving the registration/administration of 130 Apple-IDs. We have the control of downloaded apps. Not every user has a credit-card or company credit card.
But what´s not so smart to this solution?
Facetime and imessage isn´t working with this, because the classification will change with every new Device. With installing of a new device, apple sent Messages, that a new number/email was added to this account to some device.
What can we do? We wanna use facetime and imessage?
Thanks in advanced for your help

Educational institutions in the USA can use the App Store Volume Purchase Program (VPP) to buy Apps.

There are three ownership models:
* Personal
* Institution
* Layered. combines personal & institution.
Watch this apple video on layered ownership. It education based, but that's OK.

Apple ID for business, one device for multiple users
My workplace has purchased 3 iPads for staff use on 3 departments, each department has multiple employees each will require use of the device.
We'd like to avoid one staff member signing in with their personal Apple ID as the device will then be passed to a different team member and therefore to access apps would need the password from the Apple ID user.
We'd like control over what ID is used, what apps are installed and how the device is used.
Is there a business option for corporate Apple ID? If not, what is the best solution for this scenario?3 iPads for staff use on 3 departments
It would be a lot of work to do it the official way. Best to read the riot act to the employees. Assign one person in each department to administer the device. Set them up with an apple id. Set activation lock to apple id.
Now if you want to learn the business way...

Need to setup apple id for business account
I want to create my business account with MAC.
But my company is not listed there so i am not able to complete sign up process.
So can any1 please guide me how can i achieve it?Go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the changed ID. This will delete the account and any data you are syncing with iCloud from your device, but not from iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account, your iCloud data will be synced back to your device when you sign back in.
If, however, you are changing to a new account with a new ID (rather than just a renamed ID), choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted. Then choose Merge to upload your data to the new account when you sign back in.
Before deleting the account, save your photo stream photos to your camera roll by tapping Edit, tap all the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll. -
I am trying to set up a shared calendar for business use. As we all use MAC it has been suggested that iCal could support this.
However, I am struggling to set this up.
Firstly, if I add any calendars to my existing set, it seems that any appointments or reminders are automatically shared. I don't think my colleagues need to know that the bins need putting out!
Ideally I would like to use a different Apple ID for business from personal. I cannot see that it is possible to have more than one Apple ID assigned to an iMAC.
Once you have set up a calendar, how do you go about sharing it with others on different IDs?
I cannot find anything to guide me on how to set this up or even whether it is possible. If anyone has any advice, I would be extremely grateful.
Many thanksYou can share an individual calendar using iCloud. If the others need to write to it they will need their own iCloud accounts. The method is described on this and the subsequent pages:
http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a8694
If you want to do this on another Apple ID/iCloud account (though there isn't really any need) you can add a second iCloud account in System Preferences>Mail, Contacts & Calendars. The account will appear in the list in iCal under the new ID and you can add calendars to it.
You might like to look at BusyCal ($49.99) - it is similar to iCal but with extra facilities. (I have no connection with this firm.)
As it's for business purposes you should note that iCloud is positioned for personal use and although you can do what you suggest, there is minimal support. A possible alternative is Fruux which provides syncing using their own servers and has a service for Team use at €20 per month and proper support (I have no connection with this firm either). -
Hi,
Can someone help me to set up a custom footer on my iMac. Currently using home/student 2010 and it does not offer a custom option. Will I need to purchase Microsoft business or would I be wasting my money. I went to the apple store for guidance and they informed me they could not help me with the microsoft products. To my surprise although apple has a version of microsoft, it is not a full version. I did not purchase the apple word, excel, powerpoint and such to avoid problems sending letters and such to pc users. Does anyone have advice or experience enough to let me know what issues may arise out of either choice.Microsoft Office 2010 is out of date. You need to buy Office 2011.

This one is used in Windows laptop, and I want it support AirPlay service, but Apple doesn't publish the AirPlay protocol.
Many thanks.Create a developer account, then access he developers forums and see if you can find the information that way
The other option would be to simply contact Apple directly. -

Does Apple have any good way of managing iPhones for business?
I finally broke down and allowed iPhones into our company when Apple introduced the ability to provision phones like phones (e.g. don't have to teather them to a computer to set up). This and the "business" management tools opened the door, so we got about 30 of them.
WHAT A HUGE MISTAKE!!!!
Apple is now going backward. When a phone comes into our shop, we have to load up iTunes and get the phone to sync before we can do simple things like wipe the phone or troubleshoot "why did my bluetooth quit working". All of their "enterprise focus" seems to be around security and app control, with nothing I've seen for the day-to-day keeping things running. (Not saying app control and secuirty are unimportant, just not enough).
Does Apple have any good business management tools that I'm missing? I know about MDM, but too much setup for a relatively small number of phones. Besides, my understanding is the MDM only does app management / security policy. Right now we use Apple's stand-alone configurator. Fine for pushing policy and apps, but useless for troubleshooting and day-to-day management (like resetting a phone back to factory configs).
Also, is my carrior correct that Apple will not allow them to replace phones that have gone bad under warranty? They told me for the iPhones we have to physically take them to an Apple store for troubleshooting / replacement even after 100% identifying the issue! That is an hour (at least) wasted to send one of my folks to the store. I know we don't just have a bad carrior, becaue they happily send out replacement on other brands after troubleshooting over the phone.
I actually do like the overall look/feel of the iPhones. But unless Apple becomes much more corporate-friendly, I can only recommend that companies refuse to purchase any iDevice. BYOD, sure...but when you buy tens or hundreds of phones stick to Android, Blackberry, or even (sorry) Microsoft based devices.Does not seem to work that way for us. We plug the phone in, and the first thing iTunes does is say the phone needs to be "authorized for this computer". It also states that the phone can only be authorized for x computers.
It then goes through it's jig while we wait, and finally comes up with the phone. Only then can we try to wipe / update the phone. We do stop the sync process, that automatically starts wanting to run. Maybe has to do with a version difference between what you use and what we use. I did notice that an older version of iTunes seemed a bit friendlier, but would not support our iPads.
However, when we were troubleshooting the bug where wireless / bluetooth quits working it was quite a bit more difficult than this for a phone a user handed us. Troubleshooting steps required that the phone be "restored" in iTunes. However, iTunes insisted on our providing a password that neither we nor the user knew. Maybe just learning curve, but it took about an hour before we were able to get that phone to a point where we could reset it.
Here is a sincere question for you, since you say you support a fleet of phones. Do you really NOT get annoyed when your tech has to take a iPhone to a computer with iTunes, plug it in, and work from there whenever there is a user issue that needs to have the phone wiped back to factory standard? This compared to being able to punch a few buttons on a different phone, right there in the users office, then hand it back to the user and say "your are fixed".
My only assumptions are that IT staff want to solve issues as quickly and efficiently as possible. Requireing a tech to deal with iTunes for simple procedures is not, IMHO, "as quick and efficient as possible". -
Hi,
I am trying to create a set of Apple IDs for my employer, who would like to bring iPads into the school. The problem I am always having is that everytime i fill in the registration form for the Apple ID, I get a message saying 'an unknown error has occured!' which happens everytime. I am assuming that using internal email address will work as outlook/hotmail and gmail etc do.
Any ideas and opinions will be grately appreciated :-)
ThanksThe email address you use as an Apple ID needs to be verified and must be available to the outside world. If by 'internal email address' you mean one which is only available to the local network this won't work.

Can we creat an Apple ID for multiple users?
I work for a company where we are rolling out iPads in big amounts. The problem is that they all need an Apple ID in the training they get about the iPad they receive because they have to install MobiControl on it.
It's no problem to let them create an Apple ID at home, but they have to fill in credit card numbers once they connect at work when they try to install apps. That's the problem... Not everyone want's or has credit cards...
Maybe it's possible to create an Apple ID for multiple users???
Thanks!iPad in Business and Education
You may find a better answer in this part of the forum, since it's meant for situations like you're in.
http://www.apple.com/support/appleid/
is also info about apple ID's.
You can make apple ID's without a credit card, you just have to jump through a couple of hoops to do it since the default is that people will always give a credit card. The key to making an ID without a credit card is that you try to download a free app first, then follow the 'make an ID' prompt. That will get you the 'none' option for payment. -
OneDrive for business App- On premises installation (Sharepoint 2013)
Hi,
Just needed clarification regarding One Drive for Business application on iPhone/iPad.
When I connect to internal corporate network, the application works fine. However when I go on external network, it gives an error that 'You are logged in but we can't access your settings'. Is there something I am missing? Same with One Drive for business
application for laptop.
It also works fine when I connect my iPhone/laptop on VPN.
We are using SharePoint 2013 (on premises installation). Do I need to get some subscription for business in order to get the app working over the internet? I know we need Office365 or sharepoint online in order to get the app working but it works fine when
I am connected to internal network or VPN.
We do have a public IP and URL for One Drive which works fine on any browser from external internet. So the problem is only limited to the application on Apple and Laptop (windows). We are using TMG.
Any info would be appreciated!
ThanksHi aso,
You may want to check the authentication types for SharePoint on-premise site internal and internet access, some authentication types are not supported, you can check if it is the case.

iPad minis donated to a classroom. Teachers are trying to set up several iPads using the same apple id, but the apps will not load on any but the first iPad set up. What to do?
Can you assign existing devices to a DEP account? When DEP came out, you could not.

What is best way to set up apple id for family?
We have 4 people in same family with Apple devices- 4 ipods and iphone. We currently all share same apple id for purchasing and sharing songs and apps. However when we sync we get each others contacts (i use mine for my business so my kids now have all my contacts on there phone and vice versa). Now my duaghter is getting my texts that should be going to my phone on her ipod. I dont know what she did or why this is happening other than she did something to her ipod messaging in settings. How do we create separate id's for each for everything except purchases for each family member and still use common for purchases?
JamieiCloud has nothing to do with your iTunes or App store accoutns.
All Apple services use AppleIDs as the account login credentials. So any service or services that you set up using the same AppleID will be on a common account.
To set your kids up with their own Game Center accounts, they do not need iCloud at all. What they need are their own, unique AppleIDs to use when logging in to Game Center.
1. Separate AppleIDs = separate Game Center Accounts. iCloud has nothing to do with it.
2. yes, when the log in with new AppleIDs they will be starting over from scratch. Game center accounts are tied to an AppleID, so if you change the AppleID you change the Game Center account (no way around that for any Apple Service).
3. Again, your iTunes & App Store accounts are tied to an AppleID, nothing whatsoever to do with iCloud. As long as you all keep using the same AppleID for the stores, then you will continue to share all purchased content as it will all have been purchased with the same account (= the same AppleID).
4. iCloud is an email and online storeage service from Apple. When you create an iCloud account, it is tied to the AppleID in use at the time you create the account. So, if you wish to keep your email, and your sync'd content separate from others, then you should create an iCloud account with an AppleID that only you use.
Same thing goes for iMessage. If you all create iMessage accounts with the same AppleID, you will all be sharing the exact same messaging account.
You can have as many AppleIDs as you wish (or have email addresses for), and you can use a different one for every single Apple service offered, if you wished to. In your case, it sounds like you want to all share one AppleID for the iTunes & App store, but create separate AppleID(s) for things you wish to keep private, like Game Center, iCloud and iMessage.
