Apple TV, Airplay, & iPads in our classrooms.

We have 70 Apple TV's, with names and passwords, on our campus.  Both teachers and students have iPads.  Since the iOS 8 updates we are having issues with the list of Apple TV's showing in the Airplay list.  It is also very difficult to find the correct Apple TV when the names are popping in and out of the list.  When we are lucky enough to catch the name in the list and select mirror the device will not stay mirrored for more than a few minutes (10).  Does anyone have a solution?
I'm one very frustrated Apple supporter!!

Thanks for you reply Rudegar.
Well, it is not a single 54mbit accesspoint  we are connecting to.
It's a 300mbit wireless network with over 150 access points, and all Apple TV's are connected by network cable. Of course we could chop this into smaller chunks, but it is not the problem we are facing now. I'm not talking perfomance or speed problems, the performance with iOS 7 devices is fine.
A connection by selecting the correct Apple TV would be nice for starters :-)

    I have a question about using multiple ipads in our school.  Each of our teachers have a iPad and AppleTV in their classroom.  The issue is, with our classrooms so close in proximity to one another, is there a way to pair teacher #1 iPad to its AppleTV without effecting/projecting onto the adjacent teachers #2 classroom AppleTV?

    Not as such.
    Give the AppleTV units unique names and also enable Airplay password in settings with unique passwords for each teacher.

  • We have three Ipads in our house.  We have one itunes account with multiple devices like two Iphones and Apple TV.   My question is about our three Ipads.   How can I set up the imessaging and facetime on all three devices while only using one Itunes acct

    Okay.  We have three Ipads in our house with only one Itunes account.   When I go into imessaging and facetime on each of the devices, it wants to start switching my wife's cell phone and then the three emails associated with each Ipad to the contact information for all of the Ipads.    As of this morning, only the imessaging and facetime are turned on my wife's iphone and ipad.   My kids imessaging and facetime is turned off.     Do you really have to have an itunes account for each device to make then work???    Any help would be very much appreciated.

    There is only one solution. Each user must have their own separate user account. All of their respective data would be contained in their separate user accounts. This also means each will have a separate iTunes Library. If you all use the same third-party apps, then each will have to purchase their own copies under their own Apple IDs. Some data sharing is possible. See:
    iTunes- How to open an alternate iTunes Library file or create a new one

    You should be able to accept this message, it will cause existing music, photos (not camera roll) and videos (also excluding those in camera roll) to be removed and replaced with those from this computer. All other user data on the iPad will be unaffected.

  • My teenage daughter and i share an apple id on both of our iphones.  she now has an ipad with a her own apple id.  How can we change the apple id on her phoneand not loose any contacts or songs?

    My teenage daughter and i share an apple id on both of our iphones (2 phones both are 5s) .  She now has an ipad with a her own apple id.  How can we change the apple id on her phone so that is the same as the ipad and not loose any contacts or songs?

    Did you take a look at the new feature Apple - iOS 8 - Family Sharing ?
    Apple - iCloud - Family Sharing
    Up to now, songs bought from iTunes could only be played by the Apple ID that has been used to buy them.
    If you set up Family Sharing, your daughter can also play your songs and use the same contact info as before.
    If you don't want to do that, sync the contact info to the address book on your computer, and sync the info back, using iTunes:
    Sync your iPhone, iPad and iPod with iTunes using USB
    If the iPad already has her Apple ID and contact info on it, restore the phone from the latest iPad backup.

  • Apple iPads for our Corporation

    Hello,
    We want to give out iPads to our employees. But we want to configure the iPads the way we want it. We already saw you had the MDM, first of all I want to notice that we have an custom made App which is NOT located in the Application store, is it still possible to add this app through iTunes (Like we used to do) and then Sync it with other devices?
    Is it possible to open MDM with Windows? If not are there any alternatives? Because we are a Dutch country, there is no App called MDM, do we need the Apple Configurator?
    We need around 25 iPads, 5 for every location. Do we need 5 different iTunes account, or can we just use a single one?
    As you can see we still have many questions, we would appreciate if someone can answer them!
    Thank you in advance!
    Rick

    Hi Rick,
    Yes, you can install custom apps via most mobile device management (MDM) services. There are dozens of MDMs available. Here's a good list of MDMs: http://www.enterpriseios.com/wiki/Comparison_MDM_Providers
    Many MDMs are web based that work on a number of platforms (Mac, Windows, iOS, Android, Chrome OS, etc). I think you will find many that will work with Windows.
    Apple Configurator is a good iPad management tool, but doesn't offer the flexibility of OTA management (that's where MDM comes in).
    Regarding Apple IDs… legally, if 25 iPads are used by 25 different people you will need 25 individual Apple IDs. In your scenario, you can't legally use 1 account (unless you are using Apple Configurator).
    For multiple users like in schools or businesses you need to use VPP to purchase multiple licenses (can't share one Apple ID for 10 devices used by 10 employees). http://www.apple.com/business/vpp/
    APP STORE PRODUCT USAGE RULES
    ( i )If you are an individual acting in your personal capacity, you may download and sync an App Store Product for personal, noncommercial use on any iOS Device you own or control.
    ( ii ) If you are a commercial enterprise or educational institution, you may download and sync an App Store Product for use by either (a) a single individual on one or more iOS Devices used by that individual that you own or control or (b) multiple individuals, on a single shared iOS Device you own or control. For example, a single employee may use an App Store Product on both the employee's iPhone and iPad, or multiple students may serially use an App Store Product on a single iPad located at a resource center or library. For the sake of clarity, each iOS Device used serially by multiple users requires a separate license.
    If you are an educational institution or business you will want to enroll in Apple's Volume Purchase Program (VPP) which allows a single Apple ID to purchase multiple licenses of an app. Most developers will offer a 50% discount on their app when 20 or more VPP licenses are purchased in a single transaction.
    With Apple Configurator you can distribute the VPP codes to your fleet of iPads. Apple Configurator uses a single Apple ID to install apps on your iPads. Configurator will also allow you to install free apps on multiple iPads using a single Apple ID.
    There are a few things I recommend you read to get started:
    iOS Enterprise Deployment Overview
    Deploying iPhone and iPad
    Apple Configurator Help
    Hope this helps!!

  • HT5622 my wife and I have separate apple ID acts so that we could register our iPhones and iPads under our own names.  Can I have my iMac synch iCloud with both apple ID's so that both our calendars end up on our iMac?

    my wife and I have separate apple ID acts so that we could register our iPhones and iPads under our own names.  Can I have my iMac synch iCloud with both apple ID's so that both our calendars end up on our iMac?

    If have separate iCloud accounts and want to keep your all your iCloud data separate, you can create separate user accounts for each of you, then sign into your individual iCloud account within your user account.
    If you want to just add both iCloud calendars on your Mac, you can sign into one iCloud account in System Preferences>iCloud, then add the second account in System Preferences>Internet Accounts>iCloud and only check Calendars with this second account.

    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.

  • I'm about to purchase Lion.  My husband and I each have a desktop, iPad and iPhone.  We currently use one Apple ID for iPad/phone purchases.  Can we purchase 2 copies of Lion with one Apple ID?

    I'm about to purchase Lion.  My husband and I each have a desktop, iPad and iPhone.  We currently use one Apple ID for iPad/phone purchases.  Can we purchase 2 copies of Lion with one Apple ID or do we have to use different Apple IDs for the purchase?  If we use the different Apple IDs can we still use the same ID for all of our purchases.

    And just in case you were wondering, installing one purchased copy on all the Macs you own is specifically called out as allowed in the Mac OS X Lion license.
    If you do not want to download multiple times, just copy the Applications -> Install Lion app to a safe place BEFORE you do the first install.  Then copy that copy to any Mac you own where you want to install Lion.

    Gather up the proof that the dealership is the original purchaser of the iPad,
    and take the iPad & that proof to a physical Apple store for possible assistance.
    It is highly suggested that you make a genius bar appointment to avoid delay
    at the store:

    If no Apple store close by, get the information mentioned above and contact
    Apple Contact Us for assistance.
    Once the problem is resolved, you may wish it use Guided Access to limit
    what customers can do with the iPad.

    We have 30 ipads at our school and it is great.  We are about 850 student on my school and everyone are using the ipads. One hour at the time. (we have a booking system.)
    I teach music and are using Garageband. I need to find away were my students that are working on a project can export the files and save them somewhere, so when they 7 days later open Garage band can import there song with all the correct  midi-tracks. When I export the song to Icloud the song become an Mp4 file (I think).  And I can import the files via Icloude.
    This is because too many times the song has been sabotages during the week
    Dan Sweden

    Dan,
    your students could store their projects in iCloud, only you would continously have to change the AppleIDs of the iPads, so each student could store the songs with their own AppleID.  I don't think this will be feasable.
    The other possibility would be to share the projects to iTunes and to download them to iTunes  on a Mac at the end of each lesson. Does your school have Macs? This will not work with PCs.
    See this link:  GarageBand for iPad: Get answers fast http://help.apple.com/garageband/ipad/1.2/index.html#chsec12c387
    Look at the section "Share GarageBand songs",
