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.

Passcode Lock prevents Apple Configurator from working

We have over 2,000 Supervised iPads in our district. We would like the students to Passcode Lock their iPads to deter other students from messing with the iPads.
Once the Passcode Lock is set, Apple Configurator no longer works :-(
Cannot Update/Install Apps
Cannot Remove/Install Profiles
Cannot Restore from Backup
etc
Must type in the Passcode and Supervise while logged in (which prevents us from closing the lid, plugging in the iPad into the Bretford carts). Once the lid is closed, the passcode lock is activated again. This is a ROYAL PAIN!
Also, if the teacher is not aware of what the student Passcode is, there is no way of updating the iPad. Multiply this by 2,000 and you can see how much of a pain this is.
Apple Configurator should be able to work with Supervised iOS devices that are passcode locked. It just makes sense. IF the iOS device is Supervised by Apple Configurator, the Passcode Lock should NOT prevent further management by Apple Configurator.
Apple, PLEASE FIX IT

How can I transfer music from my iphone to other non apple devices

How can I transfer music from my iphone to other non apple devices ?

If this is music purchased through the iTunes Music Store, you would need to transfer the music to your computer using iTunes then transfer to the non-apple device according to the manufacturer's instructions.

No you don't need to use AirPlay from the computer to AppleTV.
Just use the AppleTV as you would with wifi. Everything is controlled from the AppleTV.

Go to Settings, Safari, and then reset the Cookies, reset the Cache, and reset the History. Then turn the iPad off and on again.

why don't you post using full words, no abbreviations, and proper punctuation? Then perhaps your question will actually be legibile.

If you purchased Lion for your iMac, just log into the Mac App Store from your MacBook using the Apple ID under which you purchased Lion and go to the Purchases page. You will be able to download and install Lion there.
searching the internet i found a link to upgrtade to 10.7
The only place you get get Lion is from the Mac App Store. If you found some other site, that was an illegal copy and almost certainly tied to someone else's Apple ID and hence unusable by you. If the link was just to the Mac App Store, see above.
As to the problem with synchronization to iCloud, that's not a 10.6 question, so I'd suggest you take up that specific issue in either the Lion or iCloud forums, providing full details, and someone there can probably help you sort things out.

*Can ARD restrict students from using particular programs?

I am a new high school digital arts teacher running ARD 3 in my classroom and have trouble with students being distracted with the internet. Is there any way to restrict students from using Explorer and Safari temporarily (and still keep the network connection) so they can focus on their work and not on their social lives?
Is it possible? If not, any suggestions about what I should do or use?
Thanks! ___________________UPDATE:

Thankfully, I received the following sugesstion from a helpful user.
Can someone explain this in layman's terms?
I've never used UNIX but am willing to try.
"If you don't mind messing with the firewall settings of your clients, you could try something like this: send (as root) the unix command
ipfw add 2005 deny tcp from any to any 80 out xmit en0
This should stop any request being sent via port 80, the most common port for web servers. You might want to check that there is no rule already at 2005 by issuing a 'ipfw all' to get the list of rules in force. If there is, use a different number.
To reset the firewall, either reboot the clients (which loads the default firewall rules, without your changes) or send (as root)
ipfw delete 2005
(or whatever number you used. You could save these two commands as Saved Tasks to have them ready whenever you need them."
Clarity would be much appreciated. Thanks All!

Hello Elle,
I hear you. I'm a Graphic Communications teacher that had the very same problem. I solved it by getting rid of Explorer and turning on the parental controls in Safari within the 10.4 student permissions. Then I entered web sites into Safari that pertain to the subject of my class work. After about a week of student complaining the students accepted the fact their is no personal web surfing and now focus their attention on their work. And once again students that come into my classroom before and after school work on their projects instead of myspace.com, etc. Keep in mind the students still have access to the internet, but only to the web sites you setup.
Another way of doing it if you want to give student free time to surf the web is to setup two sets of permissions, if you are familar with this. One set gives students access to the browsers and the other does not. The permission file for controlling student access is located in /Library/Managed Preferences/in my case a folder named student/com.apple.applicationaccess.plist. Create two folders on your computer and put a copy of each preference file into them. Using Remote Desktop, logout from each of the student computers and then using the Copy Items command and Place items in: copy the permission file of your choice to: /Library/Managed Preferences/in my case a folder named student. When the students login they will be controlled by the permission file you just sent.
I'm also very good at altering system files that prevent students from tampering with the way I setup their computers. Let me know if I can assist you with other problems, or the above problem if you should have further questions.

Can't move emails from one account to another in native Mail app IOS 7.0.3

I can select an email and click on move, and MAIL looks like working (the animation seems to move the email to a different account folder) but indeed is not moving the email! This was working with the previous release of IOS
Mail works if I try to move email to a folder belonging to the same account.
I need to move email from my university account to my gmail to store it! And I can't create an alias in gmail because of my university (stupid) security policies.
Thank a lot for your help.

Hi Kobe Zhang
Option 1:
Your MSN account might be deleted but the eprintcenter wont be deleted along with it.
You should be still able to login to eprintcenter account using the old msn id and the same old password for eprintcenter account which you used regularly.
If you have forgot the password, i dont know how can you recover it.
If you get a chance to login then you can remove the printer from the old account and then claim it in your new account created usign hotmail ID.
If you are not worried about changing your printers email ID, here is option 2.
One more option is to de register the printer and register it again to cloud to get a new email address which can be used to claim the printer in your new account and then customize your email ID there. But be aware that you might not be able to set the same customised email ID which you have used in your old account.
Kind Regards,
Olilloyd

I want to buy a Beats Remotetalk replacement cable. I am in Australia and Apple Aus store does not them but the US store does - but doesn't ship to Aus. I can no longer buy from Beats as it redirects to Apple. How do I buy an authentic replacement?

I am in Australia and I want to buy a replacement RemoteTalk cable for my Beats headphones.
previously I could buy these from the Beats store and have them shipped to Australia. Now I can only buy them from the Apple Store.
However, they are only stocked on the Apple US store and not on the Apple Aus store.
The Apple US store does not ship to Australia.
So how do I get an authentic replacement cable?

Try amazon:
