Can I stop my users resetting their iPad?

Hi All,
Im an IT administrator and Im looking at rolling out 500+ iPads into our corportate environment. Is there a way I can prevent my users from resetting their iPad back to factory settings thru the SETTINGS icon > reset. Ideally I would like to password protect the SETTINGS icon/section. What are my chances? Can this type of stuff be written as an app? Cheers

Obviously, you live in the Windows world. Seriously, don't worry about it. Even if they do so, it's kind of easy to restore. Just tell them not to do it. Most people are pretty mature about these things. And yes, I know what I'm talking about, I ran a company where we gave out Tablet PC's to sales reps to take orders. No one messed them up.

Will I lose my VPP apps if a student resets their iPad?

I'm going to be setting up some iPads as supervised with apple configurator... and deploy some VPP apps onto the iPads.
I can't seem to find a way to prevent users from resetting all settings on an iPad.. so what happens if a student resets the iPad that has a paid VPP app on it? Is that license gone forever?
The kids are kids... so you know they are going to reset their iPad at some point. Especially the ones in highschool.

If you reconnect a supervised device which has been reset, Configurator will restore it to the configuration you originally specified, including reinstalling apps, so the code is not lost. You can easily see this behavior by supervising and configuring a device, then doing Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings, then reconnecting the device to the Mac which supervised it. Actually, if you leave the device connected the entire time, Configurator will probably restore the configuration as soon as the device reboots after the Erase All Content and Settings. If you want to replicate the student example you outline, just disconnect the device before that step.

OD users resetting their own passwords

Looking for a mechanism whereby OD users can reset their own passwords--specifically users without workstation access.
I am deploying a lot of blog/wiki services to clients. Am finding that I have to generate random passwords for them--would rather push them a temp pw & let them reset on first wiki login, as I can with workstation users.
Any help appreciated.

And you can set the password lifetime and reset and character-content policies in Server Admin > Open Directory > Policies > Passwords, if you've not already found that set of knobs.
I'd also suggest looking to two-factor or certificate-based approaches, if you're having requirements around password resets.

I'm having trouble with downloads of Aps. I have several that have frozen during the download. I can't delete them and resetting my iPad or trying the airplane mode has not helped. Any ideas?

I'm having trouble downloading Aps on my iPad . I have several that have frozen during downloading and I can't delete them. I've tried resetting my iPad, airplane mode and going through iTunes and Aps store, nothing has helped. Any ideas?

I'm having a similar problem, but different circumstances. Someone gave me their iPod nano to load with tunes. I, myself, don't own an iPod, and the flimsy booklet that came with this device is pointless -- no real info. Anyway, once it was charged, I chose tunes from my library to upload to the iPod, but the entire library began to load (not just the checked selections). I made several attempts to resolve this, including an attempt to restore the iPod to its original settings. Unfortunately, now the computer and iTunes will not recognize this iPod (when iTunes is open and iPod is connected, iPod does not appear in source list, and desktop only reads the device as "iPod", as opposed to what it was originally reading it as) and I can't even get back to the part of iTunes that asks me if I want to restore the iPod. Do I have to bring this to an Apple store, or is there anyone out there who can tell me how to resolve this? I tried the "5 R's" recommended by Apple, but they don't seem to work.

Can you have multiple users for your ipad

can you have multiple users on your iPad

We do. We each sign in our out with our own Apple ID's and we can share the same iPad that way.

I started a download of a Movie to rent on my iPad using a mobile hotspot. The HD version is taking longer to load than I have time. Can I stop the download to the iPad and rather downdoad a standard version to my Windows Vista machine?

How can I stop a download of a Movie for rent in HD to my iPad? There isn't enough time to download it. I shall have to download to my PC and probably the standard version and then sync the iPad.

I think your best bet here is to contact the app developer. Sounds like you need advanced troubleshooting that someone who is a part of the app would know best how to resolve. Best of luck.

HT5622 How can I change the user of the IPad??

Any body knows how to change the user of the IPad 1

Sure. Erase the old user's information by doing:
Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings
Then the new user will set up the iPad as if it just came out of the box.

Is there a way to assign 2 users to 1 iPad?

You can have more than one mail account, but that's pretty much it.

How can I stop authenticated users from getting other user's information?

We recently discovered that it is possible for authenticated users, via KMu2019s details view, to view details about the other users that have access to the same resource as you. Our portal (7.0 sp15) is used for an external facing web site. We have secured it against anonymous users but the problem still remains for authenticated users. Here is an example:
The KM folder documents\Public Documents has been assigned read permissions for the group Everyone. An authenticated user can open the URL https://<host>/irj/go/km/navigation/documents/Public%20Documents and a list of folders are shown. The user can then select the Details from the menu for one of the folders and the Details iview is displayed. They then select the menu item Settings > Permissions and the users/groups/roles assigned to this folder are shown. The user can then select a user and view that users name and email address or the user could select a group and view for each member of the group the user id, name, and email address which could then be used to help attack the site.
So I thought it would be easy enough to disable the details view for all users but content managers or administrators but I seem to running into difficulty.
I tried disabling the Details KM command with limited success. Even with it disabled, if you know the URL for the details component you can still access it. So it seems the better option is to take away access to the details component. It seems that the users are getting access to the Details iView from the standard eu_role. If I remove the iView from this role then all user have no access to the Details in KM. I tried to add the iView to another role that content managers would have but when logged in with a user that had that other role I still was not able to access the Details iView.
This SAP Help document [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/47/f0f7415e639c39e10000000a155106/frameset.htm |http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/47/f0f7415e639c39e10000000a155106/frameset.htm ]discusses the eu_role(Standard User role) and it states that
By default, the Everyone group is assigned to the Standard User role. If you choose to use the other every user roles instead, you need to remove these assignments from the Standard User role and apply them to the Every User Core and Control Center User roles.
But, when I look at what groups the role is assigned to or what roles are assigned to the Everyone group they donu2019t appear to be linked contrary to what the documentation says. So, what Iu2019m thinking here is that I can create a copy of this role and remove the Details iView from the original and then assign the copy to the content managers and administrators. Doing this causes all users to lose access, even the content managers.
I thought Iu2019d give the Security Zones a try to see if this could help me but when I take away rights from here it still allows access.
Iu2019m stumped. Iu2019m sure there is some key piece that eludes me. What can I do to allow users read only access to some KM folders and files while preventing them from viewing the permission/user details?

The only 3d party apps are Hazel...
And that's your problem!
From the Hazel site's description:
Hazel watches whatever folders you tell it to, automatically organizing your files according to the rules you create.
Hazel, is a prefPane so you must have some rule (or it supplied the rule as a default) to put pictures (jpg's) from your Desktop (folder) into your Pictures folder.
Open your System Preferences and Hazel in there and either turn off Hazel or change or delete the appropriate rule covering this situation.

How can i stop iPhone users from seeing my picture and home address and email on their phones? it just pops up. please help this stop.

My boyfriend has the iPhone 6 (regular not plus) and my information such as email home address and a picture i took in photo booth on my laptop a few years ago is what what pops up on his phone? he has me stored under a different picture and name but when he got the iPhone 6 this other pic and all my info popped up when i called him? how is this so? can others see my information too? how can i make this stop? i do not want other to have access to that info.

See, that's just the thing...it isn't checked. It never was.
It just keeps restoring the home page bookmarks for Safari, nothing more. I just downloaded an update for the NYTimes app, and it made my bookmarks reappear on the home screen again, so the only thing I can assume is that these are somehow linked to my Apple account...only question is, why?

How do you stop Activesync users changing their profile picture?

We are in the process of migrating from Exchange 2007 to 2013. In 2007 nobody had the ability to change their profile picture (seen in Outlook and in our online phonebook). However, it would appear that users already migrated to 2013 who have a iOS
device connected via ActiveSync can now use the OWA for iPhone mail client on their mobile to change their profile picture.
We do not want users to have this ability, we have already seen some inappropriate images appear and need to stop this. How can I restrict it?

Hi GADavies,
Great information from Off2work, please try it. If there is anything problem, feel free to update.

HT204053 Can multiple apple ID users share the iPad easily?

Hi, just purchased the new IPad for me and my partner to share, we both have apple ID's and assumed we could easily access emails etc. Does anyone know how we can both get equal share of the device? Cannot find a way to swap between ID's except in music when warnings indicate that another user would not be able to use iPad for 90 days, hence we did not continue. Are they really only designed for single person usage?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
The iPad is more of a personal device than a family device, you may however be interested in adding secondary iCloud accounts (settings > mail, contacts, calendars)
You can only have one primary account but multiple secondary accounts, secondary accounts cannot use photostream or document sharing.
