Can't import spreadsheet in Apple Configurator

I just bought codes for an app in the VPP Store and proceeded to try to import the spreadsheet into Apple Configurator and this is the error that appears:
"There was a problem importing the redemption codes. The file “Preview.html” couldn’t be opened because there is no such file."
Several weeks ago, I did successfully import a spreadsheet, but even that one wouldn't  re-import.  I'm running 10.7.5 and Apple Configurator version 1.2.1.

After weeks of e-mails and calls back and forth with Apple, my problem was solved.  Below is the message that gave me the solution.  I don't know if my problem was isolated or if this may apply to anyone else having the problem.
"Okay so basically here is the issue
there is a folder at the root level named tmp but there shouldn't be.  We need to remove that folder and create the folder where it should be
Remove the /tmp folder.
Note: please make sure this command is typed out exactly the way you see it below, without the $
$ sudo rm -R /tmp
2. Create the new symbolic link.
$ sudo ln -s private/tmp /tmp
Do those 2 steps and if the issue isn't solved then call me or email me back. Those commands are case sensitive and very sensitive to mistake.  So please make sure they are EXACT.  If you have any questions call or email before running the commands."

  • Why I can't import iMovie into Apple Configurator without asking me for more codes. If iMovie is free, and I upgraded the latest version and to Yosemite.

    Previously, our school bought a number of codes for iMovie. One of our MacAirs that supervises some iPads through Apple Configurator showed that it was free. However, another Mac Air did not saying that I needed to import more codes. I upgraded everything, software, iMovie in iTunes, and Apple Configurator. Everytime I upload iMovie into Configurator it shows I only have 2 codes, while on the other MacAir, it shows it as free.

    Can I import photos from iPhoto ('08; 7.1.5) into latest version of Aperture without upgrading my iPhoto to the iPhoto '11 version?
    To elaborate a bit on TD's answer:
    You can import only folders of images or selected image files that have been exported from older iPhoto libraries, not the libraries themself.
    Aperture 3.4.5 cannot work with iPhoto Libraries that have not been upgraded to iPhoto 9.4. or later at all:
    You cannot open them in Aperture:
    And you cannot import them as a library to create an Aperture library from the older iPhoto Library.
    Without upgrading to iPhoto '11 your only option would be to export your original images and the edited versions from iPhoto '08 and to import the folders of images into Aperture. That would be a lot of work, a waste of disk space, and break the lossless workflow.  You will clutter your Aperture library with duplicates (version and edite image) that are no proper original-version pairs.
    For a smooth transit from iPhoto to Aperture I strongly recommend to bite the bullet and to upgrade to iPhoto '11  to upgrade your iPhoto libraries to the new version 9.4.3 to preserve all the previous work - albums, books, ratings - you have done in iPhoto.

    Just spoke with Cisco about the router.  They said the router is compatible with the E1500.  They suggested that I contact Apple to see if their default IP address was that same as the router (192.168.1.1).  They told me I would have to change it if that was the case.  How would I do that?

  • Can't import Excel spreasheet into configurator.

    I just updated to Apple Configurator 1.4  and OS X 10.8.5 and I can't seem to upload my VPP codes.  When I click to add the codes, the spreadsheet is greyed out and I can't click on it to import it into configurator.  I have also tried resaving the .xlsx file to an .xls file (this has worked for me in the past), but it didn't seem to matter.  I have also tried restarting, with the same result.  I am probably missing a simple step, but I am stumped.  Any advice or solutions?  

    What a  frustrating experience.  I finally figured it out but it seems very buggy.
    I could not see any of the fields for mapping in MS-Project because the worksheet name in Excel I was using had a space in it (what is this Windows 3.1?). 
    I actually ended up using the same format for the name as what is generated from the MS-Project export "Tasks_Table1".
    The next issue I had is I could not get predecessors to work. 
    The problem there was the cell number format.  Although it was set to General, which was the same as the format generated by the MS-Project exported excel file, I had to set the format to text for this to work.
    Seems to work OK now...

  • Can't import spreadsheet

    Hi there,
    when I try to import a spreadsheet in CX 2008 engage SP1 (or w/o SP1), I get the following message:
    in german: 'Der server ist ausgelastet, da die andere Anwendung aktiv ist...'. Whatever I try, I can't import my spreadsheet.
    I tried with excel 2003 and 2007. CX with an without SP1 an that all on  Vista 32 and 64 bit. Always the same.
    The only thing I figured out is, that 2 processes are started when trying to import. But ending up one of the processes doesn't solve the problem.
    Perhaps anyone can help.
    Regards,
    Bob

    Hi Ulrich,
    thanks for your reply. After  installing CX once again, it worked. But now it doesn't open some .xlf files anymore :-((

  • I can only import HDV with Apple Intermediate Codec!!!!

    Hello,
    I want to get to the bottom of this. I have HDV film shot on a DV tape. I cannot import this HDV footage, it appears to be importing, but the moment I hit "escape" to stop capture, I realize nothing was actually importing. I usually end up with a second of captured footage, ironically, it's of the second that I stopped capture on. So I capture my last second.
    Of course, if I change my setting to Apple Intermediate Codec, it works fine.
    I'm using Final Cut Pro 5 on a G5 that hasn't been online in a while. Maybe I just need some 'updates?"
    Or is this a Final Cut Pro 5 issue since it came out when HDV was relatively new on the scene?
    Should I upgrade to Final Cut Pro 6, cut that make importing HDV easier for me?
    This footage I don't mind converting to Intermediate Codec, but in the future I'd like to not have to do this.
    Anyone know what causes this?
    Thanks!

    You should be able to do it fine in 5.0 as well as 5.1.
    I have been capturing HDV since August of 2006, long before FCP 6. Make sure you use a camera that is supported, for HDV is not a standard the way DV is. It is MPEG 2 out of the box. So when you capture you are in for a bit of a ride editing HDV on FCP 5. It can be done, but you are better to take a page from Shane's book and capture to DVCPro HD instead. It takes up much more space, but you will have no headache editing and outputting later.
    Hope this helps.

  • Apple Configurator - can we move VPP license?

    We purchase using VPP for 73 iPads.  Importing the 73 licenses went OK but we need to move 33 to another Mac that will control the 33 iPads.  Is there a way to do this?
    Basicallly we initially set up the 73 iPads on one Mac.  Everything went well and all iPads are working as they should.  Now that everything is set up we wanted to move 33 to a Bretford cart that can house the 33.  Apple Configurator was installed on the 2nd Mac, all apps imported via iTunes (Mac is authorized) but we can't import the VPP licenses that were originally installed on the 1st Mac.
    Any way to move them?

    "For supervised devices, if you use Apple Configurator to remove an app from a device, Apple Configurator marks the corresponding redemption code as available. It can be reassigned to a different device supervised by this copy of Apple Configurator for this Mac only. It is not available for redemption by other Macs or iOS devices"
    You may be able get a workaround via apple enterprise support.

  • Apple Configurator Redemtion Codes Spreadsheet format

    I need to supply a spreadsheet for Apple Configurator with redemtion codes to a customer. The customer lives in a non-VPP country and is not able to use VPP to buy the licenses.
    Where can I find a description of the spreadsheet format used by Apple Configurator in order to generate the spreadsheet my self?
    A sample file would also be great.

    I've got support from Apple Germany. It seems to be a problem of version 1.1.2 of Apple Configurator and Mountain Lion 10.8.2
    As mentioned above I had the same problem using 10.7.4 and 10.7.5 and Configurator 1.1.2. Apple Germany sent me a different spreadsheet, where I've put my codes in and it worked. Strange but true.
    Other story, I bought 50 redeem codes, after installing 22 iPads it stopped, telling me that there are no more redeem codes left ?
    Good luck contacting Apple directly

  • Apple Configurator Buy App Problem

    I working in Hong Kong School, Our School have over 150 ipad, I used the apple configurator to synchronous all of ipad free App,
    Now, Our School want to buy some App to user, I see your apple support communities need Using Volume Purchase Program (VPP) Redemption Codes to buy the App. But the Education VPP Program Manager Enrollment can not select my country Hong Kong, How can I use the VPP to buy App?
    Thank your help

    Basically, you go to the Apple Volume Purchase Program for Education Store and find the app you want. You select an app and how many copies you want…lets say 20 copies. You then download an Excel spreadsheet that includes 20 VPP Redemption Codes. You take this Excel file and import it into Apple Configurator. As you install the app using Apple Configurator, it keeps track of how many codes you've used. After you've installed it on 20 iPads, you will no longer be able to install the app on additional iPads unless you purchase more VPP codes.
    See the info on VPP starting on page 22 of this PDF:
    http://images.apple.com/education/docs/ios_6_education_deployment_guide.pdf
    Here's how to use Apple Configurator to deploy paid apps using VPP codes:

  • Apple Configurator Question

    I have accidentally deleted the app in AC which contain VPP codes, and after I reimported the app back to AC, it seems that I can no longer reassign to any devices or remove the app from device or retrieve redemption code...
    Help please!!!

    I haven't experienced this before, but here's what I would try if I was in your shoes...
    Re-download the VPP spreadsheet from Apple. Re-add the app from iTunes into Apple Configurator under the Supervised tab (you will have to redeem one VPP code to download the app in iTunes, unless you've already redeemed the code with the Apple ID authorized in iTunes in which case you can download it from your past purchases. Remember the Apple ID used to authorize iTunes must be the same Apple ID that you use in Apple Configurator). Re-import the codes into Apple Configurator. Try synching again. The reason to do this is that Apple Configurator doesn't actually "use" the codes. It is just keeping a record of the codes. You use one code in iTunes on the computer to download the .ipa file. Then import that .ipa file into Apple Configurator. When you re-import the new VPP code spreadsheet into Apple Configurator it should show that you have all codes available as long as you are using the same Apple ID in iTunes that you are in Apple Configurator. (the key word here being "should")
    If this doesn't work, contact VPP for Education support. Explain your situation and ask them to restore your VPP code(s). They will. Here's the online form: https://ssl.apple.com/support/itunes/vpp-edu/
    Hope this helps. Good luck!!

  • Trouble w/ VPP in Apple Configurator

    Hi all - hope you had a great Thanksgiving! I am working a small (80 device) iPad rollout at Ovid-Elsie Area Schools in Michigan and although it seems to be working perfectly for us otherwise, I am experiencing some issues with Apple Configurator when it is working with VPP redemtion codes.
    used an initial Apple ID to download and add free apps into Apple Configurator. This worked perfectly and I had no issues with adding these apps to the devices to be managed, which involves putting check marks next to all apps before pressing Prepare.
    Using a second (program manager) Apple ID I purchased 2 apps (40/ea) through volume.itunes.apple.com/us.store on the same Mac Mini that runs Apple Configurator.
    Using the Apple ID initially used to purchase free apps (not the ID of the VPP program manager used to purchase apps through the volume purchase site) I took the first redemption code in my downloaded spreadsheet to purchase one of the apps in iTunes. That spreadsheet went in the trash and I re-downloaded the spreadsheet, added the app to Apple Configurator (trying both the + button in the app panel and the dragging app from iTunes methods) and imported the new spreadsheet into Apple Configurator for the first time.
    When the import was all take care of, the paid apps showed in the app dock along with the free apps and also displayed the number of redemption codes remaining. HOWEVER, the two rows for just the two paid apps appeared dim (grayed out) and were inactive. Meaning I was unable to select that app to be included in the Preparation of devices.
    I also made sure that the Mac Mini used throughout this process was an authorized iTunes Store computer for the initial, non-VPP Apple ID. I did not select the devices to be supervised because after having so much trouble & running short on time, I wanted to be able to install the apps manually as a plan B. (which I wasn’t able to do either….) Note: I am working with Mountain Lion & iPad 6.0 software. We are using an Ergotron cart to sync with Apple Configurator.
    Any thoughts? I have two elementary schools dying to use these apps immediately so any help would be greatly appreciated….
    Thanks again everyone,
    Kali

    Hi,
    You can only enter one code per iTunes account for the same app. So if you were not to use Configurator, you would enter one code into iTunes and sync the all the iPads to that iTunes account manually keeping track of your codes for any audit purposes. You could create a backup and restore to each of the iPads. I use encrypted backup. I have only used Configurator at this time to update iOS, it works very well for that and cuts down on update time greatly. I am leery of configurator with VPP because of all of the issues posted. I would have used VPP/Configurator exactly as you had stated.
    I thought from your post you were able to get all of your apps loaded except for the two that were greyed out. I was curious if you would be able to go into the App store on the one iPad that did not get the two apps because they were grayed out and sign in to the apple ID where those two apps resided ( the iTunes account you used for Configurator) and download them. I am not sure if once you associate an iTunes account to Configurator if that marks the paid apps in itunes so they can not be used. I think that it would not.
    I would also call the Apple Store support for Education. They may be able to help and or they will know your area rep.
    Good luck, Please post your outcome, I am sure there are many who would benefit. 

  • Owncloud install from Apple Configurator using VPP codes?

    Hi
    I am trying to install the Owncloud app onto a suite of iPads using Apple Configurator. I go through the normal process of downloading the app on my macbook and then uploading the codes into Apple Configurator.
    The first iPad will install the app but subsequent attempts to install on other iPads results in an error 38 "unable to redeem code with itunes store" followed by an error 0 "Click ok to confirm that you are over 17". Presumably the first app installs because I clicked ok in itunes when downloading the app so it thinks the first code I redeem is ok.
    There is nowhere on the iPad or iTunes to click "ok" with the failing installs.
    I have set configurator to allow all apps in preferences (I tried choosing 17+ as well with the same result).
    Is there any way to force Configurator to ignore age restrictions for app installs?
    Thanks

    hope this helps...per Apple support doc
    "If you do not already have a copy of the app on your computer, use the first redemption code in your spreadsheet to purchase it in iTunes. After using this code, re-download the spreadsheet and import it into Apple Configurator again. This allows Apple Configurator to automatically reassign this code to one of your devices."
