Configurator 1.4 hangs at Connect Devices in Prepare screen

The devices show up in the "Supervise screen" as connected. And they show up in Itunes. But when I go to the "Prepare screen" and hit the prepare button they just hang at "Connect Devices". Have tried through the cart (Bretford) and plugging in individually.
I have wiped all of them and started again. Same results.
Running 11.1 Itunes. 10.8.5 OSX. Configurator 1.4

I had a reply to my topic from NYLink with the advice to check the Supervise pane and unsupervise the devices so that you can prepare them again.
What happened in my case was half of my iPads needed a full restore to get iOS7.02 installed - Configurator still had them listed as being supervised, but would not apply any apps to them, and they would not show up in the Prepare pane. So they needed to be unsupervised first before anything else could be done to them.
What I did: I plugged in a single iPad at a time, so that there was no confusion as to which device was which in Configurator - for me, Configurator had decided that all my devices were iPad02. Once the iPad was connected, I was able to go to the Devices menu at the top, and select Unsupervise from the bottom of the menu. After going through one by one, all my devices are now visible from the Prepare pane again, and once prepare was completed they were visible in the Supervise pane again.
Good luck!

Apple configurator won't recognize all connected devices

I am trying to set up and use configurator on a macbook with a classroom cart of 30 ipads, they were previously managed through itunes but I'd like to wipe over them all with my profile/setup I have in configurator. I have all 30 devices connected via usb in the cart but configuator only detects 15. I have double checked that all the connections are properly in place. Am I doing something wrong or missing a step?

The solution is easier than you would think. I, too, had this problem - it took me three days to finally realize why. Configurator only recognized 12 out of the 30 iPads I had in my cart. I checked to make sure that all the white plugs were plugged in to the hub (these plugs can be pulled out easily, and if you never take out the trays to check you will never know that this has happened). It appeared that all the plugs were plugged in. I then re-connected the iPads, but still Configurator only recognized 12 iPads in the cart. At that point I checked the two power cords going in to the hubs - one of them was loose. I pushed the loose plug in tighter, connected my iPads, and BOOM! - Configurator recognized all of the iPads.
I am not sure why the cord going in to the hub became loose - the hub is in a location where nobody can mess with it. If you ever have this problem, check ALL the plugs to make sure one is not loose.

Error 633: The modem (or other connecting device) is already in use or is not configured properly.

Hi all,
I recently got that a new USB CDMA modem which works fine on Windows 7 system but when I try connecting to my other laptop which runs on Windows 8.1, it keeps giving the error:
Error 633: The modem (or other connecting device) is already in use or is not configured properly. I've most of the links and solutions shared but none seems to work. I've generated diagnostic logs which are as follows. I interpreted some and most probably
it seems like an issue of incompatible driver, but does anyone else sees any issues in these diagnostic logs. Looking forward to your suggestions.

Hi,
We could get more information about your problem through this log. While, for your problem, first of all, it would be better to contact USB Modem manufacture to confirm its compatibility with Windows edition.
After that, make sure its driver was upgraded to be latest.

Konica Minolta Bizhub 350 - OS/X 10.6 - Printing "hangs" after connecting

I've installed the latest drivers (dated 4/2010) from the Konica site. I'm using 10.6.4.
Whenever I try to print to our Bizhub 350, the job seems to hang with "Connected to printer..." in the printer status window.
I'm pretty sure my Mac and the printer are actually talking. For instance, I get status messages occasionally (such as "Tray 1 is empty") and I can check supply levels.
Is anyone printing to a Bizhub 350? If so can you give some advice on how to get it working?
Thanks.

Hi there. I don't have a Bizhub 350 but would suggest that your issue could related to the protocol or the driver being used.
With regards to the driver, the latest driver you downloaded may be a Postscript driver. If the printer does not support Postscript then this would stop the job from printing. You should be able to print a configuration page from the 350 or connect to its internal web page by typing the IP address of the printer into a web browser. Either method should show what printer languages you have installed in the device.
If the latest driver you are using is supported by the printer then the protocol you have selected when making the printer queue could be the issue. For IP printer queues, the default IPP protocol is not always supported by or enabled in the printer. Therefore it is often easier to create a queue using HP Jetdirect-Socket, as this is what Windows computers will use (called Standard TCP/IP Printing on Windows). LPD is the other IP protocol you can use but it often requires a specific queue name and for some devices can also be case-specific.

WRT54G can ping internet, but connected devices cannot.

When I do a factory reset of our WRT54G router and configure it for our setup, everything works fine for a while (undetermined, random amount of time). We use it primarily for wireless access, and connect an iphone, ipad, mac, pc devices to it with no problem and can access the internet fine.
After some period of time, all devices can still connect to the WRT54G via wireless, but cannot access the internet either by browser or ping/tracert commands. Meanwhile, the WRT54G diagnostics can successfully perform pings and tracerts to both IP address and URLs (so DNS *is* working fine)
I connected a computer to the WRT54G via cat5 cable while the wireless devices could not access the internet, and the wired computer could *not* access the internet either. However, from the admin section of the WRT54G we could ping/tracert with no problems.
Any ideas what causes this to drop and what we can do (other than factory reset) to fix it, and perhaps to prevent it?
..Rick..

This isn't a home setup. My wrt54G is connected to a DMZ switch which is connected to our gateway router and then out to the 100mpbs pipe.
All of our LAN is working fine, and as I mentioned in the original post, the WRT54G can always ping an external site (both via URL and IP address), as well as being able to do a traceroute.
When the connected devices can no longer get to the internet through the router, the router can still do the pings and traceroutes, so I conclude that there is no interruption in internet service. It stops at the WRT54G. It always accepts wireless connections.

SG200-08 Loosing MAC addresses of connected devices

I have a SG200-08 Switch that has in the last month been acting up with certain types of traffic. On June 7, 2013 I installed the 1.0.6.2 firmware upgrading from 1.0.5.1. Updating the firmware has not helped.
Last week Tuesday a server that was connected to that switch disappeared from the network, looking at the trouble I had to reboot the server and traffic began to flow. After rebooting the server I found only 1 of 2 MAC addresses from the 1 NIC showing up on the port.
Today I have a Xerox Workcenter connected to the switch on another port and while working on changing settings on the device I stopping being able to reach the device, could not even ping it. I went into the switch port showed active, but no MAC address found in the dynamic table for that port. After rebooting the switch I could reach the Xerox again.
I rebooted the switch on Friday near the end of the day and it was doing better till this morning, all MAC addresses for connected devices were showing up OK. Is the device defective? It had been working OK previously, it is connected to another switch on port 1, and that shows a proper table of dynamic MAC addresses. In both cases of loosing a device it was being used not dormant or in any kind of low power mode.

Dear Michael,
Thank you for reaching Small Business Support Community.
Based on the symptoms; SG200 working fine before, it seems to work ok after reboot, and latest firmware already installed. It seems to me like a hardware failure but still, in order to confirm, it would be a good idea to restore to factory conditions and configure it manually again. Just in case that does not help I suggest you to contact the Small Business Support Center for further assistance;
https://www.cisco.com/en/US/support/tsd_cisco_small_business_support_center_contacts.html
Please let me know if there is anything I can assist you with in the meantime.

LMS 4.2 User Tracking for Avaya IP Handsets and Connected Devices

I manage an environment that makes extensive use of Avaya IP phones and it's frustrating that this seems to limit the usefulness of the User Tracking application within LMS.
We configure the switch (2960) ports connected to the handsets as dot1q trunks with the associated PC being connected to the switch built into the phone.
Having done some forum research it seems that UT only adds an entry for a device connected on a trunk port if it is a Cisco IP phone, not anything else. This is frustrating as it eliminates a large part of our network from being recorded in UT and is doubley frustrating since the PC connected to the switch on the phone also isn't recorded.
Is there any way to get around this problem that anybody is aware of? Thanks

As long as you have a supported Cisco Layer 3 device in your LMS-management domain, you should be able to correlate the IP-MAC addresses in User Tracking (UT).
UT support is not specifically listed for the ASA firewall - I'm not sure it will support that feature if it is the users' gateway.

Hope this helps.

Why do the connected devices to the router have the smae IPV6 address?

Hi,
Now I meet the issue
The operation steps on router (WRVS4400N):
1.Set the IP mode as Dual-stack IP and then save
2.Disable the IPV4 DHCP server
3.Use other deivces to connect the router.
The connected devices have the same IP address(2005:123:456:789::1),I am confused,why is it?
please help.
Thanks!

Hello,
The WRVS4400N is in fact assigning IPv6 addresses to all the devices connected to it, but the WRVS4400N does not show a table with the IPv6 addresses assigned to each device connected, it only shows the IPv4 addresses and the respective MAC address for each device. The IPv6 of the WRVS4400N is an aggregetable global unicast IPv6 address (See the image below)
If you go to Setup > LAN you will see that you cannot modify the prefix of the IPv6 address, all you can modify is the postifx and prefix length field (As you can see in the image below).
For more information about these fields and general IPv6 configuration, please refer to the article IPv6 Configuration on WRVS4400N Wireless-N Gigabit Security Routers
The only way you have to see the IPv6 address assigned to each device connected to the WRVS4400N is to check on each device the IPv6 address assigned. The WRVS4400N does not provide this information. You can see from the below picture the IPv6 address assigned to my computer. As you can see, the WRVS4400N assign the the computer the prefix 2002:c0a8::/6. Then you can see the actual IPv6 address which is 2002:c0a8:0:b182:e6a:9b0e:cdcf.
As you can see, the initial part (The prefix) remains the same, since these are the first 64 bits of the whole IPv6 address. The other 64 bits of the IPv6 address represents the interface ID, that is, the device that is connected to the WRVS4400N.
I hope you find this information helpful. If you have further questions, don't hesitate to ask.

Communication between connected devices

Can anyone confirm that two connected devices (e.g., a laptop and a desktop) can exchange files through the Verizon 4G LTE Router? Or are they limited to individually connecting to the internet as with jetpacks?

There should be no reason why two LAN connected computers could not share files between each other on the 4G LTE router. If you experience any problems it is because the sharing of the two devices is not setup correctly. A side note, local file sharing does not count against your VZW data plan. Only traffic that goes across VZW's network is metered and held against you.
You can share files between two local devices on a Jetpack without any extra configuration. Its the sharing between a local and remote device that does not work out of the box. Even then you can work around the limitations with a proper VPN environment.
Let us know if you recieve a specific error message when you try to share along with the OS of each computer. I'm sure we can walk you through the process.

IPad 2 to Apple TV: Cannot Play Movie - The Connected Device is not authorized to play protected movies.

I am getting the 'Connected Device is not authorized to play protected movies' message.
Here is my setup:
From the iPad 2 I used iTunes to Rent a movie - Safe House in SD.
I then used Airplay Mirroring to send the movie to my Apple TV.
The Apple TV is connected to a Vizio V0370M HDTV.
According to Vizio all of the HDMI ports have HDCP.
When the movie starts I get this error message on the iPad.
I have used this approach in the past with success.
I rented a couple of episodes of HBO's True Blood and they played just fine on the Vizio through Apple TV.
I believe some were in HD and some SD.
Using the iPad with Airplay Mirroring is a very nice way to send content to the HDTV.
I was hoping I'd be able to do this for anything that is on the iPad.
Is there something wrong with my configuration? Or what I'm trying to do?
Thanks for any help or advice!

I had exact same problem and I have found a way to get round out!!!! Easy!
So the reason it doesn't allow it to play is for security to stop piracy etc.
Plug in the cable and VGA and aux cable and get everything set up so you are looking at the home screen.
1) select Videos
2) selected the film you want to watch
3) click the little play button
4) it will then come up with the message saying it can't play protected films blah blah blah
5) WITHOUT clicking ok double tap the home button to bring up the multitasking bar and swipe left to reveal the control panel
6) hold fast forward for a second or two and the movie with continue to play!
Stay in the multi tasking bar with the control panel, The message will stay there but don't worry. Kick back and enjoy your iPad movie on the big screen:)
I'm sure your saying thanks:) it was my pleasure realising I've outsmarted apples little security protection thing lol

HT3728 how do I see IP addresses of connected devices to my airport extreme

I'm trying to reuse a Net Gear N600 router I had to shelve since I installed my Airport Extreme router as an access point. I need to see other IP addresses so I can configure the N600 IP address as 10.0.1.xxx. The only way to make sure I don't use an already used IP address for the N600 is to see what IP addresses are used by the system.
The only support I've found here is how to set up a distributed network using other apple airport extreme devices.
Has anyone done/added a second non-apple router configured as an access point to an airport extreme. If you have please let me know what you did. I intend to have the N600 connected via ethernet cable to my airport extreme to extend both my wifi network and connected devices.
Thanks,
Steven

Download the fing app on an iOS device

IPhone 4 won't connect when trying to dial out, just hangs and hangs at "connecting"

iPhone 4 running 4.3.3 on AT&T network.
For some reason, I can only make one outgoing call at a time on my phone without having to power it off and reboot it. When I go to make a call, it will just hang at "connecting" -- I don't even get a "Call failed" or "can't connect". If I power off and reboot, and I can make a call, but just ONE. The next one I try is the same thing. Really annoying!
Has anyone had this problem? Is it a software or carrier issue? I've resent the network settings and that didn't help.
Thanks!

Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tends to indicate a problem with your network.
What happens when it fail to connect?
----- Does the iOS device see the network?
----- Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Active device PIN vs connected device PIN with DM

I'm using Desktop Manager 4.7 connecting with Outlook 2007. I'm not using BIS.
Everytime I connect my Storm, I get the message "Your messaging account is currently configured to use device with PIN xxx. Would you like to switch to the connected device with PIN yyy instead?"
I think xxx might have been for my Pearl which I no longer have... at any rate, how can I get it to quit asking me this question?
Thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

When you receive the message:
"Your messaging account is currently configured to use device with PIN xxx. Would you like to switch to the connected device with PIN yyy instead?"
Select "Yes", this will then update the device which is associated with your desktop manager

Ethernet-connected Devices and DHCP

Hi!
I have an ethernet-connected device (http://www.avid.com/US/products/artist-mix) which I'm having some issues with. I currently have it plugged into the primary ethernet port on my Mac Pro, with the LAN connected to the secondary ethernet port.
Some suggestions have been to assign it a static IP to the device to avoid conflicts. Which leads me to my question:
If the device is connected via ethernet to my Mac, is it assigned an IP address via DHCP like a device connected directly to the LAN does? Or would it remain separate from the network? If connecting it to my Mac does indeed attach it to the network via DHCP, then I will get on assigning a static IP for it.
I realise this isn't really a Mac Pro based question, but I know there are people in this forum who can help me.
Many thanks for any help in advance,
Steve

So I have the modem/router in DHCP/NAT mode, and Airport Extreme in Bridged mode.
This would be the simplest, correct way to configure your network.
Unless you need some special feature from the AirPort Extreme....that would require that the AirPort Extreme handle DHCP and NAT service.....like the Guest Network feature......then it would probably be best to keep things simple and leave them "as is" on your network.
Either the modem needs to be in Bridge Mode and the AirPort Extreme handles DHCP and NAT.....or.....the modem/router handles DHCP and NAT and the AirPort Extreme is setup in Bridge Mode.
it does not really matter which device handles DHCP and NAT as long as your feature requirements are being met on the network.
Personally, I strongly prefer to use a simple modem....not a modem/router....and another separate router to control the network. But, your ISP may not offer that option.

IPad mini retina - The connected device requires too much power.

Hi,
I just bought the IDJ Live 2 Controller on 6 march 2014.
when I connect the lightning cable to the ipad and idj live 2, it shows me an error.
Unable to use the device: The connected device requires too much power.
i use the original cable from numark idj, my configuration is:
ipad mini retina ios 7.0.6 - idj live 2.
I tried with iPhone 4, it works well. (same ios)
I also have a sd card lighting adapter and it works on the iPad mini retina.
Currently it is not possible to power the lightining cable..
maybe in future, will Apple increase the output current through new ios?

No, because the other end of the lighining cable has a mini usb (type b) connector.
