Configurator ipads education

Does there exist some Apple authored documentation explaining how to set up mutiple mini iPads using Apple Configurator?  If not, is there recommended non-Apple authored documentation that you'd recommend?

Hi RustyMorrell,
Here are a few resources I recommend you check out to learn more about deploying iPads in education:

  • What are the steps in Apple Configurator iPad restore? It appears to me that Configurator repeats steps, but it probably is that I don't know what happens and when.

    If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then you can get a clue to what it is, and potentially use it, by going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and clicking 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you should see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    If you don't have, or don't want to use, your rescue email address (you won't be able to add/change it until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support or Apple to get them reset (which will be by phone as they need to verify your id - we are fellow users here on these forums).
    e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then 'Forgotten Apple ID security questions'
    or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down this page to add/change rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312 . Or you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570

  • How to configure IPAD to connect Wireless (WPA2)

    Hi Expert,
           I've problem that I cannot configure IPAD connect Wireless LAN (Auth   WPA2)  so I don't know How I have to configure anything on  Wireless Controller or I've to configure anything on IPAD. Please advise me sir.
    Best Regards
    Peera

    Hi,
    As I understood , you need configuration on controller side ...  if that is the case... please follow below procedure ..
    once you login to controller through GUI ... you need to select " Wireless " option
    1) select wlan which you want to configure with WPA2 ...
    2) you will get page with all details about corrousponding WLAN
    3) select " Security " option in wlan option
    4) once you click on security option , you will get option with WPA+ WPA2
    5) select that option with what type of encryption you required ...
    I believe you need wpa2 with personal edition. if so ... please select PSK with TKIP option .
    once you do that , it will be activated from controller side for the respective Wlan ...
    About IPAD ... you need to select wpa+wpa2 with psk and TKIP .... I do not have clear idea about IPAD ...

  • HT1495 Is there a way to have 10 ipads (education dept) working on one itunes account?

    We have just bought an imac, 5 macbook pros and 10 ipad airs to run sports analysis software and were looking for advice on how to operate them in an effective way. We also have a sync/charge device on order. The macbooks and ipads will be taken out by students to analyse sports matches using specialist software. I know how that works on single devices working with my personal account, but how do we approach this as a department? Any help will be appreciated.

    Educators like talking and writing about things they have done.I'd recommend looking at  an article like the following:
    http://sedcclint.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/Managing-and-Supporting-iPads-in -the-Classroom-with-iOS-7-PDF.pdf
    There is also an iOS in education deployment guide, done by Apple, though as far as I know, the latest version is for iOS 6.
    http://images.apple.com/education/docs/ios_6_education_deployment_guide.pdf
    You can also do a Google Search on "iOS in Education". There is a lot of stuff that has been written about educational deployments. 
    The short answer to your question is yes, in  educational settings, last I read,  Apple will allow the use of a single iTunes account on multiple shared devices.. 
    Sports analysis software?  Will that help me with sports betting?

  • Configurator, iPads update iOS will no longer connect to network

    Managing 30 iPad 4s with Bretford cart, Mac Mini.
    On a recent update to iOS 7.0.4, it seems that not all of my iPads took it nicely. Only 3 worked like I expected in fact, and function as they did before. 27 others will no longer connect to the network I had deployed as a package in Configurator. In fact, they went back to the beginning welcome / setup screen for the OS reload.
    Is there something that I can try before I just set these all to erase and re-prepare them?

    Update: I unplugged all, and manually plugged in one iPad.
    I unsupervised, and prepared it again, reloaded all the apps, and got the same result.
    Once the iPad shows up in Configurator as prepared, and in my supervised list, it seems good to go: BUT
    as soon as I turn it on, it shows me the "Hello" welcome screen, asks to join the network, and seems to freeze. The iPad goes to sleep without it receiving a connection.

  • Apple Configurator & IPAD 3 enterprise deployment

    Good morning/afternoon,
    So we are deploying many iPad 3's in my organisation and I have been given the job of deploying these things out to users across the country.  I have a new iMac with apple configurator and I would like to deploy these out, unsupervised, to our users.  It needs to include the latest IOS, several apps, exchange profile and some device lock password policies.  Further down the line I would like to use configurator to complement our Airwatch MDM solution, but that comes later.  So I have got to the stage where I have been able to deploy the latest iOS (5.1.1) and install some apps as well as restore a backup in order to configure wallpaper etc.  The only real hang up at the moment is with exchange mail payloads.  I would like to be able to install all of the aforementioned items/configurations, including email and wifi settings and then hand the iPad to the user.  However when the configuration gets to the exchange mail and lockout password bit in the deployment, it prompts me for the users email and password as well as a screen lockout password.  The problem here is obvious, I do not have the users email or password and even password for lockout of the device, why would I?  I have been given the job to batch configure many ipad's and all I want is for the user to open there shiny new iPad 3 box and then follow the profile wizard to setup their email/pass code and whoalla, customised by the user for them to use.
    I simply don't want it to prompt me for this information at deployment time in configurator.  I just want a green tick! Is this achievable? Or do I need to rely on our MDM for this?
    Also is there a way to assign a device to a user if it is not supervised?
    Thanks for reading.

    Just to clarify to use the correct terms, I'm just using Apple Configurator to prepare the devices, 2 different business units, with a set of different default apps.

  • How do I reset ipad in apple configurator

    trying to configure ipads in configurator, cant get it to work correctly. it there a way to delete existing profile and wipeout ipad to start new again. I cant get configurator to see ipad in prepare mode. thanks.

    Just guessing it sounds like you have used configurator on this iPad before it stopped showing in Prepare. So most likely you have supervised this iPad, and now it will only show up in the Supervise tab.
    Have only the iPad in question plugged into the Mac, go to the Supervise tab and click USB connected devices on the left hand side. If an iPad is in that list, there it is. If you would still like to wipe it and start fresh, right click (or click with two fingers at the same time, depending on your settings) on the iPad and a drop down menu will appear. Click on 'Unsupervise'. That will wipe your iPad and unsupervise it, as if it was a brand new iPad that had never been plugged into Apple Configurator.

    So we just got a new Macbook and I also installed the apple configurator tool. I'm using it to prepare the iPads for deployment and it won't let me prepare them? It gets an error stating "retrieving iOS info from apple" then it stops and says "internet error". My Internet connection is fine with the Mac-book. It shows the iPad is listed under the Prepare logo up top as 1 but under supervise none are shown. Although it does show itself in iTunes. Also the profile I created is fresh and has no errors. We have tryed nearly everything I cna think of and online forums are not giving us to much info on this error. 

    A wag at this.  A port issue?
    "Apple Push Notification network setup
    When MDM servers and iOS devices are behind a firewall, some network configuration may need to take place in order for the MDM service to function properly. To send notifications from an MDM server to Apple Push Notification service, TCP port 2195 needs to be open. To reach the feedback service, TCP port 2196 will need to be open as well. For devices connecting to the push service over Wi-Fi, TCP port 5223 should
    be open."

  • Configure hp office jet to print from IPad

    Configure iPad to print on hp office jet pro

    Depending on which HP OfficeJet Pro printer you have, the solution could vary. You can click on the link below, choose the "Which HP printers are compatible with Apple AirPrint", and view all AirPrint capable printers. If you printer is AirPrint capable, you can print directly from your iPad with the proper settings.
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02623193&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en #N197
    If your printer does not appear on the list, you may want to check out various apps that can provide a solution for you. The HP ePrint Home and Biz app is one that HP makes, but there are many 3rd party printing apps available.

  • Is there a solution to configure the Ipad keyboard in BEPO (french Dvorak) ?

    I'm user of BEPO keyboard. It's a french version of the Dvorak keyboard, very useful for people who (like me) use to type a lot and have often tendinitis. There is several thousands of user in the world since 2008 and the number is increasing every day.
    This configuration exist for OSX (with an add-on), for Android too, but I'm unable to find it for Ipad. So bad because I would like to use the mini Ipad with external BEPO keyboard.
    Do you know if there exist an app to configure Ipad in BEPO ?
    Do you know if this keyboard layout will be implemented someday in the Ipad ?

    Sorry no, not that I know of.

  • Apple configurator + wireless management

    Can I manage an Apple Configurator ipad cart of 32 ipads wirelessly using Apple server?

    Hi Simon,
    A device must be Supervised in order to take advantage of all of the restrictions available to MDMs. To the best of my knowledge, Apple Configurator is the only tool that can "Supervise" a device. Once Supervised, then an MDM like Profile Manager can take advantage of all the restrictions and settings available for wireless management.
    (from page 19 of the iOS 6 Education Deployment Guide)
    Additional settings and restrictions are available to Supervised devices running iOS 6 or later. Once a device is Supervised these restrictions can be configured via configuration profiles that are delivered via Apple Configurator, MDM or manual download. These restrictions include:
    Single App Mode - Locks user into a single, specified application. If powered down, the specified application will launch at boot. Consider using MDM to enable and disable this setting for dynamic control.
    Global Network Proxy for HTTP - Routes most all device web traffic through a specified proxy server or setting. This setting is applied across all Wi-Fi SSIDs and cellular networks. Install this setting via Apple Configurator in a non-removable profile for strongest enforcement. Consider using a PAC file for greater flexibility with this setting.
    Allow Removing Apps - Disabling prevents users from removing apps from the home screen.
    Allow Use of Game Center - Disabling removes Game Center icon from the home screen. Use this setting in conjunction with disabling both Allow multiplayer gaming and Allow adding Game Center friends to completely disable Game Center on supervised devices.
    Allow iMessage - Disabling removes Messages icon from the home screen.
    Allow iBookstore - Disabling prevents access to the iBookstore while allowing use of the iBooks app for reading books and PDFs.
    Allow iBookstore Sexually Explicit Content - Allow prevents access to adult content from the iBookstore.
    Allow Configuration Profiles Installation - Disabling prevents users from manually installing configuration profiles directly on the device, which includes enrolling in an MDM server.
    Is there another way to "Supervise" a device without Apple Configurator?
