Deploy Apps to the Device on multiple Macs

I'm currently enrolled in the iOS Developer Program and I'm able to run and test apps that I create directly in my iPhone. I recently bought a new MacBook and I wanted to know if I'm able to deploy my apps on both machines. I couldn't figure out a way to do it so far...

HT201304 I need to restrict access to Settings on an iPad so settings like VoiceOver cannot be activated while letting them access multiple apps on the device. Is their any way to restrict access to settings without locking the device with a PIN?

I need to restrict access to Settings on an iPad so settings like VoiceOver cannot be activated while letting them access multiple apps on the device. Is their any way to restrict access to settings without locking the device with a PIN?
This is so our guests cannot tamper or disable the device. We are already using Apple Configurator but their does not seem to be a way to lock down settings without a PIN.

There's a lot of restrictions information in Chapter 19 of the 4.2 User Guide.

By the way, a more extensive version of the User Manual is available at no charge through iBooks.

Recommended method to deploy apps in the enterprise

I have a Mac server configured with Profile Manager. My users at this point log into their iMacs with their Active Directory credentials. Classroom laptops use AD credentials as well, and the rest of the laptops (1/3 of all Macs on our site) have stand-alone accounts on the local machines.
We've been messing with VPP up to this point, but honestly I'm not impressed with the way it works with OSX devices. I can enroll a machine into Profile Manager via trust certificate and the management profile. This works fine, and I can group the machines in logical order. According to the documentation, I should be able to deploy apps to the workstations themselves (independent of who is using it), but so far it doesn't seem to work like that.
With a free VPP app, such as Garageband, in Profile Manager, I can only see where I can associate it with a user or user-group. I see two options with this. First, we use a common app-store credential to associate with the VPP apps. This seems like a poor option since a user wouldn't necessarily know the password to this account, and as soon as the app has an update, they are going to call us to login as the common app-store credential that owns the VPP app. Second, we associate the app to a user him/herself and let them do the installing or updating. This also assumes that our users sign up for an app-store account if they don't already have one (kind of weak, IMO).
With these two, any common area/lab machines would obviously need a shared admin accessible VPP app-store ID, but with user-specific machines, I see it the other way. If I could target all of these machines without involving the users, that would be optimal. Given these three options (target user, target shared app-store account with manual admin intervention on each machine, target machine independently of a user), what do you all recommend?

I will give my .02 on this topic. I hope this helps.
App distribution for Apps from the AppStore is a tricky mine field. The new VPP program is a step in the right direction and for many businesses it is a dream come true (no more redemption codes, transfer of assets, European Union tax issues, I can go on...). However, I will agree with you in regards that education does not benefit as much, especially when (1) the students do not have an Apple ID, (2) the devices are not deployed in the one-to-one model, and (3) users are not permitted to alter machine configurations.
VPP for enterprise is a good thing, provided your organization is willing to allow user's the freedom to add content (an use Apple IDs). The way it works is as follows.
• You enroll in the VPP program
• You purchase apps/books in bulk through the app store
• You configure your MDM to participate in the VPP
• You invite your users using an email or via push notification if devices are already enrolled
• When the user gets the invite, the user uses her own Apple ID to associate their App Store catalog with your enterprise App Store catalog (this all happens on Apple's servers)
• The enterprise does not care nor does it need to know which Apple ID the user used. This is irrelevant to the organization.
• You then assign the apps and books to the users through your MDM
• The user now sees this content in their App Store from their device
• If the user leaves the organization, you can remove the app from the user and you recall the seat into the available pool.
• The App remains on the device for 30 days I believe and the user (if this is a personal device and they still have it after being removed from the program) will be prompted to purchase the app (books are transferred - you can not pull them back).
So, all that being said, you are not deploying to an enterprise and you are not deploying to dedicated devices. I suspect that some of your users may also be too young to have an Apple ID. So while I still recommend that you participate in the VPP to ensure software compliance, the reality is that you are likely going to use a single Apple ID to download the software. This will be included in a master build when imaging and prepping machines. If there are updates, you will download the update onto a build machine and use tools like ARD, JAMF, Deploy Studio, etc to push the app out to your fleet of machines. Keep in mind that updates from the App store are full versions and they are self contained bundles. Also, turn off all software update notifications on the workstations to keep users from realizing updates are available.
I am a firm believer that schools should not apply updates to machines between September and June unless it is a tested security patch. The risk of impacting the educational process is too great. Look no further than the dramatic changing in the iLife and iWork tools. Changing mid year can cause entire curricula to be disrupted. There is no deeper wrath than that of a school matriarch dressing you down because you put out software that does not match her lesson plans.
Ok, I am done on the soap box. Hope this helped. My suggestion again is stick with the VPP for compliance reasons but use distro tools to push the updated/new apps out to machines as needed. This allows you to continue to use a single Apple ID, the account information is obscured from the user, and all updates happen via a distro push, avoiding touching each machine.

Select the application you wish to put in the Dock, then drag it into the left side of the Dock's sizing gadget.

.. If the app is – in or out of background - (if in background NOT the first app) and the device locked – when you get a push message and DO NOT response straight away. Later unlock, click the app icon (which will have a badge on it) and it fails.

Deploy app from iTunes Store to multiple iPads. Without Apple IDs/iTunes Accounts for iPads.

I can't find a simple answer to this question from Apples flashy "documentation" or from any online straighforward guides.
There is an app called "Articulate Mobile Player" that we want to deploy to our fleet of iPads. These iPads do not have Apple IDs/iTunes Accounts configured for them to access the iTunes store.
We have access to the Apple Configurator for Windows and Trend Micro MDM (Mobile Security and App Management for BYOD).
From what I can ascertain perhaps we need to create VPP account, "purchase" the free app required to gain access to the .IPA file, then either use our MDM solution or Configurator to place the app on devices.
Will we then need an Apple ID/iTunes Account to use the App?
Is there further requirements such as certificates and such? The iPads are configured to use the Trend MDM for app deployment as far as I am aware.
Thanks for the help and hopefully prompt response on exactly what is required for what is a really simple requirement and should not be this complicated.

That was quick!! So to double check on the statement:
"If both the Dutch apps + the newly downloaded HK app are visible (ON THE DEVICE), then I should be able (ON THE DEVICE) to switch back to my Dutch Apple ID, to keep receiving updates on my Dutch apps (including, and not limited to, newspapers, magazines, etc), Accepting that I would not be able to receive updates of the HK app."
This is a valid statement?

Restored ipod touch(and started as new) is downloading "The Oregon Trail" whenever i try to download the first app on the device...I know people say you cant get a virus but im sure this is one. Any idea on how to get it off?

The computer where i always sync to and stuff got a virus the other day so i reinstalled windows which deleted data on the computer. As a precaution i restored my ipod (no backup) and everything seemed fine as i checked for any left over data. The ipod had the home page and the search page. Then i decided to get some apps. I signed in, pressed install button for textplus(first app on the clean ipod) and then it started loading. However, next to the loading textplus app there was the app "The Oregon Trail" which i know i did NOT install. "The Oregon Trail" is paused and not loading but the picture of the app is different from the one in the app store. I am convinced this is a virus because not only does it look different from the app store version and i ended up on my ipod without permission, it also takes up more memory than the app store says (around 350mb). I've restored multiple times and the same problem comes up again and again and again. Once i let the app load and then deleted it, but when i check i only have the same amount of memory than bfore. Does this mean i cant download any apps because of this corrupt app?????

Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem

Failed to Open a Session on the Device - scanning from Mac OSX 10.9.3 - M1217nfw

Hello,
I'm running into some issues scanning wirelessly from our HP LaserJet M1217nfw MFP from any Mac running 10.9.3. I've tried to "Reset Printing System" and re-adding the printer with no success. Each time I open either Preview/Printers & Scanners/Image Capture, I receive the following error message: "Failed to Open a Session on the Device." When I add the printer, I do so by selecting the "+" icon, and selecting "Add Printer or Scanner..." selecting the printer from the list listed via bonjour, and "Select the software" but my model printer is not listed. The closest printer listed is HP LaserJet Professional M1210nf MPF Series, but it doesn't work. Any ideas here?
This question was solved.

Welcome to the HP Forums jpuebla,
I see by your post that you are having issues scanning, you aren't able find the drivers to add the printer.
I can help you with this issue.
The drivers for Maverick are the Apple Update drivers.
OS X v10.9 Mavericks: Installing and Using the Printer on a Mac.
Repair the Disk Permissions on the Mac:
Close all applications.
On the Apple menu bar, click Go, click Applications and then click Utilities.
Double-click Disk Utility.
Highlight your hard drive/partition on the left.
Click Verify and then Repair Disk Permissions.
Restart the computer.
Reset the Printing System:
Note: This will remove all printers in the print and Fax/Scan, any printer removed can be re-added later by clicking the plus (+) symbol.
Click the Apple icon ( ), and then click System Preferences.
Click Printers & Scanners.
Right-click (or Ctrl +click) in the left white side panel, then click Reset printing system.
Click OK to confirm the reset.
Type the correct Name and Password.
Click OK to reset the printing system.
Then click the + sign, then select the printer from the list and click on the Add button.
(make sure it shows the printer name beside Use, not the Airprint driver)
You might have to run the Apple Updates again with USB cable connected to get the drivers installed.
Then try and add the bonjour printer again.
Test the printer again.
If you are having network issues, then add the printer through the IPProtocal.
After clicking the + button, select the IP icon across the top, type in the printer's IP address, select jet direct below and then Apply.
Test the printer.
I have seen the HP Printer Drivers v.2.16.1 for OS X drivers work successfully, if the issue persists.
If you need further assistance, let me know.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

Xcode doesn't install my app on the device any more

Hi,
( It's not provision profile problem )
It's been working fine for months, but last night during one of the installing new version on the device for test purposes in the middle of process it came back and said "There was an internal API error" and when I looked at it I saw my app's icon is gone and it didn't copy the new version on the device, but in Organizer window it still show the app in the list and when I tried to uninstall it manually using minus button it goes to the same process with message ( TakingInstallLock ) and comes back with the same "There was an internal API error" pop up window, and in little prompt message in gray color it says "Xcode cannot find the software image to copy the new version".
I believe there is an unfinished process left for copying the new version which Xcode cannot resolve it, I don't know how to safely remove the left over.
I know it's a bit of technical but some one might know who to contact in apple.

Yes That's what I ended up doing, I backed up my data then restored the OS to factory default and restored the data I backed up before setting back to factory default and thanks to Apple's perfect backup restore every thing stayed intact even my apps internal data.

How can I see a list of apps and the devices they are installed on?

I have iTunes 11, and have downloaded numerous apps.
I have 2 iPads and 2 iPhones. I know I can select each mobile device in turn and see whether an app is installed on it or not. But, to see if a particular app is installed on each device, I have to click on each device and then look at the app list.
I would rather be able to see a list of apps, and along side them, a column for each device with an indicator of whether or not the app is installed, and a button, such as is used in the app list today, which would allow me to Remove, Install, Update, etc.
In this way, I would easily be able to see everywhere an app was installed, and in one place be able to, for example, indicate I wanted it removed from all devices, and potentially deleted from iTunes when that is done.
Is there a facility built in to iTunes already that will allow me to do this? If not, is there a Plug-In I could use?

That sucks! Thanks for the quick response.
Do you know if there is another Adobe app (free or paid) that will let me markup a large document and list my edits?

Using the Airport with Multiple Macs

I have three Macs in my house. An eMac, an iMac and an iBook. All three are wireless, we have an Airport. However, we have to reset the DSL everytime we use a different computer. Is this a problem with the Airport or our DSL service? If it's the Airport, what can I change so that we can all use the DSL at the same time?

Welcome to the discussions.
Your problem is how you are confiqured.
1. Make sure that the drivers are set to infrastructure mode and obtain IP auto.
2. Router's DHCP On. (Static IP will work too if set correctly.)
3. Make sure that the Router does not have any MAC or IP filtering on.
4. Disable WEP/WPA on both devices.
5. Set the SSID and channel of the Router and the Client card to be is same.
