Device enrolment and push notification certificates weirdness

Really hope someone can help me with this one.
After a fierce fight with my server I decided to do a clean install to make sure everything is in it's intended place and state.
Besides many, many other issues (suddenly disappearing of Open Directory, weird profile manager errors, binding issues etc etc) this is the one I really don't understand.
All settings are good and tested (DNS, IP's etc).
Enrolment of devices seems to go well. I can install trust profiles on my macbook pro, macmini, iphone and ipad. All lights green there. Enrollment of non-ios devices all work fine, but when I enroll more than one ios device something weird happens. It doesn't matter if I enroll the iphone or the ipad first. The first enrolled device works fine, push notifications also works fine for this one.
The second one just doesn't stick. It sort of shows up in the web based profile manager but doesn’t carry the correct name. It just says ‘New Device’. In the web based enrollment environment (server.domain.com/mydevices) the dysfunctional ios device appears and disappears randomly. I can't push anything toward it.
I added some images.
Also weird! Although I did a clean install, my push certificates are all ‘signed by an unknown authority’. The rest of the certificates (they are all there) are healthy. I have seen these certificates before when they where nice and green saying that they where trusted. Is this a problem on Apple’s side?
Hope someone relieves some of my struggle.
Thanks!

THANK YOU...I have been putting off creating new certificates foR weeks, because the process drives me nuts! (I'm just a designer.)
Thank you ADOBE for making the certificate instructions in the companion guides better...too bad this bug had me just about pulling my hair out because I know I was following the directions step by step!

Invalid device in Apple push notification

We have done an apple push notification for an iphone application and its working fine.Using the APNs certificate, it is displaying the push message. Suppose the corresponding application is uninstalled from a particular device and I don't want to push the message to that device any more. How could I identify whether the device to which the messages are send is valid?
Any sample CF code or link for this is appreciated.

Greetings Prem garigapati,

Problems with iPod Touch- YouTube and Push Notifications

After installing iOS4 on my 64gb iPod Touch I've noticed I cannot view YouTube videos and push notifications do not work.
The YouTube app launches, however if I try to search or play a video a pop up will read "Cannot connect to YouTube". If I go to YouTube's newly redesigned mobile site they work fine.
Although all my settings are the same as they have ever been, push notifications do not work. When launching any app with push notification support it always states "Connect to iTunes to use push notifications". I've done this, but nothing works.
For the record, I've never jailbroken or in any other way altered my device. I've tried performing a hard reset with no success, as well as letting the battery drain completely and shutting off before recharging.
Thanks for any help.

Downgrading is not supported by Apple.
Try:
- 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.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Manage Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Android devices not getting push notifications after a while

We have just installed a new Exchange 2013 setup and started to move mailboxes across. Users that have Android devices though are noticing that push notifications are not reaching them and checking in the ECP I can see their last sync times are a long time
ago!
If they restart their devices then the sync occurs and push notifications work for about half a day then stop again.
We have no issues with any iOS devices getting push notifications. We have a range of Android JellyBean and KitKat deployed so not looking device related. If I turn off push notification on the Android device and force a manual sync every 5 minutes that
works and currently seems to be my workaround. But this will drain the battery quicker now.
The flow of notification would be simple, Exchange2013 > Firewall > Internet > Device
Anyone else experiencing issues like this and know what to check? We have checked all networking aspects and its not a network/firewall issue.

After hours of searching online and testing and troubleshooting I found the issue actually was affecting push notifications to all mobile devices on Exchange 2013 where their mailboxes had been migrated recently from Exchange 2010.
There is a bug in Exchange 2013 CU5 which I am on which causes issues after mailbox migrations and requires the ActiveSync app pool in IIS to require a restart after mailbox moves to function correctly.
After I completed an iisreset within a command prompt on the CAS server everything started working for push notifications.
Lets hope this gets fixed in CU6!

What's the difference between "local reminder" and "push notification?

A friend has been bugging me about this, does anyone know what's the difference between "local reminder" and "push notification" in an iPhone app?

In a nutshell, local notifications are popup notifications from applications on your phone, based on data that's already on the local phone. Push notifications are popup notifications you get when new info (like an email, tweet, or update from something like Facebook) gets pushed to your device from a server.

IOS 7.0.3 upgrade killed Facetime, iMessage and Push Notifications

Facetime, iMessage and Push Notifications were working fine on my iPhone 4.
Since I upgraded to iOS 7.0.3 Facetime and iMessages cannot be activated because of 'Network error' and every app that supports 'Push Notifications' suggest to 'Connect to iTunes to use Push Notifications' at start.
Already tried to 'Reset as new phone' and restore from iCloud without any luck.
Suggestions ?

Ever since I got the 7.0.3 update on my iPhone 4 I get the "iMessage Activation: Could not sign in. Please check your network conection and try again". I can access icloud stuff using my apple ID fine elsewhere. I received iMessages on my laptop through the Messages app but anyone else who uses Messages has their iMessage sent to my laptop and not to my phone. I used to get the messages both at the same time.
I've tried removed the locate iphone app, reset the network settings, rebooted the phone, reconnected to my wifi and synched with iTunes. Nothing has worked.
I'm getting ready to restore the phone now in hopes that doing that works. Never had a problem with updates till now and while this is annoying at least my data is intact!

IMessage and push notifications not working after installing iOS 7!!

My iMessages and push notifications don't work after installing iOS7..!!! I can't even log in to iMessages using my Apple ID.. And every time I log into Facebook or whatsapp it keeps telling me to connect to iTunes to receive push notifications..!!
I connected to iTunes on my comp and tried resetting my phone.. Nothing works!! HELP

Its stuffed, iMessage and facetime are both sitting on "waiting for activation" so they are not working, 1 post suggested resetting the phone again setting up as a new phone and then turning iMessage and Facetime on and then restoring. After the reset iMessage and Facetime started working, I did the restore and it stopped working again. Nice waste of 2 hours.

Thanko vibrating bracelet and push notifications

Friend of mine recently received a Thanko bluetooth bracelet that vibrates when a paired iPhone receives a phone call. She had a problem with it, however, and we've been e-mailing back and forth trying to figure out why it wasn't vibrating. Turns out she was expecting it to also vibrate when a new e-mail came in, which the bracelet isn't designed to do.
But that got me to thinking...why not? A bracelet that vibrated when a push notification came in would be tremendously useful. I can't think of how many times I've had my iPhone charging in the bedroom while I'm in the kitchen and when e-mail, sms messages, and yes, even phone calls, came in, I didn't hear them. People who carry their phones in a bag, like my wife, would also find such a thing useful.Such a device would also be useful for receiving news and e-bay auction alerts and video/facebook/skype notifications, too.
Does anyone know if the iPhone can send push notifications (i.e, vibrate or beep) to a bluetooth device?

Greetings rusfrco,
After reading your post, it sounds like you are experiencing an error with app updates app on your iPad. You may want to consider restarting the device first, and then resetting if that does not work. This article provides detailed instructions for Restarting, and Reseting:
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
How to restart
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on the top of your device until the red slider appears. Then drag the slider to turn your device completely off.
After the device turns off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until you see the Apple logo.
How to reset
You should reset your device as a last resort and only if you can't restart it.
To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities,

Ipod Touch 2G and Push Notifications not working

Hello,
I did a full restore to firmware 3.0 on my touch 2g, wiped everything, then proceded to install some apps that support push, and they don't appear to be working. Yes, I'm testing with push enabled apps (AIM), and Push on Settings is turned on. I tried rebooting, iTunes doesn't detect any problem, everything appears OK, but no Push Notifications whatsoever.
Any help ?
Thank you !
ps: I can provide the Serial Number and UDID that iTunes shows for this device if necessary.

It is either a problem of the earphone jack of the iTouch or the plug of the earphones, have you tried another earphones, if the problem still there, send your iTouch for service

IOS 4 and Push Notifications?

Are push notifications finally supported on SLS now that iOS 4.0 has been released?
Message was edited by: Rusty Ross

shrugs
Works on the iPhone and iPod (running OS 3.1.3) I tested. Believe me, you almost have to have the SLS machine sitting on a public IP for everything to work correctly, but it does appear to work for us (20+ iPhone/iPod/iPad users, 50+ laptop/desktop clients). SSL is an absolute requirement for all services, and you must use the FQDN for all services when configuring the clients. Users should be shortname@FQDN when configuring services on the clients. Reverse DNS must match forward DNS (FQDN) for the server, and the SSL certificate also must match the FQDN of the server. Aliases make a huge mess of things (IMHO), so I don't use them.
Everything still works on the iPhones and iPods running iOS 4, but it seems the push notifications are a bit slower for some reason in iCal. I was messing with the iPod this morning using iCal, and noticed an update made to a calendar from a desktop took a couple minutes to appear on the iPod. Still much faster than the 30 minute "pull" interval configured on the iPod for services that do not support push.

Apple push notification certificate expiration is 10 days away how do i renew

how do i renew

Server.app > select the server at the top of the left column > select Settings > select the Edit button to the right of enable Apple Push Notification > select Renew.
FWIW, I've previously logged an enhancement request with Apple, as this mechanism involves certificates, and isn't available on the certificates page within Server.app, nor is there a way to access the settings from the alert. This renewal mechanism just isn't as easy to find as it should be. You're not the first to be confounded by this stuff, in other words.

Device Enrollment - Error: The server certificate for "myserver" is invalid?

Hello,
I am attempting to enroll my iPhone in the Lion Server Profile Manager. I have aquires and SSL certificate on my Lion Server but do not have a code signing certificate. From my iPhone, I can log into http://myserver.mydomain.lan/mydevices and log in using my AD credentials when I try to install the Device Enrollment Profile I am prompted with the following message: The server certificate for "https://myserver.mydomain.lan/devicemanagment/api/device/ota_service" is invalid.
Not sure how to get around this...
I am using AD with an extended schema and was not sure if MDM absolutely requires OD credentials or if I could use my AD credentials when enrolling a device. I was also unsure if I needed the code signing certificate which appears to be a bit pricey from Go-Daddy. I am just test bedding MDM and do not wish to go through the expense of a code signing certificate at this point.
Has anyone else encountered this problem?
Thanks,
Ray

Not sure if this will help, but we encountered the same problem. Our workaround was to click on the "Profiles" tab & install the Trust Profile first (not the Everyone Profile) and then enroll the device. That seemed to work, but I don't know what's causing that error message. Hopefully someone with more knowledge than me can answer that one.
