Disable iOS Update when preparing devices from backup on Apple Configurator 1.7

Hi,
I am preparing a large number of iPads and I have been using Apple Configurator for a long time now. Since Apple Configurator 1.7 i am encountering one particular issue.
But with this new version I am having some problem with the Update iOS feature...
In previous versions, when I would prepare iPads by restoring it from a single back-up, I could disable the Update iOS. As you can see in the following screenshots, when preparing an unsupervised iPad, I can choose Never Update Device, this happens when I do not restore a backup.
But when I restore a back up, I can no longer have the option to Never Update the Device...
How can I restore a backup to an ipad without updating an iPad to the latest iOS version?

I am looking for same functionality --Never update iOS-- but can't make it work in the Configurator.
I tried with a custom iOS selected & supervision switched on  in the Prepare tab.
then in the Supervise tab "never update iOS" is available, and I applied that.
But starting the Ipad after the Configurator wizard makes it possible for the user to do a software update.
Bummer !
Did you manage to solve this?

  • DAG - Backup failing on 1 DB only with error - The Microsoft Exchange Replication service VSS Writer instance ID failed with error code 80070020 when preparing for a backup of database 'DB012'

    Hi Board,
    i´ve search across the board, technet and symantec sites but did not found a hint about my problem.
    we drive a 2 node DAG (Location1-Ex1-mb1 
    Location2-exc1-mb1), on SP2 RU4 patchlevel with 40 Databases.
    Since some time the backup of one - and only one DB - is failing with these events, logged on the Mailboxserver on which the passive DB is hosted.

    to restart the MS Exchange Replication Service – BUT the mentioned eventID
    8229 isn´t present on any of the both Mailboxservers.
    The affected Database is active on Location2-Exc1-Mb1 Server and in an overall healthy state. I found during my research, that below Location2-Exc1-Mb1 Server, there are not removed shadow copies present!
    This confuses me, since all Backups are normally taken from the passive copy of a Database.
    So my questions to the board are:
    * Does anyone is facing similar issues?
    * Can someone explain why snapshots are present on the Mailboxserver hosting the Active Database, whilst the errors are logged on the passive one?
    -          * Does someone know the conditions, why shadows copies remain and
    aren´t removed in a proper manner?
    What can cause the circumstance, that only 1 DB is facing such issues?
    Any suggestion is welcome!

    Hi Lenora,
    I´ve encreases VSS / Exchange Backup Log levels to expert, before starting
    those things i´ve all tried now:
    - Backup from passive DB (forced within Symantec Backup Exec)
    - Backup from active DB (forced within Symantec Backup Exec)
    - Backup from passive DB without GRT enabled (forced within Symantec Backup Exec)
    - Backup from active DB without GRT enabled(forced within Symantec Backup Exec)
    All those attempts failed.
    But brought some more details - the backup against the active DB states, that there is still a backup in progress and therefore this backup is cancelled by VSS.
    The Solution was, that i´ve needed to restart the Exchange Replication Service on the Mailbox Server hosting the passive DB.
    Backups are working again on all DBs!
    THX for your replys.
    Best regards
    Markus

    The backup saves many settings, but it copies photos and other files from the computer back to the iPad after IOS5 wipes the disk.   Plugging it into her computer will re-sync it.

    No.  purchases are forever tied to the apple ID used to buy them.  Delete them and buy your own copies.

  • After restoring my device from backup, some of the apps I have purchased are missing in the purchase list

    Hi,
    i have backed up my device on iCloud and my computer.
    After restoring my device from backup, some of the apps I have purchased are missing in the purchase list.
    It seems that i need to pay for them again in order to purchase.
    Can you please help?
    Thanks,
    Shirley

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Have you checked they are still available in the App store.
    Did you purchase them all from the same account.

  • When plugging in an iPad in Apple Configurator, it is not being read under USB Connected so I can't update it.  Any ideas on how to get the system to read the iPad?

    When plugging in an iPad in Apple Configurator, it is not being read under USB Connected so I can't update it.  The iPhoto window opens up and reads the photos on the iPad, so it is connecting to the computer.  Earlier today I wasn't having any problems.  I have shut down the iPad and the computer and started over, but that didn't help.  Any ideas on how to get the system to read the iPad so I can update the apps on it?

    Hi, is the problem just to update your apps on your iPad? Here is what you should check. Is the iTunes on your computer updated to the latest version? Does your iPad needs to be updated? Do you have enough storage on your iPad to do the update? On your device is your iCloud back up checked?
    Go to Settings - iCloud - Backup/Storage - see if its checked, and try unchecking it before connecting it to the computer.
    Please let me know if you need any further assistance.

  • I'm trying to prepare some new iPads using Apple Configurator and the download of IOS8 failed.  The error in Apple Configurator is "Unable to download iOS 8.0. The firmware image was corrupted. Please retry the operation."

    The file name was iPad3,4_8.0_12A365_Restore.ipsw

    Thanks pvonk, I will try downloanding the book from the Iphone right now.......
    Just tried to download and it wants me to buy it again?  Is there some way around this?  I guess I thought that was the whole point of the cloud, buy it once and access from any of your devices right?
    Also, I have logged into the icloud.com as suggested and will plink around there for a bit and try to understand.  It is just all so dang different that what I am used to; Apple's way, that is.
    Thanks again for the Icloud tip and if you know of a way to download without making a 2nd purchase I would sure love to hear it!
    Geez. one other thing (I guess I am complaining) but I bought more space in the cloud, they took my cash fast enough but have not yet increase the size of my storage space yet?  Is Apple sometimes slow to get internal stuff done?

  • HT204291 No picture when mirroring airplay from iPhone to apple tv

    No picture when mirroring airplay from iPhone to apple tv

    Sorry, your profile says iPhone 4. Best to be specific or have things up to date in order to avoid misunderstandings and prompt assistance.
    In any case you are still using basic airplay. You need to enable mirroring and this cannot be done within an app.

  • HT200239 Are profiles now part of backups in apple configurator 1.3?

    Since profiles cannot be simultaneously applied to multiple unsupervised iPads, I am wondering if anyone has checked to see if profiles are now part of backups in Apple Configurator 1.3.

    Not sure if this will work, but here's what I would try if I was in your shoes… Try doing it in two steps. First install the wifi profile by itself. Wait till all iPads are done. Then add a checkmark next to the enrollment profile and refresh all iPads. Hope this helps! ~Joe

  • ITunes error -1 when restoring iPhone from backup after iOS5 update

    If no one can help me fix this hopefully somebody might at least be able to tell me what -1 error means!
    I have an iPhone 3GS and before i updated to iOS5 i upgraded my itunes on my Mac and synced and backed up everything. I did the iOS5 update which went fine and i have it installed on my phone. When i went to restore from backup it looked like it was working for 2mins then it comes up with the error message saying unable to restore from backup (-1). I have done this a good few times now all with the same result. Any suggestions? Everything has been completely wiped from my phone and im desperate to get it all back.

  • Trying to update new iPhone 5S from backup. Apps fail to move

    iPhone 4 ( Updated OS and did a backup before and after OS update)
    Got my new iPhone 5S. 
    Did a normal startup with new phone and selected to restore from backup that was done above.  (iTunes)
    Did this with the option of creating new phone and option of just doing the restore. 
    Tried erasing new phone again and did another backup of old phone.
    Did another startup on new phone. 
    Did another restore.
    Same results. Can't get apps to move over. No apps moved at all.
    PICS/Contacts/Phone calls/Txt messages.  All those moved.
    No apps whatsoever.  I'm sure I'm just not selecting something.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Regards,
    Terry

    I figured it out.
    I didn't have Apps in iTunes at all.
    I needed to move apps from phone to iTunes which I finally figured out.
    Once I did that I was able to sync the apps to new phone.
    instructions on doing this via this chat need to be clearer.
    I'm not an Apple super user and I didn't know I needed to move the apps. I thought hitting sync would work. That only works to move apps from iTunes to device.  At least that's the way it seems.

  • Iphone 4s fails to restart after installing ios 5.1 & then restoring from backup ?

                                            I have restored My Iphone 4s to Os 5.1 Yesterday ... every thing went fine ..... at the time of restoring it from my previous backup ........ iphone fails to restart ..... it is in continous loop of apple logo and busy icon thereafter .. can anybody help ????

    In that case, if everything else has failed, you can restore your iPhone by putting it in to DFU mode.
    Follow the steps precisely.
    1) Connect your phone to computer. Open iTunes (if it doesn't open automatically).
    2) Turn your phone off. Turn off the device by holding down the sleep/power button in the top right corner and Home button at the same time. A red slider will appear. Slide it to the right to turn off the device. Alternatively, keep holding both buttons even after the slider appears and the device will turn off. Let go of the buttons when the device powers down.
    3) Put iPhone into DFU mode. Hold down both the top (sleep/wake) and home buttons for exactly 10 seconds, then release the top (sleep/wake) button but keep holding the home button until iTunes displays a message stating that a phone in recovery mode has been discovered. Let go of the Home button.
    4) Device screen is Black. If your device's screen is black, you are in DFU Mode. It may appear that the device is turned off, but it's not. If your phone displays anything, you are not in DFU mode.
    5) Restore. Press the restore button and allow the phone to complete the restoration data. After it is done, select setup as a new phone. (Preferable)
    Restore your backup (optional). Next, you can restore the phone again in the normal fashion (not DFU mode) using the most recent backup rather than setting up as a new phone. However, this may cause the original problem to return in some cases. If the problem returns, follow steps 1-5 again and setup as new. Do not restore from your backup afterwards.

  • Disable facebook update when editing photos

    hi,
    Is there a way to disable automatic updates of photos which are part of a facebook album?
    The thing is, when I edit photographs to be used for other purposes, I find it automatically updates the image contained in the FB album as well (well, the facebook album within iPhoto seems to only contain links to the actual images in iPhoto) . Whilst I can see that that would make sense occasionally, and it sometimes is quite nice to get friends' comments on year old photographs, by and large I find it rather annoying. Duplicating images would be an option, but then I'd quite like to keep duplicates to a minimum.
    Is there a way to control the trigger-happy interaction between Fb and iPhoto a bit more?
    t

    In preferences you can set web syncing to manual
    But when you sync all edited photos will be synced
