Work with what on ATV? If you can get a current enough version of iOS to support AirPlay that would work. The Remote app would work. What are you specificly asking about?

How does apple Configurator Backup App data? Or does it at all?

Hello,
I use Apple Configurator at two schools. All of the iPads that the schools own are supervised via Apple Configurator.
How does the backup feature work in Apple Configurator? I know it backs up folders and photos and videos. But does it backup app data? And how?
I understand that apps themselves are not backed up. But if an iPad is completely wiped / restored via apple configurator / apps are put back on / then backup is restored.... when does the app data get re-applied (if it does at all?)
Mac OS 10.9.4
Apple Configurator Version 1.5 (424)
I know iTunes can backup and restore app data. My question is does Apple Configurator do it? And how / what is the best way?
Thank you.

When you boot yoru iMac, if you hold down the option key, at the boot meny, do you have an option for "Network" booting If so, then your machine didn't come with an install disc, it allows for internet restore form Apple servers (although it will need to perform the 4.7GB download if you use it).
If you run the Boot Camp Assistant, you should be presented with an option to download the windows support files from Apple servers. For machines which didn't come with install/restore discs, this is the way to get the files you need.

What browsers and what versions of those browsers does Apple support on the iPad?

I need to be sure I can get help if I need it. Other big companies (who shall remain unnamed at this time) have a policy of what they test with, and how many versions back they support. Is there anything like this for Apple? We're getting our team iPads and I want to make sure everyone can get help if they need it as I won't have control over what the download, etc.

The only browser that Apple supports for OS X and iOS is Safari. On a new purchase, you'll get free support from Apple for 90 days.
You get support from us iPad users 24/7. Unless an iPad is jailbroken (you don't want to do this), the only place where you can download apps is Apple's app store. Apple has verified that the apps don't have a virus or malware, so you don't need any antivirus app on the iPad.
One thing that iOS doesn't have on the iPad is Flash for viewing some types of videos,
Adobe has not made a version of Flash for the iPad.

When does Apple support Khmer in iPad, iPhone & iPod?

Cambodians are frustrated waiting for Apple to add Khmer support for years. Why? When? What?

We are fellow users on here, we won't know when Khmer might be supported until if/when Apple announce something. You can try leaving feedback for Apple via this page : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

Does Apple buy back your iPad Mini... if you bought it from Target?

I bought an iPad Mini (White, 16GB, Wi-Fi) from Target a few months ago. The first month, I used it a lot, and was in love with it....but now, I do not have the need or use for it. I found myself only using it for Facebook and Twitter. The iPad is in Very good condition, no scratches, has a good screen protector on it, never been dropped...still have the box and all. So the million dollar question is... Would Apple buy this iPad Mini from me? Or is there a Legit place to sell it?

Your only option is to sell the iPad.

No; they have only the 16GB model, unless they have other models available as refurbished units.

What kind of configuring does Apple do when buying an iPad?

I've noticed that when you buy an iPad-mini Retina wi-fi + cellular at store.apple.com, and you select the options that you want, that the following statement appears when you select the carrier:
"Your iPad will be configured to operate with the carrier you choose right out of the box."
What kind of configuring is going on here? Does Apple simply use the iPad itself to fill in the Cellular Data settings for the chosen carrier and perhaps edit the APN appropriately? Or is there more to it than that? If so, what?
As part of this step does Apple insert the appropriate nano-sim card into the iPad tray before it is shipped to the buyer?
Thanks,
Eric

Hi Eric,
I bought an iPad Air 64 GB Verizon Cellular. When I received it I set it up then called verizon. The iPad was ready to connect to Verizon and I could add it to my plan. The cellular setup took about 5 minutes, most of that was a reboot while it propagated itself onto the verizon network. The sim was already installed and the iPad was easy to configure.
That beats the heck out of driving 6o miles, in my case, to a verizon store, getting a sim, setting up the iPad and driving home another 60 miles.

My Question: plugged in to WHAT? locked, HOW? and how to connect to Wi-Fi when my iPad does not respond to anything I do with it? PLEASE HELP.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Hold Sleep and Home buttons for 10 seconds until your device restarts, so you will be able to use the iPad again.
The iPad makes a backup into iCloud automatically when it's connected to the network and it is been charged

Where does Apple Configurator store backups?

I'm trying to identify where Apple Configurator store the individual backups of iPads etc.
I've had a backup fail and I while I have deleted it from within AC I haven't gained any space back so would like to go and manually delete the backup.

How to import an iPad backup from one apple configurator to another
1) connect a properly set up iPad to its source computer, and create a new backup, even if you already have one.
2) open ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.configurator/Data/Library/Application Support/com.apple.configurator/Resources
those are the backups that have been made. more may be listed here than in configurator. they are zip files of the backups
also found in mobilesync. there should be one just created now. that’s your backup. (the ones in mobilesync are not usable)
3) copy the newest one to removable storage and connect storage to the target computer
4) attach an iPad that goes with the target computer to the target computer and make a backup there also. name it as you want the backup you are importing.
5) open that same folder on target computer and locate newest backup.
6) copy file name, and rename the one on removable storage to that same name
7) drop (replace) file on target computer
8) select the backup you just created to be the restore image for that iPad
9) you will have to click Restore to save. it may not change anything on the iPad (do not be alarmed)
10) check configurator prefs and make sure ‘restore when attached” and “restore default data” are both checked
11) unplug and replug the iPad
it should definitely do a proper “Restoring Settings” now, and you will see the image has successfully been copied. It can now be
selected as the restore image for any additional iPads on the target computer.
For some reason, manually clicking Refresh at the bottom doesn’t usually work right after replacing an image.
YMMV if there is significant differences between the two computers doing the configurator management.
(this is in answer to the question I was trying to find an answer for earlier, found it myself, hope this helps other admins)
to free space, also look:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.configurator/Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.config urator (contains TWO hidden firmware folders)
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.configurator/Data/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup (MANY backups)

HT204053 I changed my apple id, but my ipad does not allow me to change it for Icloud, so I can't edit my account so I can access Icloud. I was told at Apple store that I could use both Apple ids, but my old one is no longer recognized. Any suggestions?

I changed my apple id, but my ipad does not allow me to change it for Icloud, so I can't edit my account so I can access Icloud. I was told at Apple store that I could use both Apple ids, but my old one is no longer recognized on the appleid website, so my password for my old apple id won't work.
Any suggestions?

If you only changed the name of your ID rather than creating a new ID, just go to Settins>iCloud and tap Delete Account then sign back in with the new name. (Deleting the account from your phone does not delete it from iCloud. Your data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.)
If you created a new ID, you'll have to go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and turn all data you are syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off. When prompted choose to keep the data on your iPhone. (If you are syncing iWork documents with iCloud, also open your iWork apps and turn off iCloud syncing and choose to keep the documents on your phone.) After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. Next, set up a new iCloud account using your other ID, then turn syncing for your data (contacts, etc.) back to On. When prompted, choose Merge. This will upload the data to your new account.
You won't lose any photos in your camera roll or photo library. If you have any photos in your photo stream that are over 30 days old that are not in your camera roll or saved on your computer, be sure to save these to the camera roll before deleting the account. To do so, open the photo stream album on your iPhone in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos you need to save to select them, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.
