Failure Enrolling iPads/iPhones in MDM via Apple Configurator

I'm having problems enrolling our loaner iDevices into our MDM server at my work. I'll start with the basic specs and then describe what happens.
We have a Mac Pro running Mavericks 10.9.4 and OS X Server 3.1.2.
I am using Profile Manager with 1 Enrollment Profile. It does not have any restrictions on devices with placeholders. Profile Manager is using a Code Signing Certificate. We are not currently using the Device Enrollment Program, or the Volume Purchase Program.
Now, the machine that is running Apple Configurator is an older iMac running Mavericks 10.9.5 with Apple Configurator version 1.6.
So, I plug in my 1st Generation loaner iPad Mini, and use the following Settings in Configurator:
I have a name entered, supervision on, a backup set to restore that organizes the position of the Apps that are installed, and three profiles.
     1. A Trust profile that is necessary to connect to the MDM server
     2. The Actual Enrollment Profile
     3. A Wi-Fi Network settings profile
Now, when I prepare the device, everything goes through just fine, except at the very end when it fails. The failure is a "MCInstallationErrorDomain 4001" error that looks like this:
It seems that it's complaining that the iPad isn't' activated. The weird thing though is that if I just go to the MDM website and enroll manually with the iPad, it goes through just fine. The problem just seems to be with Apple Configurator. Also, none of my Mac machines every have any problem enrolling.
Any help would be appreciated.

As it turns out the problem was the backup. I had made the mistake of attempting to restore an iPad 2 backup onto an iPad Mini. That does not work. I just selected do not restore backup and everything went through fine. I guess I'll just have to make a backup for each model of iPad.

  • How to exchange a new iphone 6 plus via apple store?

    I brought a new iphone 6 plus via apple store, but the SIM card cannnot insert to the new iphone 6 plus and how to exchange a new one?

    Go back to the store and ask them to exchange it. If you mean you bought it online, either find a local Apple Store, or call your country's AppleCare line for help.
    What SIM card are you trying to insert? Are you sure it's the right size? Iphone 6 takes nano SIM size.

  • HT201092 EAS Email Profile via Apple Configurator

    Does anyone knows if it's possible on an iOS 8 device to switch off the option "Encryption by default" and keep the end user's encryption cert available? When this is done via Apple Configurator the cert disappears and Per Message option cannot be used.

    I had the exact same problem and was deleting the profile manually...huge time waste.  Called the Apple support with another problem and they told me when the iPads are synced the last thing they do is put the profiles onto the iPad.
    If your profile you have loaded onto the iPad already doesn't allow downloading apps and such, the profile already being on the iPad won't let you install apps.
    So the solution is to do a double sync.  UNCHECK the profile that is on each iPad and do a quick sync to delete the profile.  Then get all apps ready and such including imagines/restore backup, then check the profile you want back on the iPad and do another sync.
    Worked for me and saved TONS of time.

  • I have set up our school ipads to be supervised by Apple Configurator and am using VPP to buy apps.  I now find the supervised ipads do not allow the pupils to download photos or movies etc. Any suggestions would be great please.

    I have set up our school ipads to be supervised by Apple Configurator and am using VPP to buy apps. I did this initially as our school internet connection was stopping us from being able to update the IOS and our County was offering a managed system, Lightspeed, which took control of every device in school which proved very expensive.  I now find the supervised ipads do not allow the pupils to download photos or movies etc. As we frequently use the ipads as cameras this is causing us a problem. We have a school imac that I use to keep the devices updated with Apple Configurator (not connected to our network), and this doesn't seem to offer any solution to download them either.  I was told there was a setting in Apple Configurator to allow other computers to download from supervised devices, but I can't see it anywhere.  I am very new to this so any advice or help would be greatly appreciated please.

    I assume you are wanting to take the photos and movies off the iPads?
    Connect the iPad to a Apple computer. Open "Image Capture". Any photos or video can me imported to the desktop or other location on your computer.
    I had this same problem last year and as we have no wifi I asked lots of people at Apple what I could do - no one provided this answer (a little unbelievable!). If you have wifi using something like dropbox would be an easier solution.
    Hope this helps

  • I manage 60 ipads for a school using Apple Configurator. Need to update to iOS7 and AC1.4.3...Is it best to use Mountain Lion or Mavericks, as I also need to update from Lion 10.7 for the new AC and iOS to work properly.

    I always run a Time Machine backup before updating anything and recommend you run a backup as well. Paid apps should migrate over without any problem. If you have problems with VPP codes not transfering over properly, you can talk to your Apple SE or contact VPP for Education support and they can help you. While I haven't experienced any problems with updating, its never a guarantee that others will have the same experience.
    Good luck!

  • Just bought ATV. hope http proxy setting will be in UI instead of via apple configurator

    i just bought apple TV and loaded latest firmware 5.2.
    from the knowledge base, understand that http proxy can be setup via apple configurator after ver 5.1.
    it can only be installed in MAC.
    i am really hope your developer team could bring the said function out to user interface instead of going through all the hassle.
    looking forward for your early reply

    Thanks for the idea. I had already thought about using aliases but that wouldn't stop the Application folder showing a looooooooooong list o applications. As I said, having things clear is just a crazy habit of mine. Now that I know the trick I will just "survive" having FCS applications in their default location. I know I'm the only one here doing things differently. It's just that I have never had that problem with any other application and it was turning me crazy.
    By the way, if anyone would like to use aliases, using an underscore as the first characters help having things on top of the list. For instance, the alias "_Multimedia" would appear before "Adobe".

  • Can i backup iPad/iPhone to device via internet?

    My MybookLiveDual is connected to internet via router at home. Can i backup selected files on my iPad remotely to the device via internet? I would like to do this while traveling if possible.

    Of course you can backup iPhone to device via Internet just simply using iCloud. Indeed, iCloud provides easy way to backup iPhone.Go to Settings>iCloud and then scroll down to Backup.Here you can turn backups on and initiate a new backup immediately. If this is your first iCloud backup it might take a while to complete. Once the backup is complete, though, your iPhone will automatically backup when idle for an extended period of time and on an active wi-fi network. Of course, it is also simple to restore to other devices from iCloud after resetting your phone and choose "backup from iCloud".

  • IPad golden image distribution on Apple Configurator

    Hi All,
    Appreciate if someone could shed some light on this.
    We are currently using Apple Configurator to supervise iPads using a "golden image" created from the master iPad.
    As our company expands, there is a need to supervise iPads on other sites using their own Macbooks.
    In this case, we are wondering if there is a way to distribute the iPad "golden image" to the other sites, so
    they could use the exact same iPad settings as ours.
    Thanks for any input

  • Installing Apps (free and paid) via Apple Configurator?

    Background:
    I'm a Mac novice (15+ years Windows background), so I'm probably missing something obvious - please bear with me.
    We're running latest Mac OS (10.8.2) and latest iOS (6.1) iPads & iPhones).
    I'm trying to set up a batch of iPhones & iPads for a business.  We'll have several with very similar profiles (e.g. Sales Rep1, Sales Rep 2 etc), and it looks like Apple Configurator is the tool do help with this.
    First up - is there a basic user guide for this?  That tells me what I can and can't actually expect to be able to do with the configurator app?
    Secondly - I'm led to believe I can use this to bulk install a load of apps (free and/or paid). I can see how to drag the apps into the configurator, but no matter what I do next, the apps don't install onto the device.  I hit apply / prepare / check out, whatever - nothing seems to do it.
    So far I'm just playing with it to get my head around how it all works, so the only apps I've been trying this with are free ones (e.g. Adobe Reader / Chrome).
    Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
    Thanks    

    FYI - I figured it out.  All you have to do is highlight the app you want removed and then go up to edit and delete from there.

  • Apple Configurator / iTunes unable to restore iPhone 4s after update, Apple Configurator / iTunes unable to restore iPhone 4s after update

    Apple Configurator will not restore any iPhone 4S after the latest update (ERROR: Unable to prepare)and iTunes gives the error 3194.  But all usual 3194 fixes don't work and this happens exclusively on the 4S.
    Tested on 15 different iPhone 4S's
    Using 4 Mac Minis and 8 different Windows 7 machines.
    Hosts files have not been altered.
    Latest version of iTunes / Configurator on all.
    Both have been removed and reinstalled.
    No dice.

    Ok, well after two days of recieving nothing but the usual generic template response from the "support team" the only thing i was sure of was that my original message had not been read at all.
    I was able to fix the issue myself though, so i'll leave this here in case someone else is unfortunate enough to have the same issue:
    It appears for whatever reason Apple Configurator removed the previous versions of iOS itself before attempting to download iOS 7, the only conclusion i could draw was that for whatever reason the download failed and i was left without a firmware file both the iPhone 4S and the iPhone 5.  Older handsets were unaffected. 
    To fix this, simply download the firmware from http://www.ipswdownloader.com/
    Then (if you're on a Mac) navigate to: Library/Containers/com.apple.configurator/Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.configu rator/Firmware and copy the new .ipsw into that folder.
    Restart configurator and you will be good to go.
    Porbably worth mentioning I spoke to my colleages in the US and they we're having the exact same issue ever since last weeks Configurator upgrade so why the support team are still sending templates out asking users to go on a wild goose chase with things like "Are you SURE you have the latest version of "XYZ" are you SURE you have rebooted the machine, are you SURE blah blah blah"
    YES.  I'm sure.  I know what i'm talking about, I work in the industry and this is not another generic fault and you do not have a fix published yet.
    How about listening to what the users are ACTUALLY saying before emailing this rubbish out?
    /Rant.

  • Cannot install apps via apple configurator 1.1

    error message that apple configurator "can't install app", tooltip that "an unknown error message "install prohibited" was received from the device".
    Computer is authorized, app is free (iwritewords free version), ipad is supervised.  Have tried multiple apps, clearing and restoring supervision, clearing and restoring apps from configurator.  same error everytime.
    Trying to determine if it is viable to deploy iPads as childrens games stations in public library branches.

    What a big huge hairy deal. I had the same problem and came here to find solutions. Based on what was said, this is what I tried and what worked for me...
    Even though I had the setting to remove profiles that AC didn't install, I checked the profiles and the student restrictions profile that prevents installing apps was still on there. So I guess even though I'd unchecked it, AC didn't remove it. I consider that a bug. But I digress...
    I manually removed every profile on the iPad directed excect the one that says it's supervised and then refreshed in AC. That worked. So I won't have to uncheck and recheck all apps (which I tried and didn't work for me) but I *WILL* have to manually remove that student restriction profile on every single device. Grrr!! I'm considering NOT putting that one back. The iTunes store is blocked in our district filter for students anyway. I can't imaging having to manually remove that profile on every device every time I want to add a new app or update. Insane.

  • I am aware that many people, like me, have lost the ability to mirror their iPad, iPhone or computer with Apple TV.  Has anyone yet found a solution?  One day it worked, the next day the option to switch between the device and Apple TV had disappeared.

    Has anyone managed to resolve the problems encountered with Apple TV and the loss of ability to mirror iphones, ipads or computers?  One day it was working perfectly, from all the above devices, the next the option to switch between playing on the device or mirroring to apple tv had disappeared.  I have tried all the obvious such as updating iTunes, turning all devices off and then back on, but nothing is working.  Help please!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Your problem is most certainly network related, you might try restarting your devices including your router as a temporary solution, but in the long term would be better correcting the problems with your network.
    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first.
