Harddrive and Apple configurator

I am trying to get 2 carts of Ipods up and running for our support services dept. I am using apple configurator. I have tried making a back up copy of a ready iPod and pushing it out to the others in the cart. The back up file is 16Gb. This fills up my hardrive during the prepare phase. I have also tried to push the content to the app through assign feature with the same results. My question is does apple configurator make a back up copy of each individual iPod, or does it just use the original to build the others? is there a way to remedy this problem? I am using one of the new mac book pros with the 256 SSD drive

My understanding is you need to have deployed in supervisor mode on the ipad to get the code back.  You may want to talk to your apple salesperson to discuss alternative ways of getting the codes back.

  • Looking for feedback using Power Sync cart and apple configurator

    I am looking at mass deploying iPads using the Bretford PowerSync Cart and Apple Configurator.  Need information on how long it takes to fully power and sync units?

    You might try a Google search. Here's one I found.

  • Recently updated MBP and Apple Configurator. Since updating the Update iOS option for Apple Configurator forces me to update the iOS. Thoughts?

    I have a MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013)
    Processor: 2.3 Ghz Intel Core i7
    Memory: 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Graphics: Intel Iris Pro 1536 MB
    OS: OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.1
    Apple Configurator
    Version 1.7.1 (550)
    Since upgrading both the OS and Apple Configurator I can no longer select the option to not update the iOS when I prepare a device. It is currently selected as When update is available. Also the option appears to be grayed out. Any thoughts?

    Google maps is now available in the app store and the carrier update that your refering to was for cell data usage while on wifi. It is perfectly fine to do the update. No issues that i had from that update.

  • Provisioning Profiles and Apple Configurator

    I try to install a provisioning profile (a .mobileprovision file) using Apple Configurator and I find no way of importing it into Configurator.
    Apples PDF "Deploying iPhone and iPad - Apple Configurator" says I can use provisionong profiles with Configurator.
    What am I doing wrong?

    With this I can import configuration profiles (*.mobileconfig), but not the provisioning profile (*.mobileprovision).
    The profile I am using is probably fine, as it is working in iTunes. It is used to enable enterprise Apps.

  • Update to 10.9.1 whips out Server and Apple Configurator Settings

    I just updated my mac Mini Server that was already running Mavericks and Server App.  When the reboot was done and I started the server is was like I had just installed the app.  All the cache and settings were gone.  Went to use Apple Configurator.  Same thing.  All profiles and managed devices and groups are gone.  Is there anyway to get these configurations back?

    Actually, this is an id10T mistake.  I rebooted to the wrong hard drive.  Please disregard this problem.  It is solved.

  • Ipad deployment and apple configurator is slowing down

    I'm new to deploying iPads and have loaded about 50 so far with 200 more to go. I loaded 30 in my cart but after about 20, apple configurator is running so slow  especially when I get to the assign mode. And actually right now, the configurator program opens slowly. What did I do wrong and how can I fix this? Please help as I need to have these done by Tuesday.

    See if the IOS 8.0.2 update helps.

  • Folders on Ipad and Apple Configurator Backups

    I can't get my backup in the apple configurator to include the folders with all the apps.  I have my ipad the way i want it and now I want to distribute it to other ipads.  I backup but the apps don't come with.  What am I doing wrong?

    I would suggest trying it again, perhaps give your backup a different name from the device that you're backing up.  I went through several tries with folders and app positions not being restored, but eventually it started working.  I'm still very confused by some of the things that Apple Configurator is doing, but I'll plugging away until I figure out exactly how to use it.

  • Imovie and apple configurator

    Looking for help! Does anyone know how you can get a movie off your ipad if it is supervised by apple configurator? We have several students who are using the same ipads. Each kid is making a short movie, but we can't figure out how to get them off the ipads since they are supervised by the configurator. Not sure what step to take to make this work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    You would be wanting VPP codes (volume purchasing plan).Here is where you want to go: http://www.apple.com/education/it/vpp/
    Enroll and setup which app or apps you want. After purchasing, apple will send you a vpp spreadsheet that you import into configurator. The guide at the site listed above will help.

  • ITouches and Apple Configurator

    I am having trouble getting my 2nd generation iTouches to work with Apple Configurator. Will Configurator work with 2nd Gen? 4.2.1 OS?

    When supervisor is picked as an option for preparation I get the error message "Supervision Failed". When Supervision is turned off my iPod Touch's will almost install and then "time out". Will not load apps designated for the profile that was setup for them. Thanks for any help.

  • IOS6 and Apple Configurator

    I updated my iOS devices to 6 using apple configurator.  The devices updated no problem, but the apps won't lay down.  Now they act like a restored device and I have to start all over.  Configurator is also not laying down profiles. 

    If you did not restore a backup as part of the configuration for the devices in Configurator, you will need to complete the setup assistant on each device manually. If you are not supervising the devices, profiles will not install until you complete the assistant. Apps should install fine in either case, though. How do you know they are not being installed?
    Can you be more specific about the configuration you are applying to the devices?

  • VPP and Apple Configurator

    We started our iPad deployment with just a few iPads.  We bought some VPP and use them to install apps on a few devices.  Now we have added to the group of iPads to make it a cart of 20.  We are going to start using configurator to setup and manage them.  Is it possible to take the codes we have used on the first iPads and move them over to Apple Configurator so we can deploy the apps that way?

    My understanding is you need to have deployed in supervisor mode on the ipad to get the code back.  You may want to talk to your apple salesperson to discuss alternative ways of getting the codes back.

  • IOS 7 and Apple Configurator

    Hello Everyone,
    So I know I am not the first person with these problems. I have been unable to add/change profiles on any student iPad. I've also been unable to install new apps either. Apple Configurator is stating that the profile says apps cannot be installed, even though that isn't the case.
    At this point, I can't make any changes to any settings on any iPad on our carts. Is there a solution that I don't know about? Is there a fixi coming out in the next couple of days for this?

    I don't think it will allow you to connect to a PC, only to a Mac.  this is only for the task of downloading pictures or videos.  It serves no other purpose that I'm aware of.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5895
    There is no mention of this working with PC and since Apple Configurator is Mac only, then when you activate Supervised mode, you are restricted to that particular Mac, except for transferring images and videos.
    I hope this helps.

  • DCIM and Apple Configurator

    Hi
    We have 16 Ipads that I've wiped using Apple Configurator. The kids have taken lots of pictures on the Ipads but to my amazement I can't now browse the DCIM folder when connecting them via USB.
    Please can someone advise me how I can get these pictures off the Ipads..........also can we simply not browse to them anymore? Some people suggest setting up Dropbox or Icloud but before I go down this route I need some advice.
    Thanks for your time.

    When devices are supervised you loose access to camera roll
    via iTunes sync from the any machines that did not supervise the devices
    You used to be able to get the photos using supervising machine
    I'm not sure if this has changed with later versions of configurator
    You could email the photos from the iPads or use cloud based option such as
    Dropbox etc
    There are free iOS file sharing apps such as files connect which let you browse network shares such as AFP SMB
    WebDAV. Files connect has access the ios device camera roll
    However I have not tried on supervised devices

  • 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 manage 60 ipads for a school using Apple Configurator. Need to update my devices to iOS7 and Apple Configurator to 1.4.3...Is it best to use Mountain Lion or Mavericks, as I also need to update from Lion 10.7 for the new Apple Configurator and iOS7 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!

  • Why I can't import iMovie into Apple Configurator without asking me for more codes. If iMovie is free, and I upgraded the latest version and to Yosemite.

    Previously, our school bought a number of codes for iMovie. One of our MacAirs that supervises some iPads through Apple Configurator showed that it was free. However, another Mac Air did not saying that I needed to import more codes. I upgraded everything, software, iMovie in iTunes, and Apple Configurator. Everytime I upload iMovie into Configurator it shows I only have 2 codes, while on the other MacAir, it shows it as free.

    Can I import photos from iPhoto ('08; 7.1.5) into latest version of Aperture without upgrading my iPhoto to the iPhoto '11 version?
    To elaborate a bit on TD's answer:
    You can import only folders of images or selected image files that have been exported from older iPhoto libraries, not the libraries themself.
    Aperture 3.4.5 cannot work with iPhoto Libraries that have not been upgraded to iPhoto 9.4. or later at all:
    You cannot open them in Aperture:
    And you cannot import them as a library to create an Aperture library from the older iPhoto Library.
    Without upgrading to iPhoto '11 your only option would be to export your original images and the edited versions from iPhoto '08 and to import the folders of images into Aperture. That would be a lot of work, a waste of disk space, and break the lossless workflow.  You will clutter your Aperture library with duplicates (version and edite image) that are no proper original-version pairs.
    For a smooth transit from iPhoto to Aperture I strongly recommend to bite the bullet and to upgrade to iPhoto '11  to upgrade your iPhoto libraries to the new version 9.4.3 to preserve all the previous work - albums, books, ratings - you have done in iPhoto.
