How can I deploy an ipad app with preconfigured settings?

I am looking to deploy an app to an ipad cart and would like to configure the app settings prior to deployment so as not to have to set them on all ipads individually.  Is this possible with apple configurator or would I need an alternate MDM solution?

you can restore a backup from apple configurator of the ipad which you've configured the app and backed up which will restore some app preferences, depending on the app
you'll have to test it to see what works
normally passwords are not copied
you can also use itunes backup as well
OSX server MDM, profile manager allows custom profiles
which you maybe able to use to configure the app and push settings out to devices
I can't remember if apple configurator allows for custom settings

  • I want to update my ipad into ios5 how can i backup my ipad apps and song?

    please help me how can i backup my ipad apps and songs thank you...

    To update to iOS 5.0.1 you need iTunes 10.5 on your computer. When you've got iTunes 10.5 installed then connect your iPad to it and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases - that will copy off your apps and iTunes bought music, films (not rentals if they were bought directly on the iPad), tv show, ibooks, but it won't copy off music bought from other stores or music copied from your own CDs (if they are no longer on your computer then you will need to find a third-party program that can copy them off the iPad).
    You should also backup the device (right-click the iPad 'device' and select 'back up'), and copy off any important documents, files, notes etc (e.g. by email, the file sharing section at the bottom of the Apps tab in iTunes, wifi, whatever the apps that you use support) - the update process should backup and restore the content but it's best to be safe.
    If iTunes doesn't prompt you to update to iOS 5.0.1 on your iPad, then with your iPad connected to and selected on the left-hand side of it, then on the Summary tab on the right-hand side click the Check For Updates button.

  • How can I sync my iPad 2 with my new MacBook Pro when it is already synced with my old MacBook? I am getting a message on the new MacBook Pro that says I am not allowed to sync the iPad 2 because it is synced to another iTunes library.

    How can I sync my iPad 2 with my new MacBook Pro when it is already synced with my old MacBook? I am getting a message on the new MacBook Pro that says I am not allowed to sync the iPad 2 because it is synced to another iTunes library.

    1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPad but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPad with it.
    above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.

  • HT1311 How can I get updates for apps with new Apple ID

    How can I get updates for apps with new Apple ID. I have apps that I got for free, and some that I have purchased. I had to create a new Apple ID because I don't have a credit card now.

    Apps will always be tied to the ID in which they were purchased or downloaded under. You can not change this unless you buy or download the free  app using the new ID.

    How can I download a free app with an existing Apple ID without to give my credit card infos?! The ID ist already made...

    Sorry, but you can't. The process only works when creating a new Apple ID. With an existing ID you'll have to provide a payment method at least temporarily.

    Tammy,
    Unfortunately your iPhone is just a paper weight. Return it to the pawn shop for a refund.
    iCloud: Find My iPhone Activation Lock in iOS 7 explains the "Buyer Beware" facts:
    When purchasing an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from someone other than Apple or an authorized Apple reseller, it is up to you to ensure that the device has been erased and is no longer linked to the previous owner’s account.
    Follow each of these steps to make sure that you can use the device you purchase:
    Turn the device on and slide to unlock.If the passcode lock screen or the home screen appears, the device has not been erased. Ask the seller to completely erase the device by going to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. Do not take ownership of any used iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch until it has been erased.
    Begin the device setup process.After choosing a language, choosing a country, and connecting to a network, the device will begin activation. If you are asked for the previous owner’s Apple ID and password, the device is still linked to their account. Hand the device back to the seller and ask them to enter their password. If the previous owner is not present, they can remove the device from their account by signing in toicloud.com/find. Do not take ownership of any used iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch until it has been removed from the previous owner’s account.
    You will know that a device is ready for you to use when you are asked to “Set up your iPhone", “Set up your iPad", or “Set up your iPod” during the device setup process.

  • How can I gift an iPad app on a specific day, like birthday?

    In answering an earlier question (How can I buy a specific iPad app for someone else?) https://discussions.apple.com/people/King_Penguin gave the following helpful tip:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2736
    So far, so good (except that now I'll need to tip off the giftee by asking which email address he uses for iTunes). However... I have a new problem. How do I specify that the gift "arrive" on a specific day, such as a birthday? Dear Obvious Answer: No, I don't want the answer "Buy it on his birthday." I will be out of the country on his birthday, and away from internet/3g/4g connections. I need another choice.

    A different obvious answer: organise it, don't tell him until his birthday. If you cannot phone or text, tell him on a birthday card, posted (remember that?), if necessary inscribed "do not open until your birthday".
    We spend too much time wresting with technology to solve problems that would not even exist a few years ago. 

  • How can i make my ipad apps work again?

    i have this iPad2 wifi+3g  for like five months now but iv never tried sync it on my laptop. Just yesterday i decided to try sync but im frightened when a pop up window appears said that syncing will erase all the data i had on my iPad including my favorite movies and apps.It's been two days now that i've been tinkering my iPad apps.My 1st problem now is i lost all my movies that my friend installed on my iPad and i dont know how to retrieve it. 2) i foldered my apps and sync it and also  update it to iOs5   but after the update and syncing my apps doesnt work now like my bookworm  and few other games doesn't work but it's still there on my folder.
    Can someone help me please...  a detailed instruction is immensely appreciated .

    If the movies that your friend installed on your iPad were not bought with your Apple ID or are not in your iTunes library - they are gone - unless he reinstalls them or you sync again with iTunes (if they are in your library).
    If you bought the movies with your ID and you live in the U.S., you can download many movies again for free using the purchased tab in iTunes.
    If your third party apps no longer work, try downloading another app on your iPad - any free app is fine. That will reset your iTunes authorization and should reset the other apps.

  • How to stop to sync ipad apps with itunes without loosing everything?

    My iPad is synching it's apps with itunes. Now that we have icloud, my ipad already has a backup in the cloud, and the PC backup of my apps is no longer useful. My goal is to stop my apps to sync with itunes on my PC because it is useless, it takes a lot of space on my hard drive (with many apps other 1-2GB each), because it drains my network bandwidth when it syncs, and finally because it makes my music synching with itunes extremely long (because it needs to sync all apps when it sync the music), and all of that without any use.
    I tryed to simply uncheck "sync my apps" , but itunes wants to delete all my app and app data if I do so. I searched online and found out that some tryed to let itunes erase them, then use the icloud backup, but it seems that the icloud backup also backup the "sync my apps is checked", so it is not working. I tryed contacting Apple directly but for itunes they say we have to use the Fast Land, which cost money, which is conter logic (why should we pay to report bugs and get support for an unworking product that should work properly in the first place?), and also very frustrating.
    I got poor support by Apple over the years, but I now that the best support often comes from the people that uses the product itself, and that is why I am trying to get the answer from you guys over the support communities.
    None of us is paid to help each other, so thank you in advance for your time!
    PS: Apple; fast lane needs to be free, it's not normal to have to pay to get the service every company in the world gives freely...

    How do I keep these computers in sync in iTunes without iTunes re-arranging my iPhone home screen and corresponding app icons?
    You don't.  Each sync-able item (apps, music, contacts, calendar, etc) can only have one source.  You don't see it because all of the iTunes libraries have the same apps, but if they didn't, it'd be adding and deleting apps too.  So each type you sync, the one you're currently syncing with becomes the authority.
    Since you state that your goal is for all the libraries to match, there's no reason to be syncing them all.  Pick one, designate it as the authority, and on the other two, don't sync apps.

  • How can I add an iPad app to my library without an iPad?

    Hello,
    As part of the App Store's 5th anniversary, the Traktor DJ app for iPad is free, possibly for a short time only. I currently don't have an iPod, but I would like to add the for-now-free iPad app to my library, just in case I later acquire an iPad. How can I do so?
    (I know that the Traktor DJ app for iPhone is available, but I want to secure ALSO the iPad version.)

    Download the app in the App Store in iTunes on your computer.
    Open iTunes on your computer, go to the iTunes Store, search for that app, and download it. If it can be synced to your iPod, it will be if you select it to sync. Otherwise, it will be on your computer until you can sync it to an iPad

  • Can I share my iPad apps with my wife--she has her own iTunes account

    I just bought my wife an iPad.  Can I share some of my apps with her?  We have different accounts and use different computers to sync.

    Well, it's real easy if you use the same computer with the same computer login.  Just connect and go!  iTunes will keep track of which iPad is which by name.  The only minor nuisance is app updates.  You want to get into the habit of always using the iPads.  iTunes requires that you log out and back in again but the iPads handle it automatically.  You just have to remember the PW for both accounts.
    I can't help you with two computers.

  • How can I synch my iPad contacts with hotmail contacts?

    I have set up my hotmail account for contacts and calenders in "settings", yet they do not synch. It is a pain to maintain two contact lists. How can I synch them directly? Do I need to set up Outlook, synch it to hotmail, then synch my iPad to Outlook?
    GR

    In case your still haven't found an answer to your question:
    You should set up your Hotmail account as Exchange Account not with the preset the iPad provides.
    There are lots of instructions for that on the web( http://www.iphonehacks.com/2010/08/how-to-setup-hotmail-using-exchange-activesyn c-on-your-iphone-ipad-and-ipod-touch-for-push-email-calendar-contacts.html), but basically the server is m.hotmail.com and when asked about the domain, leave it blank.
