How do I prevent users from being able to update Firmware

I have several users (14) with iPad 2 and they rely on an in-house developed App. we have yet to test this App on iOS 5.1 and therefore want to avoid any of the users updating the iPads at all cost!
this question is in two parts:
How can I prevent users from upgrading firmware themselves short of just asking nicely?
How can I stop the iPad from automatically downloading the Upgrade when I deploy a Policy using the iPhone Configuration Utility?
Any advice would be great!

We've been looking at the AirWatch mdm and have been told it has this capability.  Not sure if it would be justified from an economic standpoint for you, however.

  • I receive numerous messages in "Bulk Mail". Where do they come from and how can I prevent them from being received? Thanks

    I receive numerous messages in "Bulk Mail". Where do they come from and how can I prevent them from being received? Thanks

    Once you're on a spammer's list, there's nothing you can do to stop the flood of e-mail messages. You can either control it, using spam filtering (which is what files those messages in the Junk Mail folder), or you can throw out your e-mail address and get a new one.
    It's sad, but spam is simply a fact of life at this point, and there's nothing to be done about it. Legislation has been tried, with zero success, since most spam either comes from countries with no legislation or from personal computers that have been infected with malware and are part of a "botnet."

  • How do i prevent history from being cleared? prevent privacy browsing?

    How do I prevent privacy browsing and/ or prevent history from being deleted from son's computer?

    Note that removing or disabling "Private Browsing" will not make it impossible to delete private data like visited websites (history) or cache.
    There are a lot of ways to clear such data, either via [[Clear Recent History]] or directly by deleting the History in the Library or sidebar.
    Private Browsing makes it easier because all data is kept in memory and nothing is saved to disk, so nothing needs to be removed.
    If you want to see which sites have been visited then you should look at others means outside Firefox like a router or firewall with a password protected logging feature that can't be bypassed or a program like [http://www.wireshark.org/download.html Wireshark].

  • How do I prevent files from being backed up to iCloud and iTunes?

    I have created the ios app using adobe AIR16 and flash cc. After submission of my aap into aapstore, I received a message from Apple with the following message –
    From Apple
    2.23 - Apps must follow the iOS Data Storage Guidelines or they will be rejected.
    By using xcode we can prevent files from being backed up to icloud and itunes, but i want to know that  what is the way to achieve this by using AIR. While creating an explicit app id from apple developer account , i am not enabling icloud support.

    Within AIR you can set the File.preventBackup property to true on a directory or file to prohibit that content from being backed up to the cloud:
    File - Adobe ActionScript® 3 (AS3 ) API Reference
    This is all you need to call when you first create the folder or file to have it work with iOS backup guidelines.

  • How do I prevent users from caching their sign in credentials on OWA page

    I am using Forms based authentication and want to prevent users from caching their credentials on the OWA page.
    Is there an easy way?

    Hi,
    Forms-based authentication enables a sign-in page for Outlook Web App that uses a cookie to store a user's encrypted sign-in credentials in the Internet browser. So this authentication method will force to cache their credentials in the Internet
    browser for some time. The workaround is what Willard Martin suggested.

  • Want to use parental controls to prevent myself from being able to be on certain websites, but i can't do so on my account because i'm the administrator and parental controls don't work with the administrator. How can i do this?

    go on certain websites, but i can't use parental controls on my account because i'm the administrator. How do i prevent access to websites?

    Thanks for the reply, BUT --- i can't fool myself. I can make all the other accounts i want, but i'll still be able to get into the admin account and therefore have access to the websites i don't want to have access to. Is there a way to block websites from ALL accounts?

  • Lync 2013 - Prevent user from being recorded (voice or conferencing)

    Hi,
    Is there a way to prevent a specific user (ex. a VIP) from being recorded in P2P or conferencing calls, whatever the general policies may be ?
    Thanks for your help,
    Luca

    Agree with Paul, there is no native way of doing this.  There's no great practical way either as the audio can hit a range of devices, so there's nothing much stopping someone from just downloading third party software and recording
    it.  But then again I can just hold up the recording app on my mobile phone to any device and I've recorded the call.  I'd suggest disabling recording of conference calls for all users if this is a concern, P2P calls can't be recorded natively
    anyway, but there's a billion VoIP recording apps that work with Lync.

  • How can I prevent breadcrumbs from being used on the first page?

    Hi,
    I'm using the latest version of the technical communication suite to produce a WebHelp
    layout from a framemaker book. Thanks to all the help I've received so far it's proceeding
    well, although slowly.
    II have an initia l'home'  page, that isn't present in the TOC, just with a program logo, a company
    logo and a helpdesk address. How can I stop breadcrumbs from appearing on this page?
    I'm happy for this to be the Home page and to keep the word Home, and it is a separate
    document in the linked framemaker book.
    Has anyone got any ideas as to how I can do this?
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Best wishes,
    Karen

    Hi Karen
    To each his or her own. Jeff's approach certainly will work but will require you to repeat the process each time you generate. With the approach I outlined you would only need to do things once.
    As for the breadcrumbs not appearing at all, it depends on *WHERE* in the Master Page you elected to add them. In order for the approach I outlined to work, you need to ensure you add the placeholder *OUTSIDE* the Body placeholder. Then you should see breadcrumbs on the pages you have associated with the Master Page.
    Cheers... Rick

  • How can I prevent Applications from being copied to external drive?

    Hello,
    Just a quick one...
    I run a studio in an education evironment. We've got quite a lot of software installed on our machines (Mac OS X 10.7.4) and there's always the chance that students will copy applications from the Applications folder onto an external drive to take home!
    Obviously this is becoming increasingly easy with large USB sticks and Applications which are entirely contained in the Applications folder.
    Is there any way that students can still run these applications during class but prevent them from copying the whole applications?
    With thanks in advance,
    Lawrence

    You can hide the Applications folder, but it isn't a total solution. Open Terminal and type:
    cd /
    sudo chflags hidden /Applications

  • How can I prevent Firefox from being on top of Thunderbird?

    For example, Tbird is open and on top of Firefox, which is open. I click to Forward a message, then address it. Then click to Send. The Forward screen closes and instead of going back to the Tbird messages screen, it goes back to Firefox. How can I stop this from happening?

    There has been a change in where Firefox searches for plugins and the plugins folder in the Firefox program folder is no longer scanned for plugins, so Firefox won't find them anymore if they are installed in the plugins folder instead of the "browser\plugins" folder that Firefox now scans.
    You can set the plugins.load_appdir_plugins pref to true on the about:config page to make Firefox scan the "<install>/plugins/" directory for plugins like the WMP plugin (np-mswmp.dll).
    You can alternatively move plugins from "<install directory>\plugins\" to "<install directory>\browser\plugins\" (create this folder when missing) to make Firefox find them again.

  • How do I prevent users from moving subfolders on shared folders?

    I have a Snow Leopard Server sharing several folders via AFP. For now, all users have full access on everything, since we have no confidentiality issues. Unfortunately, from time to time some users inadvertently move folders around (mostly drag and drop accidents).
    So, how should I set permissions so that my users can read and write data within a folder, but can not move or delete the parent folder itself?
    To clarify, the structure (from the user's point of view) would be:
    \Volume\Shared_Docs\AAA
    \Volume\Shared_Docs\BBB
    \Volume\Other_Stuff\CCC
    \Volume\Other_Stuff\DDD
    I would like users to have full access and rights on the content of AAA,BBB,CCC and DDD, but I do not want them to be able to move, say, AAA to Other_Stuff, or to delete it.
    Thanks
    Christian

    You can also put the icons on the Dock, then turn on Parental Controls for his user account so that he can't accidentally change it.
    First go to his account and set up the Dock with the apps, folders, or documents that he will use. Then in SystemPreferences>Accounts>ParentalControls>Finder&System uncheck 'Modify the Dock' as one of the things he can do.
    To make it easier, you might then want to make the Dock larger and turn on Magnification in the Dock prefpane.

  • Using notes on iPad: how do I prevent numbers from being displayed as phone numbers?

    Using notes on iPad how do I enter numbers such that notes thinks that they are just numbers, not phone numbers, links, or calendar events?
    Example:
    Enter the line "Number: 00012345678".  The number is highlighted in yellow, tap it and I get the options to "Send Message", "Add to Contacts", or "Copy".
    Enter the line "Numlet: 9H". The "9H" is highlighted in yellow, tap it and I get the options to "Create Event", "Show in Calendar", or "Copy".
    I don't think this is an iOS 7 problem.

    Personally, I think that an App like AirWatch would be overkill for the average home user and form the very little bit that I know about the app, it would not make sense from a money standpoint - IMO anyway. I don't use any third party app to manage devices.
    I manage four iDevices in my iTunes library on my MacBook Pro. All four devices are mine, but all of them have their own unique content on them so it does take a little bit of extra attention to detail when I sync and make changes to the sync configuration. And because I share my Apple ID with my wife and daughter (who each have their own MBP laptops) every now and then I inadvertently download a previously purchased app that I didn't want (I delete more Disney apps than you can shake a stick at) and I scratch my head trying to figure out where that app came from.
    I guess what I'm trying to say is, again IMO - that you can get the hang of keeping everything separate without the purchase of an enterprise app, you just have to be a little more aware of what you are syncing, and pay a little closer attention to what's going on.

  • How do I prevent effects from being rasterized/un-editable when I re-open my CS6 file?

    Since upgrading to CS6: when I re-open Illustrator CS6 files, I find that effects such as dropshadow, etc. are rasterized as images or other elements that I can't edit as "effects". I'm the single author of these files, so they're being edited on the same computer and in the same program version. Anyone know why this is happening, and how to prevent it? It's really slowing me down.

    Is it possible that you have opened older files created in CS5 or earlier? That in itself is not a problem, but if the file wants to keep that earlier version compatability when you save, then there's a mismatch between CS6 and earlier versions of Illustrator, especially around transparency issues like drop shadows.
    Make sure to save as an illustrator .ai format and on the second screen of the save dialog box choose CS6 as the version.
    Not sure if that's it, but worth checking. Hope that helps…
