How do Teachers remotely lock or unlock iOS devices into a specific app, such as an assessment app, ensuring that all students are on the same activity at the same time in iOS 7?

iOS 7 makes this claim but have not seem any documentation on how it is done.

Hi Gloria22,
This setting takes advantage of the Guided Access accessiblity feature in iOS. In order to do it remotely, you will need to rely on an MDM (mobile device management) solution to make that happen. We use JAMF's Casper Suite in our school district. They have a product called Casper Focus that allows our teachers to lock/unlock and "foucs" students into a specific app on their iPads. I like it
Hope this helps!

I had the developer preview for IOS 6 on my phone, and just got a message telling me that my operating system is no longer active. How do I get my phone activated again?

I had the developer preview for IOS 6 on my phone, and just got a message telling me that my operating system is no longer active. How do I get my phone activated again?
I had the developer preview installed. Never had to update to the release version of the OS. Now, the preview has expired, and I cannot use my phone because my iTunes reads my OS as being current, but my iPhone cannot active. Any ideas on how to fix this issue?

If I Google for Michael Superczynski, first match tells "Michael Superczynski's Profile : Apple Support Communities". It in fact does a lot of work there even if not paid.
And yes we do not have disagreement about "official apple developers". Problem is that Apple screwed our devices because we are "official apple developers" and did effort to stop us getting proper help. I unbricked my ipad and iphone thanks to unofficial help. Thank you who wrote this unofficial help and "no thanks" for apple for ruining my access to my devices. My mistake was assuming that "update" button on my devices works. It did not because it always told "Your device has latest IOS6 installed" until it bricked yesterday.
If Apple does not want to listen us, continue do delete post, blame us installing your software and yes we stop buying your devices and developing for them.

I have a 27" iMac with 16GB of factory installed SDRAM and 1T harddrive. It is telling me the harddrive is full and is not functioning correctly. How can I adjust so that all files are managed on the harddrive rather than the SDRAM. (BTW - design flaw)

Memory 16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
I have a 27" iMac with 16GB of factory installed SDRAM and 1T harddrive. It is telling me the harddrive is full and is not functioning correctly. How can I adjust so that all files are managed on the harddrive rather than the SDRAM. (BTW - design flaw here.)
Older Macs with a single Harddrive would simply expand OS management on the drive, and I think I understand the new Fusion Drive to do just that, but how do I get this product that I spent a great deal of money on to be more than a pretty screen?

I was confused by this statement
It is telling me the harddrive is full and is not functioning correctly.
OS X manages ram and when you run out, it create swapfiles to extend your ram on the HDD (Hard Disk Drive). The OS itself, takes about 16 gig of space and that too resides on the HDD. Your 16 gig of RAM is really a temporary space that holds things from the HDD so the processor can work on them. There is no design flaw between your ram and HDD. Something else is going on and there are a lot of smart people here to help you figure out what that "something else" is.
I would do three things. First I would create a backup, backups are important. Second, I would reboot into recovery and repair my HDD. Lastly while still booted in recovery I would repair permissions.
Can you capture a screen shot of the exact error you are getting?

HT1267 I have a factory unlocked Iphone 4S, it worked fine but it was lossing the signal and going into search, I decided to restore, but now can not activate it, a message can not be activated because the server is temporary unavailable try again later??

I have a factory unlocked Iphone 4S, it worked fine but it was often lossing signal and going into search, I decided to restore, but now can not activate it, a message can not be activated because the server is temporary unavailable try again later, I have tried this for 3 days, any suggestions?

yes did you buy it of somebody or a well known company such as apple or carphone warehouse?
and i mean the phone would have been activated in the first place with the sim card you get given when you first get the phone.
trying to activate the phone with another sim card that you did not get when you brought the phone may result in you not being able to activate it
no worries

HT204022 If I delete my photo stream photos off of my iPhone will they also delete from my photo stream on my MacBook Pro? If so how can I ensure that those photos are saved?

If I delete my photo stream photos off of my iPhone will they also delete from my photo stream on my MacBook Pro? If so how can I ensure that those photos are saved?

They will not be deleted if they have been imported to your iPhoto library. To ensure this happens automatically, go to iPhoto>Preferences>iCloud and check Automatic Import:
To confirm that they have been imported to your library, click on iCloud on the left sidebar of iPhoto, open your My Photo Stream album on the right, then Control-Click on your pictures. If you see "Show in Library" in the pop-up, the picture has been imported to your library and you can safely delete it from photo stream.

Is there a way to lock down IOS devices to a specific version of IOS?

We got bit pretty hard by the IOS 6.1/exchange 2010 thing but would like to keep Idevices around.
Trying to find options to protect againts IOS updates until the IT staff can test the new version throughly.
Is there a way to lock a device down to a specific IOS version where the user will not get update messages?
I have been checking out MDM companies and all they can do is label a non approved ios version device 'non-compliant' and kick it off the network if its not the correct IOS version.
I can straight block the new OS version from the server, but in the user base someone would accidentially update and then they are locked out.
Is anyone else dealing with the same issues?

You can restrict safari, which won't turn off Internet access, but will prevent browsing through safari. Note: without additional restrictions, other browsers could be installed from the app store if users have the apple ID password.
On the ipad itself, go to settings\general\restrictions and set safari to off.
You may also want to restrict 'installing apps' here to prevent the user from installing additional browsers.
These can also be configured via MDM if you need to do this on a lot of devices.

How to save a locked PDF unlocked?

I used to save locked PDF files unlocked on my MacBook.
In Preview:
Before I'd opened the PDF file, I used the option: 'save as'
Then I filled in the password and used the option: rename/rewrite file.
The option 'save as' is no longer in Lion.
Any suggestions??

Open the PDF in the PREVIEW app
Enter the password to unlock the document/PDF
Go to Print option
In the bottom-left window of the PRINT screen, select PDF
Select Save As Option
Preview will pop-up a message saying that the file will be saved as a copy as the original document is/was password protected.
Provide a path and PREVIEW will save a unlocked PDF

How to disable remote wipe option for mobile devices

Hi,
I have integrated environment of SCCM 2012 R2 and Windows Intune. I am managing Windows phone, Android and IOS devices through this setup. I was trying find an option to disable remote wipe option in the SCCM Console. Only selective wipe should be available.
Can you please help me on how to configure this setting.
Regards
Leela

I got the below response from the micososft intune team.
"Issue Definition: Cx would like remote wipe disabled
in the Admin console.
Scope Agreement: Disable remote wipe feature from account.
You will not be able to block this feature using Microsoft Intune. System
Center Configuration Manager might be able to control this feature. You
might consider opening a case with their team.
The other thing to consider, is to limit the amount of Admin users you have.
Anyone that is given Admin rights in Microsoft Intune will have the ability to
use the wipe feature. "
I have raised a ticket with SCCM 2012 team, awaiting their response.
Regards
Leela

I have an iphone 4s ios 7.0.2. Before updating to the latest ios i had songs in my iphone. after updating also it was there, but when i wanted to put more songs through itunes in my iphone , i synced with itunes first with my iphone. Then i pressed sync all songs and then itunes said that all songs had been synced. But in my iphone it showed me that there is no songs at all and i have to download it from itunes store. The songs which i had also went from my iphone. I dont know what happened. I updated my itunes to the latest one 11.1.1. But still no change . Can anyone tell me what is the problem. What to do?

Hello babichanjacob
Change how it syncs by enabling Manually manage music and videos, then you can drag and drop the music that you want on your iPhone. Revert it back to test to see if that resolves the issue.

With iOs 7 and the iPhone can someone use the phone while also using a communication app such as Speak It or Assistive Chat? These are text to speech systems for people who cannot speak well. Thanks you!

My iPhone 5 wouldn't start after I turned it off a few minutes after writing this. It went into recovery mode and I had no choice but to connect to iTunes on PC and restore.
I restored to factory setting first, just to validate my phone was okay. For a second consecutive iOS update, the iPhone 5 did not update smoothly while connected to PC and iTunes - I had to retry two times before the progress bar for the update showed. (The exact same problem with the restart occured when I updated to 7.0.4.)
The good news is that I was ultimately able to restore the iPhone 5 to factory settings while running iOS 7.0.6. I did have a backup from about a month ago lying around and was able to successfully restore with that as well, so the damage done is almost negligible since I had my contacts, notes, mail, etc. backed up to iCloud.
Once I completed both restores, the sync with iTunes worked fine.

App used in conjunction with accessory to turn iOS device into gun scope

Hi,
I recently came across the following product:
http://inteliscopes.com/
While I realize that using the iOS camera for "mock shooting" applications is completely innocuous, I think that using the iPhone attached to a semi-automatic weapon to aim and shoot crosses a line.
I'm curious if the use of an iOS device in ths manor violates any known terms of services, and if Apple has a known position on apps of this sort. Thanks.

Hah!, well, I suppose that's to be expected. We're putting seriously powerful technology in the hands of everyone with a few bucks to spare; it's inevitable that some oddball uses are going to crop up. When I think about the things one could do with an iPhone - without all that much skill or effort, even - it kinda gives me the willies.

BRV does not connect to iOS devices. It actually will complete a connection to may iPhones and iPads once in a blue moon, but otherwise, the iOS devices just 'spin' on the connection. What can be done?

Does any one know how to get a reliable connection to an iOS device with the Verizon BRV router? The devices do not complete the connection. They have no problem at McDonalds or other free WiFi's so I think it is the BRV that has the issue.

> I would not think that all five have "corrupted" credentials.
You never know, someone may have monkied with something in a way that breaks the connectivity of these devices. Try deleting the wireless profile on a few iOS devices and confirm if the problem persists or not so we can cross it off the troubleshooting list. While we are at it I wonder if the iOS devices get IP addresses from the BRV when they are in this connecting/spinning state or not. There could be a clue here as to what is going on. No/invalid IP would suggest the device is getting blocked or unable to authenticate to the BRV. An IP Address but no connectivity would mean the iOS devices are getting isolated and not allowed out to the internet.
I would also consider resetting the BRV back to the defaults and trying to connect these iOS devices with the default credentials. If they iOS devices cannot connect with the default settings then there is likely a hardware failure on the BRV. Such an issue would need to get reported to VZW for warranty replacement or servicing.

How can I put a folder of backed up pictures from my iOS device into iPhoto so iPhoto automatically puts them in events (organized by date)?

I have an album of a bunch of pictures collected over the course of two years. They are from my old iPhone, and I didn't have a mac at the time. So on my pc, I just backed all my pictures from my old iPhone into a folder. Now I have a mac, and just like when you plug your iPhone in it allows you to upload them in organized events, how can I do that with folder of images? They all still have the date, so I don't know why it doesn't automatically sort it by date. Anyhow, thank you so much for your feedback!

When you import photos that is what happens - not by months but by the setting you have in your iPhoto preferences

How can I make only the shape active for the mouse events, not the whole box around it?

I want to create mouse over events for different parts of an image (say of a hard disk drive), so when the user places their mouse over the spindle, say, it will change colour.
At the moment I have it working however the event is triggered when ever the mouse is in the bounding box of the spindle image. How can I get it to only be triggered when it is above the non transparent part of the image (or symbol)?

Thanks joris182, but that wont work when there are other objects within the bounding box of the transparent symbol. For example, if I want the sclera to highlight, if I use an invisible shape over it, it will be active even if someone has their mouse over the vitreous body.
