How do you prevent iPads from syncing with iTunes when managing a cart with Apple Configurator

I am managing carts of iPads with Configurator running on a MacBook. If I open iTunes when Configurator is not open, all 30 iPads will start Syncing with iTunes. Preferences>>Devices>>Prevent Devices from Automatically Syncing is set but yet any time iTunes is opened the iPads start syncing. This does not happen if Configurator is open.

I was able to finally stop ITunes from crashing after many days of searching n restarting my computer many times.
a) First I went to this site ->http://forums.techarena.in/guides-tutorials/1119812.htm that showed me how to disable DPE. Please make sure that u have good virus...etc.. protection first before doing this. I have Avast Internet Security. RESTART UR COMPUTER..
b) I then uninstall ITunes by following this site ->http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923      RESTART UR COMPUTER..
c) I then downloaded a beta version of ITunes. I happen to download beta 7 before the final of 10.5 version came out. Installed it. After installing I click on it n it said somewhere along the line of "this ITune ver. expired" I checked in my Programs n Features n notice that QuickTime was installed w that beta version.   
d) Go online n download the final version of ITunes ->http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ ...... After u finish dling install that. After that's done connect your IPod, IPhone...etc... n click on ITunes, it should sync all the way.
I was finally able to sync all thru the steps insteading of it crashing on me midway. Hopefully this will work for you. Good luck !

  • I have multiple devices backed up to the same computer each with different data. how do i keep them from syncing all data when i back up or transfer stuff from the computer to a device?

    i have multiple devices backed up to the same computer each with different data. how do i keep them from syncing all data when i back up or transfer stuff from the computer to a device? one is an iphone 6 and the others are ipad mini first gens, each ipad has 64gb and the iphone has 128, need to keep the data seperate as they are not all mine

    Itunes content and pics are NOT part of the backup that itunes performs.
    Backing up, updating, and restoring iPad, iPod touch, and iPhone software
    You should transfer any purchases from iphone regularly:  File>Transfer Purchases  , if they fail to be transferred when you sync.
    You buy one and only one download.  It is your responsibility to move/copy/backup your purchases.
    You can try contacting itunes support and asking for an exception, but they are under no obligation to allow.

  • I just discovered that data entered in the "Notes" application on my iPhone is syncing to the notes section in my yahoo mail account.  How do I prevent this from syncing?

  • My question is Itunes related.  How do you prevent a playlist saved in Itunes from alphabetizing the song list created. I wanted to keep the original order, and somehow everything was alphabetized without requesting it.

    My question is Itunes related.  How do you prevent a playlist saved in Itunes from automatically alphabetizing the song list.   I had a specific order of songs that I wanted, and Itunes somehow automatically alphabetized them.  Is there a way to turn that feature off, and/or get them back to the original order?   I also noticed that once a playlist has been created, I cannot manually changed the order of the songs from my desktop..  Any suggestions?

    That's just the sort order. It's displaying the media alphabetically because you have clicked on the NAME column near the top of the iTunes window.
    Click on the little triangle above the column of numbers (usually on the far left side of the main iTunes window) and the media will sort in the order in which you added each item to the playlist.
    You can easily reorder songs within a playlist: Click and HOLD on the song you wish to move, then drag-and-drop it wherever you like.

    How do I prevent iCloud from deleting my iTunes library?

    I don't think it can do that. Only you can delete it.
    Actually this article explains the process to upgrade your music very well.

    How do you stop needing to verify email password when using yahoo.att with Mac Mail?

    Nevermind, I fixed it (I think).  I went into Settings | Accounts & Sync and found Yahoo at the bottom of the list (alphabetically).  I selected it and it had an optiion to delete the account, which I did.

  • How can I prevent apps from syncing in the new iTunes?

    Hey there.
    I brang my macbook to Applestore cause it had a problem and they downloaded the latest version of itunes. Everything's fine and my music, videos and apps are in the new itunes like before. But now, when I want to sync my ipod touch, a pop window asks me to give the password of the itunes account I used to download some of my apps or it will delete them and their data. The problem is that one of these accounts is an old friend's one and I actually lost all contact with him. So basically now I can't sync my iphone at all or it will delete all my apps.
    Has anyone any idea how to sort that out? Or at least knows how to prevent apps from syncing in this new version of itunes?
    Thanks for your help

    Double tap the Home button...slide the last used view of the app(above the icon) up. Tap Home button when finished.

  • How do you stop audiobooks from syncing to apple tv?

    I'm syncing to my apple tv and I do not see an option to stop audio books from syncing.  How do I stop audiobooks from syncing to my apple tv?  Thanks!

    Open iTunes.
    Select the device.
    Select the content desired to sync.
    Sync.
    FYI, only the 1st Gen ATV has any content sync to it.  The 2nd and 3rd Gen ATVs have no internal storage to store content.

  • MISSING ITUNES SONGS AND HOW CAN YOU PUT SONGS FROM IPOD ONTO ITUNES?

    i opened my itunes one day and all 654 of my songs were GONE. the entire itunes was blank, as if it was newly installed. it wasn't.
    I have an ipod mini, and that still contains the songs since i did not attach my ipod to my computer when i saw that it was empty. my ipod still has 654 songs. But the problem is, that i wont be able to put new songs if my itunes is blank.
    How do you transfer songs from the ipod to the itunes? Usually when you connect the ipod, it automatically updates, so how will i be able to do that. I have new CDs and i want to put some of those songs on my ipod, but i wont be able to do that if my itunes makes my ipod blank. I called apple support but it costs 29 freaking dollars to help me.
    Can anyone help?
      Windows XP  

    okay, well it has been a long time since i have done this, but i will try to do it to the best of my memory.
    uninstall itunes.
    then reinstall it.
    plug your ipod in.
    a box will pop up that says something like would you like to connect your ipod to this library?
    click NO.
    then, on the sidebar there should be a boldfaced DEVICE sign.
    your ipod should show up.
    go to summary
    then check managely manage my music, and then update.
    this means that when you plug your ipod in, you will have to put the music in yourself. this is good because you can pick and choose, and you can delete songs off your ipod if you do not like it anymore. also, you have the ability to play the music on your computer when your ipod is plugged in. hope that helps..

  • How do you add music from Dropbox to iTunes from ipad or computers?

    Please help. I would like to listen to it offline, and I can't. I tried importing... Could it be because I have a different account with iTunes? Thanks :)

    On the iPad you can't. However, you should be able to download them from DropBox and then import to itunes on a computer, then sync to the iPad.

  • How do I prevent iPad from re-transmitting a file to iCloud every time I view it, even if I have made no changes?

    When I view a Numbers document on iPad, even if I make no changes, it gets retransmitted to iCloud. How do I prevent this?
    It can be annoying, as I have several ios devices, and I am continually getting messages like "this document was updated on 3 devices; which version do you want to keep?".
    Pages doesn't do this.
    Numbers didn't used to.
    The only unusual thing I have done, was to double click on an ios Numbers document in Finder and edit it on my macbook. That's when all this started, although I don't see the connection.
    I keep versions up-to-date on everything.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • How do you prevent hackers from spoofing a user?

    Hello,
    I want to write a free P2P gaming network similar to Battle.net.
    One thing I've run across is that one person can snoop someone else's user string, and then post as that user.
    When two people have the same user id, they can dopplegang the other person, messing their game up.
    How do I prevent this?
    ,James
    private function sendMessage():void{
    var message:Object = new Object();
    message.sender = netGroup.convertPeerIDToGroupAddress(nc.nearID);
    message.user = txtUser.text;
    message.text = txtMessage.text;
    netGroup.post(message);
    receiveMessage(message);
    txtMessage.text = "";
    private function receiveMessage(message:Object):void{
    write(message.user+": "+message.text);
    As you can see in my code, the only thing you get/give is message.user as far as ID, and anyone can spoof this that can decompile the software.

    Battle.net is a client-server architecture.
    If you really want to do secure messaging in a p2p mesh I guess you'll need to somehow cryptographically sign every message and have the receiving end filter unproperly signed ones. A server would securely distribute signing private keys to legit users of the system only.
