How does apple Configurator Backup App data? Or does it at all?

Hello,
I use Apple Configurator at two schools. All of the iPads that the schools own are supervised via Apple Configurator.
How does the backup feature work in Apple Configurator? I know it backs up folders and photos and videos. But does it backup app data? And how?
I understand that apps themselves are not backed up. But if an iPad is completely wiped / restored via apple configurator / apps are put back on / then backup is restored.... when does the app data get re-applied (if it does at all?)
Mac OS 10.9.4
Apple Configurator Version 1.5 (424)
I know iTunes can backup and restore app data. My question is does Apple Configurator do it? And how / what is the best way?
Thank you.

When you boot yoru iMac, if you hold down the option key, at the boot meny, do you have an option for "Network" booting  If so, then your machine didn't come with an install disc, it allows for internet restore form Apple servers (although it will need to perform the 4.7GB download if you use it).
If you run the Boot Camp Assistant, you should be presented with an option to download the windows support files from Apple servers.  For machines which didn't come with install/restore discs, this is the way to get the files you need.

  • Apple configurator leaves app data on iPad when assigning to new user

    I set up a supervised iPad and created a base image which I backed up before configuring anything personal. then assigned the iPad to a user and set up some apps, such as Imo which is a jabber compatible messaging app.
    When I check the ipad back in, the user account for Imo is still on there even though it is set to restore the device back to the base backup that I created?

    the problem with this is it wipes the actual app not just the app data, meaning users would have to redownload all their apps everytime they want to use the iPad

  • How to Hide/show the columns data while doing Drill down or drill up

    Hi ,
    How to Hide/show the columns data while doing Drill down or drill up in webi report .
    Does it possible BO 3.1 version ?
    Please suggest me on this.
    Thanks & Regards
    Venkat

    While that is not there yet, you can make use of the show when empty yes/no in combination with alerters.
    So I have an alerter applied to every cell of the table.
    When a condition is true (say I drilled down) I just put = "" in every cell, emptying the table,
    because its now empty and doesn't need to show, it wont.
    For the detail table I use the opposite, so when you drilled down it becomes visible...
    Hope this helps all that do not have 40 yet
    Good luck,
    Marianne

  • My hard disk died with confidential information, what does Apple do with the data?

    My question is: does Apple guarantee that the data from a dead hard disk will be destroyed? I'm in Chile and the authorized support stores don't handle that information.
    What can I do?
    Thanks!

    Thanks for your answer.
    The problem is that they sent the disk to the US and are expecting to get a new one in a few weeks (yes, I'll be that long without my computer).
    Does anyone know what Apple does to dead disks when they get them?

  • Read ADE DRMd Epub books on the iPad - Does Apple have an app for this?

    I have some books in ADE DRMd Epub and I would like to read them on my iPAD.  Does apple have an app to read these type of books?

    Ask Apple:
    Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
    To contact product and tech support visit online support site.
    Ask at the school, as well. If there is a disability organization for the specific disability then make inquiry of that organization.

    You can try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that app and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

  • We have 2 ipods and 1 ipad with different apps all synced to one computer.  How do I prevent these apps from automatically being synced to all three devices each time I do a backup/sync?

    We have 2 ipods and 1 ipad with different apps all synced to one computer.  How do I prevent these apps from automatically being synced to all three devices each time I do a backup/sync?

    Uncheck the option to automatically sync new apps to the device.
    Other than that, syncing is by device.
    Connect one device, tell iTunes what to sync, then sync.
    Connect second device, repeat.
    Connect third device, repeat.

  • Does apple have an app for the iMac which is similar to Microsoft office?

    does apple have an app which is equivelant to microsoft office?

    http://www.apple.com/iwork/
    However, I don't think the current version runs on any of the pre-2006 iMacs this forum covers. If you iMac is pre-2006, we can give you some options if you tell us more about your computer, mainly processor type and Mac OSX version from "About this Mac" in your Apple menu.
    Microsoft makes Office for Mac but, again, what you can run depends on what iMac variant you have and its OS version.

    What do you mean by "my ipods internet doesnt look how it should"?
    What happens when you try to use the App store? Error message?

  • Does Apple, or the App Store, have a replacement for my disintegrating iGoogle homepage?

    Does Apple, or the App Store, have a replacement for my disintegrating iGoogle homepage?  I like the lists of widget feeds and don't like the icons in chrome's replacement of igoogle.

         Thanks for your suggestion.  I searched, found Protopage and am really liking it. I don't mind paying their subscription fee to banish ads and help them keep the project going. Funny thing is, I used to think one of these days igoogle would start charging me and, because I was so dependent on it, I'd pay. It never occurred to me that it would go away, just that I would find it expensive.

  • Why does Apple charge for Apps that are FREE? That's my concern.

    Why does Apple charge for Apps that are FREE? That's my concern.

    Free means Free....
    As both Johnathan and Demo have indicated, if it says Free there is no charge associated with it. If you upgrade to a "Pro" version, or if you do in-app purchases, then it is no longer free....but when you initially install the app, you do not pay anything if it says "Free".
    And "Yeah? I'll show you" does not help us to understand what you are talking about. If you want help, then provide specifics and we will help you to figure out your misunderstanding.
