How to install managed apps to iPads silently OTA using Profile Manager

Here is my setup.
100 to 150 Ipads in carts used by their departments in classrooms.
OSX Mavericks Server running Profile manager
I use Apple Configurator to push a wifi payload to the ipads as well as an auto enrollment profile to connect to Profile Manager.
That part works like a dream.
Now that I have that working. I am having a problem pushing apps to the Ipads. I downloaded some free apps, GDrive for example, using the managed distribution.
But I cannot figure out how to push the apps to the iPads without having the iPads asking for an Apple ID and password.
I just want to push VPP apps to the iPads silently.
Thanks for any help.

Then you need include the apps when you clone with Configurator.
Managed Distribution of Apps is flexible because it works for the following scenarios:
Device
     • Device is owned by the company and distributed to the user
     • Device is BYOD and enrolled in corporate MDM
     • Device is BYOD and unmanaged
User
     • Device is "assigned' or used by a single individual
     • The individual has an Apple ID (or is capable of getting one)
     • The user is entered into your Profile Manager and has an email address (or device is enrolled and you do a push notify to ask for enrollment - remember, Managed Distro works without MDM)
     • User accepts the invitation to your VPP program with an Apple ID of choice - enterprise does not care what it is
Apps
     • Apps are assigned to the user account in Profile Manager
     • Apps become visible in the Apple ID's App Store account as available for install
     • If the device is set to autoinstall "purchased" apps, the apps for iPad will just appear
     • Apps can be "revoked" by the enterprise, returning the license to the available pool
     • Apps do not dissapear from devices
Managed Distro does not really fit education as depending on age your students may not be able to have an Apple ID, may not have email, and the devices may not be deployed in a one-to-one.
You are back to master image cloning through Configurator.

How-To: Install Bundled Apps to another MacBook Pro using Target Disk Mode

Recently, I replaced the dead hard drive on my wife's computer. All the data was previously backed-up so all I needed to do was reinstall the original OS. Oops! Those disks disappeared over two years ago...perfect, right? No poblem, I already had the boxed install DVD for Snow Leopard and installed the core OS. But what about those bundled applications? Aha! That is the marketing coup Apple doesn't really talk much about. You see, you get the entire suite of Apple branded apps with the original install disks but not with a boxed OS install disk. It's just something that you have to find out for yourself...the hard way.
My requirement: restore all the iPhoto data to the reimaged machine running Snow Leopard. But that data has no application that can read it. Solution - Reinstall iPhoto from another source.
So I developed this workaround I hope the rest of you find amusingly simple, wildly helpful
Here's how I restored iPhoto on my wife's computer:
1) Get two Laptops side by side. In our case we both have macbook pro 2008 computers (Wife's and Mine)
2) Power both down and direct connect a firewire 400 cable (or 800 if you have it) between the two
3) Start the Wife's laptop in Target Disk Mode: Press "T" immediately after engagin the power button, hold it down until you see the "fanned" firewire symbol floating across a grey screen - it's quite large, about the size of your hand making a "stop" gesture
4) No start the Mine laptop by pressing the "option" key (two keys to the left of the space bar)
5) You will presented with a pair of hard disks to boot from, choose the Wife's laptop hard drive
5a) you'll notice now that the Mine laptop is booting the OS system files of the Wife's laptop (Her desktop, her preferences, etc...)
6) On the Mine laptop, insert the original Mac OS Install Disk (#1) that came with the Mine laptop (usually any OEM install disk will work, though)
7) Double-click on the DVD icon on the desktop when it mounts and look for a shortcut that reads, "Install Bundled Applications Only"...launch it
8) Now choose install bundled applications but make sure to press the "Customize" button in order to specifically choose which OEM software you want. In our case, just iPhoto
9) Follow the installer prompts all the through to completion and exit (you will be prompted to insert disk #2 along the way).
10) Remove the install disks, power down
11) Power down the Wife's laptop too
12) Disconnect the Firewire cables from both laptops
13) Power up the Wife's laptop normally
14) Launch the FInder and drill down to Applications. Look for iPhoto and launch it
15) iPhoto will either pickup the "iPhoto Library" that was previously restored after reimaging with Snow Leopard or you may be prompted to manually associate a library with iPhoto.
16) Once complete, you'll se all the restored pictures and data from when before the original hard drive crashed. Wife will be pleased and you'll look like a Genius
This is a really handy trick for troubleshooting a lot of install and restore related issues.
Hopefully you'll find other uses for it too.
Good Luck,
TheHighSierras

I think the problem is that you can't install an older OS X version onto a system running a newer OS X version. So I would try the following:
     1. have an external disk or create another partition on an internal drive to use for the Mountain Lion install (you might have to shrink an existing partition to make room for another)
     2. Create an external bootable USB thumb drive with the Mountain Lion OS on it (do a search on the web for this - for example see http://www.macworld.com/article/1167857/how_to_make_a_bootable_mountain_lion_ins tall_drive.html
     3. Reboot Yosemite and then boot from the USB thumb drive by holding down the option key
     4. run the mountain lion installer and install on the new disk/partition you created in step 1 - it will also create another recovery partition from this same part of the disk
Now your Mac system will have both a Mountain Lion install as well as the Yosemite install. You won't be able to use Migration Assistant to move things from Yosemite to Mountain Lion because it will see that you're "going backwards" and won't allow you to.
Have a good backup of everything before starting in case there are problems.
Good luck...

How do i sync apps to my iPhone 4S using itunes without losing aps already installed on the phone but with a different apple ID, and i dont have the apple ID??

how do i sync apps to my iPhone 4S using itunes without losing aps already installed on the phone but with a different apple ID, and i dont have the apple ID??

How have you managed to get apps on your phone that are tied to a different and unknown AppleID?
If these apps were not purchased by you, having them is effectively software piracy and you should purchase them using your own AppleID if you want to keep hem.

Can't install Netflix app on iPad.

I can't install Netflix app on iPad. It's installed on another device, but I thought that was OK. When I go to the App Store the "install" button doesn't show up. Wondering if it is installed but not showing up for some reason?

you can install the app on any number of devices. There is a limit on how many devices on the same account can stream at the same time.
first, make sure the app is not already on the device by using spotlight to search your device. it may be hidden in a folder somewhere.

How to install ios6 apps on ios5, iam using ipad1

how to install ios6 apps on ios5, iam using ipad1

You don't. You need to get iOS 5 compatible Apps. You can however try to get older compatible versions of apps that currently require iOS6.
Download the App you want to a computer running iTunes or an Apple device that can support the new version using the Apple ID from your iPad.
Then go to the Purchased tab in the App Store App and look for the App there. You'll get a prompt that the App is not compatible, but it should offer to download a compatible version.
App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app

Sync them via iTunes. All your apps should be backed up in your iTunes Library anyway.

How to install oracle apps 11.5.10.2 on WinXP?

How to install oracle apps 11.5.10.2 on WinXP?

Yes I did, and can login to the new OA Framework side of things now.
I did a browser refesh ( cleared cache, and restarted browser), this seems to have resolved that
Its a rather cheeky one going on here. Whenever I load the forms page, it gives me an error message suggesting the host name is wrong.
When I installed the SLES9, I also specified a similar alias name. I suspect this is the issue, and am still investigating

How to install iOS 6 on iPad 2

How to install iOS 6 on iPad 2?

I see. Sorry. I didn't understand what you were asking.
The way that you decide to update is up to you. I plan updating via WiFI myself and not use iTunes. You have the choice. If you decide to update with iTunes, you may want to temporarily disable your firewall and antivirus software until the update completes. But you can update over WiFi if you want to do so.
Remember that millions of people world wide will want to update their devices and the servers may be very busy today.

How to Load an app to iPad using command line

Hello,
I am trying to build an iOS app and load it to an iPad where I want to run an automated test on it from command line. I do not wish to use Fruitstrap or any other third party tool/code as I only want to use native apple code.
xcodebuild -verbose -project iOS_Calc.xcodeproj -configuration Release -sdk iphoneos6.1 -arch armv7 -target iOS_Calc clean build
xcrun -sdk "iphoneos" PackageApplication -v "$project_dir/build/Calc.app" -o "$project_dir/build/Calc.ipa" --sign "$provisioning_profile" --embed "$project_dir/$mobileprovision"
Above is the script I have so far to build the app, but I dont know how to load it to an iPad via command line. Does anyone know how to load the .app to iPad device?

I'm also interested. Not only load but also run.

Managed App Configuration using Profile Manager

Hello,
We're using Profile Manager as the MDM server of our iPads. Everything works fine except that recently we want to manage some app configurations through MDM, but were unable to find the Managed App Configuration settings from Profile Manager.
May I know if Profile Manager supports Managed App Configuration for iOS?
Thanks,
Jacky

We are not running it yet but I am believe that when you setup a user in airwatch or another MDM and you install the agent on a device the user has to authenticate with AD creds, so then you can configure it to pull a cert from your SCEP server using those creds and it will then pull a user cert. instead of a generic certificate. Obviously that is a pretty dumbed down explination but in a nutshell that is how it is going to work.
