How to manage apps for lots of devices

Hi, I work @ all college in AU. We are implementing ipads as a study tool. Initially the ipads will be set up by the college, then distributed to the students to keep.
My question is about how to manage apps for so many devices. For example we have 2 apps that need to be installed for 150 units to begin with. This could get quite messy I would think. Has anyone had any experience with this sort of volumes? Any and all input would be greatly appreciated.

Look in the forum above this one...

  • Managing apps on multiple ipad devices

    Hi, I work @ all college in AU. We are implementing ipads as a study tool. Initially the ipads will be set up by the college, then distributed to the students to keep.

    I'm looking at setting up a class set of 20 iPads for use in a new language centre in AU. I want to offer students flashcard, language specific software and playlists of listening examples, PDF textbooks created in school and the like.
    Currently, I cannot find a decent syncing system either.
    http://www.ipadcart.info offers a charging rack, but nothing for actually syncing a full set of iPads.
    Unfortunately, given that at the moment you are only able to sync apps across up to 5 devices, it looks like I will have to have every iPad hanging off a single machine which will have an individual iTunes account associated with EVERY iPad. Which will require me to buy a copy of each app MANUALLY for each iPad, rather than be able to order 20 copies of iKana and 20 copies of iKanji and the like.
    From what I can tell there is no easy way to create a single iPad "image" and copy it across to a whole set of iPads. We need a carbon copy cloner-type app for iPad/iTunes.
    Or we need some kind of lab management solution from Apple.

    On the iPad open Settings/iCloud and delete the account using the button at the bottom. Once deleted log in using the other account. For iTunes Stores use Settings/iTunes & Apps Stores, tapp on the Apple ID at the top then sign out. Once done sign in using the other account. Once you are happy with the changes plug your iPad into your computer to update the backup.

  • IPad/iPhone Backup/Management App for PC?

    I'm fed up with the massive headache that's called iTunes.   I don't want a Backup/Management App for my iPad and iPhone that is music centric.  I have a lot of valuable information, applications, photos, videos, and documents on my iPad and iPhone that needs to be effectively backed up and managed.   And yes, I want to back up/management my music too.  I want a well written app that does it all.   Is there an application that does this?
    Dan.

    Thanks for answering.  I don't like the answer, but it's what I expected.  
    Regards,

  • Project management app for iDevices

    Can anyone recommend relatively simple and inexpensive project-management apps that will sync between Mavericks, iPad and iPhone?
    I am interested in a simple way to keep track of personal projects that will cloud-sync between my iMac, iPad and iPhone. Ominfocus seems to be the type of thing I need, but to purchase apps for all three devices would be $140.
    I have been using Apple's Reminders app. But, among other things, it doesn't seem to print items including notes of actions, conversations, etc. In addition, Reminders doesn't seem to allow enlarging a task or reminder to better read the notes.

    Download the apps on your syncing computer and then sync to the iPod. Note that you can only sync apps for the one syncing computer you use with the iPod. You can manage music and videos among different computer.

  • Looking for a good Password Manager App for the iPhone

    I'm looking for a good and reliable Password Manager App for the iPhone with sync capabilities on macs. I've read several reviews on several different apps on iTunes, and either they don't work properly, or they're a rip off, or they just don't sync or all of the above. Any recommendations?
    Thanks in advance.

    I've been very happy with 1Password, though I haven't used the iPhone component (not having an iPhone).

  • Re: how to get apps for iphone 3g 4.2.1

    Re: how to get apps for iphone 3g 4.2.1 all apps support higher version help....

    I still have an old 3G which I use mostly as a ipod/radio. By accident I found you can overide the i-tunes block.
    1. Select Apps in Apps store icon on the phone.
    2. Choose App to download
    3.  At "Instal" button press it QUICKLY in blocks of 3 presses, keep doing  this until it overides the i-tune warning, then if there were legacy  versions for os 4.2.1 it says something like "this app is for os 5 or  above", but gives you a choice to download an older version. Select  this.
    Sometimes  it says the Apps is for newer hardware, requiring motion sensors, front  camera's etc.. just got to accept these ones don't work on legacy  hardware.
    4.  Download does not work for all Apps, esp. newer ones written after os  4.21 or if the developer doesn't have the vintage apps archived- e.g.  Instagram downloads, but won't run (wants to update), or WSJ and Barrons  stalls and goes through a download loop.
    I am not making this up, as I bought this old 3g unit on e-bay, after a complete factory reset I now have:
    -  Tune-in, FB, Pandora,Skype, Twitter, Bloomberg, MSNBC, Forbes,  Marketwatch, Viber, amongst a host of other news apps like LATimes.
    Some Apps will download ok, and then at activation says its too old and no longer supported e.g Whats App.
    Otherwise,  good luck. Tune-in, Pandora, Skype and Twitter is all I need to keep me  happy with an old unit, even though I've got newer hardware. Never let  anything die unnaturally.

  • Do I need to upgrade my CC Account to create a folio app for non-iPad devices?

    Hello,
    I have never created a DPS app, but have been researching this for the last 4 weeks.  From what I understand, I can create a DPS app for iPad using a single edition or a multifolio app.  If I want to create a DPS app for any other device, I would need to create a multifolio app.  I have only a Creative Cloud account, but I believe that I will need a Professional or Enterprise account to create multifolio apps.  Is there another way that I could create apps for Android, iPhone, etc devices without having to upgrated my account?
    Thank you.

    Your research and understanding is correct. If you want to use DPS to target anything other than an iPad you need Professional or Enterprise edition.

  • Hi where can I learn how to develop app for ios in Singapore?

    I am new to iOS development. Are there any courses from apple or elsewhere in Singapore that I can learn how to develop apps for iPad and iPhone  platform?
    Thanks.

    There are a number of good resources. Stanford did indeed start up the iOS development class again, but the registration period has passed. You can stilll download the material and do a self-study, though:
    https://itunes.apple.com/us/course/coding-together-developing/id593208016
    There are also Apple's materials, the primary source of development information:
    https://developer.apple.com/devcenter/ios/index.action
    If you do a web search for "iOS development", you'll find a number of other sites that should be of help.

    You are not talking to Apple here, just us users. You can give feedback to Apple if you like, but most companies are unlikely to start giving away core products to everybody.
