I have set up our school ipads to be supervised by Apple Configurator and am using VPP to buy apps.  I now find the supervised ipads do not allow the pupils to download photos or movies etc. Any suggestions would be great please.

I have set up our school ipads to be supervised by Apple Configurator and am using VPP to buy apps. I did this initially as our school internet connection was stopping us from being able to update the IOS and our County was offering a managed system, Lightspeed, which took control of every device in school which proved very expensive.  I now find the supervised ipads do not allow the pupils to download photos or movies etc. As we frequently use the ipads as cameras this is causing us a problem. We have a school imac that I use to keep the devices updated with Apple Configurator (not connected to our network), and this doesn't seem to offer any solution to download them either.  I was told there was a setting in Apple Configurator to allow other computers to download from supervised devices, but I can't see it anywhere.  I am very new to this so any advice or help would be greatly appreciated please.

I assume you are wanting to take the photos and movies off the iPads?
Connect the iPad to a Apple computer. Open "Image Capture". Any photos or video can me imported to the desktop or other location on your computer.
I had this same problem last year and as we have no wifi I asked lots of people at Apple what I could do - no one provided this answer (a little unbelievable!). If you have wifi using something like dropbox would be an easier solution.
Hope this helps

  • I'm trying to plug an external audio device (tape deck) into the audio input. In the sound preferences pane I'm only getting the built in microphone as an option. I tried restarting without effect. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    For some reason the option to select switch the audio port to 'input' is not coming up.
    Thanks.

    If your computer is running Snow Leopard, and is not at 10.6.8, you could use
    Software Update to get final Combo Update 10.6.8 v. 1.1 for Snow Leopard.
    Aside from that (you may have already done so) here is a free-running
    application that may help your line-in audio, by the name of LineIn
    http://www.rogueamoeba.com/freebies/ and it suggests possibilities.
    There also are USB input methods using those for audio; not sure what
    is still available, a few great ones no longer were. One from Belkin a few
    years ago, called the iMic, offered great options over USB.
    Hopefully the free application can help.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • I recently downloaded a series of instructional videos.  They are in mp4 format and rather large (~500MB on average).  When I try and open them with Quicktime (default) they will not play.  Are there file size restrictions?  Any suggestions would be great

    Try VLC Media Player.  It has a reputation for playing just about anything you throw at it.

  • I prepare chronologies in word, and i am trying to do the same in pages using tables and cells. But somtimes i need a cell to wrap onto the next page but I can't work out how to do it - any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

    I prepare chronologies in word, and I am trying to do the same in pages using tables and cells. But sometimes I need a cell to wrap onto the next page because the contents are bigger than the page or the space left on the page,  but I can't work out how to do it - any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

    What are the different opinions on why pages should not achieve this?
    As far as I know, Apple is free to choose to offer this or that feature.
    They never said that they want to clone Word or even compete with it.
    Differences between tables in both worlds are numerous.
    In Pages (or Numbers)
    - we can't sort a single column
    - we can't sort by row
    - we can't insert or remove a single cell
    - a cell can't cross pages boundaries
    If I understand well these design choices match :

    Apple Human Interface Guidelines:
    Apply the 80 Percent Solution
    During the design process, if you discover problems with your product design, you might consider applying the 80 percent solution‚ that is, designing your software to meet the needs of at least 80 percent of your users. This type of design typically favors simpler, more elegant approaches to problems.
    If you try to design for the 20 percent of your target audience who are power users, your design may not be usable by the other 80 percent of users. Even though that smaller group of power users is likely to have good ideas for features, the majority of your user base may not think in the same way. Involving a broad range of users in your design process can help you find the 80 percent solution.

    As a registered developer which should be the only way you have access to the iTunes and iOS BETA, you have access to direct communication with the appropriate Apple personnel and/or access to the Apple forums for registered developers.

  • When priniting jewel case inserts, my song order is reversed. The numbering is correct, but the song titles are incorrect. This only happens on jewel case inserts. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi,
    I have exactly, exactly!! thesame annoying problem you have or had. I don't know what to do and i am reallyfrustrated with the dumb limited inside the box solutions offered to me. It'slike if you have a problem with your ipod or iphone you can either restore it,uninstall/reinstall itunes and thats pretty much it. I am sorry but that isjust f***** up.
    anyway, regardless to all that,i was wondering if you had any success in solving this problem (something otherthan using a different computer which oddly enough seemed to work for somereason..?? why???, weird) since April.
    I am on the edge of givingup.
    thank you in advance.

  • My device is recognized by itunes but won't sync and failed the sync diagnostic test.  I've restarted the computer, reset the ipod . . . nothing works.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

    iTunes shows the iPod is connected but doesn't show it in the drop down menu under Devices, and the "sync" option is grayed out, so I can't sync the nano with iTunes.  I ran the diagnostic tests and it shows the device is connected, but it failed the sync test - it said nothing was connected, even though it passed the connectivity test.  We've had the iPod for a few months but this is the first time we've tried to do anything with it.  It's fully charged but just won't sync.  I turned it off, turned it on.  I reset it.  I restarted the computer.  I'm not sure where to go from here.

    A couple of things to check:
    Are there any backups listed in iTunes/settings/devices? Since backing up is the first step of the sync process, iTunes might be stuck trying to read the content of the last backup in order to replace it with the new one.
    Copy the whole backup folder to a safe place, delete the backup from the list afterwards and make sure that the folder has no content after that. The folder is located here:
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    If you do not see the AppData or Application Data folders, you may need to show hidden files
    After that, make sure autosync is disabled in iTunes, connect your ipod, right click on it in the device list and choose "backup". If you can backup manually, transfer your purchases the same way, to copy apps and purchased media to your iTunes. If this worked, you should be able to sync again.
    To speed up the sync process, copy your photos to your computer prior to the sync and delete them on your ipod before you start.

  • My ipod wont turn on and displays a sad face with the support website. I've went through all the steps to fix it with no luck. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    Please Help!

    If the steps on the support site failed to correct the issue, it notes that the issue is likely hardware related with the iPod's hard drive, meaning you'll want to have it serviced/replaced either by Apple or a third party service.

  • I get the error message, iTunes not installed correctly. Error 7 (Windows Error 998).  Any suggestions?

    I have uninstalled and installed iTunes several times since it stopped working about a month ago. I get the following error message when I try and open it...
    iTunes not installed correctly.  Reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 998)
    Any suggestions on how to proceed?

    Hi there. I am getting a similar message today.  Here is the message I get; if you could help me that would be great:
    the procedure entry point kCMPyteStreamNotification_AvailableLengthChanged could not be located in the dynamic link library CoreMedia.dll.
    I've read other posts talking about QTXX.dll problems but this one seems different.  Any suggestions b noir? Thanks!

  • The new iTunes doesn´t allow me to import or see my homemade videos, any suggestions?

    Hi, I just installed the new Itunes on both my mac and Pc.  In the Mac i have no problems yet, but in my PC (windows Vista) I can´t see the movies i have in the library and wont let me import new homemade videos.  I try to go back to the old version, but it won´t oppen becouse the Itunes list is made by the new version.  Someody have the same problem? Any ideas about what should I do? 

    I am facing the same issue too. One workaround is to get all the tracks and music videos of that artist by using the search option and then select the video that you want to view. Then double click on that view and you will be able to preview the video rather than directly going to the preview option. This somehow works for me pretty well.

  • I am having trouble getting rid of tabs. They appear everytime I launch Firefox. I must have clicked "Save and Quite" at some point in time. Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated!

    For instance, there is a Facebook tab of a page I visited a long long time ago.

    This can be a problem with the file [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
    Delete the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak and any existing files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js .
    See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Session_Restore

  • When I open a new tab, an internet search option pops up that Idid not OK or install. I can't find where to get rid of it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    When I open a new tab, I just want it to be blank. I think it may be hijacked but I can't find how to delete/erase the internet search that pops up instead. It's called internet search and just has a magnifying glass as a logo.

    Clearing the cache fixed this for me. Before doing this though, I HIGHLY recommend booting into safe mode (assuming you are using Windows) and run the latest version of Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware [http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php].
    UPDATE: Well...that worked for a while. That page is back. I still recommend scanning your machine if you have not yet done so.
    UPDATE 2: I've found that the application causing the issue is "Cartoonly", which you should see as an extension. You can't remove it from Firefox, you can only disable it. Search your entire computer for "Cartoonly" (even if you have ran MBAM as suggested above) and delete EVERYTHING having to do with that garbage. Your new tabs should be clean and the extension should be gone as well. :)
