DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
5. Release Home button.

7. Select "Restore iPad"...
Note:
1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY.
3. Repeat the process if necessary.

Error in Apple Configurator - Unable to Download iOS 7.1.2. The firmware image was corrupted.

The initial update of some iPads failed while preparing them in Apple Configurator. Now this message, Unable to Download iOS 7.1.2. The firmware image was corrupted, appears every time I try to prepare using the Configurator. Can the corrupted firmware image be deleted or is there away around the error?

It should be located here:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.configurator/Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.config urator/Firmware/
Try deleting the ipsw from here and re-download it.

I'm trying to prepare some new iPads using Apple Configurator and the download of IOS8 failed. The error in Apple Configurator is "Unable to download iOS 8.0. The firmware image was corrupted. Please retry the operation."

The error in Apple Configurator is "Unable to download iOS 8.0. The firmware image was corrupted. Please retry the operation."
Is there a way to get the Apple Configurator to try to re-download iOS 8?

Apple Support had me delete the image file from the following location:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.configurator/Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.confi gurator/firmware/
The file name was iPad3,4_8.0_12A365_Restore.ipsw
I deleted this file and ran the prepare again and it download the iOS 8 ok and successfully prepared the iPad.

Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time until the Apple logo appears on the screen.

Mike,
If by "still nothing" you mean they are not showing up in the AU manager after reinstalling them....
Im guessing the AU Cache itself is now corrupted so.....
Quit LPX
Open Finder
Press the option key and click "Go" in Finder's menu and select "Library". (This is the User Library and not the System Library and is normally hidden which is why you have to hold down the option key when clicking on Go.... to reveal it in the drop down menu that will appear)
Go to "Caches" dir and remove "AudioUnitCache" dir.
Now Restart your Mac.....
and then Launch LPX and let it rescan your plugins and see if that fixes things....
Fingers crossed...

Duplicate ipad names from Apple configurator

Hi,
I prepared five ipads today using apple configurator. I manually incremented the name of the device within the Prepare section of configurator after each one was prepared.
Unfortunately all did not go as expected. All of the devices were assigned the same name 'Ipad' and they show in the general settings about field on each ipdad as being supervised by our organisation. If I check the licences fields within configurator 5 licences for each app have been assigned to "Ipad". The devices however do not show up in the supervise section of configurator.
Any ideas how to fix this. The devices need their correct name and I would prefer not to lose the licences allocated by configurator to the devices. Supervision is set to on by the preparation section of configurator.
Thank you
Regards
Peter per Mark

Apple we have this issue too. Please help. The openly way I have found around this issue, is to use iTunes to install the latest OS, then use configurator to supervise. Please find solution apple. Over 600+ devices, and this really slows down, my process.

Using Apple configurator to up/downgrade iOS

Hi,
I just received my new batches of new iPad 4 (Air WiFi) for my company. They were running iOS 7.1 but all existing batch of iPad were running iOS 7.1.2. I would like to keep all devices using the same iOS version, is they a way to do this with Apple Configurator (I am using 1.6)? I got these problems:
To get supervised device, Apple Configurator can only download and install the latest version (8.0.2 at the moment and left me no choice)
I had read http://support.apple.com/kb/HT200241?viewlocale=en_US, which told me how to select a custom iOS firmware instead the latest version
I used IPSW from my local cache(7.1.2) and “Prepare” the device for supervise
The process stopped just right after Apple Configurator try to install the OS. Apple configurator got error 3194 and the iPad was left in recovery mode and could not be rebooted(Thank for a tool - Tiny Umbrella safe me from the recovery mode)
Regards,
David

Hi,
You could install older iOS before 27th Sep. But currently, you cannot install iOS 7.1.2 but 8.0 or later.
Best regards.

I downloaded a book to my Ipad and when I went to sync with Itunes on my PC- it removed the book from my Ipad, but shows it on the PC. I have it "checked" to be synced but it still does not show up on my Ipad? This also happened after I downloaded IOS 5

I downloaded a book on my Ipad and after syncing to my PC, it was dropped from the Ipad, but shows up on my PC? I have it "checked" to be synced but it will not come back onto my Ipad. This is also after I downloaded IOS 5.1 for the Ipad. Does anyone know why it would be dropped from the Ipad?

Sometimes simply restarting your iTunes, the computer and the iPad is all that it takes to correct an issue like this so try that. Quit iTunes, reboot your computer, and restart the iPad. Then try the sync again.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

Ipad deployment and apple configurator is slowing down

I'm new to deploying iPads and have loaded about 50 so far with 200 more to go. I loaded 30 in my cart but after about 20, apple configurator is running so slow especially when I get to the assign mode. And actually right now, the configurator program opens slowly. What did I do wrong and how can I fix this? Please help as I need to have these done by Tuesday.

See if the IOS 8.0.2 update helps.

Unsupervising my 30 iPads using the apple configurator is taking hours.

I can't tell if there is an issue or it's just taking a long time. Each iPad had many apps on them. I'd hate to stop the process if it really takes a long time to complete. Thoughts?

If they were assigned to people, it has to make a complete backup of each person's work / documents / pictures. That backup can take a really long time sometimes. I had one user whose backup took over an hour... not sure what she put on there.
Don't forget that you're sending commands to 30 devices through one USB cable. That's a lot of data, depending on what's going on.
If they weren't assigned and you're just unsupervising, it should not take long. Check cables. The unsupervise command doesn't remove individual apps, it restores the iPad to a fresh state - just before first use. That command to reset the device should not take too long. I unsupervised 29 of them today. It took about 20 minutes to finish them all (and a couple had errors). Apple Configurator 1.4 is still flawed, IMHO.

IPad mini 3 keyboard messed up after downloading iOS 8.1.2

I bought an iPad Minim3 yesterday, and downloaded iOS 8.1.2 last night. I woke up this morning, opened Facebook, and went to type a status when my keyboard was like this. It still is. I am able to type, but it's hard. Can anyone help? I restarted my iPad and it died a few minutes ago. Help!

For the keyboard, hold down on the little keyboard icon in the lower right corner and select Dock and Merge.
IF the iPad will not restart, try a reset. Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for aout 10 seconds until the Apple Logo appears on the screen.

I am forced to "try another apple ID" after I downloaded ios 5

I just downloaded IOS 5 on my iphone 3GS, and when I try to get in for the first time, I cannot advance because I enter my apple ID and it says, "Try another apple ID.. This apple ID is already being used..."

Contact iTunes customer support for assistance.

HT1349 My ipad has the apple logo stuck on it. How do I get rid of it?

I can't get my iPad to work. The Apple logo is frozen on it. I can't get it off to get it working again.

There are two things to try. If the first thing you try fails, try the next.
Two Button Reset.
This is the least likely to result in loss of data. Read that again, especially the phrase "least likley."
Unplug the iPad from the computer.
Press and hold both the home and the sleep/wake buttons (ignore the red slider) until you see the silver Apple logo.
When you see the logo, let both buttons go.
If this worked, you should see an icon instructing you to connect to iTunes. My guess is that the reset did not work.
DFU Restore
This will very likley result in loss of data.
Plug the iPad into the computer.
Ensure that it is running the latest version of iTunes and that it has access to the internet.
Press and hold both the home and sleep/wake buttons for exactly eight seconds.
Release only the sleep/wake button but continue to hold the home button for another five seconds.
Let go of the home button, then look at the computer screen for an instructional popup.
The popup should say "iTunes has detected a device in recovery mode. . .(etc)" Click accept to all boxes and let iTunes download and install all of the latest device Firmware and Software.
If no popup appears, repeat the above DFU instructions. If you 've never done a DFU, it may take about three attempts to get the timing right.

HT5567 I can not update ios 6.0.1 on my ipad they keep saying an error occured downloading ios 6.0.1 .What can I do?

I keep downloading update ios 6.0.1 but It can't go throught,howw can I do?

You could update your iPad from your iMac if your iMac is running iTunes 11.0 or iTunes 10.7.
If you have an older (or no) version of iTunes, you can catch up at:
http://www.apple.com/itunes
You say you are running OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard). I know that version can run iTunes 10.7; I do not know if it supports iTunes 11.0 (current release). Either one of those iTunes will support your iPad upgrade.
You would do the upgrade by using the USB connector to plug your iPad into your computer, having iTunes then recognize your iPad (which would happen automatically if all goes well), and then clicking a "Check for Updates" button on the right side of the iTunes display.

TS1702 I have iPad 3rd addition not sure if can download iOS 6 to this iPad. Currently it has iOS 5.1.1, can it be upgraded?

I currently iPad which is 3rd generation, I have iOS5.1.1 on it now, I don't know if I can put iOS6 upgrade on it.

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
