Iphone configuration profile - installed apps are removed

Does anybody have an idea what causes the apps already install on my iphone/ipad are wipped out when i load of profile from the iphone configuration program?

Were the apps purchased from the same account as your music? Do you always sync to the same computer? If both are true you have a seriously corrupted iPhone. Assuming it is not jailbroken, Restore it with iTunes as a New phone and do not restore your backup. Manually add your content back.

Wi-Fi settings in iPhone configuration profile not working

Hi there,
if I apply the exact same iPhone configuration profile by using a USB cable and the iCU it works just fine and the Wi-Fi is starts to work immediately. If I upload the profile to the web and install it via a webpage everything works except the Wi-Fi. Both times it is the exact same profile. Any suggestions? Anyone with the same problem?
iPhone 4 / iOS 4.1 / iCU 3.1.0.256

Has anybody a better idea how I could avoid the problem? Maybe there is a better way of profile distribution? How are you guys distributing your profiles (no MDM solutions)? I don't know if distribution via email attachment is a good idea cause sometime email isn't already setup so the better way is to go via the browser and a webpage or the profile is going to change the email settings.
I'd really appreciate any suggestions ... Thanks a lot!
Maybe anybody knows a cheap and good MDM solution. We just have 7 iPhones in our company syncing with Exchange.

Cannot install apps or remove policies w/ strict MDM policy already in place

I installed an MDM policy through Apple Configurator. That policy temporarily has installing apps disabled.
When connecting an iPad to my computer and running Configurator, it does not allow me to override that profile to install apps, nor does it let me remove the profile, even though the profile was installed with the Configurator in the first place.
This is becoming a hassle specifically when a student forgets their passcode and the iPad disconnects from the WiFi. Because I cannot install apps, and in turn remove profiles, I cannot wipe the passcode on the iPad without wiping the whole device.
Is there a way to update through configurator without installing apps? I know I can deselect them, but I don't want to uninstall them due to the fact that students have lots of work saved in some of those apps.
Any suggestions?

The GPO message turned out to be a complete red herring. Here's how I resolved it:
Go to the Add or Remove Programs section of Control Panel and remove the SQL Server Setup Support Files.
Browse to C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Setup Bootsrap\Cache\SQLSupport\x86\1033 and run SqlSupport.msi
Run the Service Pack 2 installer again, the Setup Support Files should show status 'Upgraded' on the feature selection page. The rest of the installation should complete successfully.
I hope this helps!

I accidentally restored my iPhone 5c and some apps are in "waiting" mode. How do I get them back?

I accidentally restored my iPhone 5c and some apps are in "waiting" mode. How do I get them back?

Hey Tfromon,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like you have an app that seems to be stuck on “Waiting," and the following is a past discussion that dealt with a similar issue and may help you as well:
App updates won't download on my...: Apple Support Communities
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4111336
Try tapping the App, so that it changes to Paused instead of Waiting, then tap it again to resume the install.
Make sure you don't have any paused downloads in other apps either, like the App Store or iTunes Store.
If that doesn't do it, try resetting or restoring the iPhone.

IOS 5.1 or iPhone Configuration Profile 3.5 for Windows has not fixed the issue with apply Proxy Settings

iOS 5.1 or iPhone Configuration Profile 3.5 for Windows has not fixed the issue with apply Proxy Settings via a Configuration Profile. Has anyone else got the same issue? Are Mac users got this issue?

This seems to be working for me now but will keep monitoring it the next couple of times I use it to make sure its not a one time thing

After updating My iPad 2 to iOS 5.1.1 , my newly installed apps are not working.

After updating My iPad 2 to iOS 5.1.1 , my newly installed apps are not working . When I try to open the app the screen just flashes and then nothing happens. Built in apps works fine . Please help

I realize that installing apps is not the problem. Installing another app from the app store is a recommended troubleshooting tip from Apple if all of the third party apps will not open. It resets your iTunes authorization when you install the app because you have to enter your password.
If you didn't install another app try it. Read this support article as well.
iOS: Troubleshooting applications purchased for the App Store
Try this as well. Quit all apps, reset the iPad.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad.
Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then see if the apps will launch.

Importing iPhone configuration profiles in Profile Manager

Does anyone know how to import iPhone configuration profiles into the Profile Manager on Lion?
We have a few profiles I'd rather not re-create.
Thanks

Thank you both. My problem was that I was looking in the wrong place for the profiles.ini file. I'm not sure now where it was I was looking, but I found it quickly with the links cor-el gave. I didn't want to use command line option (though it is a good suggestion) because that would increase the clutter from icons and I was attempting to reduce clutter.
Again thank you both for the quick response.

MMS fails on iPhone 5 with AT&T when APN configuration profile installed

Installing a configuration profile containing APN information to the new AT&T iPhone 5 results in breaking the capability to send or receive MMS messages through the Messages app on the device. This is for MMS (Multimedia Messaging) and not iMessage (that works fine).
This happens regardless whether the device is on LTE mode or on 3G mode.
The configuration profile we are using has APN information and proxy settings for this APN as well (proxy host and port information). However, the problem happens even if the profile contains just APN without any proxy settings info.
This happens on iPhone 5 ONLY (commercially available through AT&T). This is important to note because iPhone 4S with iOS 6 DOES NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM.
This problem happened last year too when iPhone4S was introduced. But it was fixed later.

yes, sir, without the profile, everyhting is fine on the 5, that is MMS and VVM.
This is really what confuses us over here too. We thought it was the proxy itself. So we took it out and created a very simple profile with just APN, no proxy, nothing else. MMS and VVM would still not work on the iphone5. But data (browser and apps) still worked fine.
Are you aware of the iOS 6 issue I also brought up in this forum, where removing an APN/proxy config profile actually leaves the proxy settings behind (even though the profile itself is removed)?
Well, if I remove my APN/proxy config profile on the iphone 5, the proxy settings are still there, as I can see browser and apps data still going through my proxy (even though my profile is gone). But check this out: MMS and VVM now work (despite the apparent presence of the proxy)!! This is actually our workaround at the moment, using another problem to our advantage.
I think all this shows something is wrong here.

Iphone configuration utility free app question

If I use the iphone configuration utility to add a free app to our devices, will end users be able to update the app without my credentials?

Thank you for your concern.
Unfortunately, I tried various fixes, like changing the USB cable, choosing another USB port, trying it on the Boot Camp partition, trying it on other Machines and PCs, I even restored my iOS, but nothing got the Configuration Utility to like my iPhone...
What I did then was mailing the certificates to myself and by simply opening the attachements within the Mail App on the iPhone it allowed me to install it from there.
Long story short: it turned out I could do it without the Configuration Utility and that the iPhone is capable of configuring/installing the profiles directly when you send it over.

Iphone 2g wont install apps

My daughter uses our old iphone 2g as an ipod. Recently, she has been unable to install apps that she previously had on the phone. They won't install from itunes either. When trying that way, the icon disappears off the iphone page. These are apps that had worked on this phone previously. Now NO apps will install. I have restored to factory settings without success. Please advise. Thanks.

They've probably been updated to require a higher version of iOS than the original iPhone can run.

Distributing iPhone Configuration Profiles: Safari Error

Hello,
I created a configuration profile using iPhone Configuration Utility that I emailed and successfully installed on an iPhone 3G 2.0.
I copied (via scp) the same file to server running Mac OS X 10.5.2. When I first downloaded the profile (named CP-V.mobileconfig) using Safari, the iPhone displayed the raw XML of the profile. Re-reading the Enterprise Deployment Guide, I added the proper MIME type: "AddType application/x=apple-aspen-config mobileconfig" and reloaded Apache.
Now, the iPhone displays "Safari can't download this file".
Apache logs no error and logs the access:
... "GET /iphone/CP-V.mobileconfig HTTP/1.1" 200 4005
Any suggestions for how to debug this?
-- Tom Kishel

I had the same problem and after a lot of head scratching I finally figured out that I had my MIME type set incorrectly.
Mine was set to "application/x-appleaspen-config" rather than "application/x-apple-aspen-config".
Once I made that change the profile worked like a charm.
To check mime types you can use the www.web-sniffer.net service. Select "Request type: HEAD" to see the http response header only.
