Is there a way for Automatic Downloads to still install new apps, when the install app restriction is turned on?

We have several iPads used by remote reps across the US, What we would like to do is use the built in restrictions for the iPad to not allow them to install apps or buy from the App Store. The problem is that if we have a new app that we are allowing, we would need to either have the iPads shipped to us, or we would need to provide the restriction code for them to install.
I want to be able to have the iTunes account for the company enabled on the iPads, with the Auto-Download New Apps enabled. That way when we purchase a new app on either our inhouse iPad, or via iTunes, it is also downloaded on the other iPads as well. Right now, if the Install Apps restriction is enabled, even the Auto-Install seems to fail or just skip the device. If there a way around this, or is it something that can be fixed in a future version?

Not other than parental oversight. On the computer you can implement Parental Controls on a separate user account that they would use. You can then block certain websites. But you cannot do that on the iPad.
You could change your iTunes account such that they cannot access it in order to buy or download apps.

  • Is there a way for internal DHCP Scope to release scope addresses when the wifi client has disconnected?

    DHCP scope is configured on a WLC 5508.
    I'm checking if there' a way for WLC to clear the dhcp leasing when a user is diconnected from wireless?

    Unless the client sends a DHCP Release upon disconnect, which is not mandaded in the protocol, the lease will simply remain until it has expired.  If you're concerned with running out of leases, you only have 2 options. 
    1. reduce the lease time of your dhcp scope
    2. increase the network size to accomodate more usable addresses.
    There isn't a way to force a DHCP address lease to be "cleared" from the WLC simply because the client was disconnected.

  • Is there a way for a form field to show a name when the client sees it, but have the name disappear

    My client needs a PDF with fields. It's a letter. They want the areas for the header - names/addresses/company name/date, etc. to be variable, but when THEIR client looks at it, they want them to know what the field is. So they want the field labeled. But when the client then types in the field, they want that label to disappear.
    This one has me stumped! Thanks!

    In a text field, use Options > Default value. The user will have to delete what you write there when entering new text, or you'll get both.

    Make sure the Mute switch isn't enabled.   If you see orange, it's in silent mode.

  • HT204053 My wife and I just bought iPhone's, we use to share an account under one Apple ID, is there a way for one of us to share music without sharing the same Apple ID?

    We use to have multiple iPods, now we both have iPhones. When she wants to FaceTime with relatives she has to use my Phone because that's where the Apple ID is "tied" to. Now if we want to FaceTime each other it gets weird.
    We share similar taste in music so the music is not the problem.
    I'd just like her to have her own Apple ID for FaceTime, apps, etc.
    is this possible?

    Sorry... Apple IDs cannot be merged...
    I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
    Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

  • Is there a way I can download adobe reader on my iPad or the like so I can access some educational program's?

    Is there any way I can downloaded adobe reader on my iPad so I can access some educational program's. if not can I get round it somehow?

    You can download Adobe Reader from the App Store:
    https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/adobe-reader/id469337564?mt=8
    Personally, I prefer PDF Expert or GoodReader, though.

  • Is there some way to keep Safari from opening a new tab when clicking on a link?

    When one clicks on a link on a page in Safari a new tab is opened. This is fine if the link is to a different site. However, it is annoying when navigating through the pages of a single site such as is required, for example, in on-line banking. Firefox seems to be smarter in this regard, opening a tew tab in the former case but not in the latter. Is there some way to keep Safari from opening a new tab each time?

    Safari Preferences > Tabs (in Safari 7)
    There is an option there for specifying how new pages open

  • Our daughter just got an iPad Mini and I set it up for her, but I originally set it up under my apple id in order to create an apple id for her.  Is there any way for me to switch it to her account as the main user?

    Our daughter just got an iPad mini and I originally set it up under my Apple ID in order to create an Apple ID for her (she's under 13 so I set up iCloud family)... is there any way to switch the main user to her so that she can use iMessage and such under her own account?  When she uses iMessage it's my account.  I can't find a solution anywhere.  Thank you!!

    Hi Maudluna,
    I understand you would like to sign out your Apple ID from an iPad. You can do this easily by following the steps in the article below. I have also linked to an article about Family Sharing which can help you create and manage multiple accounts:
    iOS: Sign in with a different Apple ID in the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store - Apple Support
    Start or join a family group using Family Sharing - Apple Support
    Family Sharing makes it easy for up to six people in your family to share each other’s iTunes, iBooks, and App Store purchases without sharing accounts. Pay for family purchases with the same credit card and approve kids’ spending right from a parent’s device. And share photos, a family calendar, and more to help keep everyone connected.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,

  • Is there a way to include S/MIME encryption on messages sent from the Photos app?

    I have encryption set up and working on my Exchange account, but I also want to send attachments with the encrypted messages. When I try to send images as attachments by selecting the "share" option in the Photos app,the message that is created does not indicate encryption. Is there a way to attach files in the Email app without going through the Photos app? Or is there a way to apply envcryption to the Photos app email configuration?

    If you want the virtual device to work you are going to need NI-DAQmx.  DAQmx has all the information that "virtual device" needs to actually run, be testable, etc.

  • Is there a way for me to send an ipod from canada to the USA online?

    does anyone know if i can end an ipod from canada online to usa online? i mean can i send someone in the usa a ipod from canada online?

    If you buy from Amazon or MacMall or other online store, you may be able to have it shipped to wherever you want. Amazon gives you the option of shipping to an address other that your own. I ordered my Touch 5 from MacMall and there were no shipping charges because of the price ($284.99 for the 32GB model). You may have to pay shipping charges to Canada.

  • Is there a way for GPS coordinates to override a 'places' tag when viewing photos on the map?

    I like to have 'places' tags for all of my photos in Elements Organizer so I can filter photos without the map view.  The problem is that some of my photos already have GPS information from my camera.  When I tag a photo that has EXIF geo data with a 'places' tag, it moves the photo on the map to the less specific lat/long of the tag and no longer uses the lat/long of the photo itself.  I would like to use the data EXIF data from the photo, if it exists, rather than the lat/long from the places tag.
    Alternately, it would be cool if Elements would auto-create places tags based on the lat/long from a photos EXIF data.  That would also solve my conflict between places tags and EXIF data from the photo. 
    Any ideas?  Am I out of luck?

    Why don't you just put a passcode lock on the phone so no-one else can use it when you're not around?
    You can look at the history in Safari, but that won't prevent someone from clearing the history and cookies after they use it.

  • I had to reformat my hard drive on an older Desktop running Windowx XP. The IE browser is not working now. Is there a way I can download Firefox onto a flash drive from my new desktop and install it on my old desktop?

    I had to reformat the hard drive on my old desktop. It is runninf Windows XP. I can't get Internet Explorer to work so I can connect to the internet via wireless. Is there a way I can download firefox from my new desktop onto a flas drive and then install Firefox from the flash drive onto my old desktop? If so, please explain the procedure.

    Go to a suitable download page eg: [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html]
    Download firefox, use the save option rather than install.
    Save it directly to the flash drive, or to somewhere on your computer and copy/move it the flash drive.
    However if IE is not working possibly you have some sort of setup problem so firefox may not work either.

  • I've already paid 5 dollars to buy iMovie on my iPhone, and now I've got my macbook, I've synced my accounts and stuff, and it still wants me to pay 15 dollars to buy the app again? isn't there a way for me to get the app without paying for it again?

    Ive already payed for iMovie on my phone, and it wants me to pay again for it on my macbook. Is there a way for me to get it without paying again?

    The iOS and Mac versions of iMovie are in effect separate programs (coded completely differently for the two operating systems) and have to be purchased separately.

  • Is there any way for me to get a 5th generation ipod touch 16gb with both cameras?

    i really wanna get an ipod touch 5th generation but i also want the forward and out facing cameras, and for me $200 is already kind of expensive for me, let alone $300, is there any way for me to get an ipod 5th gen without the extra $100?

    Like JEM24 said, Certified Refurbished is an Apple item which has been used but been checked over and (if necessary) repaired.
    Also, the iPod Touch 4th Generation is 3 years old and cannot get iOS 7 - meaning some apps can't run on it.
    Once again, here is the certified refurbished link: http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/specialdeals/ipod/ipod_touch
    Hope this helps!

  • Is there a way to force Photos to do a new pass on faces?

    Does the app "learn" faces as you give it more and more data to work with? Does it get smarter?
    If so, is there a way to tell it to take a new pass at the library with all the new data?
    Does it do that automatically?

    I don't have a definitive answer, but I spent all afternoon yesterday identifying faces, and Photos seemed to get better and included more, older photos as I kept at it.  So, it does seem to learn as more images are assigned to a particular face.  The scan of photos seems to be going backwards in time, as it started out with current photos, and by the end of the afternoon, I was seeing photos some of the 50 year old photos.
    As far as unidentified faces, you can hit <Delete> to remove them from the suggested faces list at the bottom, but they may come back on a future scan.
