(Mac) iPhone Config Utility Locking Up?

Trying to use iPhone Config Utility to add web clips and restrictions to class set of 32 iPod Touches. Keep getting locking up for freezing if I go above 2 web clips in the same profile. Anyone else experienced this?
Details:
I am using a Macbook running OS 10.6.7 / Using iPhone Config Utility 3.3 / Tried putting profiles on 5th Gen iPod Touches running both iOS 4.3.1 and 4.3.2
Created a profile and made some random settings and web clips; tried to install to the tethered "FPTouch-001" device. I would either get a "Profile Install Failed" dialog box or the IPCU program would completely lock up.
I scaled things back and created a "simpler" profile with just 3 web clips for school related websites; same result - IPCU would lock up or would get the "Profile Install Failed" box.
Scaled things back even more and just did a profile with 1 web clip -- that took to the device.
Worked up from there, added a 2nd web clip, that took to the device just fine.
When I got back to adding a 3rd web clip, the profile would not take to the device.
Tried 4 web clips thinking maybe 3 was just a cursed number -- no go.
Tried a different device "FPTouch-002" and that device reacted the same.
Just baffled. Not sure why the IPCU is not cooperating. Thoughts? ideas? Similar instances? Resources?
Thanks for reading this and for any help you can offer.

Iphone config utility for Mac OS 10.5

Is there an iphone config utility for Mac OS 10.5?

Problem: Just got a new IMAC with System 10.5.4, now my Cisco VPN doesn't work. I had my files professionally transferred, vpn worked on my other IMAC, now it doesn't (Error 51). I downloaded vpnclient-darwin-4.9.01.0100-universal-k9.dmg, this version didn't work either (Error 51).
I have tried everything from repairing permissions to entering code in my terminal and still get the error. Any solutions to this frustrating problem? I have spent hours looking for solutions and rely on my VPN for work, so I need help fast!
Thanks to anyone with advice.

IPhone Config Util stealing control from iTunes

I installed iPhone Config Util and now it appears that when I attempt to sync the iPhone, iPhoto sees it but iTunes does not. Is there a way I can give control back to iTunes. I am not intending to manage the iPhone on an enterprise.

Hmmm... It appears that all my Login items were removed from my account and iTunesHelper was the one which would allow iTunes to connect (noticed all this after rebooting the machine). iTunes will now recognize it if I manually start iTunes but will not auto-start when the iPhone is docked. Could not find iTunesHelper.
Does anyone know where I can find iTunesHelper so I can add it to the Login items?
I apologize if this does not belong on this list but this problem (of no Login items) appeared after upgrading Server Admin and adding iPhone Config Util to a newly upgraded 10.6 machine (non server).

IPhone config utility won't work after Mavericks upgrade

After my upgrade to Maverics, any time I try to use the iPhone Config Utility to install apps on my devices, when I click install, it crashes iPhone config utility. I've already tried re-installing iPhone Config Utility - Any recommendations? This is killing my productivity!

If you are using the Apple configurator there is an update Apple has reasleased for it for support for Mavericks. It seems to be working for me but I'm also using it with the iPad 4th gen.

Does iPhone Config Utility Have an admin password to override?

Hey guys,
Very new to the iPhone Config Utility. I'm wondering if it's possible to limit a phone (or iPad actually) using the iPhone Config Utility, BUT have an admin password that overrides those limitations? So:
1) install a limited profile on an iPad
2) when they need an app installed (for instance) they just hand the iPad to IT, who has a "magic" password and installs that approved app, then logs back out.

Real sorry guys, even though it's been 2 years since original post, but I've fixed it.
I am using iPCU 3.6.2.300 and the problem was not on the iPCU, but, you can fix your image on Photoshop like below:
iPad (Retina display) 152x152px; Resolution: 72 px/inch; Save as Bitmap (.bmp) with OS/2 file format.
and for other devices, just follow the guidelines for size (in pixels) at the iOS Developer Library here, with resolution either 72px/inch or 96px/inch. Just remember to save as Bitmap with OS/2 file format, not Windows.
Regards,
Phillmont.

Iphone Config util and profiles...

Is there a way to create a database for iphone users profiles or must I build a workstation just for profiles.

Hmmm... It appears that all my Login items were removed from my account and iTunesHelper was the one which would allow iTunes to connect (noticed all this after rebooting the machine). iTunes will now recognize it if I manually start iTunes but will not auto-start when the iPhone is docked. Could not find iTunesHelper.

3gs is not recognized by iTunes or iPhone config. utility.

my 3gs is only running 3.1.2, when trying to run the config utility i got the error code 0xE8000065, iTunes gave me error code kAMD Read Eror. im running windows 7. Any help with this would be terrific! Thanks

I have the same problem with my iPhone 4 - since updating to iTunes 10.1.1 I my iPhone is not recognised by iTunes. I have reinstalled and done all of Apple's suggestions up to the point of messing with the deep settings in Windows (I'm not confident that I won't mess up other things if I do this). The computer recognises the iPhone but iTunes ignores it. Come on Apple - how about a simple fix that doesn't require a nerdy ability to delve into the depths of software settings!

IPhone Configuration utility locked my phone now passcode doesn't work

Googled the heck out of this but haven't seen any posts even close to this problem.
I was testing the iPhone Configuration Utility, prior to deploying configurations to enterprise users. I modified the passcode settings to what i thought would be basic requirements.
I also created payloads for Restrictions, and Exchange ActiveSync, but haven't included in the post, since I am fairly certain they shouldn't have any impact to the issue.
Once I saved the profile, i deployed to my phone via email, and installed it on my device. It then locked, and will not accept the passcode that I was using before installing the "test" profile.
The only other screen that I made any change to, that refers to any sort of password/code, was in the General area:
I set a security password to control when the profile can be removed, but it is a password more than the simple four-digit that the phone appears to be looking for.
I can try 2 more times before the phone wipes, which isnt the end of the world thanks to iCloud, but I sure would like to know what happened....
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Kevin

Thanks Bonesaw, I did connect the phone to the host running ICPU, but it was still looking for some unknown passcode. I ended up putting the phone in DFU mode as suggested by Kilt, and restored the phone. This is the first I've used the iPCU, but I would have been willing to bet the authentication password for the profile wouldnt affect the device passcode. I must have done something else wrong, so I will try it again and see what happens. Thanks for responding!

Proxy exceptions on safari / iPhone config utility

Is it possible to setup an 'exception to proxy' in either Safari or via the iPhone configuration Utility?
I can have either everything proxied or nothing proxied using the wi-fi networks setting for my connection, unfortunately as this is a corporate connection, I have to keep switching the http proxy setting from manual to off.

*Update*
After doing some digging it turns out that proxy exceptions are only one way of doing this.
I found a useful doc that explains how to utilise PAC (proxy auto-config) file.
http://www.craigjconsulting.com/proxypac.html
Basically you can set your "HTTP Proxy" setting within your wireless config to automatic and point the device to a PAC file.
The PAC file I'm using is modelled on this:-
function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
// variable strings to return
var proxy_yes = "PROXY 192.168.1.1:8080";
var proxy_no = "DIRECT";
if (shExpMatch(url, "http://www.mycompanywebsite.com*")) { return proxy_no; }
if (shExpMatch(url, "http://www.myotherwebsite.com*")) { return proxy_no; }
if (shExpMatch(url, "http://www.my3rdlocalsite.com*")) { return proxy_no; }
// Proxy anything else
return proxy_yes;
Job done!

IPhone Config Utility 1.1 for Windows: Cert Chooser not working for SSL

I have installed the iPhone Configuration Utility for Windows 1.1 and I cannot add SSL certificates into Configuration Profiles. The Certificate Chooser opens, but there is no way for me to add an SSL certificate. Blank list and no button to browse or add a certificate.
Any solutions to this? Has anyone else seen this? I have tried repairing the installation, and uninstalling/reinstalling the application to no avail.
Sorry to open a new post for a supposedly closed topic, but the old thread does not contain any real answer...just an 'I fixed it myself' post with no description of the solution.

Hi Aaron,
Did you open a TAC case for this?
Escalations team found a problem with the format of the xml file in a very similar issue reported in a TAC case. The format needs to be as below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
9905
9.0.3
http://server.domain.com/update/CiscoJabberSetup.msi
or just:
9905
9.0.3
http://server.domain.com/update/CiscoJabberSetup.msi
Thanks,

Pre install iTunes content on a Touch with iPhone Config utility

It was recommended that I post this question here. My company is raffling 2 iPod Touches and they want to have some pre-loaded MP3s. Is there any way iPhone Configuration utility can help me do this without authorizing the Touches to my iTunes?
The MP3s were imported into iTunes (drag and drop) so they shouldn't have DRM.
I would prefer that they be as pristine as possible when the winners receive them.

Hi dxironman - thanks for the reply. Yeah you are right, I know this is a vista issue since I got my office staff to enable my work laptop to use iTunes temporarily which uses vista business, and I did not face any of these issues there and the iPad was ready to sync there.
Now just wondering if there is a way to achieve that experience on this home laptop which has home premium on it. Buying win 7 isn't really an option I want to look at now, given a 100$ + cost associated with it.
Welcome to being directed to any other links that have workarounds for tweaking vista.
