Managed iPads Wireless App Deployment

We have several hundered managed iPads we connect to one OSX Maveriks computer via a USB sync cart running Apple Configurator we also have a OSX Maveriks server to manage user accounts.
It is time consuming to have to bring the iPads in to the cart to update an app or install a new one via Apple Configurator. I recently read a whitepapers released in Feb 2014 that depolying apps over the wireless is not possible. However, the whitepapers did not have what was needed ro where to go or how tos on getting this working. Being able to have apps deploy to ipads around the building when they connect to wireless would be a big help. Where can I go to get this setup? All I cna find are whitepapers saying it can be done now, not system requirements and how to go about doing it.
Does this service use a particular IP port? If so I'd need to know all the tech specs this uses over the wireless to get it working.

See if there is something here that helps....

I recently bought the iPad 2 and never really did anything with the cloud on my iPhone 4s and was wondering if I can sync the apps and music on my phone to the iPad wirelessly ?

Yes, but that has nothing to do with the cloud.
It is simply wifi syncing between your computer and iPad over your local wifi network

IPad has apps purchased through 2 appleIDs

My company bought an iPad for the sales manager. The IT manager downloaded 3 apps -- Dropbox, Pages and Keynote -- using his appleID before giving the iPad to the sales manager. I did get the iPad reconfigured so that it uses the sales manager's appleID now, and she has bought a dozen apps with her appleID. But she cannot update the original 3 apps without the IT manager's password.
Do we have any choices better than deleting the apps and re-purchasing them under the sales manager's appleID?
(When it first came and popped up asking for an appleID I watched him put his personal appleID in there and said "are you sure you should be doing that?" I guess the answer is that I'm sure that you should NOT do that! And at $20, it wasn't the most expensive lesson learned...)
Does anyone have any thoughts about managing the AppStore on a company-owned device with company-owned apps? The sales manager's appleID is associated with her company credit card. The device gets passed around the sales people to be used as needed, and we are not interested in giving them all the password to the sales manager's company credit card!

How to update managed iPads (COMPLETE)

Here is my very short summary of what needs to be done to update the apps and iOS on managed iPads in the mobile cart. As you can see, this is very brief and concise, and you can do the update process in just a few minutes each day.
Ha hah ha, that was a good joke, eh?
No, the truth is that you must be prepared to be frustrated and annoyed, wasting possibly hours of your time on this learning the process, and finding this all to be way too complicated and difficult and annoying.
Updating the supervised iPads one at a time, is only just slightly less difficult than updating all of them, all at once, in parallel using the USB hubs in the cart.
Sorry, but there doesn't seem to be any simpler way to do this. This is what all schools that use managed iPads have to deal with.
The iMac admin account is "@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@"
I have set the admin account password to "###########"
Please inform me of any password changes.
1. System software / iTunes / QuickTime update:
Turn on Mac, logon as administrator
Go to the Apple menu (top left corner)
Choose "Software update…"
Install any updates it finds, restart the computer if needed.
2. Apple Configurator (iPad manager) update
Go to the Apple menu (top left corner)
Choose "App Store…"
Look across top of window, far right says "Updates"
If there is a number next to it, click on Update, then click the Update button.
App Store update account: @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Password: #######################
Restart computer if needed.
3. Updates for iPad Apps
On the dock (move mouse to bottom center of screen)
Run iTunes
Select Library -> Apps on left side
In dark gray band below app icons, look for a message like "Updates available"
If yes, click arrow next to updates message.
Top right of window, select "Download all free updates"
Quit iTunes
4. Updates for iPad iOS (operating system)
On the dock (move mouse to bottom center of screen)
Run Apple Configurator
At top of window choose Supervise
In left column select "Cart - 30 iPads"
"All iPads (xx)" should be shown in middle column
In right column "Settings" should be highlighted already next to iOS.
Click button "Check for Update"
5. Updates for Apple Configurator iPad Apps
(Should do this section if any updates were downloaded in iTunes)
Continuing from section #4 above:
In right column click on "Apps"
Click on + at bottom of Apps list. A file browser window appears.
At top of file browser window, 4th item from left should be selected, for "List view with details"
The "Date modified" column should be highlighted. If not, click on it.
Under "Mobile Applications" click on top program name in list, note in modified column it says "Today"
Scroll down until you find the last item updated "Today"
Hold down the Shift key and click on the last item. That and everything above is now selected.
Click Open button on window
Logon with management account:
U: **************************
P: ##########################
In bottom left corner it will say "Updating…"
For every program that was updated, a window will pop up that says "Item exists, do you want to replace it?" and you have to keep clicking Update over and over and over until all the Updates are done.
The Update button moves around depending on window size, so you can't just leave the mouse in one spot to hit all the Replace buttons.
Click the Apply button at the bottom center of the Apple Configurator window
6. Updating all the supervised iPads at once
You are now ready to connect the iPads and Apple Configurator will automatically install the latest iOS version, and the latest iPad app versions.
If Apple Configurator is not already running:
- On the dock (move mouse to bottom center of screen)
- Run Apple Configurator
- At top of window choose Supervise
- In left column select "Cart - 30 iPads"
If the iPad cart has cable trays that can slide, open the back of the cart so they are able to slide backwards. Otherwise if not, make sure there is enough slack to plug in an iPad and insert it backwards with the cable and plug to the rear.
Flip all the iPads over in the cart, so the "top edge" with the power button is exposed. This allows you to power on the iPads during the update, explained in the section below.
On the back of the cart, unplug all iPad cords from the white Apple power bricks, and plug into open ports on the USB hubs
Plug the USB cable from the cart into the back of the iMac
Wait for the iPads to be recognized by the iMac, about a minute or so. They should start to automatically update.
It will take a while for each iPad to download any iOS updates and install apps, maybe 30-45 minutes.
!! UPDATE CAN FAIL IF YOU AREN'T VIGILANT !!
When you see an iPad listed as "restoring backup" (after about 30 minutes), you must check the iPad to see if its screen is black. If it is black, you must reach over and press the power button for that iPad about 2-3 seconds, or the restore will FAIL.
You have to sit there and periodically watch for any iPad that says it is "restoring backup". The iPad shows a spinning timer, then the Apple logo, and the screen goes black. This is where you must manually turn on the iPad, or the process fails and you will have to start over for that iPad.
You have a couple minutes to turn on the iPad after it says "restoring backup", but there is no notification at all when Apple Configurator shifts from "Installing Apps" (30+ min) to "Restoring Backup". So you just have to sit there, and wait, and watch.
Once all the iPads have been updated, you need to unplug all of them from the USB hubs and back into the Apple charging bricks. This is because the USB hubs shut down and will not charge the iPads, if they are not always connected to the iMac, which is in a stationary location in the elementary library.
7. Dealing with passcodes on iPads
Some iPads will inexplicably fail to update, with error messages such as "could not apply policy". These usually have passcodes installed by students.
There is no way to simply remove the passcode and keep on using the iPad. It is necessary to completely erase the device and all data on it, reinstalling the operating system and all programs.
There is no way to disable the passcode or prevent students from setting a passcode.
A partial solution is for me to set a passcode, set the device auto-lock time to never, and staff must unlock the iPads themselves before handing the devices out to students. Students must not be told this passcode, or they can again change it and lock the device.
So, to remove a passcode, first look at the device in the supervised group list. Select it and copy the name of the device to the clipboard, or write it down.
Right click on the device and choose Unsupervise. It will be erased and rebooted, which takes about 30 minutes. It then appears on the leftmost Prepare section for setting up new devices.
Set this device to be Supervised, enter the name you copied previously, tell it to update the iOS, apply the Student security profile, and use the most recent backup (I've added dates to the backup names).
On the Apps tab, select all apps (checkmark next to everything).
Click Apply
Setting up for supervision takes an additional 30-45 minutes, and you will need to wait for it to say "restoring backup", at which point you need to manually power on the iPad as discussed previously, or this whole process fails and you will have to start over.
Yep, that's all it takes! As you can see, it should be a piece of cake to learn to do this, right?

Hi TanPart,
I have changed the code which you have give in order to get the files from SharePoint 2010 Foundation Document Library.But i am getting below error in powershell.
Property 'ListItemCollectionPosition' cannot be found on this object; make sure it exists and is settable.
Could you tell me which is the issues in it?

Looking for an iPad(iPad/Mac) app that allows for playlists to migrate to iPad

I am specifially and exclusively looking for recommendations for an iPad(iPad/Mac) app that allows for my playlists to be migrated to iPad intact and playable.
iTunes -> Podcast/Music/Videos does not support mixed (music/video/podcast) playlits or video playlist at all. The app(s) should be able to easily create these playlist on the Mac (and manage content) much like iTunes (10).
On the phone with tech support today and they agree this is missing functionality from Apple. They suggested I reach out on to other users that may have a thrid party solution.

Requires each device/user have an unique Apple ID(verifiable email address):
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/find-my-friends/id466122094?mt=8
Otherwise you can use Find My Phone, but requires logging in for each separate user. Find My Friends(built by Apple) will show everyone's location on one device.

How to configure CA for access to a Web Service from an app deployed in WL

Hi everyone.
I have an app deployed in a WLS (10.3). This app acts like a web service client and works correctly (spring + cxf). The web service is provided by an external company and now they want to switch to https. They are using a self signed certificate. My company's support staff told me that they already configured the domain's trusted key store but the app fails to invoke the WS with the following error:

I'm the app's developer and I don't have experience in this subjects. Is the wl misconfigured? Should I do something from the app to reference the keystore?
Thanks un advance.
Sorry for my english.

Hi user10939158, thank you for your response. Maybe I was not precise in my previous post. I know how certificates work and that I should not be using self signed ones. Due to a reason (non technical) we MUST use a self signed certificates. Considering this as a prerequisite let me clarify my situation:
- We added the certificate to the custom trust store connfigured in WL
- We configure the managed server to be more "verbose" about SSL stuff
- When the managed server start it outputs the following lines in the log:
<Dec 13, 2010 5:31:21 PM ARST> <Notice> <Security> <BEA-090169> <Loading trusted certificates from the JKS keystore file /wldomains/desa_domain/TrustCTWebservices.jks.>
<Dec 13, 2010 5:31:21 PM ARST> <Debug> <SecuritySSL> <BEA-000000> <SSLContextManager: loaded 1 trusted CAs from /wldomains/desa_domain/TrustCTWebservices.jks>
<Dec 13, 2010 5:31:21 PM ARST> <Debug> <SecuritySSL> <BEA-000000> <Subject: CN=jserver, OU=SWG, O=IBM, C=US; Issuer: CN=jserver, OU=SWG, O=IBM, C=US>
- In this lines we can see the certificate that interests us (jserver)
- When the app do a WS reqeust we see in the log:
<Dec 13, 2010 5:32:43 PM ARST> <Notice> <Stdout> <BEA-000000> <trustStore is: /opt/bea/jrockit_160_05/jre/lib/security/cacerts> (THE VM's DEFAULT KEYSTORE!!!!!!)
- If we add the cert to /opt/bea/jrockit_160_05/jre/lib/security/cacerts everything works ok but I have doubts that this is right.
Why the default keystore is used?
Thank you very much
Regards

Windows 8 App Deployment in School Lab environment?

After doing some reading and research on Windows 8 Store app deployment from sources like
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=39685 and this forum and I am getting pretty depressed. Here is one part of my scenario which is pretty simple I think.
Lab of 20 Dell 3011 AIO Touchscreens that were depoyed with Win8Ent via MDT2012U1. For simplicity I will talk about a subset of my problem. I have 3 classes of Kindergartners who use the lab. The students aren't capable of really logging
in themselves so the teacher logs them all in to a shared account for each class since all they do is web / app stuff. I don't want to create 60 accounts for this young of kids since they can't handle the process anyway.
Here is my understanding of what I would have to do if I wanted to install Fresh Paint (a great free app) for all the students to use.
1. Create a minimum of 4 Microsoft accounts due to device limits of store app install.
2. Assign / attach those Microsoft accounts to specific lab machines (while logged in as each shared student account).
3. Login to each of my 20 lab machines as each of the 3 share accounts (which can't have roaming profile since Windows <-> Microsoft account association now needs to be unique). This would be a minimum of 60 individual logins for this one
app and one grade.
4. Install the app on a per user / per device basis.
5. Potentially repeat process any time an update is released since the students can't handle it themselves.
I think this is the majority of the process, am I leaving any important steps or details out? This sounds like it would be HOURS of work to install ONE app for ONE grade. I could potentially need 5-10 unique apps per grade.
This just isn't feasible on any type of scale. Even this limited amount of devices / users is overkill when dealing with users who are to young to maintain their own devices or exist in lab environment. In reading the doc refrenced above it doesn't
seem like there is a solution for this offered by MDT, SCCM or Intune? Please tell me I am missing the magic deploy button? Also I don't even want to begin to think about apps that aren't free and managing that.
Thanks for any helpful info.

No, you're not missing the magic deploy button :(
If a Windows Store App (aka Modern UI app aka Metro App) is offered via the Windows Store, and not offered directly by the application developer, the only legitimate way to get that app is via the Store, and that requires an MS account.
ConfigMgr offers two "deployment" methods;
a) deep-link into the web-based Windows Store. The logged-on user must have an MS account and use that account to authenticate to the store. even if the app is free.
b) sideload. requires the appx installation package.
There are some other suggestions, but they are unsupported, and rather complicated:

The last time I spoke with our MS contacts (deployment engineers @ MS), even those guys can't get the MS free apps to sideload.
All the documentation around sideloading appears to be catering for situations where a company has developed that app themselves, or, has commissioned a developer to create a custom app for the company.
Apps which are offered via the Store, seem to only be available via the store. I'm not sure if there is some kind of contractual obligation with MS which demands this? (i.e. in the store means no distribution via other means?)
At this time there are no options to federate an on-premises AD to the Store either. Which would be a nice option, even if it limited the user to free apps.

Is there a simple iPad photo app for WIRED tether?

There are a few app such as CamCharger or Nikon WMAU that makse an interesting but cumbersome attempt at a wireless app for tether shooting. But for me I find that wireless is far too unreliable and slow. The time where it would be most useful, i.e., when shooting freehand outdoors, it is pretty much useless. In a studio, having a cord attached to the camera is not a big problem, however. This would allow much faster download of images.
There is one really simple solution that almost gets the job done: Use the iPad photo adapter which allows you to connect the camera to the iPad using the standard USB cable. When the iPad sense that a camera is connected, it automatically opens the iPad Photo app which then shows you thumbnails of everything that gets recorded on your camera SD card. Great, cheap and easy.
The problem is that if you want to actually view that image at normal size you have to select it and click on Import, then go into the Last Import album and view it there.
Does anyone know of a simple little app that automatically downloads and displays the jpeg from the card on the iPad? The basic Photo app is almost there but not quite.
Thanks for any help.

I did try that, thanks. I found one, FreezeFrame, that does work (with some bugs), but it allows only up to 55 minute intervals. I was hoping to find one with 24 hours maximum interval. I thought maybe I missed something, since it's a little tedious to check each app for the system requirements. Kudos to all the app developers out there for keeping their apps up to date, btw.

HT201335 Can I connect an Ipad wirelessly to a projector?

Can I connect an Ipad wirelessly to a projector?

Epson has a bit of software called EasyMP for PC's or Macs - this can be used wired USB / VGA / HDMI - or used wirelessly from either device without too much trouble.
If you give the Projector an IP Address in its own "Settings" Menu and then connect wirelessly using Epson's iProjection App for the iPad it should work.

Hi, I`d like to connect my Ipad wirelessly to a stereo to listen to my music from the iTunes library on streaming, but also to movies online, games, Goear-) and so on. I guess I can do that using an Airport express connected to the stereo and via airplay

Hi, I`d like to connect my Ipad wirelessly to a stereo to listen to my music from the iTunes library on streaming, but also to movies online, games, Goear…) and so on. I guess I can do that using an Airport express connected to the stereo and via airplay to my Ipad. My question is, can I listen to all the audio that come out from the ipad (movies online, games, Goear…) or only to the music from iTunes library? I`d appreciate any help. Alex.

On the iPad you can stream videos, photos, or music from the Video, Photos, Music, and YouTube apps to an Apple TV OR just stream music to an AirPort Express Base Station.

How to sync pdf files on ipad wirelessly to iphone? [iOS]

I get everyday 10-15 new .pdf files, i open them, edit and save with a new name on my ipad (adobe app)
How do i sync those files wireless on my iphone?

Hi,
You can either use (a) Adobe Document Cloud or (b) AirDrop.
(a) Adobe Document Cloud (the cloud storage formerly known as Acrobat.com)
Acrobat DC for iOS provides the integrated support for Document Cloud. (That's what "DC" stands for.)
You can sign in with your Adobe ID, open documents from Document Cloud, and save or upload documents to Document Cloud in the Acrobat DC app (desktop or mobile).
(b) AirDrop
Share content with AirDrop from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
If you would like to use AirDrop on your desktop/notebook computer, you need a Mac running Yosemite.
Mac Basics: AirDrop lets you send files from your Mac to nearby Macs and iOS devices - Apple Support
Hope this information helps.

How to install 3 books on a cart of managed iPads.

I have a cart of managed iPads which were provided a profile and apps via Configurator. I now need to add 3 purchased books to each iPad. I would love to purchase the books from Apple Volume Purchase and use Configurator to install. I am finding that I cannot do so. If I purchase books from iTunes bookstore, how many devices can I install the book on for each purchase (Amazon and Adobe DRM allows up to 6 devices). If I create multiple identities to purchase and load the books will the books disappear when I plug the iPads back into the Configuator? Or will Configurator allow me to keep books purchased on a different account on the iPad similar to how it allows for apps purchased and installed under a different ID.

Why does my iPad email app keep shutting down?

I just purchased my iPad 2 3G last week, so I am a new iPad/Apple user. I really like the product and now wonder why I have stayed loyal to the Windows PC for so long. I'm still looking for some of those useful PC keys and keystroke shortcuts that I am so accustomed to, but I am adapting.
My iPad mail app keeps shutting down on me, whether I am typing a message or just reviewing/managing my mail. I use a bluetooth keyboard, so it is not a matter of me bumping the touch screen that is causing the app to close.
I have lost a lot of important business emails while composing them and eventually stopped using my iPad to compose email.
Is there a setting controlling this or is it a program glitch?
Thanks.

Pam-
It could be that the battery charge indicator is showing 100 percent when you actually have almost no charge left. In case that is the problem, leave your iPad connected to its wall charger overnight, and see if that helps.
One other thing to try, is to reset (reboot) your iPad. Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears. Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow. The iPad will restart after a couple of minutes. Resetting this way will not hurt anything, and sometimes solves mysterious problems.

I am a school administrator. I want to know if anyone knows how to use an ipad wireless hard drive as a storage device for individual student work files that are only accessible to the student or teacher?

I need to use an ipad wireless hard drive as a storage device. I want the student to do work on the iPad , then save it securely on the hard drive, then be able to go back and get the file and continue working on it. Can this be done?

We use google apps for education with the google drive ipad app
The google drive editor is basic. But it meets our needs. Students go to the app called "google drive". They logon and start a document on an iPad and then edit again using almost any device anywhere(home or school): ipad, windows7, mac, android.
We setup each student account with folders for each teacher. Students can move documents into their teacher folder, and then the teacher can edit in real time with the studnet. It's like a multi player editor.
There's no quick fix to allow students using ipads to save work, then revise alone or with the help of a teacher.
You could also use skydrive, dropbox, or filebrowser, but the ability of ipad apps to edit and save revisions is spotty. It depends if that app developer has added support. You can see your MS Word doc files with those tools, but I don't know if you can edit the DOCX file, then save back to DOCX files.

IPad VirtualBench app Crashes

My iPad VirtualBench app crashes after connecting to the VB-8012 hardware.
1) VB-8012 never attached to a Windoz box.
2) iPads tested were Model MD368LL/A (3rd generation iPad, Wi-Fi and AT&T, 64 GB) and MH312LL/A (most recent generation iPad Air 2, Wi-Fi and AT&T, 128 GB) each running IOS 8.1.3 (12B466).
3) Both iPad Wi-Fi can join the VB-8012 (hardware) network.
4) Running the iPad VirtualBench app...
   a) I am able to select the correct (wireless) device (VB8012-serialnumber)
   b) VirtualBench app responds that it is connected to the wireless device
   c) iPad VirtualBench app crashes
5) Demo mode works fine.
Any questions, comments, suggestions, or the like?

This has been fixed in VirtualBench 1.2 for iOS ( https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/virtualbench/id896797834 ).
The 1.0 and 1.1 versions of the iOS app could not connect to a VirtualBench device with firmware version 1.0.0 because that firmware did not have the FFT math operation.
