One commercial app on several iPads

Hi everyone,
I would like to know your point of view in order to deploy a commercial app (from app store) on about thirty iPad.
The problematics is : How can I deploy an app and deploy it on 30 iPad ? Do I need to purchase 30 apps ?
I studied two cases :
First case :
- All users (iPad users) create an Itunes account, and each log on the ipads.
- We create an Itunes account for the enterprise, and gift the app to users (sending by email)
In this case, we have to create 30 mailboxes (ie gmail), users have to create Itunes account. It seems to be an heavy solution.
Second case :
- We create an Itunes account for the enterprise and log on with this account on all the ipads.
- We purchase the app by Itunes, and sync all iPads with it.
- With IPCU, we create a configuration profile so that we turn off the "allow installing apps".
For this second case, can we buy once time the app and syncing then on all iPads ?
So what do you think about these 2 cases ? Is there another solution in order to deploy commercials apps to several iPads with a centralized order ?
Thanks for answers,
Regards

Hey,
First, given I am trying to find an answer to this question, I truly appreciate this post and the responses thus far. Apple for some reason has failed to provide clear guidance for a growing enterprise population wanting to purchase multiple iPads and multiple pieces of software. I would think Apple should take note because enterprises tend to have deep pockets and are willing to pay for software, if Apple only had a clear commercial based volume license way to acquire the software from the App Store. OK, obligatory rant has ended.
Second, in an attempt to research an answer, I found the below websites. They provide some of the best instructions on how to purchase applications multiple times and deploy them on multiple iPads.

Third, to answer the question, from my own experience, I can say if a user attempts to sync an iPad with another account, it will delete all content attached to the account previously on the iPad. Thus it would delete the app. You could restore it by basically doing the same thing with your own account you create for business purposes.
Your best option is to inform users to not sync their iPads at home should they want to keep their business profile. If you want your users to be able to sync via their personal account, then either you can gift the app to their personal account or inform them they have to purchase the business app on their own if they want this privilege.

Or you can go to the purchased tab (on the ipad's app store) and download it (again for free*) using the SAME Apple ID from apple's iCloud.

One purchased app on 2 iPads?

What happens when I install one app I already purchased on my another iPad using my apple id? Is it legal? Will the app work on both iPads in multiplayer?

Perfectly legal if both iPad are yours and you purchased with the same iTunes account on both. Once you buy an app you can download it to as many iDevices as you own as long as you use the same iTunes account each time.

Can I update several iPads from one downloaded iOS 7 update

Hi there,
I need to update several ipads to iOS7 and was wondering if it's possible to download the update once, perhaps through iTunes, and then updating all the iPads from that.
I can't see if this is an available option anywhere. All the iPads are under my appleid if that makes any difference. I'm on iTunes 11 as well.
Thanks in advance,
Maz

Hi there,
Actually, there is a way to do this... There are various updates on the net for each specific model... i.e. 3G or WiFi, generation 2, 3, or 4 etc...
Download the specific update as a downloadable file from the internet.
Save it on the desktop (or wherever).
Attach the ipad to the PC and iTunes will say that there is an update available. DO NOT run this but cancel.
Run a backup of the iPad. (And also perhaps, copy all the pics/other files etc. and save them to your PC)
Press <Shift> and Update button on the Summary screen in iTunes and navigate to source file (which in my case is on the desktop).
Perform the update.
Go through the setup procedure on the iPad without doing any further restores etc. No further action SHOULD be necessary from iTunes.
Note: all the updates worked without having to do a restore of the backup I made but obviously, it's best to do one just in case.
All files/apps/photos/music were left intact.
Good luck.
Maz

I have tried back ups and restoring, resetting, and even updating the pages app. And nothing has worked.

Is there a way to transfer or copy all my apps to another iPad with a different account? I was required in my job to use the one at work, but I would like to also see my current set ups and apps as in my personal one. Thank you so much!

What I suggest is that you try to pair your apple ID with you company ipad and see if it works.
Here is why::
I believe that the Apple rules let you. They are something like:
-- for a shared iDevice, you may put the app on one device
-- for a device you use exclisively, you may put the app on five (or some number) of iDevices
I'm not lawyer, so how you interpred this is a question.
Now, you need to figure out how to do this.
In the past at least, apple used this terminalogy.
    Personal
    Institution
    Layered. combines personal & institution.
It depends on how your company has configured the iPad.
I have read where you can have upto three apple id per device.

It shows up in the store as a universal app, so you should be ok to go.

you should have two separate account

Can I share one iTunes account for my iPad and two I phones? If so, how can I get the purchased apps and music on all three devices? How do I sync all the devices to have the same music and apps?

You can set up an iCloud account on each one (the SAME iCloud account using the same AppleID on each) and then sync via iCloud.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5262\
However, an iCloud backup nor sync contains purchased content - that is available for redownload from the iTunes and App stores (so no need to waste iCloud space storing it for you).
So, for purchased content, you will have to download it on each device - just use the same AppleID and download each item on each device.
Without a computer to aid the sync'ing, downloading the purchased content on each device is the only way.
P.S audiobooks cannot be re-downloaded once purchased (all other content can be), so without a computer to save, store and move the audiobook files around, you will only be able to put those on one device - the one you first purchase it on.

Is there ONE single app available for TASK and CALENDAR both which can be synched with Google account for OSX, iPhone, iPad

Hi guys,
I have been searching to death to find ONE great app which:
1- handles both calendar (events) & To-Do list (task).
2- connects to googla account (both calendar & task)
3- should be availabe in Mac OS (OSX), iPhone & iPad (iOS) & Android.
For instance, Pocket Informant, Calengoo or BusyCal.
All of them takes care of the first, but fail in at least one of the remaining features.
Pocket informant:
1- Yes
2- Calender: Yes, Task: No
3- No Mac OS X version but it gives to web-based app (15$).
Calengoo:
1- Yes
2- Yes
3- No Mac OS X version.
BusyCal:
1- Yes
2- Calender: Yes, Task: No
3- No Portable Version. (iOS & Android).
There is no one or combined solution for this!!! If there is no single software to take care of both, please give me a solution but keep in your mind that ONE app is very important to me on a single device not two because I know already that!
At least
HELP me plz!!

Hi,
here is a schematic that I *Think* should work, but I haven't bought BusyCal 2 yet. Reminders syncs with Toodledo, which syncs with Pocket Informant (I've tested this, and can now create PI tasks by talking to Siri); Reminders also syncs w/ BusyCal 2, so Busycal *should* be able to create, edit and delete tasks that will appear on Pocket Informant, and the reverse *should* be true. Likewise, iCal syncs w/ both BusyCal 2 and Pocket Informant's appointments. Thus BusyCal becomes your desktop hub, and everything *should* be sync'd up with PI on your iOS device. I don't know anything about Android.
Siri —> "Reminders" <—> "Toodledo" <—> "Pocket Informant" tasks
                    I
              "BusyCal 2" (desktop)
                    I
                 "iCal" <—> "Pocket Informant" appointments

Is it possible to transfer one single App from my iTunes onto my iPad, without losing the Apps that are already installed on my iPad?

I originally had the app (FilmOn.TV) on my iPhone, so it is backed up in my iTunes on my PC. It's no longer available in the App Store and I would really like to have it on my iPad. When I read up on this, it seems to say that if I sync any apps from my iTunes onto my iPad, that any Apps currently on the iPad will be deleted.
Can anyone tell me, please, is it possible to bring one single App across onto my iPad, without losing all of my existing ones.
Thank you in advance.
Brian.

Do you think you could email me the Filmon .ipa file? I lost mine the other day, and it would be very handy.

Three of my apps on my ipad keep crashing i just went to bed nd the next morning i went to use one them and it kept crashing i restarted my ipad i deleted and redownloaded the apps i updated my ipad and those three apps are still crashing

Try this - 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. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

Can anyone recommended an app for excel spreadsheet. One that I can username iPad that can do the same functions as excel of desktop,or laptop ??

Thanks for the advice. Just don't want to waste money on apps trying to get the right on. Not looking to do too much, just add filters maybe create a pie chart. Will the app you mentioned give added sums at the end of the spreadsheet like it would on the windows version?
