Problems with Apple Configurator and app lock.

Hello Folks!
I'm using a bunch of iPod Touch of the 4th generation (iOS 6). I locked them in an app with apple configurator 1.1.2. From time to time I get a message: The guided access is not available any more, contact administrator.
Reconnecting to the maintance laptop solves the problem.
How can I prevent this?
Thanks
Nils

Problems with Apple Configurator and i0S 8

Hello, I am using Apple Configurator to update ipad 4's (30) and sync new apps. My cart of ipad 4's was update mistakenly in configurator when I forgot to change settings to "never update device". My question is, why does AC keep "erasing and installing the profile" and why are pages, numbers, keynote sent back to the cloud to be downloaded. These apps disappear every time I try to do a simple update of a wireless setting, etc. If you can guide me that would be helpful

Apple configurator and App not authorized

Today was my first day putting paid apps in. I have 4 different paid apps, and 3 codes through VPP for each of the apps.
> The first one I did went fine. All three iPads have all have that app. Now, the last 3 apps only went onto 2 of the 3 iPads. It is telling me with a little yellow triangle "App not authorized." When I click on the number and open the screen where you import the spread sheet with codes I see this "This code has already been used. Each code may only be used once." However it is not linked to a device like the other three.
> Have you run into this? Any suggestions on what I should do?

+1 for what bcpoole said. Redownload the spreadsheet and reimport into Configurator.
Also you need to be sure to authorize iTunes on the sync computer with the same Apple ID that you are using in Configurator. Here's how I've been doing it using Apple Configurator 1.1.2.
First, go into iTunes and authorize with an Apple ID (Store -> Authroize this computer). Download the app(s). They will go to ~/Music/iTunes/Mobile Applications. Then go into Apple Configurator and add the apps on the Prepare -> Apps screen. When you try to add the app in AC (clicking on the "+" at the bottom of the screen), you should be prompted to enter an Apple ID and password. Use the same Apple ID and password that you used to download the app in iTunes.
Hope this helps!!

Problems with Apple Configurator

I've been having trouble with Apple Configurator lately. For reference, the devices are not being supervised. They are just being restored from a backup file with four profiles, and two free applications. The backup file is fairly large - coming in at 12.9GB. Using a Mac Mini with around 150GB of free HD space. I'm using a Bretford tray so I usually try to plug in 10 devices at once. This has worked in the past and have only recently run into problems since the update to Configurator 1.4.2 and/or iOS7. So, I'm able to to run Configurator with 10 devices plugged in (I've since started only plugging in 6) and no matter what I try I cannot get more than 4 devices to successfully complete. And actually about half the time less than 4 actually complete successfully. The error I'm getting is Code 4 and the description just says "unable to restore backup." It takes about an 45 minutes to complete one device and about double that to complete 10. So getting 10 done at once is a huge time saver. When I'm only getting 4 devices completed and many time less than that at almost an hour, it is absolutely maddening. I've tried every combination of restarting and reinstalling Apple Config and still the problem exists.
I have a constant stockpile of iPads, Minis, and iTouches coming in so it would be extremely greatful if anyone had any tips or advice.
Additional questions regaurding Apple Config.
1. Is there any way to install multiple profiles on multiple devices on the newest version (1.4.2)? It seems like the new version only allows you to install 1 profile on multiple devices or multiple profiles on 1 device.
2. Everytime a backup fails, Apple Config saves that backup in the MobileSync folder buried in the Containers folder. Each of there backups is almost 13GBs, so I'm having to constantly delete them to conserve HD space inorder to run so many devices at the same time. Is there anyway to prevent this from happening or auto delete failed backup restores?
I know this is very long winded but I wanted to get as much on my info out there as I could. Anyway, thanks for any help that anyone can provide!

Still problems with Apple id and emails after move to iCloud

Hi,
After move from MobileMe to iCloud, there are still problems with apple id's and emails.
I'm trying to delete a mail (email1) from one apple id, but nothing happens?
And when i'm trying to add a email (email2), that i Know isn't linked to another apple id, i get the message that it is already in use with another apple id?
It's a problem when you use these emails with facetime, imessage etc ...

My iPhone 5 and 4 both are having no trouble connecting to the Apple store, but my iPad (4th Gen) cannot either connect to Apple store, nor stream music using iTunes Radio. Keeps asking for my Apple ID and password. When I put it in, it says that I cannot connect. If I put it in wrong, it tells me its wrong. Tried changing my password on my desktop PC. The iPhones handled change and continued to connect, but iPad is unable to connect still.
Any solutions would be appreciated.

Turn off an iPod configured with Apple Configurator and in supervise mode locked to one application.

I have configured an iPod touch using the Apple configurator. The iPod is set in supervisor mode and I have configured it to start one of our own apps. It works ok. But I can't turn off the iPod holding the on/off button as usual. I dont get the turn off slider. I can only turn the display off by clicking on the on/off button.
I want to be able to turn it off completely to save battery.
/Per

I wouldn't suggest going to get it yourself. You could find yourself in a situation you cannot get out of and could get hurt. Second, as stated before, it is more for misplaced or lost devices, not stolen devices. Many police agencies do not feel they have probable cause, just from your statement on a map location to justify attempts to recover the device. There have been many posts from others who have had devices stolen where the police will not confront someone based on that map location. I understand you are impacted by the theft, but this is what we have insurance for. To protect your content, from now on I suggest you put a passcode on the device. I hope you have changed all of the passwords for accounts you had on the device, since all of your content and data was accessible to the thief.

I am problems with Apple TV and iTunes streaming

When streaming a movie via AirPlay to my Apple TV 2 from iTunes on my mac the Apple TV keeps either loosing the homesharing or just stops playing and goes back to the main menu. It does it weather sending from the mac to Apple TV or pulling from Apple TV and the same via Ethernet or wifi. Wifi begins streaming quickly but Ethernet can take ages befor streaming begins.
I can use airplay on my iPad fine to watch movies off of the mac and also to send to the Apple TV. Plex works great when using the mac as a server. i stream the movie from the plex server via the plex app on the iPad and then sending to Apple TV via AirPlay.
The problem only seems to be with the Apple TV/ iTunes combo.
Thanks in advance for any help. Been driving me crazy for days.

thanks but I have not upgraded to Yosemite. I have Lion 10.7.5
And like I said it a previous post took the machine to Apple Genuis and he said it was good to go!
Thank You

HT201192 Problem with Apple configurator 1.7

Apple Configurator 1.7 does not run after multiple reinstalls and restarts of the computer. I am using OS X Yosemite and seem to have all
the updates and everything. Whenever I try to use apple configurator it spits back message saying " SSL error - could not refresh ios update catalog"
What to do about this problem? How to make this software work?

I'm rather new to Configurator so I have a question for clarification. By saying that "the image does not get restored" would that include the folder organization for apps? I had several iPads go into recovery mode during the iOS 8.1 update. I had to reset them one by one in iTunes and then I used Configurator to restore the backup from our master iPad. When the process was done the general settings were there but none of the folders appeared. The apps were just on the Home Screen as separate entities. I had to re-do all of the folders for each individual iPad. This did not happen in Configurator 1.6.
I saw a suggestion elsewhere that if folders do not carry over one can simply tell other users to use Spotlight Search. However, I'd like to have the option of making folders on the master iPad and pushing it out to other iPads via the backup.
Please let me know if you hear of the bug being fixed. Thanks!

Apple configurator and apps

I'm running Apple configurator 1.7 on OSX 10.10 to deploy profiles to some IOS 8.1 Ipads. I've got the profiles loaded OK and would now like to add a list of free apps to each ipad.
This doesn't seem to work at all with Configurator 1.7 - whenever I select Apps and then click + to browse the locally installed apps, I always get the error 'Unable to import app 'appname'. The app's identifier is missing' when I select any app.
I've tried lots of apps, and they all generate the same error. Does the configurator not work with 10.10 yet or I am missing something else?

This happens more often then not lately and I am not sure why. But this is what you can do to fix it after it happens.
Do you have tens - or even thousands- of apps trying to download? You
need the account’s “queue” deleted by Apple.
1.       Navigate to: http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
2.      Click on "Contact iTunes Store support"
3.      Choose "Connecting and Downloading"
4.     Select "The topic is not listed" and enter the subject "Download
Queue" and continue.
5.      On the next page choose to email support.
6.     Create a message that says something such as:
"I redeemed codes using Apple ID [email protected] & iTunes is
trying to download hundreds of copies of the same app. Please clear out
my download queue."
7.      Wait for a response from Apple.
8.     ****After the queue is deleted, be sure to delete the computer’s
trash. All the extra app copies will fill the MacBook Air’s storage.****

Problem with checkbox value and app.settings.getSetting()

Hello everyone.
I`ve got a problem with getting saved settings for checkbox.
Saved settings doesn`t apply on checkbox value.
It`s strange, but it always "true".
So here piece of code:
checkMe = 11;    //any value for the first time running
if (app.settings.haveSetting("savea", "chck")) {
                      checkMe = app.settings.getSetting("savea", "chck"); // get saved value, else 11
                      alert("checkMe = "+checkMe)
                    if(checkMe == 11){
                        checkMe= false;   //if there is no saved settings, checkbox value will be false/ unchecked
                        alert("You run this script first time, so manual value will be 'false'")
                        }else{
                            checkMe = app.settings.getSetting("savea", "chck");     // if saved settings exist, get true or false
     alert("Yes, checkMe will = "+checkMe)
win.checkPanel.chkOne.value = checkMe; /// checkbox value will equal saved checkMe
var fff = win.checkPanel.chkOne.value; // string for alert
alert("aha! but checkbox value is = " +fff+ "\n Why so?")     // here we`ve got always "true"
win.checkPanel.chkOne.onClick = function () {
    var path11 = win.checkPanel.chkOne.value; // checkbox value to variable
    app.settings.saveSetting("savea", "chck", path11); //saving checkbox value
    alert("Saved this value - " + app.settings.getSetting("savea", "chck"))
win.checkPanel.chkOne.value is always true.
Can someone exmplain why and how to get rid of this static value?
P.S. just in case, here is full code:
function mainFun()
    this.windowRef = null;
mainFun.prototype.run = function()
    /*----- UI -----*/
          var retval = true;
          var win = new Window("palette", "Check option", [150, 150, 460, 455]);
          this.windowRef = win;
          win.checkPanel = win.add("panel", [25, 150, 285, 265], "Checkbox");
          win.checkPanel.chkOne = win.checkPanel.add("checkbox", [10, 15, 125, 35], "Checkbox One");
          //win.checkPanel.chkTxtOne = win.checkPanel.add('edittext', [140, 15, 230, 35], '');
     win.quitBtn = win.add("button", [110,275,200,295], "Close");
checkMe = 11;    //any value for the first time running
if (app.settings.haveSetting("savea", "chck")) {
                      checkMe = app.settings.getSetting("savea", "chck"); // get saved value, else 11
                      alert("checkMe = "+checkMe)
                    if(checkMe == 11){
                        checkMe= false;   //if there is no saved settings, checkbox value will be false/ unchecked
                        alert("You run this script first time, so manual value will be 'false'")
                        }else{
                            checkMe = app.settings.getSetting("savea", "chck");     // if saved settings exist, get true or false
     alert("Yes, checkMe will = "+checkMe)
win.checkPanel.chkOne.value = checkMe; /// checkbox value will equal saved checkMe
var fff = win.checkPanel.chkOne.value; // string for alert
alert("aha! but checkbox value is = " +fff+ "\n Why so?")     // here we`ve got always "true"
win.checkPanel.chkOne.onClick = function () {
    var path11 = win.checkPanel.chkOne.value; // checkbox value to variable
    app.settings.saveSetting("savea", "chck", path11); //saving checkbox value
    alert("Saved this value - " + app.settings.getSetting("savea", "chck"))
          win.quitBtn.onClick = function() {
              win.close();
    win.center();
          win.show();
          return retval;
if(typeof(mainFun_unitTest) == "undefined") {
    new mainFun().run();

Played around with different values, combinations...
Doesn`t work too:
checkMe = 111;    //any value for the first time running
if (app.settings.haveSetting("333", "check")) {
                      checkMe = app.settings.getSetting("333", "check");
alert(checkMe);
                if(checkMe == 111){
                         win.checkPanel.chkOne.value= false;
                        }else{
                            if (checkMe != false){
                            win.checkPanel.chkOne.value= true;
                            }else{
                            win.checkPanel.chkOne.value= false;
win.checkPanel.chkOne.onClick = function () {
    var path11 = win.checkPanel.chkOne.value;
    var path12 = path11.toString();
    app.settings.saveSetting("333", "check", path12);
    alert("Saved value - " + app.settings.getSetting("333", "check"))

White Screen with apple logo and a lock

Ok I shouldn't have messed around cause now I've lost everything
I normally sync on a PC-no problems...I decided to sync on my mac book, knowing I'd lose some stuff...I backed up too.
I was logged into itunes on laptop and logged out. I decided to just restore back to the version I happened to back up yesterday (cause now everything is lost). So when I did I restored it...then my iphone asked me if I wanted it to be a new phone or from an old version (I picked old) and when I connected to sync. the screen looked like all white except an apple logo and a small black lock on top right. This is what I saw on the screen when device syncs. It found device but seems like it isn't letting me in to do anything!!
This is on PC or laptop now.
Help

Well I'm going to bed..gotta be up at 5 am..hopefully they fix it by then and crossing my fingers that I can get stuff back in morning!
Thanks phil

Problems with Apple Mail and Gmail

Hiya
I'm keen to integrate my Gmail Account with Apple Mail via POP3, however having followed the instructions given by Google - it doesn't seem to work correctly?
I would appreciate if someone would kindly help me. I look forward to hearing from someone.
Many thanks,
Adam

Hi,
I want to setup gmail as the default email.I've tried almost everything..google notifier, don't like to have gmail inbox in my mac apps inbox ( I could do that successfuly ).I hate it actually that I have to use entourage to send photos first to my gmail and then forward to friends.There is nothing wrong with mac mail or entourage but I just love my gmail...help please!
Apple needs to fix two things to make their mail more popular ( infact the features are great especially with new iLife'08 ) : one , mac mail should be free like all major email services ( I'll be happy with 4GB free space rather than 10GB which they are offering now with subscription ) and second they should create userfriendly environment to use any email ids as default.
Thx

Problems with BB ID and App World

I have been having a lot of problems with my BB Bold 9780 (6) recently - when trying to connect to App World, I am told that a BB ID update is needed, but when I try to install it, it fails and tells me to try again later (and this has been happening for days!). I have tried the 3 workarounds that I found in KB29613, but nothing helped. I have also carried out a factory re-set and a clean restore, but again no joy.
I was reading another article earlier - KB29300 - and thought I would try this and delete "Blackberry Identity" from my list of applications and then re-download. However, I found that "Blackberry Identity" does not appear in my list of applications. Could this be causing me my issues with App World, and - if so - how can I resolve it?

Try deleting the blackberry ID at the core in application menu and restart the phone and install it again this will fix the prob definitely your friend JoKeR911

Problems with Apple Mail and SSL SMTP

All of a sudden I'm having trouble sending mail through SMTP when using SSL on port 465.
No other mail clients (Outlook, Thunderbird, Entourage) have the problem.
It was working then quit.
I'm scratching my head. Any ideas?
Regards,
Rob

Try using a different use account on your computer. If that works, then you know it is a problem with some config files. If so, then move /Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist to your Desktop. Restart mail and put in settings. Ideally, it should then work. Good luck!
