Server.app 3.2.1 how to rename Mac and iOS devices via MDM

Does anybody know how to rename Mac or iOS device in Profile Manager 3.2.1?
As I know we didn't have tools in Server.app before 3.2.1 but this functionality announced in 3.2.1 changelog.
I installed 10.9.5 and Server.app 3.2.1 in my lab and i can't find how to rename device.
I would be grateful if somebody help me with that question.

Thank you.
You are completely right and my test lab included only iOS 8 devices.
What I missed - the "rename" functionality presents only for supervised devices.
When my iPhone was supervised and enrolled to Profile Manager with Apple Configurator I found rename option under the gear/action menu.

"I have an Iphone 4s and i can't make a connection to my mac and other devices via bluetooth! ":
That is correct.
"Why is this a problem and how can i repair it?"
Becasue this has never been a feature of iphone/ipod/ipad. There is nothing to repair.

How can I get iCloud to use the same Apple ID on my Mac and iOS devices

I have an Apple ID that syncs between my iPhone and iPad. The Apple ID on my Mac is different and I cannot change it so it uses the same Apple ID and iCloud account.

Sign out of the Apple ID on your Mac and sign in to the one you want to use. Go to System Preferences>iCloud>Sign Out
Then sign in to the Apple ID you use with your iPhone and iPad.

How to audit Mac, iCloud, iOS contacts for errors?

Don't miss Winston Churchhill's Address Book Accounts Basics (with iCloud).
On syncing: is there an Applescript or utility that will audit every linked iCloud account, Mac and iOS device for discrepancies between the Contacts databases? I thinking of the simple case like ours, where we want everything stored in the iCloud Account once-only-once, plus whatever Group-ings are useful.
Even better - a script or utility that will force synchronization?

Thanks heaps Julian for your nearly instant reply.
Out here in the South Pacific where we get intermittent Internet connectivity, with gaps of weeks, the sync issue seems to me to be more complex. For sure, some of this could well be due to configuration/preferences errors.
E.g., we registered for iCloud sync within a couple of months of Lion release. We bought all of Joe Kissel's relevant Take Control books and tried hard to make the migration from Leopard/Mobile Me error-free. Long-story short, I'm looking at an iPad/Contacts that displays all of the groups from the pre-Lion Mac Pro Address Book, an unknown number of entries in the All Contacts view (some of which are local-only entries?). NB that 5 hours ago I deleted some ten of those groups from Mac Pro Address Book. But they still appear on the iPad.
And AFAIK there is no way to display the item counts. E.g., how many unique contacts exist on
iCloud
iPad1
iPad2
MBP
MP
How many contacts in each group? What groups do a contact belong to (option key trick)?
Today I discovered that both Macs had (I think) incorrect preferences left over from the iCloud migration. That is Address Book/Preferences/General should have had Default Account = iCloud but actually were set to "On my Mac".
So every new contact would automagically NOT SYNC. We made the incorrect assumption that following Apple's migration instructions would "just work" as they have typically for almost 30 years:-)
So I am trying to clean up all sources of errors and make every device identical. Absolutely guaranteed identical.

How to rename Photos and Videos ???????

Could somebody please tell me how to rename Photos and Videos on Iphone5 ?
If you cannot, what is the logical explanation behind it ?
Would of thought this is something basic....

Since photos and videos should always be synced to a computer for storage, rename them there. I'm assuming you're trying to find a way to rename in the Photo app, right? Don't trust your phone or even icloud to safely store your photos. Think of the iphone as a digital camera. Most digital cameras don't let you rename a photo.

I own an iPhone 4S and have installed ios8. Subsequently none of my apps will work. How do I uninstall and go back to the previous operating system?

Good luck at the Genius bar.
I have figured out that if I do a hard restart of the phone the apps will work for a time, but then they begin to all freeze up again after a short time.
This may be a problem of not enough free storage. Have you checked the storage used by your apps?

On How many computers and iOS devices can I download creative cloud app?

On How many computers and iOS devices can I download creative cloud app?
so far it is on an iMac, an macbook pro, an iPhone , and iPad. now it won't download onto a macbook air.

Hi,
see >>> http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html here >>> How many computers can I install on
I quote: You may install software on up to two computers. These two computers can be Windows, Mac OS, or one each.
If you install on a third computer, it will request you to de-activate on the other two computers. You can then reactivate one of the previous two computers, and use Creative Cloud apps on it.

How to use iPhoto on Mac and iOS in conjunction

I'm using iPhoto on both my Mac, iPhone and iPad. After the new Photo Stream and the new iPhoto iOS app has been released I think it is all started to get a little confusing. Here is some of my thoughts.
1) When I delete a photo from my Photo Stream the photo gets deleted on all my devices. Nice. On my Mac, iPhoto is for instance creating a "mar. 2012 Photo Stream" event, where all photos from the Photo Stream is keept -- also the deleted once. That's OK. On my Mac I can cleanup these events by deleting the unwanted photos. All my photos are synced to iPad but it seems, that I cannot cleanup these events on iPhoto on my iPad. Is that right? I'm able to "hide" the photos from the events, but that does not delete them -- and they are still visible on my Mac after their are synced.
2) I have an "Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit" making me able to import photos from my camera to my iPad, which I do daily when I'm on vacation. I thought that I could just import the photos to my iPad, put them in an event/album, edit/retouch them -- and when my iPad gets near my Mac the events/albums gets synced to my iPhoto on my Mac (without having to import them to the Mac manually). But it seems that the Camera app on my iPad is just putting the imported Photos in the "Last Import" album. How is Apple thinking we should do this? I cannot find a way to move them to an Event.
3) Generally, the difference between Albums and Events in iPhoto iOS seems unclear. After the new iPhoto for iOS was released, I was hoping that I could edit, retouch and choose the best photos from an Events and put them in an Album. I can create a Journal with these photos but that is not always what I want. For instance if I would like to make a slideshow for my TV, it would be nice to have a clean album where only the best photos from an event. How is Apple thinking this should be done?
Please tell me how you are using iPhoto on Mac and iOS. For me it does not work perfectly.

Not only do they not work perfectly, they do not work together at all. Pretty much the only thing they share is a name. They are quite independent apps. Editing history on one can not be carried over to the other, so you can't start working on shots on one device and continue on the other. Events, Albums etc have no relation with each other and so on. Perhaps the next version of iPhoto (for either OS) will move them closer together but at this time they have no relationship at all.

Some email images do not show while using the icloud web app. I can see the images on my IOS devices and in gmail but I only see a small gray box in the icloud web mail app. Load HTML images is checked in preferences.

I've seen the opposite issue. My wife recieved an email with jpg attachments. She couldn't see or print them on her iPhone 4S but they showed up fine in iCloud or in the mail app. I had her forward the email to herself and then they showed up. I assume there is an issue with how Apple is processing the attachments and resending causes them to get reformatted in a way that makes them easier to handle.
So yeah. Seems like some bugs. Hope Apple fixes them soon.

HT5538 How do you separate multiple iOS devices using the same apple id account for Face Time calls and iMessaging?

How do you separate multiiple ios devices using the same apple id account for Face Time calls and iMessaging?

The only way I have seen is to have each device use a if fervent email account, if they all are on the same email the FaceTime connection is either to a phone number or to an email address. If they ar all on the same email, it is up to the user to decide which to use.

My Macbook is not working properly, I went to a Genius Bar appointment, they were not helpful at all and just told me to go off and reboot my Mac and then restore via TimeMachine. I dont know how to do this. I am extremely displeased with Apple, help me?

My late 2011 Macbook Pro is not working properly it is very slow and extremely painful to use, I went to a Genius Bar appointment, they were not helpful at all and just told me to go off and reboot my Mac and then restore via TimeMachine. I dont know how to do this. I am extremely displeased with Apple at the moment, can someone please help me?

Your problem description is generalized and non-specific. I would make another appointment at the Apple store and insist they help you execute their suggested fixes.
Incidentally, if you search this site, Apple has excellent articles re: restoring a system.

How To : Sync playlists from iOS device back to itunes - Windows

How To : How To : Sync playlists from iOS device back to itunes - Windows (May work on Mac too)
NOTE - THIS WILL ONLY WORK IF YOU HAVE THE MUSIC FILES ON THE COMPUTER ALREADY
If your like me and format your computers only to discover that you've lost all those time consuming playlists that you spent hours on, well your in luck.
Without any Third-Pary programs it's possible to save those awesome playlists, and pull them back from the blink of oblivion.
Step 1 - Connect iDevice to your computer and then open iTunes.
Step 2 - Locate your iDevice on the left side bar on iTunes under the heading 'Devices', click the arrow on the left of the devices name and select a playlist.
Step 3 - Right-Click the selected playlist and choose 'Export playlist', Save it as a Text file.
Step 4 - In iTunes, up the top click 'File' then locate Library, move across to 'Import Playlist...', Select the playlist you just created and click open.
Step 5 - Your playlist will appear on the left side bar under the heading 'Playlists', Select the playlist and attempt to play one of the songs contained.
Step 6 - You would have been prompted that iTunes doesnt see the file, select 'Locate' and then go to the location of your music and locate the file.
(Sorry dont have an image for this one due to having all my music already found)
Step 7 - Doing this once will find all the music in the playlist given that it's in a similar location of the song you found.
Congrats you have successfully moved a playlist back from oblivion

There's a different method.
1. On iTunes -> Devices -> <your device> -> Summary -> Check Manually manage music and videos.
2. On iTunes -> Devices -> <your device> -> Summary -> uncheck Manually manage music and videos.
done.

TS5352 How to gift someone whose iOS device is registered in another region or country?

How to gift someone whose iOS device is registered in another region or country?

"When you shop for friends and family living abroad, you will be billed in the currency of the country where you want your products to be delivered. For example, if you shop the Apple Online Store Mexico, you will be billed in pesos. Apple does not charge a fee for international orders, however, your bank will determine exchange rates when the order is shipped and your credit card is charged. Any additional charges for an international transaction are determined by banking partners and the issuer of your credit card. Please contact your credit card issuer for details."
Am I misreading this?
If you live in the US you can purchase an item, pay with their currency, and they will get the gift and can redeem the gift card as it was paid for with the currency of the country.

HT201084 How do I create/manage my children's Apple ID accounts if I don't own a recent Mac or iOS device?

I need to create and manage Apple IDs for my family. They just received a couple of iOS devices (iPod, iPhone) as gifts.
However I do not have a Mac or iOS device that I can use to manage these accounts. I have tried to access the iCloud setup from my Windows installation, only to find it's just not there. Similarly, I was unable to find the option at the iCloud.com website.
Is there any option to do this apart from buying a recent iOS device?

Thanks brenden dv,
the pages you mention are related to my question, but they do not solve my problem.
At My AppleID page (https://appleid.apple.com/) I am able to sign in. But if I click on 'Manage your Apple ID' I am only allowed to do very basic editing of my account. I cannot create Apple ID accounts for my child from here. Nor create a family group.
Again, I do not own any iOS 8 device. I have an old iPad and don't use a Mac. In both my child's iPod and iPhone (iOS 8), the devices say that a parent (adult) should create an Apple ID for them. My question is still the same ... how do I do this from the web (e.g. after signing into My AppleID), from a PC running Windows (e.g. from the installed iCloud software), or from an older Apple device? (iphone 4, original iPad)?
I don't seem to find a way to create a family group, and manage both my AppleID (with credit card information) and my children's.
Is there such a possibility?
