Setup iPad for other user when iCloud pw is unknown.

I'm a tech director for a school district with ~450 iPads. Often, I get students or staff who move out and leave their iPads logged into iCloud as themselves. I need to get these iPads setup for other users. How can I setup an iPad if the previous user is long gone?
Nobody is going to give me their Apple ID password and I wouldn't expect them to. Recovery mode lets me wipe it but I still need to enter the previous user's Apple ID and pw to proceed.
I don't use Configurator; I prefer iTunes.

Might be some help on this link, but you may need the password.

When I select a netflix movie on my iPad and push it to my apple TV, why doesn't the Apple TV take over the streaming, so that I can then use my iPad for other things?

From what I can tell, when I select the movie and hit the airplay button to move it to the apple TV, my iPad is still doing all the work of streaming the movie. Why can't the apple TV take over the heavy work at this point? I'd like to be able to use my iPad as more of a remote with an awesome interface for the apple TV. The netflix app on iPad is great, and the easiest way to browse movies, and pushing them to the apple TV is fantastic, but once the movie starts, I want to use my iPad for other things!!! Can this be put on the "to do" list for devs?

Have you tried the Remote app on iPhone/iPad to control AppleTV, do searches etc? Should be easier than the remote alone and this does not involve Airplay.
Please note, only users read/comment here - your idea is quite sensible in my view (maybe have a 'Continue viewing on AppleTV' option or something. I doubt this would be high on Apple's roadmap but send them feedback here:

Purchase iCloud storage for other users

Can I buy iCloud storage for other users?
Thank you.

To the best of my knowledge, purchased storage stays with Apple id it is purchased to. To the best of my knowledge, it is unlike itunes store, and is not obligated to comply with local laws/regulations for downloads.
I wish sometimes that people like you could create tips on do's and don'ts internationally, since we are all a bit shortsighted when it comes to Non our country situation. Unfortunately that tip here will die in the dark.
BTW, I think your switching store may backfire for you, but I am sure you were informed of that on the phone.
Question:
Is it possible to pay in EU for iCloud accounts valid in China (RMB) and in the US (USD)
They do not care( they will charge in acceptable units and card will take care of exchange rate), as long as card is accepted by corresponding store ( it is if it is on your file, and if not on file -you will find out as soon as you try to put it on it )
As in the end they will end up back in the EU.
What happens if you extend the storage in 1 country and then move to another country with a different currency and extend it again?
I think I already answered that one.

Can I share documents with other users with iCloud as opposed to MobileMe?

Can I share documents with other users with iCloud as opposed to MobileMe?

No. iCloud provides no equivalent of the iDisk; it's designed for syncing calendars, email, bookmarks, contacts, photos a iWork (only, so far) documents between your Mac(s) and iPhone/iPod/iPad. The data is not accessible to anyone else.
For file storage and sharing you will need a third-party solution - this page examines some options:

3 user profiles on mac book pro. cant see one account in time machine - has it backed up? and for other users ''no permission'' to open folders - i just want to know that stuff IS backed up (before attempting upgrade to lion)

We have 3 user profiles on mac book pro. want to upgrade to lion but want to be sure that all users are backed up to ext hard drive via Time Machine. When I go into Time Machine - I cant find anywhere my user account (1 of the 3) - loads of photos and documents. For other user accounts - if i go to open a folder i cant ''no permission'' is the message. All I want to be sure of is that there is a back up and for these 2 reasons I am far from sure.

Be sure they're not excluded in Time Machine Preferences > Options.
Also, if iPhoto is open while a backup is running, Time Machine may not be able to back up the changes in the iPhoto Library. It will "catch up" the next time, if it can.
For other user accounts - if i go to open a folder i cant ''no permission'' is the message. All I want to be sure of is that there is a back up and for these 2 reasons I am far from sure.
That's correct; one user, even an Admin user, doesn't normally have access to another user's files. You should see the same behavior if you try to look at their data on your Mac.
Log on as the other users (or have them do it) to see their backups.

I created a form with Single Choice fields, 4 days with times listed. But, I want the user to only be able to choose one time, and the time chosen to be unavailable for other users. How do I do this?

I created a form with Single Choice fields, 4 days with times listed. But, I want the user to only be able to choose one time, and the time chosen to be unavailable for other users. How do I do this? I have 4 blocks of Single Choice fields in order for the summary page to give me each day in the final report. But, I need the user to be able to make a selection of any day and time and that apointment to no longer be available to future users when they log in. Plus, when the user clicks on the time, they are unable to change their mind and choose another time.

I'm afraid not. It's not rocket science but you need to do some coding.
You'll need to find a script (php) and save it to your local site folder. Then reference the script in your form's action attribute like so.
<form action="path/form-to-email-script.php" >
The input fields in your HTML form need to exactly match the script variables.
I'm assuming you're hosted on a Linux server which uses PHP code. Linux servers are also case sensitive, so upper case names are not the same as lower case names. It's usually best to use all lower case names in your form and script to avoid confusion.

Description detail:When time entry role is provisioned to a user account,the HR master record is linked,It is compleated after a user is created because a user id must exist .

Afraid not. The iPad is not intended for multiple users.

I want to secure my email account for other users of the i-pad. Is this possible?

I want to secure my e-mail account for other users of the i-pad....
Is this possible???

no.
The only way is if you use a webmail app - not the included e-mail app - so you can password protect it online.
The iPad is meant to be a single user device so it has no protocols to partition off any part of it (beyond what restrictions allow)

Setting OOF for other users using EWS

Hello everyone,
I try to set the OOF for other users using EWS in an Exchange 2010 SP2 environment.
I use this code:
ExchangeService service = new ExchangeService(ExchangeVersion.Exchange2010_SP2);
service.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("username", "password", "domain");
service.TraceEnabled = true;
service.TraceFlags = TraceFlags.All;
service.AutodiscoverUrl("[email protected]");
OofSettings OOFSettings = new OofSettings();
OOFSettings.ExternalAudience = OofExternalAudience.All;
OOFSettings.ExternalReply = "Test";
OOFSettings.State = OofState.Enabled;
service.SetUserOofSettings("[email protected]", OOFSettings);
The account I use is a Service Account our Exchange Team set up. I can see all service properties, so I would assume that the connection to the ExchangeService works fine.
However when SetUserOofSettings executes, I receive a ServiceResponseException “Connection did not succeed. Try again later”.
What am I missing? Unfortunately, the error message does not provide any helpful informations.
Thank you and best regards
Julian

>The account I use is a Service Account our Exchange Team set up. I can see all service properties, so I would assume that the connection to the ExchangeService works fine.
What rights have they given the account, giving an Account Exchange Admin permissions won't give you any rights to access the Mailbox content. For this to work the account you using would need to be either have been granted Full Access via Add-MailboxPermission
or been given Application Impersonation rights (if its the later you need to make sure you use impersonation in your code).
I would suggestion you try using the EWSEditor
http://ewseditor.codeplex.com/ to test this out eg try connecting to the users folders and then try the OOF operation via the EWSEditor option to see if this works.
Other things to check is if this is a Brand new mailbox that has never been connected to before then the Mailbox folders won't be initialized (you can check this using Get-Mailboxstatistics) and you would get an error trying to perform any of
the EWS operations. If it works on some users and not others the possibly your getting throttled.

While using skype on my iphone 4s i found after an hour or so the iphone was very warm and actually bit hot. Is this normal for other users too?

While using Skype on my iphone 4s i found the phone was heated up. It was very warm. I had used for 1 hour or so. Is this normal for other users aswell ?
And also sometimes when i get the call no matter how much i try to slide the cursor, it doesn't move. I miss those calls. It looks like it is freezed. Has this
happened to others too?

*Update*
I thought I had found the offending 'app' namely "Songpop."
I regularly use "Songpop" on my phone late at night via my wifi connection.
All enteries on my phonebill are at midnight (even though I have a data allowance it was excluded from allowance). I switched 3G off on Friday, played "Songpop" at midnight and at the exact time I got a "Server Error" message.
I posted a message on the "Songpop" support forum.At first they said this was a problem relating to my ISP.
I have spoken to my ISP and asked if there are connection drops at the time I have been billed (ie to establish if my wifi dropped and 3G kicked in without my knowledge) and have been advised that there aren't any connection drops at that time.
"Songpop" have now responded that "This is an issue to take up with Apple Support" see: http://support.songpop.fm/songpop/topics/playing_songpop_on_phone_via_wifi_but_i ncurring_download_data_charges_for_3g_useage?utm_content=topic_link&utm_medium=e mail&utm_source=reply_notification
Hopefully someone at Apple can respond ....

Wallpaper seems to be stuck for other user.

This was an archived post without an answer. I have the same question.
Wallpaper seems to be stuck for other user.
Posted: Nov 1, 2005 3:21 PM
Hi,
I have myself as admin and my girlfirend as a user on my iMac. If she changes her wallpaper to a different image (any image even one from the apple selection) when we rotate the users back to me then back to her, it briefly shows up the old wallpaper before displaying the new one. It's really annoying and makes the rotation effect look less than impressive. I've restarted with the new wallpaper selected, tried replacing it several times, etc. but to no avail. No matter what I do, we seem to be stuck with the old wallpaper constantly appearing for about 3 seconds before the new one replaces it. New 10.4.3 made no difference.
Can anyone suggest how to fix this, apart from a re-install.
Thanks in advance.

Is nobody else having this issue?
