Supervise mode and Find My iPad?

Hi -
We are a school with 75 iPads that students take home. With the new security features of iOS 7 that prevent anyone from reregistering an iPad after it's registered to someone's iCloud account, I'm wondering how this affects our ability to "wipe" the iPads each year. Obviously when a senior graduates, they give the iPad back, but if they have enabled Find My iPad, won't this mean that when I try to give out these devices again, it won't let someone else activate it?
The key here might be that we are utilizing Supervise mode on the iPads. We run them through Configurator to Supervise them so we can use Meraki Management to push out a configuration profile with the Global Proxy Filter set to our Lightspeed server. Am I correct in thinking that because we've "Supervised" them, that even if a student registers it via iCloud, that we will still be able to wipe the device next year? And that if we did NOT utilize Supervise mode, we would have a problem with this?
Thanks for any info you have.

I have 1Mac computer running Lion. Can I set up 'find my iPhone' and 'find my iPad' if both those devices use different Apple ID's than the Mac does? As in can I set up 'find device' for my husband's iPhone and my daughters iPad?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
No, but you can log into any of their accounts on your computer at iCloud.com and see their devices.

Entering your Wifi password will not - unless I'm missing something completely - disable your iPad. The only thing which will disable your iPad that I'm aware of is entering your passcode for iPad incorrectly multiple times.
If this is the case then please see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
If you have forgotten your password for your router the WPA or WPA2 key as it's also known as they you will need to log in to your Router and setup a new WPA(2) key.

Are you sure?
According to Apple Facetime will only work over WiFi. IOS 6 will bring feature that you can make Facetime call over 3g-4g

Change your passwords, tell your carrier, tell the police, tell your insurance company, buy a new phone. There is no way to trace it without having Find My iPhone enabled.

I lost my ipad and find my ipad apps was deleted from my ipad

Help if I can find my ipad since I can't find ...find my ipad on my icloud it only shows find my iphone ...and I suspect may be find my ipad apps was deleted before I lost my ipad

The Find My iPad app has nothing to do with actually finding your iPad. It is an app that works like the iCloud version - to locate your iPad if lost or stolen. Remember that in order for Find my iPad to work, your device must be connected to the Internet via WiFi or cellular. If the device is offline, you will not be able to locate it. Find My iPad does retain it's last know location for a short time, but if that time is expired, it will appear as offline and no location will be available. This is of course assuming you did actually activate Find My iPad. If not, there is no way to track it anyway.
If you were using iOS 7 even if they wipe the iPad, they will not be able to activate it. Not helpful to you now I know, but if you don't get it back you know they can't use it anyway.

Password and find my ipad

If I use a password on mhy ipad mini (no 3G) that will prevent anyone else from getting into it (assuming they don't figure out the password). So if they can't take it online, that means the find my ipad feature can't help me, right?

Adding to Gail's thoughts, consider this:
If your iPad is stolen, the thief will see a dark screen and have no idea at that time whether you password protected the iPad or not. Once they click a button to see the screen, assuming there's WiFi in the area, the iPad will be connected to WiFi! That will occur before they know the machine is password protected.
I admit I've never tried this, but I believe Find My iPad will start performing its mischief before the thief even starts to understand they're being asked for a password.

AppleIDs and "Find my iPad"

Our school owns all of the iPads we distribute to our students. Does anyone have a "best practice" on how to insure "find my iPad" is enabled and under our school AppleID or at least an AppleID we can control?

While Apple doesn't make it readily available, there is a 100 device limit to iCloud account, although functionally it is closer to 50.
What we have done is create an iCloud account for each cart (if you use carts) and have all devices associated with that cart using that iCloud account (usually 30-32 devices per cart). We also have a facility iCloud account for each school/facility in the district to put the devices not associated with a cart into.
You could also create one for a specific group or room , even if not in a cart.
We turn everything off but the find my phone, otherwise the 5G would be gone in a flash.
Because losing the iCloud account password has become such a big deal with ios 7, we now have all icloud accounts in the district associated with a district email address so that we can keep track of the passwords. We used to allow teachers to use their own account.

Help re restore ipad and 'find my ipad'.

I have backed up my ipad2 to itunes and then updated to ios7. When i tried to restore ipad the PC ran out of charge mid way! Now when I try and restore ipad it states it can't until 'find my ipad' is switched off in icloud. i have gone to icloud and removed ipad from the account and it appears offline but this error message still appears.
I can't do anhthing with the ipad as it won't open beyond saying connecting to itunes and then error message as above on PC
HELP!!

Hi,
A remote wipe resets to factory settings.
http://www.apple.com/ipad/features/find-my-ipad.html
Setting a Passcode lock would have prevented anyone from using your iPad.
If you had a message setup on the iPad to return the iPad and you wiped it, that message is gone.
It states clearly here: "I understand that I cannot undo or stop this action".
It's hard to think straight when something like that happens and it's understandable, and hopefully you'll get your iPad back. I would definitely file a police report. Hopefully you had the serial number wirtten down and saved in a safe place for identification purposes.

Ipad 2 and "find my ipad" problem

i got an ipad 2 (64g wifi) last week, and cant get "find my ipad" to show it. find my ipad displays my iphone, but wont show the ipad, and in devices, it isnt listed. all other location services on it are working for other apps.
First, i spent a few hours online with apple support, with no luck. next, a few hours of online chatting with mobileme support and no luck. then, i was told to go to my local apple store where they played with it for an hour, and finally told me to go and do a system restore and wipe it to the original settings. did this, and still no luck. I have tried it through 3 different networks, one of them being an apple store.
Thus far, I have checked the mobile me settings (a few hundred times), mutiple reboots, hard resets, deleted and reinstalled the account and app, now even a system restore, but still the only thing that shows up is my iphone in find my ipad. the worker at the apple store had me log into one of the display ipads (same wifi model) and create a mobileme account on it, and that ipad showed up instantly. Did the same thing on mine, and copied the settings, but it still wont show my ipad.
Tonight i talked with a tech at the applestore again, we tried the same things over again, with no luck. tomorrow, im supposed to take it in to likely be replaced, has anyone run into this, or have any last ideas?

Was having same problem. Removed the account and created it again when it asked if I wanted to enable location service I replied NO. After the account was created then enabled the location service. Got a prompt that by enabling location service I will lose the sync answered ok and violla the ipad2 showed on find my iPhone
Give it a try and let me know how it goes.

Missing an ipad and find my ipad is turned off

Hello. I have a customer who misplaced one of his iPads in his huge house. I logged onto the router and found that it was still connected to the network. I could see the IP and MAC addresses, but can't pinpoint its location in the house. Unfortunately, Find My iPad is not turned on on that particular iPad, otherwise I would've paged it and followed the chirping. We've looked all over the house, but to no avail.
We've looked into MetaGeek's InSSIDer and Chanalyzer, but can't justify spending over $2k on resolving this issue. Is there a way to track hone in on the device's location either through Windows CMD network commands or Apple services? I've tried using tracert and ping commands here at the office, but the results just seem to sporadic and unreliable. The customer has several AirPort base stations throughout the house if that helps at all.
Thanks for your help.

I take it the sound has been muted? Otherwise you could FaceTime call it, text it, or email it and follow the noise.

HT1414 I tried to do an update in the settings mode and now my ipad is frozen with a black screen with itunes app in the middle and showing to plug in the charger. Nothing is happening and tried turning off device and still nothing.

Ipad locked up while trying to do an update. Don't know how to fix and can't use ipad at all. Black screen with itunes app in the middle of screen and it shows picture of charger that it wants me to plug in. Nothing works.

You are in recovery mode, you need to restore it through iTunes on your computer. Follow the article you linked from.

Difference between open loop and closed loop mode when finding the index on a stepper motor axis.

I have a test system which uses a PXI-7352 motion controller with a MID-7602 stepper motor drive to position a 200 step/revolution stepper motor with an attached 1000 line encoder. The MID-7602 is configured for 64 microsteps per step, giving 12,800 microsteps and 4000 encoder counts per revolution. The system is controlled using LabView 7.1 and NI-Motion 6.13. To home the motor, I've defined a sequence in MAX which first finds the reverse limit switch and then moves forward to the encoder index pulse.
When finding its reference in open loop mode, the system its reference at the same microstep each time. When findings its reference in closed loop mode, the system finds its reference somewhere within about a 20 microstep wide range.
I hope somebody out there with more experience with this controller can describe the difference between finding the encoder index in open loop mode and finding the encoder index in closed loop mode.
Thanks,
Mark Moss

Hello Mark,
I suspect that the behavior you are experiencing has today
with the resolution difference between your encoder and your
microstepping. Let me illustrate with an
example:
Example Setup
Stepper
Motor
NI
Motion Controller
10
steps per encoder pulse (Every 10 steps the controller gets an encoder
pulse, therefore positions 0-9 all appear to be 0 to the controller)
The
system has a maximum of 3 pull in moves set
Open Loop Scenario
The
system is commanded to go to position 9.
The
controller sends out 9 pulses.
The
motor moves to position 9.
Closed Loop Scenario
The
system is commanded to go to position 9.
The
controller sends out 9 pulses.
The
motor moves to position 9.
The
controller checks its position and sees that it is still at position 0
because it has not received an encoder pulse.
Because
the controller thinks it is still at position 0, it sends another 9 pulses
as its first pull in move.
The
motor moves to position 18.
The
controller checks its position and sees that it is at position 10 because
it has only received one encoder pulse.
Because
the controller thinks it is still at position 10, it sends1 reverse pulse
as its second pull in move.
The
motor moves to position 17.
The
controller checks its position and sees that it is at position 10 because
it has only received one encoder pulse.
Because
the controller thinks it is still at position 10, it sends and additional
single reverse pulse as its third pull in move.
The
motor moves to its final position of 16.
I believe something similar is happening with your
application as it looks for the index pulse.
Because the controller does not compensate for what it perceives as
position error in open loop mode, the motor always goes to the same commanded
position. In closed loop mode, the motor
is bouncing around inside the single index encoder pulse trying to find a
certain position.
There are several recommendations I can make towards
correcting this behavior. These
recommendations are in order of effectiveness:
Setup
your system so that there are more encoder counts per revolution than
steps per revolution.
Turn
off pull-in moves by setting them to 0 in MAX.
Use an
open loop configuration.
Play
around with the pull in window in MAX.

Luke H
