Syncing only ONE iPad at a time and auto-checkin frustration

Good morning, I am trying to update my class set of iPads using configurator but when I plug the iPads in, the sync and charge cart will only update ONE iPad at a time (even through I'm connecting 7 devices at a time). The other 6 iPads are showing as being connected but are left hanging with the message "trying to authorise apps". I can consistently update one iPad at a time but I can't do a batch (or all). Any tips?
Also, when I connect the iPads, it skips the prepare stage and goes straight to supervise. It automatically checks the iPads in and starts checking for iOS updates etc. This is when it will update the ONE iPad only. It goes ahead and deletes everything off the ipad and then reinstalls everything - which is fine except that I've added additional apps. I have to wait for it to finish going through this process (20 minutes later) and then I can go in and select the new apps and the backup configuration - but then I have to wait another 22 minutes.
Please help me ... someone! This is very frustrating. I'd appreciate any tips. Sincerely, Anne

@dananova,
It sounds like you need to either increase the number of dynamic IP addresses your router will hand out or change some of your devices to static IP addresses.
Check the router manual on how to change the dynamic IP range of your router. If you don't have a manual, you can go to Belkin's website and download it.
To change the IP address of your iPads to static addresses, go to Settings > Wi-Fi and tap the ">" next to the name of your wireless network. DHCP should be highlighted. Write down the all the settings on the screen. Next tap the Static button. Enter the exact same information that you copied from the DHCP screen with the exception of the last 3 digits of the IP address. Enter a new 3 digit number in this spot. Generally the original IP address will end with a low number such as 009, so pick a number that is not that low but less than 255. I would suggest a range of 240 to 250, unless the original IP range falls near this range. Also make sure you use a different 3 digits for each device you set to use a static IP address.

I have lost the remote that was paired. I bought another remote, but the procedure to pair the new one does not work. I suspect the the AT will work with only one remote at-a-time and i have to unpaid the first before pairing the second. How do I unpair?

I was premature in posting the question. I found the answer in andother posting, and it was successful.
Thanks, and sorry for the false alarm.

I just bought an audiobook, it says I cant sync it to my phone because it can only sync with one library at a time and it wants to erase my phone completely. How can I get an audiobook without erasing my entire library of 2500 songs and other books?

How can I sync a new audiobook without having to erase my entire library?

Put the audiobook in the library on your computer, then sync to the phone.

Can you tell me why we play only one song at a time and stop now???????

OK....I will try to stop seething and write clearly. DL'd ITunes V8.0 which ran great for about a week. Now when I try to play from Music library it will play the first song then stop. If I try to advance using the forward button it stops playing as well. This only happens in the Music Library. Playlists function as normal. Please tell me this isn't another Apple "Enhancement". Ugh.

Are the little checkboxes to the left of name ticked? If not iTunes will not advance to the next track as iTunes skips unchecked tracks.
To check all, press ctrl & click in one of the little boxes or use select all, then right click in the selection and choose check all.
Usually this affects both the music library and playlists so I am not sure about it.

I use i-tunes for backing tracks with an acoustic band...how can I get a playlist to play one song at a time and not go to the next one until I manually select it?

Uncheck all the songs in the playlist. iTunes will then play one song and stop.

Is there and app that does the following. Multiple apps are showing a clock in different rooms, all are synced together, one ipad is a master ipad and if you change the time on it all other ipads change the time

None of the spreadsheet apps that work with Excel files offer anything like full native support in iOS. Apple's own Numbers app pairs down features for the iOS version. The hardware is simply not up to what a true computer is capable of, so all apps like QuickOffice, DocumentsToGo, Numbers and so forth offer reduced features from their computer-version counterparts.
I think a custom app will be your only real choice, be it a fully standalone app, or something built in filemaker or some other db-based platform.

The computer that I had my iphone apps synced to has died and I don't know how to get access to my apps on the new computer. I'm using a Windows pc. I understand that I can only have my apps synced to one computer at a time, but the former pc is dead.

My HP Touchsmart died the other day. My husband works on computers as a hobby and was able to get me up and running on a Dell laptop in no time. I have an iPhone 4s and had all my apps on itunes on my HP. I understand that you can only have your iPhone apps synced to one computer at a time, but what do you do when the computer containing all your info is in unusable condition? I have tried deauthorizing all the computers associated with my account, that did not work. I had this problem once before and finally ( after much blood sweat and tears ) was able to deauthorize the old computer, but it was in working order. Two of the computers that are listed under the iTunes Wi-Fi Sync setting are no longer in use, the HP had my apps synced to it and the other had everything else except my photos, which are on a third computer that is still in use. Please forgive for information overload but am trying to give all the info that I think could be relevant. Your help would be appreciated so much!
Sincerely,
PiPI

Re: That garbage is unreadable.
If you really want help, stop messing with the fonts and post so that others can read and offer suggestions.
Or better yet... try a search, I'm certain you'll find a solution to whatever issue you're experiencing.
I have found that many times it is the things that make you most angry that push you to action. This was the case here. Thank you for causing me to get so angry that I found the answer myself.

HT1848 I am trying to transfer my purchases from my iPhone 5 to my new Mac computer. I get the message stating that it can only be synced with one computer at a time. I have tried the 2 other ways and I get no options to transfer my purchases. Help?

If you see Devices in the big list on the left-hand side of iTunes, it should show the name of your iPhone right below it. You can right-click (or hold ctrl and left click) on the name of the iPhone there, and choose "transfer purchases from iPhone".
If you're on iTunes 11, you won't see the big list of the left until you go to the View menu at the very top (where you see iTunes/File/Edit/View/etc) and choose Show Sidebar. Then do the same thing: right-click or ctrl and left-click on the iPhone's name below Devices and "transfer purchases from iPhone".
It'll ask you to authorize the computer for your Apple ID if you haven't yet; to do that, you just type your Apple ID and password in when it asks. If it says you are not authorized but doesn't automatically give you an option to do so, then you can go to the Store menu at the very top and choose "authorize this computer".

My laptop hard drive crashed - when I go to sync my iPhone it says that my phone is already synced with another computer and can only be synced with one computer at a time.

My Dell laptop hard drive crashed - when I go to sync my iPhone it says that my phone is already synced with another computer and can only be synced with one computer at a time. When I hit sync is says it will erase my phone and sync with the new computer which is blank. How do I get my phone to sync my contacts, pics, apps etc. over to my new hard drive without losing anything.

Yes, so what's confusing... Did you not restore the backup of your data, contacts, pics, apps, music, etc. to the new hard drive after you replaced it or reformatted it or whatever you did? If so, then you can just sync your data back.
If not, please try searching the forum. This has been addressed hundreds of times here.

2 iPads, but can only connect one iPad at a time to my home network. Is this a known issue with Mac/iPads in general?

At home I have a HP PC, netbook and Sony laptop with no connection issues. Last year I bought an iPad 1 for my wife. This year I bought an iPad 2 for myself. However, only one iPad can connect to the wifi home network at a time. If I am using the iPad2 then the iPad1 fails to connect to the internet. if the iPad1 is being used then the iPad2 cannot connect. I tried resetting iPad network settings for both, reset router, and updated both iPads to latest software/firmware yesterday. Right now the only iPad that shows any connection is the iPad1. The iPad2 does not see the home network or any other outside network. Any suggestions or ideas on how to resolve this? It is odd the network issues only affect the iPad's.

I downloaded a movie to the wrong library by accident. now i can't put the movie on my husband's ipod because it says it can only sync to one library at a time. how do i fix this? i don't want to get rid of the old videos, i just want to add new ones

i really don't know what i did wrong. i logged into itunes using my husband's id, then bought some movies. but for some reason, it downloaded them to my library, not his. now i can't put them on the ipod. is there any way to get them out of my library and into his library? i tried home sharing, but it still won't let me sync them to the ipod

Copy the movie from the current library to the correct library.
iDevices can only sync to one library at a time.

On the bottom bar of the window (on the left iPhoto 11, on the right in other versions) note the slider. Drag it left.

I lost my only navigation tool bar, so I can only open one window at a time, and can't use google. Help.

I'm not sure what I did, but I right clicked on my google tool bar (which I use since I can't find the Firefox navigation toolbar) and I somehow disabled it. Now I can only use one window at a time, and if I go to a website, I can't go to another without closing my current one so I can go to my homepage, which is google.

If the Menu Bar is hidden then press F10 or press and hold the Alt key down to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily.
Go to "View > Toolbars" or right-click the "Menu Bar" or press Alt+V T to select which toolbars to show or hide (click on an entry to toggle the state).

We have two iphones and only one ipad. We want to be able to use "find my iphone" for both phones, which have separate apple ids. How do we get our ipad to accept this?

We have two iphones and only one ipad - no mac. We want to be able to use "find my iphone" for both phones. How do we get the ipad to accept two iphone accounts? icloud is enabled on all three devices.

Also, be aware of the following:
The "Find my..." function is pretty much useless if the device is in the hands of a thief. All that is necessary is for the thief to connect to any computer with iTunes and "Restore as new."
The only real protection you have is with the personal information on the device rather than the physical device itself. Something as small as an iPod/iPhone should have a strong 8-digit (or longer) password AND be configured for automatic wipe in the event of ten consecutive incorrect password entries.
