Transferring an Apple Configurator Profile

Hello, I am wondering if it is possible to transfer a Apple Configurator Profile from one iPad to another. For example, I have a wifi configuration file on one ipad, and need to get it to the other. Is there any way to transfer it without connecting it to the original apple configurator computer where the profile was made/put on the original device? Is it possible to use iTunes, iFunBox or my computers file explorer?
I am sorry if this is the wrong category. Moderator please put it in the right one if it is not. This is the most relevant category I could find.
Thank You
~Zach

Bump, I really need an answer.

How can I copy Apple Configurator profiles?

I'm trying to maintain two different profiles with 60+ wireless access point "payloads" and I can't seem to load both of them at the same time because:
"This Configuration Profile already exists. Do you want to replace it? Another version of this Configuration Profile ('<profilename>') already exists in the Library. Replacing it will overwrite its current contents."
I've tried editing a copy with a different name and identifier, but that doesn't seem to work and I'm not going to re-enter 64 wi-fi ap passwords.

Here are some replies I made to other users in the past that might help you. I hope these links lead to the correct posts.

I could probably help you, too, but not in the near future. We're in the process of preparing to move & my older Apple products are packed away.

How to remove Apple Configurator Profile - iPad

On my iPad a supervision profile has been installed using Apple Configurator. Is there a way to remove this profile without restoring.
When I tried syncing my iPad to my computer a message came up, notifying my that my 'iPad is supervised with another computer and cannot be used with this computer.'
I belive this has occurred because of this supervison profile and I can't seem to remove this profile.
I don't have access to both the Apple Configurator application that was used to create it and the computer that it is supervised with.
I have tried recovery mode and a few other basic ways that could remove this.
I need a way to remove this profile without removing all my data or accessing the Apple Configurator itself.
Max.

Unfortunately, if you don't have access to the computer that the iPad was supervised with you won't be able to unsupervise it without resetting the device (and thus losing all of the apps and data).
The idea behind Supervising is that control lies with the person managing the devices (teacher, I.T. staff, etc), not the end user. In Supervision mode, the person managing the devices is "king" and has control of installing apps, configuration profiles, etc. When an iPad is initially Supervised, it is wiped clean of previous data, apps, and settings. This prevents a personal device from being supervised by another person without their knowledge. Once Supervised, it is no longer a "personal" device…it is managed. The same sort of thing happens when you unsupervise a supervised device…it deletes everything so that the manager is no longer "king" and the user regains all control by starting with a clean iPad without data, apps, or controlled settings.
You may want to try and manually back up as much as you can to services like Dropbox before resetting the device.
I know this is not the answer you want to hear, but I hope it helps understand why it is what it is. Good luck.

Apple Configurator: Profile Enrollment Trouble

I am having trouble installing the Standard Enrollment Profile on a set of iPad's. I get this error when I try to install Standard Enrollment Profile on them through Apple Configurator. I was wondering if any of you knew a fix or workaround to this problem? Thanks!

Based on limited experience with multiple profiles, it appears that the most restrictive profile takes precedence. For example, if one restricts the deleting and installing of apps and the other one allows for the deleting of apps and allows for installing apps a device with both profiles will not allow apps to be installed or deleted.

HT201460 We currently have Ipads set up with an Apple Configurator profile and the removal password has been lost. What options do we have to remove or alter the profile?

We have tried to alter the profile to push out a different password and to push out no password, but the the new settings do not copy over to the Ipad when connected via usb cable.
Any ideas?

You can try to reset and configure the iPad as a new device.
Have a look at recovery mode and DFU mode.

How can you set the priority of profiles to install? Also, if one profile has a setting that overides another, which takes precidence?

ICloud overwrites Apple configurator profiles

Hi !
I have setup a bunch of iPhone with Supervision when the option "Allow to connect other computer" did not exist.
The users took photos and created contacts with the supervised iPhones. Now, I want to be able to recover the pictures every now and then so I did a backup of all the iPhones, un-supervised them and redid the preparation steps and checked the option to allow connection to another computer.
My problem is that if I recover the iCloud backup of the iPhone, to get back the pictures, apps, contacts and everything, the Profile seems to be recovered at the same time and the option to connect to another computer is overwriten.
Is there a way to give the option to connect to another computer AND keep the contacts at the same time ? I can't seem to find a solution to this problem.
Thank you

Sync the contacts to a cloud service. iCloud, Yahoo, Google, or your own Exchange server. You can extract the photos from the phone just like you would from any other digital camera. The Camera Roll on the phone is not intended to be permanent storage, just as you wouldn't leave every photo you've ever taken on the flash card in your camera.

Apple configurator vs MDM profile

Hi All
I am new this community . I have a doubt about Apple Configurator profile vs MDM profile .
Through the Apple Configurator forbidden the camera and using the MDM would like to re-enable it. Is it possible? Will it work this way? Is the MDM able to override the PASSWORD PROTECTED configuration profile from the Apple Configurator?

both are not my expertise and I am unable to tell whether you want to deal directly with your mobile device or the remote management thereof

IPad/Apple Configurator/changing profiles on existing backups

Is there a way to back up an iPad that has an exisiting Apple Configurator profile applied, and then apply a different profile and restore the data without applying the original profile? Everything I have tried seems to apply the original profile when restoring the backup. If this is not possible, how can I apply a new profile to an iPad without the user losing all of his data??

Thanks Chris. I have an Apple Configurator profile applied to a users iPad that blocks the App Store. I need to place a new profile on the iPad that allows access to the App Store. However, when I check in the device it creates a backup and the original profile is saved in the backup. When I try to apply the new profile it is deployed to the device successfully but when I restore the backup for the user the original profile overrights the new profile. Both profiles are present after the backup is restored. I need to be able to place a new profile on a device AND restore data from a backup without that backup applying the original profile.

Apple Configurator .ipa files

Does backing up an iPad to iTunes, store copies of all apps(with the extension .ipa) to the local machine (Mac mini Server late 2012)?
If this does not occur, how do I get my iPad apps with the extension .ipa to my Mac mini Server for distribution with Apple configurator/Profile Manager?

You"ll have to use iTunes on the server
Download the apps you need
Profile manager will pick up the apps from iTunes
Same with Apple Configurator, download the apps with iTunes on the machine that's running AC
AC will pickup the apps from iTunes

Provisioning Profiles and Apple Configurator

I try to install a provisioning profile (a .mobileprovision file) using Apple Configurator and I find no way of importing it into Configurator.
Apples PDF "Deploying iPhone and iPad - Apple Configurator" says I can use provisionong profiles with Configurator.
What am I doing wrong?

With this I can import configuration profiles (*.mobileconfig), but not the provisioning profile (*.mobileprovision).
The profile I am using is probably fine, as it is working in iTunes. It is used to enable enterprise Apps.

I have an Apple Configurator install that wont recognize an iPad when I attach it via USB. I cant prepare it or refresh it. It was supervised. I get an error message that says "policy does not have correct profile data". Please help!!!

I have an Apple Configurator install that wont recognize an iPad when I attach it via USB. I cant prepare it or refresh it. It was supervised. I get an error message that says "policy does not have correct profile data". At some point there was a mismatch between the profile on the iPad and the MAC server. The profile on the MAC server has been deleted and the iPad has been erased and reset to default. I need to be able to get Configurator to recognize this device to prepare it for deployment and issue Apps to it. Please help!!

Run the application 'Terminal.app' which you will find in '/Applications/Utilities' on your Macintosh.
Type this into it: defaults delete com.apple.configurator PreprationSavedPolicyDefaultsKey
Hit the return key.
If you get no error message, it worked, and you can quit the app.

HT202577 Is the apple configurator available for Windows in order to push profiles to apple TVs?

We currently have a windows environment at work and use 802.1x authentication and have some 1st generation apple TVs. We would like to get them on our wireless but are having issues. I would like to push profiles to these apple TVs to see if I can get them on but I am not going to buy a Mac to do it.
Is the apple configurator available for Windows or even ubuntu?

Hello,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Apple Configurator requires both Mac OS X, and the most up to date version of iTunes, and can only be installed from the Mac App Store.

HT201334 Apple configurator vs Profile Manager

I downloaded apple configurator and have it working. Then I realized profile manager in OSX Server does the same thing. What is the difference, can I leave it as is? Any benefit of just using profile manager?

Apple configurator has its uses.
Apple configurator can be used as a "manual" standalone solution to manage you iDevices and AppleTVs.
Apple configurator can be used in blended approach with Profile Manager.
With Profile Manager you can manage iDevices , Macs , and I believe AppleTv over the AIR.
- Apple Configure Stand Alone.
When using Apple Configurator by itself you can , lock down an iPad in a way you see fit.
1. You can make an iDevice in "Supervise Mode" increasing restricting of your iDevice , Profile Manager cannot do this at the moment , this feature will be available in Mavericks.
2. Any future configuration changes to your iDevices , must be physically plugged in everytime for those changes.
3. You can distribute free and paid apps.
4. You can update your IOS updates all at once. When IOS 7 comes out this fall you probably dont want to touch every iDevice and update 1 at a time. You can use Apple Configurator to download the latest IOS , and any IDevice that you plugin will receive the update, this means downloading th IOS update one time on the mac, and pushing it out to whoever needs it. Profile Manager can't do this.
5. You can name several iDevices sequently. If you have a cart of 30 it will be easy to rename your iDevices. Profile Manager can't do this.
6. Apple configurator allows you to "backup and restore" its not a true complete image but its close. Profile Manager does not do backups or restores.
7. Apple Configurator can be used to erase an iDevice.
8. I'm probably missing some more features.
- Profile Manager Stand Alone
1. You can manage Macs not just iDevices.
2. You must enroll the device before you can manage it, this can be done by pushing out an email , via a website etc.
3. Everything happens over the Air.
4. When enrolling , users can use their Open Directory or Active Directory ( if your Apple server is bound to AD server ). You can also create a generic account for enrolling purposes.
5. You can wipe devices over the air.
6. You can make pass code resets for iDevices.
7. You can manage users in groups , even nested groups. I manage staff and student iDevices. Our wireless system is seperated for staff and students each wireless has its own SSID. I created 2 upper level Profile Manager Groups , one called WiFi Student and one called WiFi Staff, all my student iDevice groups are nested under WiFi Student group and all my staff idevice groups are nested. This makes managing my wifi a breeze. I also include my mifi wireless info , in case i need a backup emergency wireless.
8. Im sure theres other features.
- Apple Configurator And Profile Manager Blended
1. Push out initial wifi settings. I setup a simple wireless router to connect my devices ( there are types when I setup over 50 ipads , and our network runs out of IPs)
2. You can use Apple Configurator to push out Profile Managers "enrollment profile" to many iDevices. You dont want to enroll a full iDevice cart one at a time via a web browser.
Maverick and IOS 7
In the fall everything will change , it is amazing what we will be able to do. Over the Air Supervise Mode , Install Apps over the air with no user interaction, App codes become licenses , which are revokeable and reusable. Out of the box enrollment ... There may be no need for Apple Configurator come this fall. So many things are changing I recommend watching the new WWDC2013 Videos, specially the one on device management.
Back to original topic.
I value both products , they have their specilties and when you blended , you can get things done efficiently.

Configuration Profile for Apple Devices with ISE

Hi,
is there any possibility to put configuration profiles on apple device with the ise? I need to disable the dataroaming function in forgein countries for ipads.
Best regards
Felix

Nice. Only trouble there seems to be multiple entry for same mac address there for same resource id.
So when I try to get them as substring i get multiple copies of same mac address.
But looks like this will work as solution to this problem.
So far I was doing it this way (And i am sure there is clearer way to do it.)
SUBSTRING((SELECT ',' + CAST(t2.MACAddress0 AS VARCHAR(40))
            FROM (SELECT DISTINCT ResourceID, MACAddress0 FROM v_GS_NETWORK_ADAPTER) t2
            WHERE t2.ResourceID = ResourceID
            ORDER BY t2.ResourceID, t2.MACAddress0
            FOR XML PATH ('')
        ), 2, 100) [MACAddresses]
