We recently purchased 26 iPads for an elementary lab. THe Apple Configuration tool does not do enough to help us lock students out of the settings folder to keep them from making changes. Is help on the way, or is there a third party solution available?

If we do not find a viable solution quickly, our district is going to stop purchasing iPads. HELP!

Unfortunately there isn't a way to completely lock out Settings. Apple designed iPads to be personal devices where user is "King"…which makes it a pain for school tech admins like you and I to manage. Apple only allows certain features and restrictions for 3rd party vendors to work with. So unfortunately there isn't a way to completely lock out Settings by a 3rd party vendor.
What settings are the kids changing? Perhaps there's a workaround that could help (until Apple makes things more school/enterprise friendly).

HT1430 For some unknown reason my Apple ID password does not work when trying to down load books from the IBook or Nook Apps. It also has stop work when trying to down load new Apps. Any suggestions out their???

For some unknown reason, my Apple ID Password does not work when trying to down load IBooks, Nook books, or new Apps. Everything else seems to work. Any suggestions out their???

I appreciate the info and realize that the Nook App is not related to my Apple account but this too has stopped working. My situation first started with the Nook App not down loading and then has now spread to my IBook and new app downloads. I have checked into my ITunes account and the ID and password are correct and at times when I am asked to submit my Apple password such as setting up this Apple Support Community the ID and password work. My problem seems to be just with trying to use my ID and password when wanting to download new books or apps. I can go into the IBook, Nook, and App stores and seemingly download an item but when clicking on the new book or app nothing happens and I get a message that states it can not get into the ITunes store and it wants me to either try again or cancel. This message appears usually ten minutes after I have tried to make a purchase. At other times when I attempt to download a book or app I lose the screen and the IPad goes into the opening screen. Short of redoing my Apple account or deleting an app and attempting to reload the app (but this won't work because the App store won't load new apps) I don't have a clue what to do.

Why is the Apple App Store is asking for a password to an apple ID that does not exist

Hi,
Base on my understanding, as it is the Mutli-Tenant environment, in internal DNS server, there is no need to add the DNS A record
lyncdiscoverinternal. However, you can try to add the DNS record in internal DNS server to test the issue as well.
Also, please make sure you have updated both Lync Server 2013 and Exchange 2013 to the latest version. If not, update it and then test again.
Best Regards,

I have an iphone 4s and recently purchased a 5 for my wife. When I plug her phone into our computer I'm asked if I want to set up as a new phone or back up. I'm not sure what to do her phone is already set up with an icloud account. Can I sync her phone with the player that I have installed and transfer content to her phone or will my phone be removed from the player?

Set up as new, since it newer has been connected to iTunes. Your iPhone will remain on iTunes. I have 4 different devices on my iTunes with no problems.
And regarding the sync - it will sync whatever you tell it to sync on iTunes.

I recently purchased icloud storage for my iPad Air. I want to store photos in the cloud and learn how to retrieve them. I need help.

I recently purchased iCloud storage for my iPad Air so that I can store my photos in the cloud. I don't know how to do this. I want to be able to retrieve them as well.

Hello Janet
With that iCloud storage that you purchased, is used for mainly for iCloud Backup for your iPad Air, app data as in games and documents for like iWork and other apps that save data locally within the app. Dealing with photos in your Photo Stream they actually do not count towards that storage plan. If you don’t think that the storage is going to work for you, then cancel the upgrade you just made.

I have recently purchased an IPad Air. This comes with "IPhoto" as well as it's usual photo App. I do not have a Mac, instead I am syncing it to my windows PC. Is there any way of actually moving a picture around, (arranging photos in a single album), in either of these apps???? They claim to be able to "Organize" or "arrange" Photos, but for the life of me I can't figure out how......could you recommend any apps that actually allow someone to move individual photos around on an IOS Device.

No, reordering within folders and albums is not supported. the yare arranged automatically by date. I found this, but I have not used any of the apps besides iPhone. You might check the descriptions to see if they do what you need.

I recently purchased and iPhone for both my husband and myself. I connected his iPhone to iTunes and registered it and had no problem syncing. When I went to connect my phone to iTunes I registered it and it synced all of the info from my husbands phone onto my phone. In the process it deleted all my info I had on my phone (contacts, messages, email accounts, etc.). I redid all of my info onto my phone but now am nervous about connecting to iTunes for fear it will happen again. How do I connect to iTunes without having all my info deleted again?

I have been attempting to wipe/erase the iphone 4S I recently purchased...for the past 20 hours....I went to Reset in Settings and clicked on "Erase All Content and Settings"....At that point the phone the screen went dark except for a white circular symbol revolving - indicating something should be happening....
The instructions indicated that, depending on what needed to be erased, the process could take several hours. Even though the device had a Tom Tom application with all the maps of Europe etc (about 2GB) and there were several other apps on the device, it does not seem to me normal that the device would be still clearing into the next day - today!
Can you please help!?

Something has gone wrong. Turn your phone off, then force it into recovery mode & restore it:
Press the Sleep/Wake button & Home button at the same time, keep pressing until your phone turns off, then release.
Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.
Make sure you have no anti-virus software running or any firewalls...turn all of that stuff off.

Hi, I recently purchased an IPad Air. I have a Dell PC that has the Verizon. Security Suite. Do I need to have virus/malware protection for the IPad Air? Thanks.

Hi, I recently purchased an IPad air. Do I need to place virus protection software for it? I also have a Dell PC that has the Verizon Security Suite. Thanks for your info. Jim

You do not need anti virus for the iPad. The ipad only installs things from the App Store and those apps are vetted. In addition, the operating system of the ipad isn't the same as PC's or Macs so common viruses don't run on them.
The only thing you need to be aware of is protecting your info....Go to a bad site and enter your info and you're just as vulnerable as you would be on a computer. So the device isn't vulnerable to anything but user actions.

I recently purchased an iphone 5c. It requested an Apple ID and Password. I tried to use e-mail that I use for everything else, wouldn't let me, so I used another one. It then said that it sent an e-mail so that I could verify the account. Can't find.

I recently purchased an iphone 5c. Had to enter Apple ID & Password. Wouldn't let me use same email I use for everything, so used a gmail account. Then said they send message so that I could verify ID. Problem is I don't know where it is so that I can verify. All emails are going to other address?

If the system didn't ship with Mountain Lion originally and you didn't purchase Mountain Lion yourself, then you will need to purchase. A purchase by the system's original owner cannot be transferred to you.
Unless you have another system on which you have purchased Mountain Lion, you will need to first install Mac OS X 10.6.8 on the iMac, for which you'll need either the original installation disks, if the iMac came with 10.6, or a retail copy of 10.6. Install 10.6 and upgrade to at least 10.6.6, and then you can buy Mountain Lion from the Mac App Store, presuming of course that the imac can support Mountain Lion. See:

I recently purchased a new laptop and have some music on it that I would like to add to my iphone. And vice versa so I can sync them. What is the best way?

iDevices are not backup devices.
Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer or the backup of the old computer to the new computer, then sync the device to the computer.
Attempts to sync the device to the new computer will remove all content from the device and replace it with content from the new computer/library.

I recently purchased Elements 13 for Mac-OS and cannot download N-OS and cannot download NEF-RAW files taken on my Nikon D5500. The model is not listed among those supported by Elements, but the D5300 is, which is nearly identical. Is there any quick fix?

What is N-OS?
For the camera raw problem, every new camera has its own raw format and ACR must be updated to include it. That hasn't happened yet for the D5500, so you'll just have to use the Nikon software till Adobe gets the info and releases an updated version of ACR. It's not unusual to be in your situation if you buy a camera model that's only been out a month. You just have to wait a bit.
