  • Does Apple have any good way of managing iPhones for business?

    I finally broke down and allowed iPhones into our company when Apple introduced the ability to provision phones like phones (e.g. don't have to teather them to a computer to set up).  This and the "business" management tools opened the door, so we got about 30 of them.
    WHAT A HUGE MISTAKE!!!!
    Apple is now going backward.  When a phone comes into our shop, we have to load up iTunes and get the phone to sync before we can do simple things like wipe the phone or troubleshoot "why did my bluetooth quit working".  All of their "enterprise focus" seems to be around security and app control, with nothing I've seen for the day-to-day keeping things running.  (Not saying app control and secuirty are unimportant, just not enough).
    Does Apple have any good business management tools that I'm missing?  I know about MDM, but too much setup for a relatively small number of phones.  Besides, my understanding is the MDM only does app management / security policy.  Right now we use Apple's stand-alone configurator.  Fine for pushing policy and apps, but useless for troubleshooting and day-to-day management (like resetting a phone back to factory configs).
    Also, is my carrior correct that Apple will not allow them to replace phones that have gone bad under warranty?  They told me for the iPhones we have to physically take them to an Apple store for troubleshooting / replacement even after 100% identifying the issue!  That is an hour (at least) wasted to send one of my folks to the store.  I know we don't just have a bad carrior, becaue they happily send out replacement on other brands after troubleshooting over the phone.
    I actually do like the overall look/feel of the iPhones.  But unless Apple becomes much more corporate-friendly, I can only recommend that companies refuse to purchase any iDevice.  BYOD, sure...but when you buy tens or hundreds of phones stick to Android, Blackberry, or even (sorry) Microsoft based devices.

    Does not seem to work that way for us.  We plug the phone in, and the first thing iTunes does is say the phone needs to be "authorized for this computer".  It also states that the phone can only be authorized for x computers.
    It then goes through it's jig while we wait, and finally comes up with the phone.  Only then can we try to wipe / update the phone.  We do stop the sync process, that automatically starts wanting to run.  Maybe has to do with a version difference between what you use and what we use.  I did notice that an older version of iTunes seemed a bit friendlier, but would not support our iPads.
    However, when we were troubleshooting the bug where wireless / bluetooth quits working it was quite a bit more difficult than this for a phone a user handed us.  Troubleshooting steps required that the phone be "restored" in iTunes.  However, iTunes insisted on our providing a password that neither we nor the user knew.  Maybe just learning curve, but it took about an hour before we were able to get that phone to a point where we could reset it.
    Here is a sincere question for you, since you say you support a fleet of phones.  Do you really NOT get annoyed when your tech has to take a iPhone to a computer with iTunes, plug it in, and work from there whenever there is a user issue that needs to have the phone wiped back to factory standard?  This compared to being able to punch a few buttons on a different phone, right there in the users office, then hand it back to the user and say "your are fixed".
    My only assumptions are that IT staff want to solve issues as quickly and efficiently as possible.  Requireing a tech to deal with iTunes for simple procedures is not, IMHO, "as quick and efficient as possible".

  • Why does Apple keep breaking the podcast app?

    Why does Apple keep breaking the podcast app?

    Here are my issues, maybe you can help... And yes "breaking" and "nightmare" are accurate descriptions of this update...
    1. Syncing is now impossible without WiFi or a Cellular connection. I've tried your guide in the other thread, but it didn't help.
    When I sync podcasts with iTunes, they DO NOT SHOW UP in the app unless I connect my iPhone 5S to WiFi or Cellular. As soon as I connect it to something, new episodes that I manually synced finally show up and can be played.
    2. Arranging the podcasts in any order is now pointless. Any sort of wireless connection will reset my order to a randomized one. It's not even "podcasts with the newest episodes on top", it's just random.
    3. Apple doesn't seem to allow any other podcast app to use the manual sync in iTunes. Am I wrong about that? I looked at countless paid apps and they all have their own cloud or system to only deliver episodes wirelessly...
    4. And that constant prompt about Cellular data access could drive anyone insane!
    I have never been this frustrated with an Apple product in my life...

  • I cannot install apps that are upgraded to ios4.. im using iphone 2g 3.1.3 this makes me sad.. why does apple need to updates many apps when we cannot update an iphone 2g anymore..

    i cannot install apps that are upgraded to ios4. im using iphone 2g 3.1.3 this makes me sad.. why does apple need to updates many apps when we cannot update an iphone 2g anymore..

    I am having the exact same problem with trying to sync my iPad with my computer. To make a long story short, I had to reinstall Windows for my computer and therefore had to reinstall itunes.
    I have done back ups in the past for my ipod touch and other ipods with no problems, but unfortunately I have never been able to back up my iPad. During a sync, the iPad would always disconnect from my computer and it would never finish. it would say the connection was lost, but nothing is wrong with the connection.
    So now I have over 100 apps and thousands of pictures that I am afraid will be deleted if I run the sync in itunes. I have tried to transfer purchases and it goes through the list of apps, but nothing is ever transferred.
    Any help would be appreciated. I am not interested in jailbreaking my iPad to solve this problem. There should be a fix for this and I want to upgrade to ios 4.3 as the original poster. Please help

  • HT1338 Why can't I update my iPad iso 4.2 version? I go to setting and it does not have it like it should. Why does apple have to make things so freaking hard! Help!

    Why can't I update my iPad iso 4.2 version? I go to setting and it does not have it like it should. Why does apple have to make things so freaking hard! Help!

    If you have an original iPad 1, the latest version of iOS it can run is iOS 5. So you should be able to update no problem.
    Update iTunes to the latest version (11.0.2). Then simply plug your iPad into the computer and open iTunes. Click the iPad either in the sidebar or the top navigation bar. Then attempt to update the software. If it doesn't work, please post the exact error message.
    Note that it would be wise to first ensure you back up the iPad.

  • Does Apple know about bug in Timer that shows minutes but counts down seconds?

    I have a couple of times changed my timer from a few minutes down past zero to 59 or so to time out about an hour.  But the timer, while still showing minutes count down seconds.  This image is a captured screen shot as it is counting down seconds.  But when I cancel the timer, I get which shows the 59 minutes I expected to get.  If I press Start at this point, it will count down seconds.  If I attempt to reproduce conditions, by going to 8 or 9 minutes, then canceling and going to 59 minutes, it works.  It may be that you have to run the timer down to alarm and then try the lower setting.

    Does Apple know about bug in Timer that shows minutes but counts down seconds?
    How would we know?  Call them and ask.

  • Why does apple have this stupid thing where you cant change your apple id to another persons and then change it back? Its really annoying and why 90 days!!!!!!!!!!

    Please help

    There is a very good reason why Apple does this.
    Basically it is to prevent people from sharing purchased content with their friends. If you buy an app that costs lets say $19.99 and you let a friend sign into your ID on his device in order to download that purchase for free - that is what most people would call stealing. And your not just stealing from Apple - you are really stealing the bulk of the money from the app developer.
    There is nothing that you can do now. You have to wait the 90 days. And it is highly unlikely that any feedback to Apple is going to matter. I don't see them changing this anytime soon.

  • Does Apple have a software life cycle plan showing support?

    Hi!
    Something like http://support.microsoft.com/gp/lifeselect and http://support.microsoft.com/gp/lifecycle ... I cannot seem to find it. I was told that Mac OS X 10.5.8 is no longer going to be updated?
    Thank you in advance.

    The thing that bugs me is not speed, but support. MS still supports XP (SP3) today and a couple more years. Apple seems to dump their softwares fast. :/
    Actually, let's look at that, shall we?
    XP went out of 'mainstream support' in April 2009. It's currently in 'extended' support for commercial (read: paying) customers. Are you paying Microsoft to support your XP system? Are you paying Apple to support your 10.4 system?
    Furthermore, XP was available at retail until June 2008 - just 10 months before mainstream support expired. That's not so great. Even worse is the fact that XP was available to OEMs until October 2010, some 18 months after mainstream support expired. That's a winning combination if ever I heard one.
    Yes, XP came out in 2001, so you could argue that it had 7 years of support, but it's not Apple's fault that there was a 6 year gap between XP and Vista, nor that Vista had such a poor uptake.
    In fact, if you look at the official policy, Microsoft provide mainstream support for '2 years after the sucessor product is released'. Given that Apple, historically, have released OS updates every 18 months or so (give or take), and that they support the current and previous OS releases, you can see Apple have an 18 month policy while Microsoft has a 2 year policy. Not all that great a difference in the overall scheme of things.

  • Why does Apple have to make updates every month, outdating any games or any software that you had?

    I am frustrated because I just bought a new game and it would be really fun if Apple didn't make Lion, outdating the game, just so I could use "the App Store." They advertise it as being everything, but my computer is old so I CAN'T use the magnificent trackpad stuff and all that. All I get is the App store, some new desktop pics, and no compatibility with anything, which, I feel, doesn't make sense? Can anyone answer why they have to do this to a loyal customer?

    One of the solutions to the problem of having either (1) an older OS which will run some of my favorite apps, and (2) having an up-to-date OS which can't run some of my favorite apps but which does allow me access to various new-fangled things like iCloud, is to...
    ...have both.
    Partition your hard drive, or use a bootable external hard drive (or both). Have different OS versions on different volumes, and boot into them as needed.
    Example -
    Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) will run PPC apps, such as AppleWorks and Diablo II. When I want to use those, I boot using the partition on which I have 10.6.8.
    When I want to use iCloud features, etc., I boot using a partition on which I have Lion.

  • Why does apple have no store in Ireland compbq are a joke

    I have bought iMac for 1900 euro six later the computer computer burned out now it on compbq they havnt a clue what they are doing so never buy iMac

    I have no idea what "compbq" is supposed to be, but here is a link to the Apple store Ireland:
    http://store.apple.com/ie
    And on this one, there is a clickable link for authorized service providers:
    http://www.apple.com/ie/buy/
    FWIW - your Mac is 6 years old? How long do you expect it to last? Any hard drive and logic board can die after 6 months.

  • Why does Apple have HDCP?  Videos I purchased years ago no longer play!

    If there's actually a solution besides a new monitor, please post.

    There are solutions to HDCP.   However, the answers are usually deleted.
    Please search your issue elsewhere on the Internet.  HDCP was demanded by the Hollywood cartel (not Apple), primarily to harass their customers.
    In future, I strongly recommend that you purchase movies on DVD or Blu-ray.  That way, you can watch them anywhere hassle free.
    Good luck !

  • Why does Apple have so many other languages into their devices but Swahili language from East Africa isn't added? Could somebody help me answer this question please? Thanks!

    Hopefully someone inside Apple will see this and help us People that are using Apple devices but we do not have the option to change to our own language. Please Apple People look into this and consider it as a lot of people speaking Swahili are using apple products. Thank you in advance for your consideration.
    Message was edited by: anne.mafie

    If Swahili is not on the list and you would like to recommend it to Apple, please tell them at http://apple.com/feedback
    This is the User support forums operated by users just like yourself.  Apple rarely appears here.

  • Does apple have something like adobe reader that will work on PDF files?

    Does anyone know if apple has something like adobe reader to view Adobe files ?

    There is also an Adobe Reader App for the iPad in the App Store.

  • Why does Apple support print those "Hello" booklets that came with my new iMac in super small fonts?

    Yesterday I purchased the latest available 27inch iMac from my local Apple only dealer.     ( It sure beats my very first Mac which was an LC520. )
    The included in the box printed quick start guide named "Hello" was printed using a font size very close to zero.
    Who are these people at Apple support that can read such small fonts with using 20X powered magnifying lenses
    Are they somewhat...
    What a waste of mony Apple!

    I think it's a point worth making.  It is virtually unreadable.  
    On reflection, I'm wondering if there is an obligation in some countries to provide such information with a device.   This could be Apple's way of complying while spending the absolute minimum.

  • Calendar app never shows red badges

    I like the default calendar app but would like it to show red badges when there are events that I haven't looked at to check. I have seen others get these so why dont I?
    Are there any other calendar apps that show the red badge?
    Mike

    Howdy Mike,
    It sounds like you want a red notification badge to appear on the Calendar app which is in the dock on your Mac. You can enable this feature from System Preferences, as described in the article linked below.
    OS X Mavericks: Change Notification Center preferences
    Badge app icon
    Let the app show the number of notifications on its Dock icon.
    Cheers,
