Apple Configurator 2

[Teji]

Hi

Can any help me on this matter. I recently updated the configurator on the apple mac to configurator 2. When l push the apps out on to any iPads l get this error message -

'The server gave an error during download: 403 Forbidden. [iSErrorDomain - 0x1F (31)]'

If any has download the configurator 2 and have encountered the same error message, l would appreciate any help on this.

Thanks.

I'm as big a apple fan boi as they come. The last 7 days I've been on the brink of burning everything apple and moving to samsung. Or a Nokia 3210. Configurator 2 is a pile of s***. Nice idea implemented so so badly.

 

I got the same error as you if trying to install too many apps. By too many I mean more than about 5 or 6. Try installing a few at a time to one iPad. Then try that same 5 or 6 to a few iPads.

I found I could do a few apps at a time to 10 iPads ok. I couldn't do 10 apps to 1 iPad.

 

I don't know whether the authenticated proxy they use in most of our schools hinders the process but in general it was a PITA

I'll give that a try as well.. i'm also getting the same error. Tying to sync 22 ipads. The interface looks much better, but if it doesn't work...grrrr

Thanks XiJ. That worked for me! I adjusted my Blueprint to only include 5 apps, then i could sync over the 22ipads. After the Blueprint was pushed to all of them, i could add apps to all the ipads manually. I'm not sure how many apps i can sync at once, but i tested with 3 more and they all went over.

 

At least I'm seeing progress now! Again...much thanks!

Cool, glad it worked. Took me from 10am until midnight to fight my way trough that sort of thing with config 2 last week!

 

Config 2 seems to have nice features and more user friendly. If only they actually worked.

I had issues with the Book Creator app. every time I had that in a blueprint it would fail. I too am only adding a few apps at a time. Seems to help!

I've found Configurator 2 far too problematic to use in a real world deployment at the moment.

 

It's a nice idea and it looks a lot better, but until it actually works properly and reliably, I'm not touching it, and staying with the old one.
