iPad Syncing

[atechguy]

Hi all,

 

Just wondering what everyone uses to Sync their Apple devices. I have a school who only have charging caddys (no sync feature) So im wondering if there i a device that would allow me to sync 10 devices at a time? Would a 10 port standard USB spliter work?

Since moving to a cloud MDM (InTune), we haven't had a requirement to sync iPads in that way. However when we did do that, we had a 10-port TeckNet USB 3.0 hub (the type that has it's own power supply). It worked fine until our Mac started playing up and we had issues connecting multiple iPads at the same time. This is what prompted our move to the cloud.

We set ours up using Meraki and are DEP enrolled so auto set up out of the box. No requirement for a Mac running Configurator or a sync trolley. Edited December 13, 2019 by EssentialRug

Lightspeed MDM and DEP, definitely cloud is the way to go with DEP. We just use our Mac mini as our caching server now.

Intune here, as part of our EES agreement

We use MDM but for non dep devices I’ll supervise them with a Mac first. For our schools that don’t have a sync enabled trolley, I use a powered 10 port USB hub.
