With Foldr for iOS, you can take photos within the app that are uploaded straight to the network, without leaving a copy in the device's camera roll.

Thank you -
From memory in 10.5/10.6 server it was within File Sharing and Automounts

By the way new Mac minis would not come with iLife '09, if they have then someone has altered with them prior to you receiving them. iLife '11 has been out for quite a while now
-
In fact the iLife apps are available to purchase at education pricing (for purchases over 20 licences each). Available from the Apple Store Online (the education store) or from Apple Solutions Experts - Apple (United Kingdom) - Where to Buy - Apple Solution Experts - Education

Sharing an iTunes library for anything other than playback wont work reliably. Playback works very well see iTunes: Finding and listening to shared libraries If you are looking to provide shared multimedia resources then PodCast Publisher in Lion server is very good. Tune ranger will allow you to keep several iTunes library in sync but this could produce large amounts of network traffic but may provide the desired functionality to a small number of machines - TuneRanger iTunes to iTunes Sync over a Network - Acertant

Authenticated proxies and the iPad raise several challenges, the biggest being that many apps don't observe the iPad's system settings for proxies and try to connect straight out to the Internet. PAC files are supported within iOS and may help in your scenario. We are hoping for proxy support for MDM services (such as Lion server) to come in iOS 5 (fingers crossed!) As always, Apple Solution Experts for Education can normally offer professional support and advice on this. See here for more

I know that this is a service that some Apple Solutions Experts (ASE) in Education can assist with. If you are looking for assistance with this you could try contact them. A full list of such companies can be found here - Apple (United Kingdom) - Where to Buy - Apple Solution Experts - Education You can search for your nearest ASE using the search box at this link

Clients are now showing me a Mac OSX Server login screen

My guess would be that a netrestore set was created using System Image Utility on the server using the server's HD as the source and not a client Mac's HD -

have you got a screen shot? -
Quick answer Clear out any old iPad backups from iTunes from within iTunes preference. Setup your master iPad and then make a backup of it in iTunes. Turn off auto sync of devices in iTunes's preferences. Plug in in subsequent iPads and restore from backup made above

Try unplugging the iMac's power cable from the iMac and pressing the power button in for about 10 seconds. Then plug in the power and try pressing the power button to boot the Mac. This is an SMC (system management controller) reset and often fixes this issue.
-
Install WorkGroup Manager on any Mac with Logic installed (it can be handy to put this and other admin tools in the dock of any local admin accounts on the Macs for future administration/troubleshooting) and add this to the Open Directory preferences from there. Apply this to a user/computer group as required.
-
You can purchase some legacy software and OS titles from Apple direct. Call them on 08000480408 and they will be able to source this for you.
-
Just be careful as I recall the the iMacs had 2 different RAM slots, one you could get to easily(that took laptop size memory) and another that required taking the main board out (took the larger style memory chips)...
-
We imagine that the white MacBook will be retained as an education only offering just as with the 20" iMac has been for the last few years.
-
The white MacBook will continue to be available from all Apple Solution Experts for Education (such as us).

Hi, As Tallwood_6 mentions, the iPad can only interface with an IWB to output its display and as such there would be no reason to connect the iPad via USB to the IWB as I am unaware that the pens used with an IWB can control an iPad. Even if it could, the difference in finesse between an IWB and the multi touch on an iPad would quickly show. The traditional configuration of an IWB and a connected PC is a relatively expensive and '1 trick pony' solution. An iPad connected to a projector running any one of the drawing (Penultimate, SketchBook Pro etc), presentation (Keynote etc) and classroom voting and interaction apps (iResponse etc) offers a much more flexible setup. Not to mention much the huge number of free apps available. With the use of AirDisplay and a Mac the iPad can be used as a wireless touchscreen display for the Mac (running which ever software under which ever OS you would like) that can be passed around the class for a personalised experience for students. This has huge benefits for those students with impairments that affect their involvement with an IWB led lesson. I can strongly recommend the excellent article written by Fraser Speirs - Fraser Speirs - Blog - iPad as Digital*Whiteboard We (as Apple Education specialists) spend a lot of time with schools helping them understand the benefits of the iPad and how it differs from laptops/netbooks. Sure, there are things that an iPad can’t do compared to these traditional devices, however the compelling discussion is around the genuinely unique benefits the iPad (and I'm sure tablets from other manufacturers once they come to maturity) offers students and teachers. Feel free to contact me if you would like any advice or would like to be put in touch with other schools who have adopted the iPad from day one and have a great deal of valuable experience they are happy to share. It certainly is an exciting time for IT in education and I believe the iPad is an incredibly versatile and wide-ranging teaching and learning tool.

Hi Dexi some schools that we work with are happy to share their experiences to date with iPad and Mac. Let me know if you find this of use.

Moving to storage serving over AFP would be the preferred route. Perhaps a Mac mini server with a RAID'd DAS device? depending on the number of client Macs...

Hi Htech, what is your domain name? If it is a .local you may get sporadic login success.
-
There is a strange "phenomenon" where when binding a Mac with a hostname with a "-" in it, the AD plugin will often replace this with a "_". It is very strange and if not spotted a "changeip -hostname" should fix it retrospectively however this is not a perfect fix.

What does the search policy say in Directory Utility? Is Active Directory above LDAPv3 (Open directory)?
-
Does Safari work for a local or admin user? One thing I can think of is that Firefox uses its own proxy settings rather that those in System Preferences. Otherwise have a look in the logs within Console and search for "Safari"; this may shed some light on what is failing.
