We're deploying iPad devices to teachers and we're using wireless casting to Promethean TVs, CTOUCH TVs etc. One issue I have ran into is that on the i3Connect devices, Miracast and wireless sharing options don't show up properly. I know this is a wireless issue, as when I change the wireless on the tablet and TV to my hotspot, they recognise each other straight away and I can connect. If I swap back to the onsite WiFi, it can't find it again. Does anyone know or had experience with an issue like this? And how we can go about unblocking this connection through Sophos so it works on the standard WiFi?

Hi All, Just wondering has anyone had any issues with the Impero Client on Macs? We have an example where if a teacher logs into the Mac then they cannot access the Impero Console, but they can if they are on a Windows device? Do Macs have to be added via Device (as well as User?)? What I dont want to do is add the Mac to the "Access Rights Console" and then this lets students access the console - even though we have a password set up. Also on another note - has anyone seen the issue where Impero icon in the taskbar on the Mac quickly flashes up and then disappears again? Which then causes the Mac to hang for a second or two - really annoying when you are typing and the device just hangs for a second or 2. Thanks

Hi All Were looking at managing a suite of 50 imacs and 20 ipads. Do we need to invest in Jamf to dish out settings, apps and updates or can Intune handle these things? We already have Intune as part of our campus agreement but wondered if it was an good with Apple products. Most of the places i've looked mention Jamf as the way to go but at a considerable cost. Any comments greatly appreciated. S

Hey hey, We have a bit of an issue with the ipad setup. In March all was working on, but for the last month we have had no luck with distributing apps to ipads in addition to buying new apps and getting them to appear in the profile manager. Nothing has been changed to my knowledge and all the settings look ok The ipads do talk somewhat to the profile manager as the enrolling and pushing apps that are already installed go into the completed tasks log and appear ok. The apps when being pushed to the ipads if they are new to the ipad will say ‘No Copies Available’ With apps that have been associated with that ipad before will with go through ok or get stuck on ‘In Progress’ Our ipads are on various IOS levels some are on 9.1 to the latest. I thought I would mention this as I know there was an issue with 9.2. I have also replaced the VPP token When buying from the educational store, the item is purchased ok and all e-mail notifications are done as usual. But sadly the item never appears on the server to distribute later. I think that this is the main issue and the part will hopefully fix the other issues we are having distributing to ipads Has anyone had this issue before or got any ideas? -

Hello, On our site we currently have 90 iPads for students to use. Some staff now want students to be able to save the research work that they do on the iPads to be able to access it from the PCs in the school. The way I was thinking of doing this was through using dropbox, but this would obviously mean a lot of hassle setting up every student with a dropbox account. Also being able to share work with their teachers would mean the staff having to set up a shared folder and typing in each individual students account. We do have fronter, and I wondered if anyone had any ideas for a solution that would be quicker and better than using dropbox before I get to work setting up approx 900 student dropbox accounts...

Hi All We use Meraki Systems manager to manage the 100 iPads we have. For a year everything has been running smoothly. Last week I had to renew the Apple MDM cert. I followed the guide provided by Meraki and renewed the certificate, everything went smoothly.. until now Clients are not reporting in and when I view a client it says the push cert is non-compliant. I clicked "what is this" under neither and it reads "This device is using an outdated APNS topic and needs to be re-enrolled. I have tried to un-enrol the device, and then enrol it by following the instructions on the iOS deployment page". I tried this with 4 iPads and now they will not reenrol. I have tried deleting the clients and removing the Profile, to no avail. I'm hoping someone has some idea on a solution to this before I try adding a new cert and attempting to re-enrol all devices from there. Thank you in advanced to any help! -
Looks like the NZ police being given iPhilth to do their jobs better may - surprise, surprise - have been stupid. Looks like one persons house was surrounded twice and searched 'accidentilly' including door breaking because their GPS told them to. The house in question was on a whole different street but after three goes it appears the cops don't even bother to check the letterbox let alone the street name when kicking in doors. Thanks Apple, you have done the impossible, made our police even more inept and needlessly aggressive. Police apologise for raiding wrong house - Story - NZ News - 3 News

Hi All, We have a set of 32 iPads. They iPads are running ios 7.1.2 with FileBrowser for business v5.4 being pushed out with Apple Configurator v1.6. We have created a startup.settings file which works when I Assign Users to the ipads. However we need a way of refreshing the iPads so that all photos, documents and any other personalized settings are removed. I can't seem to do this when the iPads have users assigned to them. Is there anyway to keep the settings in FileBrowser while removing all other documents from the iPads. Thanks in Advance

Hi All, Now this one may have been asked before, but I couldn't find it from searching. The Secondary school I work for is looking at Airserver for our staff iPads. I've finally got it working with our terrible wireless network and it connects and mirrors fine. The problem I've got is that, how do you push out Airserver and have the package name the computer according to the Computer name and set a password? We will be deploying this on our current CC4 network but will eventually have it running on our Vanilla network (once we have moved across to it) Or, do I have to go around manually installing it to all teaching machines? :/ Thanks in advance!

I'm trying to get apple classroom running on a set of 16 iMac's. I can install the teachers Classroom application fine and that run ok as far as I can tell. The issue comes when I want to add a student on a mac to a class, to add them I try and run the classroom preference pane in system preferences. It just brings up an error message You can’t open the “Classroom” preferences pane because it is not available to you at this time. To see this preferences pane, you may need to connect a device to your computer. Looking online the computers are the right specification and the OSX version is 10.14.4 and there are no updates avalible from apple. The mac's are all DEP and enrolled in meraki MDM I thought it might be a bluetooth or wireless issue but they are both on. I even tried tethering to my phone incase it was a filtering issue with the school broadband. Has anybody been able to get the classroom 2.0 app for mac working ? https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT206151

Hi all, I have recently been tasked with helping a school with their iPad deployment - i'll give you a bit of background: They have purchased 150 iPads (used by staff and students) and Lion Server which have been onsite for over 6 months but the previous technicians who were involved did not get round to setting up any sort of MDM system. The schools requirements are: 1. iPads need configuration profiles pushed out with 'curriculum' restrictions 2. iPads need configuration profiles pushed out with 'Staff' restrictions 3. They either need access to windows shares from the iPads OR the ability to save to a share on the mac server and access it from a windows client. 4. Students need to be able to sign in with their Apple ID's and install their own Apps 5. Students need 'standard' school apps pushed out via MDM. 6. The iPads are assigned to staff/students on a 1:1 basis. Now I support another school with 20x iPads which I use Apple Configurator to prepare and supervise - this works well as they sit in USB docks with servers connected to each of the two docks. Obviously with 150 devices, this isn't really suitable for Apple Configurator as we can't connect every iPad to USB every time we want to install an app so we very much need to look at over-the-air solutions. I've been looking at the Apple Profile Manager and briefly looked at an MDM solution called Airwatch but I thought I'd ask you first if there's any advice or suggestions on the best way to handle this project. Some questions I need to answer: 1. Can the native Apple Profile Manager handle the requirements above? 2. Is there functionality within Lion Server to enable sharing to windows clients or vice versa? 3. If we have to look at a third party MDM solution - what would be the most cost effective solution based on the requirements of the school listed above? This is all fairly new to me, and despite some experience with Lion/Apple Configurator, this is a daunting task for someone who is very much a 'windows' guy! Any help, advise or suggestions will be most graciously received. Thanks Chris

Can anyone advise whether a DJ mixing app exists that allows audio files to be imported via Apple Configurator? All of our iPads are supervised using Apple Configurator, hence they cannot be synced to iTunes. I have tried installing the following apps: djay (By algoriddim) Traktor DJ (By NATIVE INSTRUMENTS GmbH) DJ Mixer (By Musicsoft Arts) iDJ (By Numark) However, none of them appear to allow importing of audio tracks via Apple Configurator. I am using the 'assign' feature, and adding MP3 files to each app individually. Is anyone able to help?? I'm willing to buy any DJ app if it will work!!

There is currently a known issue with the Apple Volume Purchase Programme (VPP). There are no technical articles from Apple on the subject (???), hence the reason I felt the need to post... When attempting to purchase certain apps, with a quantity more than 20, you will receive the following error message: Purchase of this item is not currently available. This item is being modified. Please try again later.@@debugPriceInfo@@ I have spoken with someone from Apple Education, and they have confirmed that this is a known fault, and that it has been affecting the purchasing of certain apps since the VPP was launched outside of the United States. The only current (laughable) workaround, that Apple have suggested, is to purchase 19 or less of the affected apps (at the full price). They won't offer a refund for any amount over and above what you should have paid whilst waiting for them to resolve the issue. They have also provided me with a link to report the issue to Apple: https://ssl.apple.com/uk/support/itunes/vpp-edu/ I recommend that anyone experiencing the same issue report it to Apple. They are currently unable to provide any information as to when the issue will be resolved. Some of the apps affected are as follows: Garageband iPhoto iMovie Sketchbook Pro for iPad Linguascope French Vocabulary Trainer Linguascope Spanish Vocabulary Trainer MathBoard ...although I'm sure there are many more! Yet another example of Apple launching a system (Maps) before it was working properly. From my conversations with Apple UK, they appear to be equally frustrated with the situation!! Last bit of information - don't expect email receipts for any purchases made through the VPP any time soon. We received some the next day, but some 3-4 weeks after the purchase. Yet another known issue so I've been told.

Hello, A member of staff has managed to somehow persuade our head to purchase 5 iPod touches, based on the fact there is one piece of software that will be good to use for Foundation stage children. Some kind of child management software or something by 2Simple. I have nothing against Apple (i am a hardened Mac user) but bringing them onto our Windows network makes me shudder a bit. My first question is: If they go ahead with this, which they probably will no matter what i say, what's the best way to manage the devices? 2- How do you download apps on them without having to do it on each individual device? 3- Do you think it's a good idea for them to be used in Foundation stage with children aged between 4-5? 4- Is there a clinic i can go to if it all goes wrong?

Hi there, We have an interesting issue here. All the apple products(imaccs, macbooks) stop printing after about 2 weeks after they have been re-imaged but only if they are not on the same VLAN as our domain controllers. We do not use MDNS and Bonjour is disabled as well. As soon as you plug it back in to the main domain it starts printing again for about 2 weeks then it stops again. It looks like an authentication issue (Kerberos) but can't figure out what goes wrong. Using Windows 2012 R2 on the DC and Sierra 10.12.6 on the Macs Any ideas? Thanks Peter
