Download iPhone Configuration Utility on computer Create the profile you desire to push out to the

First … Putting Devices in the Classroom

Launch iTunes … Turn on Activation-only Mode on Mac OS X: Activate all iPods Make sure iTunes isn’t running and then open Terminal. In Terminal, enter a command:

To turn activation-only mode on: defaults write com.apple.iTunes StoreActivationMode -integer 1

To turn activation-only mode off: defaults delete com.apple.iTunes StoreActivationMode

Activate/Register all iPads/iPods (Note: this has to be done one device at a time you can not activate/register multiple devices at once) Determine naming convention for the devices specific to that

cart. Example: emcipodc1.1, emsipadc1.2 etc.

With all devices plugged in cart launch the configuration utility. Push out the ‘image’ to all the iPads/iPods

Second … Putting Devices in the hands of Staff

Considerations Sync Station (central

vs. personal) Email account to use Apple ID Naming

(common vs. specific) Is personal use

permissible? (AUP)

Determine Generic Naming Convention Create gmail email account &

Apple ID (w.o. credit card) Register Device using

‘activation only’ in iTunes Distribute devices Send out email using iPhone

Configuration Utility Settings for email Wireless settings

NOTE: these are meant to be personal devices which makes it really hard to manage.

How to ‘push out’ the Volume Purchased Apps

Greetings Mary Anne Melvin ,

This email provides the links to download the APPS, NoteShelf  and  MSecure .  Please follow the directions below to download NoteShelf and MSecure to your DEVICE (do not use your computer to download the Apps).  The APPS will be stored in your iTunes library when you sync your device with your district issued laptop. 

 OPEN the BARRACUDA on your iPAD.  Using Safari go to Facebook.com or Youtube.com ... you will be prompted to enter your Barracuda bypass. After you enter

your bypass Facebook.com or Youtube.com website will open.  Now you are ready to download the APP.  NOTE:  If you are at home step 1 & 2 are NOT necessary.

2.  Go back to your email (using your iPad) and open the email, from me, with the download information. 3.  Click on the Redemption Links provided.  Redemption Link (noteshelf): https://buy.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/freeProductCodeWizard?

'Continue' 5.  You should receive a message indicating that your APP is downloading … repeat steps 3 & 4 for the next download.  Please let me know immediately if you encounter problems. 

Last week I sent the App iAnnotatePDF … here are some youtube video links.  They explain some of the features and how the App works.  (that was Brian Miller’s idea … thanks, Brian)

in each notebook.  This is not the best video but it gives a general overview.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhSS470kXBg NOTE:  This App works using your fingertip however, it works best with a stylus.  If you purchase a stylus make sure that it can

be used with the iPad.  It should have a soft tip.  This email also contains the App MSECURE however, youtube did not have any useful videos for this App.
