Apple Configurator: Activation failed


hi all

i'm having problem apple configurator , preparing devices - ipad 3rd gen.

apple configurator sees ipad fine when start preparation phase fails @ 'activation failed'.

when hover on yellow warning triangle see:

'unable activate (activation store bag request not obtained). try again later.'

looking in console, see:

02/04/2012 17:38:04.300 [0x0-0x4a04a].com.apple.configurator: error - 1398185ms apply policy of udid:*removed_by_me* failed: error domain=com.apple.mdk.error code=5 "unable activate (activation storebag request not obtained). try again later." userinfo=0x7f91bab25df0 {nestederror=error domain=nsurlerrordomain code=-1001 "the request timed out." userinfo=0x7f91bad737c0 {nsunderlyingerror=0x7f91bab89af0 "the request timed out.", nserrorfailingurlstringkey=http://ax.init.itunes.apple.com/bag.xml?ix=3, nserrorfailingurlkey=http://ax.init.itunes.apple.com/bag.xml?ix=3, nslocalizeddescription=the request timed out.}} (/sourcecache/appleconfigurationutility/appleconfigurationutility-90.1/application/controllers/cddevicecontroller.m:456)

have no idea going on!

far have tried:

- activating ipad manually through wi-fi , itunes
- downloading ios ipsw file , using os install
- enabling , disabling supervision
- creating profile applied

of above hasn't fixed i'm bit stumped!

Ideal computing setup?


dear all,

please accept apologies if in wrong forum.

keen photographer , make heavy use of nikon d300, file output being either 12-bit lossless compressed or 14-bit nef. have noticed on last year editing these images on may 2007 macbook has become pain - in particular, takes quite while change make reflected on screen. has taken lot of fun out of hobby , while have changed way use camera minimise need digital darkroom, cannot eliminate need entirely.

desktop system can effortlessly process images - @ point in future expect upgrade higher resolution body , acquire upcoming edition of photoshop, system handle quite bit.

there no particular budget in mind , in no hurry buy anything. thinking along lines of 27" imac appreciate further advice , recommendations, particularly on things displays , storage solutions.

thank help.

regards,
droid13
 

you have 5 year old consumer laptop. pretty new , fine dealing images d300 , bigger sensor.

mbp fine if want portability, ram. imac fine "desktop" ram. mac pro overkill don't let me stop getting one.

ex used process medium format bigger shoot on mbp 0 problems.

App Expose in Lion-only show windows in current desktop?


does know if there way in lion limit app expose showing windows in current desktop (as opposed desktops)

in snow leopard there helpful terminal command allow this:

defaults write com.apple.dock wvous-show-windows-in-other-spaces -bool false

in lion command doesn't work. use spaces separate different tasks doing rather apps. ex: work on 1 desktop, casual browsing on another, particular research topic on etc. expose great finding windows think appreciate more windows have less useful becomes. separating work multiple desktops way reduce number of windows have sort through in lion when activate app expose see of open windows app. what's worse because there more windows sort through accidentally click on 1 belongs space , yanked space...very disorienting , wish apple give option never happen. never want in space unless take action go there!

combined fact mission control doesn't let see when have more few windows single app open makes difficult take full advantage of spaces (imho).

wondering if missing terminal command, or if had ideas way fix in lion...or perhaps thing have learn let go...(i really hope ml because after months of using lion still find myself missing sl)
 

any responses? pleeeeeese!

gosh. have been trying resolve issue forever , still haven't come conclusion. know how feel! i'm surprised haven't found more information online. can't 2 feel way.

have been able resolve issue? i'm open upgrading 10.8 if need be.

How to make "Restart" automatically "Force Quit" all applications?


so overall i'm extremely happy "switch" mac. 1 thing bothers me though. whenever want restart machine, have tell 5-6 times in order running apps force quit themselves. don't understand why "restart" doesn't automatically quit them all; want them quit, otherwise wouldn't have clicked restart.

how can make clicking "restart" automatically that? don't want have manually quit everything, stupid , un-mac like. restarting machine should take 1 action , that's it. how make that?

thanks...
 

there thread in mac basics , troubleshooting forum. i'll give same answer: mac os x designed quit (but not force quit) open applications. if not shut down, it's because there application hung. if happening on regular basis, , i'm guessing is, need find out why. should not have force quit applications @ all, not every time go restart computer.

applications consistently hang , refuse let computer shut down without force quitting them?

    • for 64-bit snow leopard, read this: macfuse 64-bit snow leopard
    • some have reported problems using tuxera (approx $36).

Is this a stupid idea?


to honest, i'm terrified late 2011 macbook pros last offer professional features, ability upgrade memory , hard drive, swap optical sad, etc.

think i've decided i'm going go ahead , purchase late 2011 15 inch 2.4 i7 4 gb of ram (to upgraded crucial) , 1gb discrete graphics, hi rez matte screen. current macbook pro makes graphic , video work tedious, , while know apple come out newer mbp's, rumors have been flying thinner , more macbook air like. may possibly mean loss of features described above. know love glossy screens, , 1 thing next macbook pro cannot have.

if worst fears confirmed, have refurbished late 2011 model, don't want do.

idea.. purchase late 2011 model specs listed above, , if apple surprises me , releases newer macbook pro doesn't give features want, can sell late 2011 model , still money it. if sold current macbook pro (2009) around $500 it, , should offset difference.

way, i'm prepared if apple goes down scary path , have computer need to. @ same time prepared in case apple surprises , it's macbook pro line.

plan crazy?
 

i think it'll while before rid of macbook pro, if ever. there's nothing worry about.

New MacBook air running kernel_task at 300%


well pulled trigger , bought new base 13" air online store , first time turn on fans went max 6000 rpms , never shut off unless machine sleeps or shutdown.

talk bad luck eh...:rolleyes:. haven't gotten yet , it's days out of box now. cpu kernel_task high 4 cpu boxes full red , task stays @ 300+% straight nonstop. machine laggy it's unusable.

reset smc
reset pram
repaired permissions
verified ssd (samsung)
ran hardware test mode extended , passed
reinstalled lion 10.7.3 clean not recovery


no change after that

suspect bad thermal sensor or logic board.

interesting thing machine cold touch no heat whatsoever.

hate loose samsung ssd rather have stable new machine. think buying refurb better @ least know fixed issues had after leaving factory.

View synced files?


i've browsed macrumors forums, lot of helpful stuff here, never had post before though.

here's question:
there way view synced iphone files?
every once , while i'll sync new iphone name, when restore old sync gives me option recover files might have accidentally deleted or regret deleting on phone.

instead of having restore , sync, i'm wondering if there way view i've synced on macbookpro (osx 10.2.7).

thanks, guys out lot.
 

yes, using app called iphone backup extractor. (assuming haven't encrypted backups)

http://www.iphonebackupextractor.com/

can use app extract specific files backups , manually add them device (which can done through app called iphone explorer).

Mistaken Revert, lost files: Jailbreak, DataRecovery & what does "ERASE" really mean?


i upgraded original iphone iphone 4 last february. had gone through divorce , did not want photos, contacts, texts, old life automatically installed on new iphone. complex task of separating details emotionally daunting @ time, put off entire year , built new life new iphone.

before proceeding, please know i'm tech savvy , have been apple user since 1989. know danger of not backing , understand screwed up. so, please, kindly skip lecture when offering assistance. thank understanding!

when connected new phone computer, sloppy , hit revert. enough time passed serious damage before realized mistake. year's worth of information removed phone quit itunes , ripped cord computer before complete process , install "new" reverted data. photos on phone removed not revert photos installed. old notes removed not revert notes installed. stopped mid-process.

researched forum , elsewhere ways access "drive" see if files remain. learned need jailbreak. proceeded jailbreak using tool find power pc users, pwnagetool 4.2. procedure went smoothly until stopped when itunes stated going "erase" phone before installing new software. didn't want more "erasing" until better understood happening.

iphone forensics site stated jailbreaking software can installed in partition used system , that, when using million-dollar service, user data untouched. unclear if true jailbreaking. attempting data recovery need process of access minimal damage, i'm unclear happens , where, when jailbreak program states via itunes going "erase" before installing. i'm thinking "erase" (which know involves writing zeros) means "marking overwrite" may confusing traditional spinning drives memory-like nature of iphone storage.

so, questions far:

1. if stopped "revert" process before data written, did itunes "erase" old files first or mark them "overwrite"? if did not allow full revert process completed, of old files still there yet invisible?

2. jailbreaking limited changes in system partition? itunes "erase" every last sector of drive before installing new ipsw or sector involving system. did overwrite needed sectors, leaving user data sectors intact, if not visible?

3. there jailbreak procedures available not require itunes , can employable on ios 4.2.1. discovered jailbreakme states must "upgrade" system before can used.

4. there easier way or program out there (besides resorting $2000 data recovery , forensics services can't afford) @ drive files that:
a. not require jailbreaking?
b. can done power pc (my other big problem in nightmare; can't afford macintel either @ time)?

if can solve question of what's left on drive , "erasing" while jailbreaking may complicate data recovery, i'll post new discussion regarding next steps. thank in advance time, expertise, , willingness strangers come here. have great day!

Retina display in iPad vs. iPhone


the iphone retina display 326 ppi while new ipad retina display 264 ppi. if apple release ipad 326 ppi, increase in pixel density? when apple went iphone 3gs iphone 4, screen resolution doubled exactly, making updating graphics easy developers. things more difficult in terms of scaling if apple kept 9.7" screen size of ipad put upped ppi 264 326?
 

yes, scaling more difficult.

, not that, pointless. witness people moaning how retina ipad has many pixels.

double UGH....


i have ip4s, jailbroken ios 5.0.1. 3 times today phone went apple logo , stuck there couple of minutes. have on phone theme, infiniboard, ifile, iconoclasm , winterboard installed. took them off , still did it.

can reinstall cydia see if corrects problem?

hate have restore phone , lose jailbreak

thank help...
 

reinstalling cydia unlikely fix problem. reinstalling mobile substrate might. or uninstall tweaks, reinstall 1 @ time until problem reappears.

1 problem if mess , need restore, jailbreak gone good. dev team recommends installing openssh, if phone moderately messed (like underlying unix boots, user interface crashes) can ssh phone , fix it. there irc channel people can doing (see http://blog.iphone-dev.org/)

important: if install openssh must use log in computer , change ssh password, both user "root" , "mobile". default password "alpine", , can access phone remotely if not change it. if choose safe password openssh should safe.
