Manager profile and updates the server imacs

We are new to this rehabilitation so much ignorance.  We are implementing in our public library 30 off a server imacs mini mac OS X Server (El Capitan).  We have MDM, VPP and the Profile Manager.  Using the Profile Manager, we can get the updates for the programs Apple or operating system to deploy about 30 imacs.  Imacs keep asking apple ID and should not do.  Since these imacs will be out for use by the public, we don't want people by connecting you with their own accounts on itunes/icould kind are locked down, so the updates that need to be pushed from the server.  We followed all the directions in which we can find, but so far without success.  Anyone know the answer?

Thank you.

Hi Susan,.

Welcome to the forums.  If you are one of those borderline cases where the VPP doesn't really help.  As you deploy systems of shared use, and as you said, you don't want visitors enter personal data on the machine that are public terminals, they does not really benefit you in the collapse of the licenses in the VPP program.  VPP works very well if you have unique Apple IDS on each of these devices and each device has a user invited to the VPP.  But, I guess, you have a local administrator account and possible you are exploiting the guest account or using something like Deep Freeze to protect the machines of significant change.  If this is the case, the last thing you want to do is to manage manually 30 Apple ID each machine which means you would end up with 30 catalogues of app store.  Messy.  And very manual.

You can provide compliance with the VPP program (you have 30 licenses of each application), you will probably have to fudge the distribution of the software.  For example, the last update to iMovie.  You bought 30 Apple machines.  Each machine came with an individual license of iMovie.  You converted to the VPP seats.  Ah, but you do not have 30 users to invite to the program to claim each seat.  I suggest you fudge it a little as you can always stay in compliance.

Download the update for a single machine.  Suppose that you have a "master".  It could even be your server.  Patch iMovie on this machine.  Then, use a tool like Apple Remote Desktop (retail $ 80 on the App Store) to push the App update for 29 other machines.  The application is nothing more than a bundle of the application.  You don't need to do something special for the app get her as a source in the functionality of the copy of the elements or the ARD.  Now you download the application once on the internet and put it on other devices.  Bind the iApps a identifier Apple is a thorn in all shared device deployments.  The key is to stay in compliance of the software.

Don't forget.   The Profile Manager is any device monitoring and management parameters.  The Profile Manager can not deliver software to devices.

I hope this helps.  Looks like a good library to have 30 ready to use Mac.

If the children are, I would suggest installing zero from MIT, Lego Digital Designer Lego, Meshmixer from Autodesk and even the unity game engine.  All are free tools and can provide interesting opportunities for youth programming.  Scratch for the Foundation in computer programming, LDD for the architect budding in each of us (and it's Lego), Meshmixer is a modeling tool from Autodesk, which is free and the unit for those adolescents who are seeking to build their own games.

Oh, and you should probably set a firmware password or activate the full encryption of the disk on machines to prevent visitors curious to play with your machines.  Encryption will require a member of library staff unlock the device at each reboot.  Who can get boring.  A firmware password would be only necessary if someone was trying to use modifiers to boot (which is what you're trying to prevent).

These Macs can open up unimaginable avenues of learning for your community.  Be creative.  Push the limits.  Don't let them collect dust.

  • Firefox stop working and I can't even open the profile page to create another profile and start the migration to a new profile, what to do now?

    I can't get firefox to respond - even to open. I tried the suggestion of support for the creation of a new profile, but the instructions are not working anymore so I can't create a new profile and test the system. I don't want to lose my info saved thanks to a re - install if I'm not even sure that it will work - if the data is corrupted. whatever that means.

    At a stand still...

    BTW - since I have to use IE even access this info I can't find the troubleshooting information below. It gets ridiculously more complicated that I never wanted him.

    Some Firefox problems can be solved by performing a clean reinstall. This means that you remove Firefox program files, and then reinstall Firefox and won't lose bookmarks and history. Please follow these steps:

    1. Download the latest version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org office and save the installer to your computer.
    2. Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (click on quit in the file menu or Firefox).
    3. Remove the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
      • Windows:

        • C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
        • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox
      • Mac: Delete Firefox in the Applications folder.
      • Linux: If you have installed Firefox with the distribution-based package manager, you must use the same way to uninstall: see Install Firefox on Linux. If you have downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
    4. Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
      1. Double-click on the downloaded Setup file and go through the steps in the installation wizard.
      2. Once the wizard is completed, click to open Firefox directly after clicking the Finish button.

    Please report back to see if this helped you!

  • Cannot install and update the apps store of windows 8

    Cannot install and update the apps store of windows 8. When I click the button install is not install only loadin. Plese help me.

    After trying all suggestions from several sites, I found that the problem is that the Firewall window must be running in order for the applications to install.   If you are running Windows 8 Pro, go to the desktop and click on "My computer" and double click on 'manage '.  In the window on the left side computer management, expand "Services and Applications".   Click on 'Services', in the Center window, scroll down to "Windows Firewall" right click on "Windows Firewall" and click "Properties".  If the Startup Type is "disabled", click to drop down and select "Automatic".  At this point, you can click on 'Start' under the service status.  Once the Windows Firewall is started, you should be able to start installing and or update your apps from the app store.

  • Why is able to save and update the passwords for sites other than those of Blackboard FF?

    I am able to save and update passwords on other sites, but not on the Blackboard learn for my University. They force us to change our pw is from time to time, and I think I noticed it after that Blackboard did some updates to their site. It will always load autofill with my old account and password, but not update it. I deleted the password stored and tried to get FF to remember once again on my laptop, but it has not yet asked to save him. I'm guessing that there is a new code or a script for the journal in the procedure? Is there a manual way to enter and update the credentials stored?

    Hello, sites can specify that passwords should not be stored (however I do know that if this is the case on the page you are having problems with, since you did not specify which University it affects). as a way to get around this, you can use an addon like this: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/remember-passwords

  • Is it possible to reset the date of the last virus and update the spyware definitions in XP?

    I have xpsp3.  I was looking at my calendar to find out what day of the week, an event that happens in November, and unfortunately I forgot to go back to the date of the day before I have updated the definitions of viruses and spyware on MSE.  Now, MSE think my latest definitions of viruses and spyware are obsolete, because they were supposed to be updated three months from now.  So my question is: is it possible to reset the date of the last virus and update the spyware definitions in XP?

    Correct the date on your computer. Remove the antivirus/malware product and reinstall.

    -OR-

    To restore before the update, use the system restore. Make sure the date is correct. Update.

    What happened when you tried? The sliders were ' for the update of "syntax, so there is no general problem update lines inside a loop of cursor.

    The big question you have, it is that the loop is completely and totally useless. What you can do in SQL, do in SQL - not to complicate things with PL/SQL that you don't need.
