Configurator restore backup loses iPad Restrictions password and email password.
I am using configurator. I have experienced progress, yeah! I have 12 iPads. The one I setup with perfect settings and apps is named, A1.
I have successfully created a backup of A1, and call it Configurator Master BU.
When I supervise my remaining iPads, A2-A12, I have it set to restore from the above mentioned backup.I plug them in, and click apply. Even if an app was deleted, it comes back. Yeah! Since I am restoring from a backup of an iPad that was already configured, I don't get the iOS setup assistant anymore. Yeah!
I created a profile, and tried to set up a gmail email account there. The imap.gmail.com incoming email server just wouldn't work! So I decided to delete that 'payload' and go set up the email on A1 through Account settings. On the iPad A1, I also enabled Settings->General->Restrictions and set a password. I restricted allowing the users to change the email accounts. A1 works great.
The restored iPads do not.
When checking email, it says the account doesn't have a password.
When you go to settings, the account info is greyed-out.
When you go to restrictions, they are greyed out, except that you can select "enable restrictions".
Once you do that, you can go back in and set the email password.
How can I convince Configurator to keep the email and restrictions passwords when I restore form backups?
Thank you!
Taylor.
