I have an Apple Configurator install that wont recognize an iPad when I attach it via USB. I cant prepare it or refresh it. It was supervised. I get an error message that says "policy does not have correct profile data". Please help!!!

I have an Apple Configurator install that wont recognize an iPad when I attach it via USB. I cant prepare it or refresh it. It was supervised. I get an error message that says "policy does not have correct profile data". At some point there was a mismatch between the profile on the iPad and the MAC server. The profile on the MAC server has been deleted and the iPad has been erased and reset to default. I need to be able to get Configurator to recognize this device to prepare it for deployment and issue Apps to it. Please help!!

Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.3)

If your preapre tab is stuck in this state:


1. Quit Configurator

2. In Terminal, execute defaults delete com.apple.configurator PreprationSavedPolicyDefaultsKey


If a supervised device is stuck in this state:


1. option-right-click the device in the Supervise tab, and click remove.

2. Re-connect the device

3. You will have to re-define the supervision settings for that device.
