Started the day by working on iPad 1st generation units. The original plan was to hook up all of them (about 10 units) to a Mac and reset them all then update them all - in one fell swoop. Turns out the 18-port USB hub (yes, powered) does *NOT* charge iPads. I was pretty sure I checked that specifically when I ordered the thing. I will need to revisit that.
So... I get to do one at a time. Why not 3 or 4? Well, the computer would not let me restore more than one at a time. Maybe this is normal, and multi-syncing is just that - syncing, not restoration. I dunno, and it doesn't matter now.
After the 1st Gen iPads were done, I visited with our Early Childhood Coordinator about volume purchasing a particular app. So far, that app is not in the volume buy program. I have contacted the authors to see if they will put it in there. Not sure how that would work, since all purchases are in-app only. Guess we'll see.
The same person also had an issue with her ZAGG Logitech Keyboard for her iPad 2 - it would randomly start repeating characters infinitely - or until you pressed a different key long enough for things to stop repeating.
Turns out, that is a know/common issue with these, as seen on the various forums I visited trying to find a solution. I called ZAGG and since we bought them from CDWG, we had to use an alternate registration method. Here's the kicker: the Logitech Keyboard is *NOT* in their list! I chose what I *thought* was the keyboard - instead, that turned out to be a protective shield. PROBLEM!
Well, we powered off the keyboard, forgot the connection, powered off the iPad 2, and waited for a minute or so. Then, we powered up the iPad 2 and made sure it would work sans any bluetooth keyboard. Yes. Then, powered up the keyboard and established a connection. Worked. Tried to replicate the problem. No go. That's a good thing! The keyboard was no longer acting all wonky and possessed. We'll keep an eye on it for a week, then see where we need to go, if anywhere.
And all of this happened before lunch!
What does the afternoon hold? Who knows - guess we'll find out soon!
