How does a person get into the beta program where you can test early releases of the iOS operating system. I am not a developer but would like to test iOS for future features and use cases. Thanks! Jim

1) If I sync a document such as a PDF or a book to my iPad and do a backup, the backup only contains a pointer to that document and not the document itself. Is this correct? 2) If I create or download a document onto my device, is the document, in full, stored in the backup? It would seem it...

Not sure if anyone read about this: IPhone attack reveals passwords in six minutes - Computerworld

Does anyone know how the Fraud Warning Safari option determines if a site is fraudulent or compromised? I am reading reviews and the setting seems to be unreliable. I tested a few sites and had mixed results. I am wondering where the data for determination originates. Thanks in advance, Jim

I was able to determine the differences between these. Subscribed calendars are one-way read-only calendars. CalDAV is the open protocol that always sharing of calendars, these calendars are read-write and sync in almost real time.

Dear Colleagues: Are there any reliable programs available (obviously from the Apple Store) that will allow you to transfer files from a Windows PC to an iPad. Something similar to mounting file shares where you can drag and drop files, FTP would also peak my interest. I am looking for...

If I make a backup of my iPad device, is it possible to restore that backup to another iPad device (a device other than the original) ? Thanks! Jim

I created a profile with ICU for my iPad. When I type my password in each character is echoed for a few seconds before it becomes a '*'. I noticed the same behavior with the default passcode. If you use MDM (mobile device management) software such as Sybase Afaria, are the characters mask as...

In the mail section on the iPad under other you can setup CalDAV or Subscribed calendars. What is the difference between them, they seem the same to me? Thanks! Jim

If I use ICU and configure a strong passcode for accessing my device: alpha-numeric, special characters, if I need to restore my device will I have any issues. I was told this causes problems for an iPhone, because after the restore the keyboard does not display, only the number pad. I was...

I was able to correct this issue. I did a factory reset of the iPad and then tried to apply to configuration but it complained again. I found out there where options not configured, but ones I did not want (e.g. VPN). Once I removed all options I did not want it worked fine. Based on this, I...

I am working with the iPhone Configuration Utility to help develop a more secure iPad. I am looking to increase password security, etc. I created a basic profile that is a stronger passcode for my device. I am not interested in jailbreaking at this time. When I try to install the profile I...

I have iTunes running on Windows Vista. I created a JPG that I wanted as wallpaper when my screen locks. I searched the forum for methods on how to get this thing onto the iPad but it is not working. The iPad is seen, but the directory is read-only so I can't drag-and-drop the photo. I tried...

For corporations looking to deploy iPads. I know you use ICU to deploy user profiles to an existing o/s. Is it possible to have a "golden build" of the operating system that you put onto the device. This would allow to to be sure the o/s does not contain any malware or other nasties. When I...

How to deploy it to business users so they don't expose company information. I am also trying to find any weird behaviors in the device. Most users have security as their last concern. :(
