Mass iPad Syncing in Windows

[KyleLutnick]

Hi everyone, so we're getting 40 iPads soon that we need to sync. Can I sync 20 at a time or even all of them at once from a Windows platform using iTunes or must I use a Mac? Thanks!

I've moved this to the Help section.

I'm sure there are other solutions, but I saved this article when I saw it, because I thought it was pretty awesome.

We have one of those 49 port USB hubs sold by Datamation and syncing over 40 iPads simultaneously was easy. You can find it at Cambrionix large-scale USB charger for institutional charge and sync applications requiring industrial USB 2.0 hubs

Thanks. Saved the link for next time.

Twerppoet, the unit you suggested is nice, but you have to be careful that any solutions with slots have enough room for most iPad cases. A lot of these things are designed without taking into account that many, if not most, iPads are being used in cases, some of which are quite thick. If you have to take the iPads out of the cases to do the syncing or charging because the Griffin device is too tight, it will be a big mess. I would use some of the many alternatives available at www.ipadcarts.com.

That's the link I ended up saving, following a few extra clicks after BridgeTheGap's post.

Though the Griffin solution seems to have enough space for anything but a portfolio case, which might add considerable width as well as thickness.

There probably isn't anything but an all cable solution that could handle all the case options.
