iPads

An Explanation About iPad Restrictions

  • All iPads that are to be used at the College are required to go through a setup process whereby they are erased and prepared with a customised Tatachilla environment with security and settings all preconfigured.
  • ICT Services are unable to complete this process if there is an AppleID already signed in to the iPad. Therefor, any signed in AppleID's will require removal from the iPad before ICT Services can perform the setup process.
  • Please note, when iPad's are processed for use at the College, all existing data on the iPad (games, apps, settings, photos and videos etc.) will be removed.
  • It is recommended that any important data on the iPad's be backed up first, before the iPad is brought in to ICT Services for setting up.
  • This setup process enables ICT Services to deploy apps and settings as required by Teachers quickly and easily.
  • The setup process also enforces settings for a students age level which prevents the installation of games/apps that are rated above their year group.
  • Please note, that the setup process still allows parents and families to use their personal AppleID's to make purchases from both iTunes and the App Store.
    However, keep in mind that age restrictions still apply, based on the College security settings mentioned above.

Hard Resetting / Rebooting An iPad

  • Once the iPad has restarted, you will find that the above issues should be resolved.

How Do I Sign Into The App Store?

  • On the iPad, open the Settings app.
  • From the left-hand menu, scroll down until you find the iTunes And App Store section.
  • By default this section will be signed in to the Students Tatachilla AppleID, you are able to sign out of this AppleID by tapping on it and tapping Sign Out.
  • You can then sign in with your own AppleID by tapping on Sign In and entering your AppleID details.
  • It is recommended to password protect all AppStore purchases, while the iPad is signed in with your AppleID. This prevents accidental purchases via iTunes or the App Store.

Sound Not Working In Some iPad Apps?

Sometimes when iPad settings are changed, you may find that sound stops working on some or all installed apps. This is an iPad settings issue that can be quickly fixed.

  • On the iPad, open the Settings app.
  • In the Settings app, select General.
  • Under General, scroll down the right-hand menu to the section labelled as Reset.
  • Select the top option, which is 'Reset All Settings'. (Be careful not to select 'Erase All Content And Settings).

Each document you make should also be named according to the assignment, such as 12English_Shrek_criticalreview.docx

General Assistance & FAQ

How Do I Repair My Device?

As BYOD devices are purchased external to the college they come with a warranty and manufacturer guarantee bound to them. If you encounter a fault with your device we recommend getting in touch directly with the manufacturer for the fastest response, rather than talking to the place you bought it from as this can delay the repair.

For Apple devices we always recommend talking with Apple first and allow them to diagnose the fault remotely if possible. If they are unable to do this they can then direct you to their approved and authorised repair agent. If you take it back to the place you bought it from such as JB HiFi or Harvey Norman we have observed that the wait time is extended by several weeks. For a fast and quick repair click here to start the process with Apple.

While the device is away the college can prepare a loan device to ensure schoolwork and homework are not interrupted. These devices are for 2 weeks but can be extended if the repair is taking some time to complete - simply drop into the ICT helpdesk with the loan unit and we can perform a quick check and then extend the loan.

Requesting Access To Blocked Websites

Most websites are simple to do, however there may be some with different content that may cause it to be blocked by several rules and may need some additional work.

Phishing Emails

Phishing emails are emails designed to capture your information by appearing real, when in fact they are not. There are thousands of different types but generally they ask you to do something like click a link, open an attachment, update your details or act urgently due to something happening. Here are some good rules of thumb to follow:

Too Good To Be True - Lucrative offers and eye-catching or attention-grabbing statements are designed to attract people’s attention immediately. For instance, many claim that you have won an iPhone, a lottery, or some other lavish prize. Just don't click on any suspicious emails. Remember that if it seems to good to be true, it probably is!
Sense of Urgency - A favorite tactic amongst cybercriminals is to ask you to act fast because the super deals are only for a limited time. Some of them will even tell you that you have only a few minutes to respond. When you come across these kinds of emails, it's best to just ignore them. Sometimes, they will tell you that your account will be suspended unless you update your personal details immediately. Most reliable organizations give ample time before they terminate an account and they never ask patrons to update personal details over the Internet. When in doubt, visit the source directly rather than clicking a link in an email.
Hyperlinks - A link may not be all it appears to be. Hovering over a link shows you the actual URL where you will be directed upon clicking on it. It could be completely different or it could be a popular website with a misspelling, for instance www.bankofarnerica.com - the 'm' is actually an 'r' and an 'n', so look carefully.
Attachments - If you see an attachment in an email you weren't expecting or that doesn't make sense, don't open it! They often contain payloads like ransomware or other viruses. The only file type that is always safe to click on is a .txt file.
Unusual Sender - Whether it looks like it's from someone you don't know or someone you do know, if anything seems out of the ordinary, unexpected, out of character or just suspicious in general don't click on it!

How Often Should I Restart My Device?

It is recommended to restart your device regularly. Sleep technology and power saving on laptops has come a long way in the past few years. However a restart of your laptop cleans the slate, clears out any potential problems and ensures that your device is ready to go anytime. A significant number of issues can be prevented by a simple restart each day.

A good practise that users can employ is that at the end of the day, save your work and shut your device down. When you start again in the morning turn it back on and it will be in the best state for you to begin your day.

iPads don't need a restart as often as laptops do, however a restart can resolve any issues you may with apps crashing or the device slowing down. See here on how to restart.

Printing & Scanning

General Printing Information

Staff
Staff are able to print and release to any copier or printer in the college. Staff devices when they are configured by the ICT department get a piece of software called PaperCut installed which allows them to send a job to the print queue to release from any printer. 

Printing a job: When printing a pop up will appear on your screen asking for which account you want to allocate the print job to. Select personal or the relevant faculty and click OK. If you miss this you can select the account on any of the copiers.
Releasing a job: Tap your printing fob on the reader at any copier. To release your printing click the list of jobs and select those you want to print and tap print. If you haven’t selected an account when printing tap the arrow on the right hand side of the job when it appears in the list and select the account. Then tap print.

Students
Printing Students (Junior school) When printing select the closest printer (named by room) and the job will immediately start to print out.
Printing Students (Middle and Senior school) Students using their laptops send through their print jobs to the print anywhere queue. They can then tap their student ID card on the reader of any copier and release their print jobs. Students all have $20 printing credit and prints are deducted from this, if students need further credit they can speak with the ICT department.

 

PaperCut Dialogue For Staff

If when printing the dialogue box doesn't appear  to select an account it could be the program isn’t open or isn’t working. See steps below to rectify:

Windows: 

  • Check for the PaperCut P logo near the clock

  • Wait a moment for it to check the queue and a pop up box to appear
  • If not restart your computer

Apple:

Drop in and see the team, email ictservices@tatachilla.sa.edu.au or call on 1111 (0883294466) and we can enable right away.

Alternatively, if you have lost your fob and need to purchase a new one, see the finance team in the main reception and pay $20 for a new one and we can setup and reissue you a new fob.

 

Selecting A Print Account At Photocopiers

When you get to a photocopier and select jobs to print, it may ask you to select the print account for one of the jobs. In the job list, tap the arrow on the right to select the properties of the job. You will see near the bottom left an option to select the account. Tap the pencil icon and select the relevant account from the list.

Normally this happens if the pop up box doesn’t appear on your computer or if you forgot to wait for it. If it isn’t appearing see here for steps to resolve.

 

Hold For Authentication Error

This error usually occurs when your Tatachilla password has been reset. When attempting to print you will see a bouncing printer icon on your dock at the bottom of the screen, if you click on that icon you will see a list of attempted print jobs with a ‘Hold For Authentication’ error beneath them.

  • Click on the ‘refresh’ icon next to each listed print job, your laptop will prompt you to enter your Tatachilla username and password.
    • Username: Enter your username only, do NOT include the ‘@s.tatachilla.sa.edu.au’ extension.
    • Password: Enter your current Tatachilla password

The stuck print-jobs will then be sent through to the printers and clear out from the list on your laptop. You can then release the print jobs at the printers.

ViVi

Advice For Smoother Video Playback On ViVi

  • Open the ViVi Client
  • Login if required
  • Select the room that you are in
  • Enter the PIN for the room displayed on screen
  • Present your screen and ensure it shows on the tv/projector
  • Click room on the ViVi client
  • Select Movie Mode

Note: this adds a delay into your presentation, meaning you can move your mouse on your laptop and it may take 1-3 seconds to happen on the screen. For long presentations of video content this delay may expand to absorb any buffering and stop/start issues with playback.

Advice For Smoother DVD Playback On ViVi

DVD playback through ViVi can sometimes stutter during playback and stop and start and generally make for poor viewing at times. This is because the Vivi is trying to play the DVD and present your screen at the same time, but purely depends on the DVD quality as well.

We highly recommend if you cannot find the movie on ClickView (You can ask the library staff to upload your DVD there, making it easier the next time you need to view it) to turn Movie Mode on within the Vivi software. This is designed exactly for this scenario and adds an extra allowance into the Vivi to be able to absorb and take away the stutter.

After connecting to the room and presenting our screen:

  • Click the Room button
  • Check the box next to movie mode

Please note this adds a small delay, otherwise known as a buffer, into the playback. Normally from 1-5 seconds, this is normal and not your computer being slow.

How Do I Change Playback Quality?

Some content on YouTube, ClickView etc. has been known to Stutter/Freeze during playback on ViVi when being displayed in 1080P.

Unfortunately, this is due to the way that the content has been compressed, formatted or uploaded to these websites.

By default ViVi will display content in 1080P, but you can change this to a lower setting to avoid any stutter/freezing when playing back content from YouTune/ClickView etc.

  • On your device, open the ViVi App.
  • If required, log in with your College username and password.
  • Select the section of the College, then the classroom that you are located in.

  • Once connected, click on the 'Gear Cog' icon at the top right of the ViVi App.
  • The list of settings will appear, and at the top there will be 3 options.
    • 480P: The lowest quality setting, best for reducing stutter/freezing.
    • 720P: The medium quality setting, balances quality with playback performance.
    • 1080P: The highest quality setting, looks the best, but may stutter/freeze on certain content.
  • If you are experiencing significant playback issues, select either 720P or 480P and attempt the playback of the video again. You will find that playback performance improves, but a the cost of some display quality.

HandBrake

What is HandBrake?

HandBrake takes videos you already have on your device, or external media (USB drive, SD card or DVD), and converts into a digital copy that will work on your mobile phone, tablet, computer, or web browser.

HandBrake is the ideal app that can be used when a video is required to be uploaded to ClickView from your device or external media.

HandBrake calls the video you already have on your device or external media as the 'Source'.

  4. Once you have located the video file, click on 'Open'. The video file will then open in HandBrake.

You can also drag your 'Source' video file onto HandBrake’s main window. This is the preferred way to easily open the 'Source' video file.

Making use of the Title Control feature

Some 'Source' video files may contain more than one video clip, or a collection of 'Titles'.

Fortunately, ClickView includes a 'Title Control' feature that allows you to easily navigate through the different Titles of a 'Source' video file.

The 'Title Control' drop-down menu is located at the top left of the handbrake screen when a 'Source' video file is loaded into Handbrake.

Usually, there will be multiple 'Titles' on 'Source' video files opened from a DVD or Blu-Ray disc.

You can use HandBrake’s Title Control feature to select which video clip you want to use and convert.

Selecting a preset, and which is the best to use?

HandBrake provides a number of settings Presets to make your new video work well with your playback devices and software.

The default 'Fast 1080p30' preset is often a good choice because it’s fast and compatible with most devices, and accepted when uploaded to ClickView.

How do I save a video I have just converted?

  1. Launch HandBrake from your Windows or MacOS device.
