Configurator is a program for Mac launched by Apple immediately after the iPad 3 presentation conference and with its help we can configure our iDevices much more simply and easily. The application is specially designed for those who have to configure several iDevices at the same time and Apple promotes it as good for schools, institutions or other private companies where tens/hundreds of iDevices are distributed to employees. The application allows us to edit iOS settings, install the latest versions of the operating system, make and restore backups, install applications and much more.
During yesterday, Apple updated the application implementing many changes:
This update improves overall stability and performance and addresses a number of issues, including the following:
- Enterprise apps packaged as .ipa files are imported and installed correctly.
- Redemption codes for apps that contain a comma in their title can now be imported.
- A redemption code may be reused to install an app on another device if the original device is unsupervised and erased by Apple Configurator, or if the app's installation did not complete on the original device.
- The redemption code used to purchase an app in iTunes may also be used to install the app on one device with Apple Configurator.
- The number of redemption codes remaining for an app is now displayed correctly.
- Notes and bookmarks entered into iBooks and iTunes U are deleted when a backup is restored to a supervised device.
- The WPA2 password is saved when editing a Wi-Fi profile payload.
- The name of a stored backup is saved when edited.
- The storage capacity of an 8GB iPod touch is now displayed correctly.
Configurator is available for free in the Mac App Store.
