Apple Updates 'Configurator' App With Improvements and Bug Fixes

by

NewImageApple has updated its enterprise iOS configuration tool, Apple Configurator. The Mac app, originally released last year, allows anyone to mass configure and deploy iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch devices in an enterprise environment.

The new update provides Apple's usual "improvements and bug fixes" including the ability to cancel scheduled or in-progress operations.

What's new

Apple Configurator 1.3 contains improvements and bug fixes including:

• Significantly improved reliability, scalability and performance
• A new status view that includes time estimates and error information with recovery suggestions
• Ability to cancel scheduled or in-progress operations
• Administrators can install apps on devices configured to not allow users to install apps

Apple Configurator is a free download from the Mac App Store. [Direct Link]
