   Apple Configurator 1.7

   Agen G. N. Schmitz

   Apple has released [1]Configurator 1.7, the essential tool for schools
   and businesses to manage and deploy software to multiple iOS devices.
   The update brings improvements to iTunes Store authentication, ensures
   devices are erased before restoring a backup, and adds support for new
   configuration profile payloads and settings introduced in iOS 8. It
   also adds restrictions for enabling (or disabling) use of Handoff,
   iCloud sync for managed apps, and backup of enterprise books, as well
   as supervised restrictions for erasing all contents and settings and
   enabling Internet results in Spotlight. Configurator 1.7 also now
   requires OS X Yosemite. (Free, 14.5 MB)
