Apple updates Pro Applications, Final Cut Server, and iPhone Config Utility

Last Thursday, Apple released three updates that we forgot to touch on.

Pro Applications Update 2008-03 (support site link)
Pro Applications Update 2008-03 "addresses general performance issues and improves overall stability." More information about the Pro Apps update can be found in the release notes. You can download the installer package here.

Final Cut Server Update 1.1.1 (support site link)
Apple notes on their support website that FCS Update 1.1.1 addresses "installation issues and general performance issues and improves overall stability." Apple has also posted more information about the update in the release notes.

iPhone Configuration Utility 1.0.1 for Mac OS X (support site link)
The iPhone Config Utility allows enterprises to maintain a large number of iPhones (including installing and provisioning applications). The utility has been updated to version 1.0.1, and in normal Apple update fashion, they have not included any release notes for this version. You can however, download the installer package by visiting the Apple support site.

All of these updates require Mac OS X 10.5.5, which was updated last week. You can download these updates by opening Software Update (Apple menu > Software Update) or by visiting the Apple support website links and download the installer packages.

Apple releases iPhone Configuration Utilities

Apple has just released a few tools that are going to make folks looking to deploy many iPhones at once very happy:

All three of these utilities allow you to create a configuration file that can be emailed or posted to a web site. This file, once loaded onto an iPhone, will configure a number of settings including, and I quote, 'device security policies, VPN configuration information, Wi-Fi settings, APN settings, Exchange account settings, mail settings, and certificates that permit iPhone and iPod touch to work with your enterprise systems.'

The iPhone Configuration Web Utility (for both Mac and Windows) simply let you create these config files (which are XML files) while the Mac only iPhone Config Utility lets you create config files, as well as access logs, and makes it possible to install apps on iPhones.

These apps are going to make any enterprise iPhone users happy, and best of all they are free.

Tip of the Day

To get an instant map to any address, just go to your Address Book and right click on the address field of any one of your contacts and select "Map Of." The address will then be revealed in Google Maps on Safari. You can do the same if a data detector determines there is an address in an e-mail in Mail.
