Credentials Settings

Use this pane to add certificates to the device. Certificates in raw formats PKCS1 (.cer, .der, .crt) and PKCS12 (.p12, .pfx) are supported.

When installing an identity certificate on the device, make sure that the file contains a certificate and not just a private key. If you install only a private key without the necessary certificate, the identity won’t be valid. If you install an identity certificate without a private key, the user is asked to enter the private key every time the certificate is used by the device.

Additionally, make sure that the certificate authority that issued the server’s certificate is trusted on the device. You don’t need to add root certificates that are included on the device by Apple. To view a list of the preinstalled system roots, see the Apple Support article at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2185.

Instead of installing certificates with a profile, you can let users use Safari to download the certificates directly to their device from a webpage. Or, you can email certificates to users. See “Installing Identities and Root Certificates” on page 36 for more information.

To add multiple credentials, click the Add (+) button.

Advanced Settings

The Advanced pane lets you change the device’s Access Point Name (APN) settings. The APN settings define how the device connects to the carrier’s network. Change these settings only when specifically directed to do so by a carrier network expert. If these settings are incorrect, the device can’t access data using the cellular network. To undo an inadvertent change to these settings, delete the profile from the device. Apple recommends that you define APN settings in a configuration profile separate from other enterprise settings.

Editing Configuration Profiles

With iPhone Configuration Utility for Mac OS X, select a profile in the Configurations list, and then use the settings panes to make changes. You can also import a profile by choosing File > Add to Library and then selecting a .mobileconfig file. If the settings panes aren’t visible, click the Show Editor button in the toolbar.

With the web-based version of iPhone Configuration Utility, click Import Profile to load the profile that you want to edit.

If a profile is signed, you must click Remove Signature in the General pane before you can edit it.

iPod and iPod Touch specifications

The Apple iPod, first released in 2001, revolutionized the way we listen to music. This portable media player, with its sleek design and user-friendly interface, quickly garnered a dedicated following. The original iPod featured a mechanical scroll wheel and a minimalist aesthetic, allowing users to carry their music libraries wherever they went. It was a game changer in the digital music landscape, encouraging both casual listeners and audiophiles to embrace the concept of portability.

As technology evolved, so did the iPod. The introduction of the iPod Mini in 2004 marked a transition to a smaller, more compact design. In 2005, Apple launched the iPod Nano, which showcased an even slimmer profile, vibrant color displays, and flash storage for improved resistance to shocks. The most significant evolution came with the introduction of the iPod Touch in 2007, which transformed the iPod into a more multifaceted device.

The iPod Touch brought a touchscreen interface, resembling the iPhone. It allowed users to access not only their music but also apps, games, and web browsing capabilities. The device was powered by Apple's iOS, featuring a robust App Store that offered thousands of applications, from productivity tools to entertainment options. With Wi-Fi connectivity, the iPod Touch enabled users to stream music and videos, browse the internet, and utilize apps without being tethered to a computer.

In terms of audio quality, iPods have consistently featured high-performance DACs and audio processors, capable of delivering excellent sound reproduction. With support for various audio formats, including AAC, MP3, and Apple Lossless, users could enjoy their music without compromise. The integration of iTunes provided a seamless ecosystem for purchasing, organizing, and syncing music.

Throughout its iterations, the design of the iPod Touch has also evolved. The latest generations sport a sleek aluminum casing, Retina displays, and advanced camera systems. Features such as FaceTime, iMessage, and Apple Music integration have positioned the iPod Touch as a versatile device, appealing not only to music lovers but to a broader audience seeking a portable multimedia experience.

Ultimately, while the rise of smartphones may have overshadowed the iPod, its impact on the music industry and digital media consumption remains undeniable. The legacy of the iPod and iPod Touch is characterized by innovation, portability, and a continuous quest to enhance how we experience music and entertainment in our daily lives.
