Place an iOS device in Supervised mode with the Apple Configurator

To use the Apple Configurator, you need an Apple computer running macOS 10.7.2 or later.

Important:

Placing a device into Supervised mode installs the selected version of iOS on the device, completely wiping the device of any previously stored user data or apps.

  1. Install the Apple Configurator from iTunes.

  2. Connect the iOS device to your Apple computer.

  3. Start the Apple Configurator. The Configurator shows that you have a device to prepare for supervision.

  4. To prepare the device for supervision:

    1. Switch the Supervision control to On. Citrix recommends that you choose this setting if you intend to maintain control of the device on an ongoing basis by reapplying a configuration regularly.

    2. Optionally, provide a name for the device.

    3. In iOS, click Latest for the latest version of iOS you want to install.

  5. When you’re ready to prepare the device for supervision, click Prepare.
