How to Securely Download Apple Configurator 2 (Verified Guide)
Avoid third‑party sites offering standalone AC2 DMGs unless you can independently verify them—these are a common supply‑chain risk.
- Double-click the DMG to mount it. A Finder window will appear with a white drive icon.
- Drag the "Apple Configurator 2" app into the Applications folder shortcut inside the DMG.
- Wait for the copy to complete.
- Eject the DMG (click the eject icon next to the drive in Finder).
- Launch from Applications. macOS may ask: "Apple Configurator 2 is from an unidentified developer" – but if you verified the signature above, click Open (or hold Control + click → Open).
- Grant necessary permissions:
- You are an IT administrator setting up a new Mac or Apple device for an organization.
- You are a developer creating apps for Apple devices.
- You need to configure and manage Apple devices for personal or business use.
"Resource busy"
- Cause: Attempting to modify or delete the DMG while Configurator is actively verifying or reading it.
- Fix: Wait for the operation to finish or unmount the DMG manually (drag the mounted volume to the trash/eject icon) before trying again.
