Decent program. A bit overpriced for iPod copier in my opinion. It could use a few more features/prefs. I still think Podworks is the best app for the money, but since it seems to be abandoned, I'm looking for alternatives. This app could really use a "Only Show Tracks NOT in iTunes" feature. I use that more than anything else with Podworks. The way this app does "incremental" backups/updates isn't necessarily that intuitive. It's almost there, but not quite, at least not for $20.

$20 a pop & 2 years free upgrades for ripping all my friend's iPhones music tracks?
It's a no brainer - bought it.

I tried after I had a great experience with DiskAid form the same guys. TuneAid's not specially exciting but worked well and surprisingly fast (copied a big iPod Classic in minutes)...
I was not aware about this pricing issue so I wrote the devs, they were really concerned, and said they will be reviewing this shortly.
Let's wait and see ;-)

ditto on upgrade policy. i was planning on keeping this around as part of my general ipod/iphone "toolbox" when i bought it last year.

but, 70% of the full purchase price, up to once a year, just to add compatibility with the latest itunes/iOS? no significant functionality changes, and my older version (3.41) is now completely broken, since it won't connect to any of my devices since i upgraded to itunes 10.

i don't mind paying for updates, but this is too much to make it worth planning on keeping it around. i'll look for something else.

I too am absolutely OUTRAGED! Not that they are charging for an upgrade, but rather the timeline of 1 year and the generous discount of 30% (NOT).

This policy and small discount for current owners has easily persuaded me to take my business elsewhere. There are numerous other applications to choose from. Developers like this will probably be pushed under by their competitors who actually care about their customers.

Compatibility with iTunes 10 only with a paid upgrade (my license is older than one year)?
No thanks!

Same here, registered but have never actually gotten it to work. Crashes every time. Holds a lot of promise but too unreliable (at least on my system) now to be of much use.

Does it import photos from an ipod?

I have not used this, but I don't think it transfers pictures from the iPod to the Mac. The developer sells another application called PicsAid for that purpose.

Seems like a promising app but crashes my computer every time I try to copy music off my iPhone.

I have to take issue with those who give one star rating because they have a crashing problem with an app. First of all, the above is a trouble ticket, not a review and as such, should not have been issued any star rating because it improperly skews the rating and is an abuse. Secondly, I would never blame an app for crashing unless it did it on more than one computer. The chance of some oddball software conflict is just too great to make an immediate assumption. I bought the app on a MacUpdate promo and have not used it a great deal but when I have used it, it has done what it promises to do.

Would be nice to have a way to put this on my iPod with registration information.

Hope that the developer could develop a secured erase data utility for the iPhone and iPod touch. It's a much needed utility.

If I'm not mistaken the iPod Touch can be made to show up as an external volume, correct? That would mean it definitely shows up in Disk Utility. Even if it can't be used in such a manner it still might.

Disk Utility has some heavy security features, including the ability to completely wipe a volume and "zero-out" everything a dozen or so times which would make any data unrecoverable.

iPod Touch cannot be used as an external drive, very unfortunate.

There are currently no troubleshooting comments. If you are experiencing a problem with this app, please post a comment.
