It is still not showing my photos in the photo browser section, or the address book contacts. However if i go into the backup explorer i can navigate to contents like the photos and export them out. But I should not have to. It is still not 100% working properly on iOS5.

First 4.3.0.4 is now current MacUpdate says .02. Second, Macroplant advised me today that it is not totally compatible with iOS5, that they are working on it and to expect new releases shortly. Until then, I would advise NOT to purchase until reviewers report all is working with iOS5. As of this version, I can report that data such as Address Book, Calendar, Call History, Notes, Safari, SMS, Voice Mail (under iTunes Archives) are not read by Phone to Mac (even though they are in plain site in Library>Application Support>MobileSync>Backup. Also, Phone to Mac currently displays the backup create dates, not the modified date (as expected). So it is reading the folders in their proper place. It is NOT reading the contents. Macroplant has a 30 day refund policy, so if buying you risk not getting a fix before refund time runs out. Suggest you wait. Furthermore, I bought with the MacUpdate promo. By their terms NO REFUND IS POSSIBLE. If you buy the promo, you are taking a risk what the necessary fixes will not arrive. One commendation to Macroplant's Josh and Eli. They came on the phone without delay, were pleasant and as helpful as possible. This indicates that Phone to Mac has good support. Give them five starts for that at least.

Has potential. Bought it on sale at macupdate. IOS5 support came in but my TV shows are bundled together with the Movies and there are no TV shows showing. Also, I have a lot more TV shows and movies than what it is showing. Music part seems to be working fine. Also, the speed is very slow. I have 12 photos and it took a long time to show them. I clicked on preview and it opened it up but the app hung when tried to close the preview window

Current release is Intel-only. Going to contact the developer to request that a Universal / PPC-compatible version be made available.

Moxiesozo,
Version 2.1.0.2, available on our downloads page (http://www.macroplant.com/downloads.php) should be PPC compatible. As of Xcode 4.1 and OSX 10.7, it's now nearly impossible for us to build a universal binary, so going forward we've discontinued PPC development.

Macroplant, Llc (developer) replied on 27 Sep 2011

Ooops. I confused Pod to Mac and our other program, iExplorer.

Well, looking at this now, it looks like our PPC build for Pod to Mac may have gotten lost in the abyss. I'll see if I can dig something up later this week.

swagstaff replied on 28 Oct 2011

I landed here after googling "ppc pod to mac". Macroplant download page offers Phone to Mac 4.2.0.9 as "PPC Compatible," but it's Intel-only. Support said, "Too bad; Intel-only now." Hoping this message might stir up an older PPC version for download.

Check for updates from within the app never seems to work, I always end up downloading updates manually.

Apart from that this app works like it says. Recommended.

I was simply clicking on the number of how many reviews have been made to view the reviews and accidentally clicked the stars...These stars in no way reflect my opinion about the software. Maybe MacUpdate should look into changing the ease of rating or add an undo.

Great program, worth registering for the auto-recover feature alone. Made transferring my music from my iPod to my iMac very easy and did so faster than other programs I tried.

Recommended.

Being a cheap sort of person, I am naturally a little disappointed that the program has moved from freeware to shareware; however, the price is reasonable, important new features have been added (picture transfer etc), and more are promised.

The program is clearly well supported, the older FREE version is still available (and as far as I can tell still works), the current (shareware) version still has the same functionality as the old version for "free" (must suffer through a one-minute ad nag), and again -- for what you are getting -- the price is reasonable. Unlike Senuti, who TRICKED their users into upgrading to a crippled version, this transition to shareware is more properly handled.

Ten bucks for a great tool that could really save your bacon someday. Compared to the work you would need to do to reconstruct what you lost. Think about it, particularly in light of the active development.

Twenty dollars now, for a one-computer/single user license. Forty dollars to use it with 2-4 Macs, or by more than one user.

Even iTunes allows their old DRM-protected music to play on up to five authorized computers. (I have more than five Macs already.) Pod to Mac can be used with unlimited iPods. (I only have three iPods.) For someone like me, who likes to use one larger iPod (60GB iPod Photo) to transfer music to several Macs, Pod to Mac doesn't make sense. For someone with one Mac and a dozen iPods, or someone who wants to transfer music from other people's iPods to their lone Mac the license limitations might not matter. Reading your review, I was almost sold on Pod to Mac for ten dollars. But lots of similar applications are available for twenty dollars. (And of course, some for free.) I'll keep looking...

Either way it's worth the money when you need it.

Needs work, does not get the job done. Gets slower and slower, eventually becoming an unresponsive program. same problem on two comps (imac, mac mini) one of which was just out of the box. Gives error message saying itunes is taking too long to respond.
