Have any of you ever been in a situation where you needed to rescue your iTunes
library from your iPHone and put it back in your actual iTunes library or just
dump it on your Mac to decide what to do with it later? Ever take videos on
your iPhone and wish you had a painless way to not only get them off your phone
but manually and accessibly choose which ones you want? Well, I think I may
have found something for yuh.
>From time to time, this subject comes up here and some of us have tried
>Wondertunes, iTools, Imazing and others. Well, here's one that beats them
>all. It's called Anytrans. You can get it here:
www.imobie.com/anytrans
It's a pay for solution with a trial version. The trial version lasts for
seven days and then you have to buy it. So, how much is it? Normally, it
costs $59.95 per single Mac license. The family license costs $99.99 and I
forget how many Macs that will let you run.
The idea is like you've known before from other apps of this type: namely, you
have to connect your iDevice via USB cable to your Mac.
One of the first things you will notice when you launch Anytrans is the fact
that iTunes will open in the background. That's normal so that Anytrans can
make sure that file tagging is in tackt when you do file transfers. Most of
the buttons are labeled but in a strange way. The labels for most of the
buttons are in the form of help tags. So, you might want to have your help
tags turned on for this app as without help tags on, you're going to be
pressing VO+shift+h a fair amount of the time. There are only a few unlabeled
buttons but these are near the search edit box and some experimenting will
reveal what they do. Anytrans will always want a minute or so to collect data
from your mobile device before you can begin.
To actuallly begin device management using the app, you'll want to pay
attention to the buttons down near the bottom right hand corner of the screen.
It's these controls, (which are correctly labled by the way) which tell
Anytrans what kind of things you want to manage. For example, let's say you've
got some great home movies you just took and need to get this stuff moved over
to your Mac. Well, you press the video button. Now, You will notice that
close to the bottom right hand of the screen is a series of specific types of
video. The one you want to press is the "photo videos" button. You might
think you press the "home videos" button, but, believe it or not, no. Okay.
Once you've pressed the photo videos button, you want to move right down to the
bottom right. Here, you will note a table which contains all your videos. You
select in the normal way using the standard selection procedures with which you
are already familiar. Now, you go to the left and press the button that
pertains to the function you want performed, (copy to Mac) for example. Press
this button. Now, it takes a little while, but it gets done.
It's not perfect. First letter navigation is not possible in the file
selection table. Also, the process window is very slugish. Anyhow, I hope
y'all have found this useful.
