TouchCopy 12.1

TouchCopy for Mac offers all the features you would expect from an iPod and iPhone manager - users can copy music, playlists, podcasts, album art, ratings and play counts from their iPod or iPhone to their Mac hard drive, or directly into iTunes.

There is also a search facility, which can save music to a computer or transfer it into iTunes as a playlist and a backup option, enabling users to save all their iPod music, movies and playlists at the touch of a button.

Music and video can even be played through a computer without the need to have iTunes installed.

Standard features aside, TouchCopy also has some neat unique features, like the ability to use the iPod Touch or iPhone as an external disk drive and copying of iPhone SMS.

The software also enables iPod and iPhone photos and videos to be viewed and copied to a computer.

Gaming fans will be delighted with the ability to save games from the iPod to a computer or directly back into the iTunes library.

Those who like to combine work with leisure will find the capability to manage and copy iPod and iPhone notes, contacts, calendars and voice memos useful too.

TouchCopy works with all iPod and iPhone devices, including the iPhone 5 and is compatible with Mac OSX versions 10.7 and 10.8.

TouchCopy is available as a free trial download, allowing up to 100 iPod songs or videos to be copied.

The full version of the software costs $29.99, giving access to all functionality, free customer support and a lifetime of free software updates.
