Transfer Data from your iPhone with PhoneView

iTunes is not a particularly easy tool to extract important files off of your iPhone and on to your computer. If your hard drive dies and you have all of your data on your iPhone, the only thing iTunes allows you too take is your purchased items. Pictures, Contacts, Call logs, and Notes are lost in the transition. With PhoneView by Ecamm Network, you can simply and easily recover all of you important information.

You may be thinking to yourself, “I have all of my data backed up!” That is great, but if there is a power surge while at work or school and your data gets fried at home with your backup devise plugged in, you have no way to get all of your precious data back unless it’s through jailbreaking.

PhoneView is very simple and has very good integration with Mac OS X’s key applications such as sending contacts straight to Address Book, photos to iPhoto, music to iTunes, or notes to Mail. With PhoneView’s very clean interface, it is easy to get what you want done, and fast.

With PhoneView, you are able to drag and drop files onto your iPhone and use the phone in disk mode while still being able to listen to all of your music and view your photos. You can make folders and import almost any kind of file format. You can convert some file formats so that they will be readable in notes but with some formats you cannot see the files on the actually iPhone. If you are transferring your files to another computer, they must also have PhoneView on their computer.

PhoneView has an interface all Mac users are familiar with because it is very similar to Leopard’s Finder. With navigation tabs on the right and OS X’s classic columns, finding exactly what you want is a breeze. One problem with PhoneView is that some of the items take a while for PhoneView to find, such as contacts and notes. For all of you iPod Touch users, don’t get discouraged. PhoneView is compatible with iPod Touches. PhoneView is not, however, compatible with all other iPods (i.e. iPod classics, iPod Nanos, and iPod Shuffles).

PhoneView requires Mac OS 10.4.11 (Tiger) or later and iTunes 7.3 (current is 8.1) or later. PhoneVeiw costs $19.95 which is all small price to pay for everything important to you.
