However, Pod to Mac Is Out of Date At Present

After changing its name to Phone to PC, and then iExplorer, Pod to Mac is a program that has been stopped updating for three years. When you try to visit Pod to Mac official site, it will redirect you to the current iExplorer. The Pod to Mac v4 has been reviewed by Sam Costello from about.com:

• Occasional crashes during transfers
• Doesn't move star ratings by default
• Can't move iBooks
• Transfer of other data (address book, etc.) very buggy
• Some transfer options don't seem to work
