Go beyond basic iPhone browsing with iDevice Manager. This powerful tool offers direct file system access, custom MP3 ringtone creation, SMS message viewing, and music playback. It also provides a multitude of other useful functions, setting it apart from competitors like iExplorer and iPhone Browser.
With the iDevice Manager, you can access the file system of your iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch. You can also download and upload files via USB connection, regardless of the file format. This function allows you to use your iPhone/iPad/iPod as an ‘external drive'.
The program provides direct access to photo, email, SMS, and video directories on iPhones. This makes it easy to copy images, emails, SMS messages, videos, and other files to your computer. The same functionality is available for videos, music (from the iPod app), and ringtones.
One of the highlights of the iDevice Manager is its ability to create custom ringtones for the iPhone. With the comfortable ringtone editor, you can use MP3, WAV, AIFF, and M4A audio file formats. The ringtone editor can cut with millisecond accuracy. However, the song length is not limited to 32 seconds with iTunes.
Once created, assigning your custom ringtone to a contact is a breeze. The iDevice Manager provides a solution for assigning a tone to multiple contacts. Select your preferred ringtone, choose the contacts you want to assign it to, and click the “Save” button. The same process applies to SMS tones. Additionally, iDevice Manager lets you edit and export contacts as vCard files.
