If you’re an Apple fan, then this one is for you. Ever wondered which programs to install? Ever asked yourself what you should prioritise when it comes to using the available storage and memory you have? If you’re a little confused or having a hard time making a decision, don’t despair – there are plenty of solutions out there and all you have to do is take a little time to go through the ever-growing list. To help you along the way, here are the most popular software applications you can use for your Apple gadgets.
Senuti
If you like music, then this program is for you. Senuti won’t take up much space – in fact, it’s a small program – and allows you to transfer music from your iPod to your Mac. The program is actually so successful that the latest version to be offered as freeware is the 5.0 version. Simply select the songs you wish to transfer and then enjoy them on your Mac in the future.
Air Video server
Film lovers – you’re going to enjoy this one. With Air Video Server, you can transfer almost any film on the iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch. It works via Wi-Fi as well as UMTS. What’s truly great is that this solution automatically converts the format in case the iPad or iPhone cannot play it.
ATV USB Creator
If you want to create USB patch sticks for your Mac OS X, Windows or Linux, then this is the program for you. It works perfectly on Apple TV, and can be used for additional Apple software installation. There are also pre-built-in packages for Media Centre Programs.
Simple tagger
This little program uses Amazon’s database to allow you to tag MP3 files automatically. It can be used to search for artists or albums, or you can also use it to add information manually. The files are renamed based on the tags found.
Don’t forget: the items listed above are certainly not the end of the long list of programs and Apple and Mac software waiting to be downloaded – as a matter of fact, they are just the beginning. They are only the most popular, but they should get you started. What would you say about Cog (a media player alternative to iTunes), about Trailrunner (a street navigation and sports manager that allows you to get closer to endurance sports) or Tone-Foo (a program that allows you to create ringtones)? They’re all out there, ready for you to download, install, and enjoy. The perfect program for your needs is out there and you can even take advantage of free Mac software – you just need to look around and be bold enough to try them out!
