A Drove of Recent Updates

Tue, 25 Oct 2011 01:43:33 -0500

In the past few weeks we've seen Apple release iTunes 10.5, iOS 5 and the new iPhone 4S. Not long before those updates, they also released OS X 10.7, Lion. So basically, they changed everything. Not surprisingly, these changes put a few kinks in some of our programs while we scrambled to update them. Now, we're happy to report, after tons of updates across the board, everything is back on track and all of our programs should now work with Apple's recent drove of updates.

With that said, please make sure you're using the most recent version of our programs. All of our programs have auto-updaters built-in, but looking at the crash reports that have been submitted lately, it seems some of you may be skipping these updates and thus stuck using a version that is incompatible with Apple's recent changes. Please make sure you're up to date. If you're not sure, then please redownload the program from our webpage and reinstall it.

Here is the list of our programs for which our recent updates are most important.

Safari for Windows Installs a Bad DLL

Thu, 11 Aug 2011 17:30:49 -0500

The Windows versions of iPhone Explorer and Phone Disk rely upon a few DLLs created by Apple and typically installed with iTunes. A recent update to Safari for Windows installs a new CoreFoundation.dll which, when certain functions are called by iPhone Explorer or Phone Disk, result in a crash as a result of a debugging user-breakpoint left in by the developers at Apple. Because this DLL is shared between various other Apple programs, it's very difficult to revert back to the previous verion of the DLL.

If you've already installed the Safari update, then iPhone Explorer and Phone Disk aren't going to be able to access the app directories until Apple gets around to updating that DLL again. If you haven't yet installed the updated Safari for Windows, than we recommend waiting a couple months for the next version which will hopefully be more stable.

Building a conversion utility that is user friendly, powerful and loaded with features has been one of the biggest challenges for us in the development of Adapter. Between the last release of Adapter (Mac) and this one, we've completely overhauled the user interface about three times and rewrote the vast majority of the back-end code. And now, today, we are happy to introduce to you the ultimate image, audio and video converter.

We've added many new features including time cropping, a crash reporter, custom resolution settings, custom output quailty settings but the crown jewel is the new flash video downloader. Adapter now comes with a an easy to use web browser and anytime it sees a flash video or audio file, it automatically downloads it. You can then right-click the flash file and send it for conversion to an audio or video file which can then be imported to iTunes or sent elsewhere.

This new update of Adapter is loaded with new features and functionality and we believe that it may now well be the best media converter available for Mac. But, with that said, we're not stopping yet so keep checking for updates and keep sending us feedback!

(And, yea. It's still 100% freeware).

The lifehacker.com stress test

Thu, 11 Nov 2010 11:48:35 -0600

Lifehacker.com is great. They're write interesting stuff, they've got a huge following and they're one of the most respected blogs in the world . Around April last year, with an article about Pod to Mac they helped us discovered that when web hosting companies say "unlimited file transfer," what they mean to say is "unlimited file transfer, just not all at once." With the visitors sent from that article, combined with our steadily growing fan base, our servers were pushed beyond "unlimited." Shortly thereafter, we upgraded to a pricey new Virtual Private Server (VPS) and this VPS handled the punches beautifully for over a year.

Last Tuesday LH and the Phone Disk fans caught our servers on fire, again. We had over 40,000 visitors, 6 hours of downtime and a bottle of Champaign to celebrate. We love our visitors and don't want to keep them waiting so this weekend we upgraded our servers again. Having effectively doubled our site's capacity (and server expenses), we're hoping that this upgrade will hold steady for the next year.

With that said, behind the scenes we're quietly working crazy hours on two awesome new programs and hopefully they will light up our servers like never seen before. Combined, we've already spent over 10,000 hours working on these secrete projects. Now we're wrapping things up so be ready in mid-December and Q1 2011 for the release of these awesome new apps.

Oops. I included the old 0.99 version of iPhone Explorer in the setup file for the new iPhone Explorer 2.001 earlier this morning. If you downloaded iPhone Explorer 2.0 earlier today, I'd recommending reinstalling it as this time the installer contains the real-deal.

iPhone Explorer 2 has arrived!

Thu, 24 Jun 2010 05:43:41 -0500

We are excited to annouce iPhone Explorer 2.0 for Windows! Major changes include:
(1) you can now access app directories (including the system files of apps)
(2) complete overhaul of UI
(3) multiple device connectivity is now allowed

This is hugely awesome for many reasons including the fact that you can now transfer files extremely quickly via USB directly into and from your apps without using iTunes. Furthermore, for the more curious, have you ever wanted to customize a video game? Well, now you can! For example, we opened up the game Field Runners, browsed around for a while and made some changes. Now I can play a level of field runners that looks like my backyard and the enemies look like my cat :-)
And btw, it's still freeware!

Pod to Mac 3.303 adds various bug fixes.

Dupe Away Initial Release!!

Thu, 22 Apr 2010 00:00:00 -0500

When you spend a lot of time testing out iPod transfer software, or if you're trying to combine two music collections you can end up with with a pretty disorganized iTunes Library. When the clutter of music reaches hundreds, or thousands, of dupes, you need a program to help get rid of it - and that's what Dupe Away is. Dupe away is a small, single purpose program; it seeks and destroys duplicate tracks from iTunes. In the free download version of it users get a 100% free analysis of their library to see if they have any duplicates or tracks without locations. After the analysis, the instant delete feature can be unlocked for $7.99. Dupe away is available for Mac OSX 10.5 and 10.6. It requires iTunes.

If you take a look at the updated preference menu, you'll now see a new option that allows for transferred images to be displayed directly in the device's picture albums.

Pod Photo Transfer version 3.030

Mon, 18 Jan 2010 18:15:24 -0600

The latest release of Pod Photo Transfer should resolve a bug that some iTouch or iPhone users were encountering as a result of recent changes made Apple to the iPod databases.

iPhone Explorer 0.990 released

Mon, 18 Jan 2010 00:00:00 -0600

The latest release of iPhone Explorer focused on rewriting the drag-and-drop code for transferring files from the iPod or iPhone to the file system. We home that this resolves a bug that some Windows 7 users were having which prevented them from from successfully transferring files. If the problem presists with the new version, please e-mail us and let us know.

Pod to PC 3.213

Thu, 14 Jan 2010 00:00:00 -0600

This version improves many little things, ranging from subtle icon changes, to a redesigned splash screen to adjusting the file names of images that are transferred. The busy indicator at the bottom has had its functionality restored and the quick-reference guide has also been updated to included comments about the new picture transfer feature in Pod to PC.

Pod to Mac - 3.205

Thu, 07 Jan 2010 00:00:00 -0600

After receiving a few more Photo Database files from Pod to Mac fans out there, we have modified our Photo Database parser again to broaden its compatibility. Various other minor changes have been made as well.

Pod to Mac - 3.204

Wed, 06 Jan 2010 00:00:00 -0600

We have been working hard on the Pod to Mac parser algorithm for the photo database. As a comment, I would like to state that technically, hacking this database is a lot tougher than the music database. In contrast to the music databases, the picture database is designed such that not only does every iPod have a unique image format, but there are even multiple image formats for the same iPod models depending on which firmware you are using.

With this release of Pod to Mac we have knocked out more bugs from the photo database parser. Additionally we streamlined the loading of the iTunes Music Library.xml file which has increased program load times by roughly 10 seconds for every 1,000 tracks you have in iTunes.

Pod to Mac - 3.203

Tue, 05 Jan 2010 10:56:16 -0600

Pod to Mac 3.203 resolves various bugs. :-)

Pod to Mac 3.202

Wed, 30 Dec 2009 00:00:00 -0600

Our previous Pod to Mac 3.201 release last week was essentially a complete rewrite of the software to make the software more scalable and polished in the long run. That 3.201 release brought with in many new features and much redesigned interface, but as with all new software there were a few new notable bugs. Our focus with this latest 3.202 release was to resolve those issues and refine the program. The most notable new feature to Pod to Mac is the picture transfer which currently supports iPhones and iTouches (support for the other models is coming soon). We have also added a greatly expanded preferences menu, category playlists, multiple device support, iPod device info display, and sortable columns and much more.

Pd to PC 3.205

Wed, 23 Dec 2009 16:56:00 -0600

Pod to PC 3.2 is a major update to Pod to PC which includes redesigning much of the back-end functionality and adding several important new features. Some of the new features introduced include picture transfer from your iPod to your computer (drag and drop enabled). Also, Pod to PC now also supports the simultaneous use of multiple iPods. For those of you who will be bringing in the new year with a new computer, there is no easier way to move your iTunes media content over than with Pod to PC.

Pod to PC 3.106

Sun, 13 Dec 2009 05:14:00 -0600

There is a new dialog window that can be displayed to reveal track details and album artwork for your music . The automatic transfer has been greatly improved and now allows for you to select which playlists to build so you can get your music library fully recovered just the way you want it.

Blackra1n / iPhone Explorer issue resolved

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 00:00:00 -0600

If you want to access the "real" root using iPhone Explorer and you have jail broken your iPhone using Blackra1n you must download and install "afc2add" from Cydia. This will then resolve the issue. Thank you Pablo S. for the tip.

iPhone Apps in the "App Store" with USB transfer will very soon become extinct

Sat, 07 Nov 2009 00:00:00 -0600

A few short months ago we set out on a mission to bring USB transfer to the iPhone apps in the App Store. Having brought USB transfer support to dozens of apps, and then watching many of these apps top the charts throughout the App Store, it is clear that we succeeded. It is now with great sadness and disappointment that I bring you the news that our USB transfer support for these App Store apps will soon end. We have recently discovered that our current means by which we enable iPhone apps to gain USB access puts these apps in violation of the App Store rules. To avoid the boot, over the course of the next several days, App Store apps with USB access may release updates that remove this privilege. If you currently own an app with USB transfer, and USB transfer is important to you, then we strongly suggest that you use caution the next time that you see an update available for that app. If you do not currently own an app with USB access, now would be a great time to consider buying one of these as they may soon make your iPhone a collector's item. Additionally, in the upcoming days we will be modifying our website iphone-explorer.com to reflect these changes and, as such, the app integration pages will be disappearing. Also, for clarity, myPod Apps does not have any programs itself in the App Store so all of our software (including iPhone Explorer) will remain essentially unchanged. If you are iPhone App developer who just submitted an update, and you see a orange/yellow dot next to your app's status, with the message "Waiting for Export Compliance" this may be a result of the newly apparently stance on USB transfer. If you have any other general or specific questions pertaining to this issue please feel free to contact us at mypodapps@gmail.com.

Congrats to Comic Zeal!

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 00:00:00 -0600

Comic Zeal by Bitolithic made it into the "What's Hot" listing on the front page of iTunes! With 80,000 apps and Good Reader being listed last week as "What's Hot"... Does this pattern suggest something about the value of adding USB transfer into an app?

Congrats to GoodiWare

Thu, 29 Oct 2009 02:48:00 -0500

Good Reader has now been listed as "What's Hot" in the iTunes App Store's front page. Additionally, the app has climbed to #1 in productivity and it is in the top #50 and climbing overall. It must be the new icon ;-)

iPhone Explorer (PC) version 0.973

Thu, 29 Oct 2009 02:24:00 -0500

Support for the apps ComicZeal, iDownload, iTouch Midi, Image Viewer, Notebooks and Mobile Noter has been added

iPhone Explorer App Integration Pages

Thu, 15 Oct 2009 19:00:00 -0500

With the release of the updated version of iPhone Explorer comes the creation of our new app integration pages. While there are currently 8 apps listed, more are coming and some of the apps themselves still require updating on behalf of the iPhone App developers before they can fully take advantage of the USB support. It takes about 2 weeks before updates are approved for apps in the App store, so for some of these apps it may be 2-3 weeks before they are fully USB compatible. To use USB syncing with an app in iPhone Explorer, go the the "Change Root" menu, then select "Edit" next to a custom root that you want to change.

Pod Photo Transfer - Site Redesigned

Thu, 15 Oct 2009 18:45:00 -0500

The current webpage for the reviews is iphone-explorer.com/reviews/reviews.php. Soon this will be available from all the myPod Apps domains. We have listed some publications there already (some minor edits need to be made to these and many more will come).

iPhone Explorer PC, Mac and Website updates

Thu, 15 Oct 2009 18:45:00 -0500

The iPhone Explorer updates which introduce app "syncing" are finally here for both Mac and PC. The version number issue (discussed in the last two posts) has finally been resolved, so this time the Windows progam when downloaded will be the updated version. If you use "Black Rain" to jailbreak your iPhones with 3.1 firmware - please be patient. Apparently you do will not yet have "real root" access in iPhone Explorer with this update. We hope to have this resolved soon. The site and logos have also been 100% redesigned. Please send feedback to mypodapps@gmail.com.

The new page is not yet compatible with Internet Explorer 6.0, but it should work fine for all other browsers.

These updates will come soon for the mac version and check back shortly for a completely redeigned iPhone Explorer home page.

itDJ (Mac) 0.9.5 (Beta-Release)

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 -0600

Big addition: Playback Recorder. It's under Tools in the menu bar. Set the file name, choose a sample rate, and hit record. You can also have it automatically stop after a given number of minutes, or choose to have it split into multiple files. Currently supports wav, aac, ogg, and flac (mp3, m4a, etc. coming soon). About a 20% reduction in CPU usage. "Beat" button. If you aren't happy with the automatically detected beat marks for a track, then start it playing. Tap the Beat button to each beat (quarter notes, eighth notes, whatever works for you), and the whole track's beats will be updated to match. Some visual improvements. Pan knob (next to the hi/mid/lo knobs). Several bugs fixed, including a few crash bugs.

itDJ (Mac) 0.9.4 (Beta-Release)

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 -0600

Another step towards itDJ 1.0. Big addition here: Snippit Maker! Go to Tools->Snippit Maker. Drag tracks from your library, set effects, the select and grab a piece (or two or 100). Play around with the options. When you're done, you can save as a WAV, OGG, or FLAC (MP3 etc. support coming soon). By the way, this is one of those things that will see many, many improvements over time, both before and after 1.0, so send your comments our way. Also, beat positions are saved after the first time, so tracks will finish reloading much faster.
