It is undeniable that the official methods offered by Apple to manage files stored on iOS devices are limited.
The main one that has been with us for a very long time is iTunes. This software, which is now macOS but still available on Windows, is loved and hated in the same way. Of course, it can be very helpful to keep the music collection organized and paired with an iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch, but at the moment it has a very annoying edge.
The most important limitation is that the iOS app can only be integrated with one iTunes library. This makes it easy to transfer music from one computer to another via iDevice and also does not allow syncing music in case you are working with more than one computer.
But not limited to music files. Apple does not offer simple solutions for syncing photos, backing up specific devices, or fixing iOS when there are problems.
Fortunately for the market there are tools that fill all these shortcomings and make managing files stored on an iOS device much easier and today I want to talk about one of the best options for it: Tenorshare CareFone.
Key features of ICareFone
The best way to understand what CareFone is able to say about its key features and how they are used, even though their operating system is quite accurate, as you can see in the following lines.
1.- File management
If you like to have your music locally and also want to easily manage photos and videos on your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch, this function will be very useful for you.
With it you can bypass music, photos, videos, contacts, messages, books, bookmarks and other content in an easy way and, as I mentioned earlier, avoiding all iTunes limitations.
You can select audio or video files on your computer and transfer them to an iOS device, in addition to being able to perform the same function in another case, that is, from PC to PC or Mac. Without forgetting, that you can do this on as many computers as you need, it doesn't matter if the device was previously synced to another computer or not.
To better understand performance, it is best to show an example of the steps to follow. This is a must if you want to transfer music from a computer to an iOS device or vice versa.
1. Connect Device to computer with USB cable and launch CareFone.
2. Click on the Manage tab and select the file type you want to manage (in this case, the audio).
3. You now have two options. If you want to transfer songs from an iOS device to a computer, you must select the songs and then click Export and select the computer folder you want to save to. Or, if you want to transfer music from a computer to an iOS device, you have to click Import, choose between selecting files or a folder and selecting the files or folder of music you want to import.
Easy, don't you think? With these simple steps all music will be transferred from one device to another. The waiting time will depend on the number of songs and the weight of the original files, though in any case the transfer speed is usually too high.
2.- Backup and restoration
One of the strengths of iCareFone is the power of backup and restore function.
Thanks to this function you will be able to choose what kind of files you want to backup or restore and execute easily. And in this case you can access the files directly from your computer, as they won't be the same file that's difficult to handle as it is with iTunes.
The steps to follow to back up iCareFone are much simpler than those shown in the previous section. In particular you must do the following:
1. Connect your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch to computer with USB cable and introduce the software.
2. Click Backup & Restore and select the Backup & Restore Device option.
3. Select the types of content you want to back up. Select the folder where the backup will be stored and then click Copy.
After taking these steps you just need to verify your iOS device's security code and wait for the backup process to complete in a matter of minutes.
Without a doubt the most useful option is to save a local copy of your mobile devices files.
3.- WhatsApp Transfer
This function may not be practical every day, but it is very powerful when changing your phone.
Basically this WhatsApp messaging function allows you to transfer WhatsApp messages from iPhone to Android and vice versa. This includes not only transmitting text messages, but also attachments such as pictures, videos, voice memos, or other file types.
Of course this can be done with the support of WhatsApp backup itself, but this has several problems. The first exception is that the backup size is limited by the capacity it has on iCloud, but it's also important to say that it's not possible to backup to an iPhone and restore it to Android or vice versa, this function is only available between devices with the same operating system.
That is why the WhatsApp transfer function compiled by iCareFone can be very helpful when converting a device. In addition, like other software components, its functionality is much simpler. Basically you should do the following:
1. Connect the newest new device to the computer via their USB cables.
2. Launch CareFone and click on the Social App Transfer tab and select WhatsApp Transfer.
3. Check that the old device appears in the Source section (otherwise, click the icon with the two arrows you will see in the center of the screen).
Click Transfer.
Once you have done this, the process will complete automatically in a few minutes. All conversations and attachments will be on both devices, however they will continue to be updated with new messages on the device the WhatsApp account is working on.
4.- Optimization of iOS application
The last major function of the program is also very useful and also something that Apple has not officially provided in any way.
This is an iOS system configuration feature. Because of it, CareFone can solve some problems with the app without the need to restore the phone to its factory status (which would be Apple's official recommendation).
This function is very useful if you find that your device has strange behavior. For example, when apps shut down suddenly, when the screen goes black, when you see that battery usage is too high, etc., etc.
To access this function and perform the automated debugging process for any iOS device, you must do the following:
1. Connect your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch to computer with USB cable and introduce CareFone.
2. Click on the Tools toolbar and select iOS System Configuration. Then click Adjust to a new window to display.
3. Click Download so that the software can download the iOS installation file from Apple's servers.
4. When the download is complete, click Repair and the process will begin.
In this simple way, CareFone will be able to detect errors in the operating system and fix it without the need to restore the factory to its factory state. In addition, the software will use the opportunity to update iDevice in the latest version of the operating system.
