For many Apple and iOS and Mac users, iTunes can be quite complex, power hungry and very large, and so an alternative like the iTools for Mac program is a much welcomed addition to their download collection.

Overview of iTools for Mac

Having the iTunes software package for any Apple OS just makes your life a whole lot simpler, when it comes to managing iPods, Touches, tablets, and more. However, this program is rather large, eats up a lot of power, and can even be complex for many users. This is why so many are turning to iTools for a lighter, easier to use alternative. This program essentially does everything that iTunes does, only in a sleeker, smaller package that's more streamlined so it's far more user friendly and not nearly as processor intensive.

The iTools program was created by Thinksky and is available for the Mac and Mac OS X operating systems. It's actually a pretty small download, and it updates pretty regularly so you'll always have the current version. It's a free program to use and its program language is available only in English.

How iTools forMac Works

Although this is listed as a legitimate program that's created for your desktop Mac, it acts much more like a mobile app in how sleek and small it is. The idea here is to help you manage all of your Apple products: iPhone, Touch, iPod, Mac OS, etc. As an alternative to iTunes, one of the first things you may notice is the similarity of the layout when you launch. The only real difference is that iTools is not quite as busy as iTunes.

You may first notice that this software breaks down the Mac you're running: The model, the year, etc, so it syncs right up with your Mac, which is a good thing. This means it becomes far easier for you to manage all of your files, especially your media files. It will even keep track of your battery life for laptops.

iTools for Mac Features

Perhaps the coolest feature here is in the ability of iTools to quickly scan what you have saved on your computer so that you can easily import or export what you need, or simply play what you want without having to go through and drag everything around like with iTunes. This even includes photos, eBooks, message logs, and much more. It can scan and help you organize your entire Mac system.

Another cool feature for desktops is that this program will recognize them and help you to organize your remaining programs in subfolders and groups, so you can streamline your entire computing experience.
