It is very common to here an iPhone user suffer the issue of space. This is always due to heavy phone usage for storage of movies, taking a lot of pictures and lots of music downloads – so every iPhone user wants to free up iPhone space. If you are looking to transfer photos from iPhone to mac (including other media files), you are in the right place.

In this day and age, it is necessary to store and backup your files in cases of low storage memory, loss of a phone or buying a new phone. Let’s also agree that upgrading to a new model iPhone with a completely new Operating System can task you to back up your files as well.

Clearly for iPhone X/8/7/6s users or later, iCloud’s free 5GB is not enough (unless you can afford more cloud space for a few dollars) so you must be able to transfer files to an external storage device. Many iPhone users run to iTunes to help them transfer files from their phones to their MacBooks, iMacs and vice-versa. This option comes with multiple limitations and drawbacks which in all ways makes iTunes not the perfect tool to sync iPhone to MacBook Air/Pro, iMac.

Best iTunes Alternative to Backup all your files

You need an iTunes alternative, and here are some of the many known limitations iTunes has as a Media Transfer option.

• To access your music from your iPhone through iTunes, you have to authorize your MacBook Air/Pro, BUT yet each apple ID can allow up to 5 computers.
• In case you sync your iPhone to MacBook pro/Air or iMac with iTunes, any file erased from the iPhone shall also be erased on the MacBook.

You could google your way through the Best iTunes alternatives to enable easy transfer of files from your iPhone to iMac or MacBook BUT there is no better option than MacX MediaTrans.
