Mover Lite …transfer pics and contacts between iPhone, iPad and Mac

Mover Lite is the FREE version of Infinite Labs’ Mover+.1

The app runs on the iPhone, iPad or iPod touch and allows you to transfer contacts and photos between your iDevices over wifi. With a 99¢ add-on to the Lite app, you can also transfer those files to your desktop Mac running Mover Connect.

If you want to be able to transfer files between your devices when they’re not connected to wifi, Mover+ allows for connectivity and transfer over Bluetooth for $1.99.

I’ve found that the app runs very well between two devices, but can get a bit confused when you have three devices, like a Mac, an iPad and an iPhone, all connected as I show in the video. It works, but confusion is a possibility.

Mover has come in handy for me many times when I just wanted to transfer a photo and I don’t want to have to go through the trouble of emailing it to myself or some other such procedure.

As mentioned in the video, the iPad stand I’m using is the BookArc for iPad from Twelve South. It’s a nice sturdy metal stand that securely holds the iPad in either landscape or portrait2 orientations. It sells for around $45.

Get your Photos on the Web

There are a ton of tools to put pictures on the web, including iPhoto. This week, we’ll be looking at the best of the free photo-to-web tools.

mu Get your Photos on the Web WebAlbum

Here’s a free option to convert a folder of photos into a web site. While the interface is a little confusing, this app does let you customize your site with your own css styles or several provided with the application.

Though still in pre-release, this promising app gives you all kinds of options in a very comprehensive interface. Also, this utility is both OS 9 and OS X compatible.

This iPhoto plug-in adds additional control options when exporting web pages from iPhoto. This plug-in also lets you export presentations.

mu Get your Photos on the Web Galerie

This one is my personal favorite. Galerie can create web sites from selections in iPhoto and from a folder of photos. This app includes a progress bar and nice preview features.

Don’t let those vacation pictures collect proverbial dust on your system, get them out there and share them!

More free software next week,

iPod Access – Notes, Photos, Music and More

Apple has created an easy to use, closed system in its iPod+iTunes duo. But, what if you want to get at your iPod’s contents without using iTunes or iPhoto? With the following free downloads you’ll be able to access and extract music, photos and notes with no help from iLife applications.

iPod Notes

This new release is the best iPod notes manager I’ve seen yet. iPod Notes allows you to see your complete notes heirarchy and edit them right on the iPod.

And that’s only the beginning. The application also helps you create links to other notes, create notes and folders and sync your notes folder with your Mac.

Keith’s iPod Photo Reader

Keith has come up with a utility that previews the images on your iPod – not the full size copies it puts in the folder, the actual photos in the iPod’s database.

You can also extract photos as pict files – making this a great recovery tool if something goes wrong. Its a great tool for examining and extracting images from your iPod.

expod

There are a hundred solutions for pulling music off your iPod, but this is the newest.

expod is fast, and includes a search feature. Browse by playlist and send selected songs to a directory on your Mac. Simple and sweet.

todoPod

Eager to get tasks on your iPod? Of course once you ‘pod them, you’ll never remember to browse your notes to check you list. That’s why todoPod doesn’t use notes. Instead of adding your tasks as text, this free application converts your text to audio and sends it to your player.
