Leawo iTransfer is a Windows desktop program for moving and managing files on an iPhone, iPad or iPod. It connects the device’s libraries with files on the computer and in iTunes, letting you copy selected music, photos, videos and other supported data in either direction. Transfers between two connected Apple devices also pass through the computer.
The program is paid software with a time-limited trial. Annual and lifetime licenses are available for one computer, and a separate Mac edition is offered.
Leawo iTransfer’s library view
After a device connects by USB, Leawo iTransfer displays its name, libraries and playlists in the sidebar. Selecting a library brings that category’s contents into the main pane. Music, movies, TV shows, ringtones, books, photos and Camera Roll have their own categories, alongside personal records such as contacts and messages. Supported file types include MP3 and M4A music and PDF and ePub books.
The library view helps choose what will move. A partial or complete filename filters the displayed items, while cover and list views provide thumbnails or file details. Music, photos and videos can be previewed before transfer. You can select individual entries, a group of entries or the whole category; a separate Delete control removes selected files from the device.
Copying between the PC, iTunes and devices
Adding content from the computer starts in the destination device’s library. Add File accepts individual files, while Add Folder brings in files from a folder of that category.
For the reverse direction, Leawo iTransfer exports selected device files to a folder on the computer. The transfer dialog lets you choose that output folder before copying begins.
iTunes appears as a separate library source within Leawo iTransfer. Its songs, movies, TV shows, books and ringtones can be selected and sent to a connected device. With two devices attached, the source device’s library supplies the selection and the transfer dialog identifies the receiving device. The destination choice is part of each transfer, so moving a few files does not require selecting an entire collection.
Playlists
Leawo iTransfer also works with playlists on the device and in iTunes. Selecting a playlist displays its songs, where you can add tracks from the computer or bring songs over from the Music Library. Named lists can be created, renamed or deleted, and individual songs can be removed from a playlist.
Playlist operations include import and export controls. You can also select songs within a playlist and save those tracks to a computer folder through the transfer dialog.
Contacts, messages, bookmarks and notes
Contact management extends beyond moving a media file. Leawo iTransfer can create and edit contact records, arrange contacts in groups, and back them up or restore them. It imports contacts from Gmail and exports them as CSV or VCF files, producing a separate address-book file for use outside the device.
Text messages, bookmarks and notes have their own management functions. These records can be imported from the computer or exported for safekeeping, with controls for adding, editing and grouping entries. They remain distinct from the music and photo libraries when browsing the device’s contents.
USB Storage
The USB Storage library uses available space on the device to hold general files. Its Add control copies files from the computer, and New Folder organizes that storage into directories. This area accepts file types that the device itself does not support, allowing the device to carry files separately from its playable music, viewable photos and other media libraries. Capacity is limited by the storage space available on the device.
