The wonderful thing about this app, is that by just slightly altering a few stings of code, you can modify TuneTech for iPod so that it works on not only iPods, but also on Palm Pilots, old Newtons, misc other PDAs, some cell phones, GPS devices, wireless IR remotes, and even electronic clock radios. I have tried TuneTech on various devices, and found that it improves their performance and reliability. It's not only good for iPods. My electronic clock radio, for instance never worked this well before. When you take this into consideration, imo it would be a bargain even at twice the price.
Does this work on iPod Nano? - Version: 1.0.1, 2/7/2006 10:38AM PST

I have tried it on 2 different macs and my nano is not recognized by this software?
Yes, I have "disk use" enabled

Most of the features in this utility are available via standard Mac OS X tools or basic common sense. Backup: for most users, contents of the iPod are a backup, of iTunes files. Optimize: useless if you mainly shuffle or if you like to skip songs. Repair: just restore from the iPod updater and transfer your music again, $0. Undelete: a nice feature but you might as well just rip the song again, or re-download, $0. Shred: can't Disk Utility do this? $0. Duplicate: what's the point of this? Transfer from iTunes the same set of songs that are on the old iPod, which presumably it is already set up to do, or would require minimal effort to set up. $0. Scan: might be worth it, though if you have defects you're pretty much hosed, and your music files should already be backed up somewhere else anyway (i.e., iTunes or the original source). Info: no idea what this would be good for. Some people may want all these tools in one place, but since they'd basically only be paying for them all being in the same place (rather than spread out in OS X), there is no way this is worth $59. And to the respondent who said that $59 is a reduced price (off DriveGenius)... ouch.
Selling the Same thing twice? - Version: 1.0, 9/12/2005 01:28PM PST

It looks to me like they are doing the same thing as Micromat. Selling their primary diagnotic software and reselling an "iPod only" version. You can use their Drive Genius software to do most if not all of the things that this app can do to your iPod. Micromat is doing the same thing with TechTool Pro and PodLock. I feel that this makes ProSoft Eng. look rather greedy presonally. How about a significant discount for the Drive Genius users? It clearly has little value for them compared with a non DG customer. I'm a not a DG user and that's because of the iffy feedback I've seen here. I can tell you that their Data Rescue is a great product though. You decide, but I find it rather insulting when companies try to sell me the same thing twice.

<br><br>DiskWarrior and Disk Utility report no problems whatsoever, and this is all on a freshly restored iPod using iTunes (latest version). I am still waiting for a response from their tech support, but for a $60 program to maintain an iPod, this is pretty sketchy behavior.
