Breaking free from the closed-in world of Apple is easy if you have the right tools. CopyTrans Drivers Installer is a good first step toward unlocking more of your Apple gadget's potential without jailbreaking it. It gives you the right tools to start using third-party downloads with your iPod, iPhone, or iPad.
Upon downloading the ZIP file you will be given two options for installing this software: automatic and manual, which is for advanced users. If you have iTunes already installed you will get an error message. Keep in mind that once you go down the road of third-party software, you'll have to leave iTunes behind, at least temporarily. Outside of that, CopyTrans Drivers Installer makes perfect sense. It is a great alternative software for all of your Apple gadgets and is built to work and communicate with them without much difficulty or many hiccups. It is very automated and easy to use software with a clean and user-friendly interface.
For anyone ready to make the jump outside of Apple's preferred marketplace, CopyTrans Drivers Installer will make the transition incredibly easy. It's only unfortunate that you have to lose iTunes to use this software, but it makes sense. If you were happy with iTunes, you wouldn't be searching for other options.

"Worked good till last update"
Version: CopyTrans Drivers Installer 1.018
Pros
works like its suppose to. did some editing and saving and worked ok.
Cons
i paid for this program. last time i went to use it it gave me two choices. yes or no to update. i picked no and the program shut down. what did i pay for? i tried it again and this time picked yes. this time it downloaded and then locked up? why pay again if it doesn't even work??
Summary
i'll start looking for a different program that works for a decent trail period before buying again. won't be copy trans.

Had to uninstall iTunes first

"Another great CopyTrans project."
Version: CopyTrans Drivers Installer 1.013
Pros
Got a new computer. Didn't want to fill it up with iTunes garbage. This installed everything I need to use CoyyTrans and CopyTrans Manager without iTunes. Finally! They should sell this product when you buy an iPhone!
Cons
None whatsoever.

"My iPod Touch is now recognized thanks to this program"
Version: CopyTrans Drivers Installer 1.008
Pros
installs the drivers for iPod Touch without the need for iTunes
Cons
- -
Summary
I do not have iTunes on my laptop: I do not want it anywhere near my new computer. before I found this tool, it was not possible for me to have my ipod Touch recognized by my laptop so I always used my old PC to manage it.
Now, I have installed the ipod Touch drivers on my laptop via this tool and I do not have to install iTunes anymore. I have also removed iTunes from my old PC and used the Driver Installer there too. My iPod Touch works just fine now with both computers thanks to this app. -

"Good if you don't plan to install iTunes"
Version: CopyTrans Drivers Installer 1.008
Pros
made my iPhone recognized by my PC without having iTunes installed
Cons
none, as it did the job and got the iPhone drivers installed
Summary
I recently had a new win7 laptop. I did not want to contaminate it with iTunes and all the things that come with this heavy-weight program.
I had the driver installer get all the drivers needed so my iPhone is recognized on my computer and I can use the phone with other third-party software to manage it from my PC. -
"No need for iTunes to have my iPad recognized by my PC"
Version: CopyTrans Drivers Installer 1.008
Pros
Installs quick, not a resource-killer like iTunes+QuickTime, but makes my iPad work on my PC
Cons
Still need iTunes to activate your device (ok this will change with iOS 5)
Summary
I am not a big fan of iTunes and this program requires something of the sort of 100MB to install on my laptop. Before I found this small piece of software, I was obliged to install iTunes in order for my iPad to be recognized by my PC. Now I'm able to use 3rd party apps to manage my iPad entirely without iTunes!
