"Don't make the same MISTAKE, and use SENUTI instead"
Version: Phone to Mac 3.0
Pros
Well, this has certainly tested my patience against my will if you consider that a pro.
Cons
This is taking DAYS to transfer my songs. I have 13,000 songs on my iPod, and three days later with continuous transferring through the day and night, it has only transferred 9,500 songs. ***? It has now slowed to a rate of transferring 1 song p min!
Summary
I purchased a new MacBook Pro with a fresh hard drive. The first thing I did was download pod to mac on Monday. Today is late Wednesday evening and the songs are STILL TRANSFERRING! I have 13,000 songs on my iPod, and it transferred 9,500. I don't even want to think of the difficulties it will have with my podcasts. I seriously don't understand what is taking so long. This has inconvenienced me in so many ways.

"Deleted all files on my iPod - don't use this!"
Version: Phone to Mac 4.1.1.3
Pros
Would have been nice if it worked.
Cons
It just didn't work for me - instead, it ruined my iPod.
Summary
I had all files on my iPod before connecting with Pod to PC. It showed my files, I tried to download them. Failed. Then I got a really annoying "buy full version" popup and couldn't close the app in any way. So I had to shut it down. After that, my iPod had no more tracks on it.
In other words: Instead of recovering my MP3s, using this software deleted them from my iPod. I'm not amused. -

"Doesn't work"
Version: Phone to Mac 3.303
Pros
Downloads music and video from your ipod
Cons
Customer service; Doesn't work for pictures
Summary
It's supposed to take pictures from your pod to your mac, but it didn't work for me. I even paid for the full version. Don't expect any help if it doesn't work for you - no response.

"Don't bother unless you want to buy."
Version: Phone to Mac 3.303
Pros
Looks like it will do the job quite well.
Cons
Only allows 10 song transfer with free try. Then asks for $20 and quits if you don't buy.
Summary
I have only needed this type of software only once before. I don't think its worth $20 to me if I only use it 2 times in five years. I'm sure there is something free somewhere out there, there always is.

"Unnecessary!"

Pros
None at all

Summary
All you need to do to transfer your music and apps etc. from your ipod to itunes 9 is right click on your ipod in the sidebar and click "Transfer Purchases" or click on your ipod in the sidebar and go to File, Transfer Purchases from"..." Simple!

"are you kidding me?"
Version: Phone to Mac 3.061
Pros
It copies my ipod to itunes
Cons
Makes you relaunch. can't transfer files all at once, I have to highlight about 5 and then it will transfer them. Also, it doesn't copy the artist name or album. I have to add this information to my itunes myself which takes tons of time.
Summary
I would not recommend this product to anyone unless they want a long drawn out process
