I'd like not to wait, so what's a good alternative to iPhone Explorer?



I just tried DiskAid from DigiDNA on my G5 iMac w/ 10.5.8.  It works
much better than iPhone Explorer (hich doesn't work for me).  Luckily,
I got free registration from DigiDNA because of .edu email address.
Even with a paid regisration (14d free trial), I recommend DiskAid.


Thanks, but I probably should have specified that I use a Wintel platform
(as in DLLs  ;-).

Michael, Wintel - tsk, tsk ;-)
DiskAid also comes for Wintel AFAIK.  But I access Best of FTA through
the 'root' directory which requires a jailbreak.  I don't know if you
can access the BoFTA.app directory on an regular ipad.  The documents
directory is probably accessible though.  Try the 14d free trial.


I'll look for DiskAid.

iPhone Explorer doesn't allow me to access the "apps" directory,
and my understanding was that the BofFTA Documents directory was
nested inside the BoFTA app directory.

In any case, I tried opening everything I could, and could only
see photos and .pdf's in iBooks--no other app data.
