iPhone Explorer (Mac) - FAQs
How do I access the real root?
Accessing the real root requires your iPod Touch or iPhone to be Jailbroken. Additionally, in many cases you will also need to download afc2add from Cydia or Rock.
How do I copy files from or to the device?
Everything is drag and drop.
What the main difference between Phone Disk and iPhone Explorer?
The main differences between Phone Disk and iPhone Explorer are:
- Phone Disk mounts the iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch to the native file system of the computer. Thus, with Phone Disk you can access files on your iDevice directly through any program installed on your computer (such as Word, Power Point, Photoshop, etc...). iPhone Explorer uses its own custom interface to view and modify files.
- iPhone Explorer is planned to be maintained as 100% freeware, whereas beginning December 1, Phone Disk will cost $10 for new users.
