TouchCopy 16
TouchCopy is a utility for managing music files from iOS devices and iPods on a Mac. It allows users to transfer, back up, and recover music, playlists, and other media from connected iPhones, iPads, and iPod devices to their Mac, circumventing iTunes' restrictions on copying purchased or synced content off the device. The app was particularly valued by users with large iPod Classic collections and those managing multiple devices or archival backups of their music libraries.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWide Angle Software, the developer of TouchCopy 16, has not released a native Apple Silicon build, and there is no evidence of active development on this application in recent years. The search results show users discussing the app from 2020 onwards, but there is no mention of Apple Silicon support or recent updates. With Apple removing Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028), TouchCopy 16 will stop running entirely on that release unless Wide Angle Software ships a native build before then. If you still rely on this app for iPod or older iOS device management, contact the developer directly to ask about native Apple Silicon support plans. As a contingency, consider whether the Music app (included with macOS) or Apple's native iOS file transfer capabilities meet your needs for newer devices, though these do not offer the same backup and recovery features for legacy iOS devices. For users with iPod Classics, research whether your specific needs can be met by command-line tools or open-source alternatives before the September 2028 deadline.
