Softpedia Editor's Review for TransMac
|
A Windows program that can copy files to and from Macintosh disks
Written by Bogdan Popa on January 13th, 2012
TransMac is a powerful Windows software solution that lets you copy any type of file to and from Mac OS X-formatted disks which can't be accessed from Microsoft's operating system.
Thanks to a very clean and easy to navigate interface, TransMac is supposed to allow users transfer files to and from HFS (Mac OS Standard) and HFS+/HFSX (Mac OS Extended and case sensitive) disks.
The application automatically detects the Macintosh disks, regardless if they are regular hard drives, CDs, DVDs or removable drives. Of course, it allows users perform a number of actions, including reading and writing data, but also copy, rename and delete files and folder just like on a regular disk.
Additionally, TransMac comes with dedicated features to allow users format any disk to be later accessed from Mac OS X, but also burn disk images in various formats, including DMG, IMG and ISO.
Last but not least, it sports a comprehensive search tool to look for virtually any type of file, but also for extensions and other type of data that may be stored on the Macintosh hard disks.
There are three different settings menus, “General”, “PC” and “Mac”, so you can even configure the way you access Mac-formatted disks. For example, TransMac supports read only access but, in case you wish to benefit from all its features, you need to enable read/write access.
TransMac works flawlessly on any Windows workstation and it doesn't affect computer performance at all, leaving just a minimal footprint on hardware resources. Windows 7 users however need administrator privileges to enable all features of the app.
This is one of the most effective ways to control your Macintosh hard disks from a Windows workstation and thanks to its straightforward interface and a comprehensive help file, it can be safely used by all types of users.
