PodLock is a Macintosh program that works in conjunction with your iPod. With PodLock you will be able to learn more about your iPod and also perform a number of new operations.

With PodLock you can:

• Backup and restore. PodLock allows you to seamlessly backup and restore your primary iPod volume to your Macintosh drive (excluding your music files). This is especially useful if you store files for transport on your iPod.
• Optimize the data on your iPod. By using PodLock's defragment tool, your iPod's drive will run faster. This means songs will load more quickly and data can be retrieved much faster.
• Hide your important files. PodLock allows you to create an "invisible" partition. It's like having a secret drive for your data files that only you can see by entering your personal password.* If you use your iPod as an external drive to transport data, you'll want this protection in case you should ever lose your iPod.
• Manage pictures and voice recordings. PodLock gives you an easy and convenient way to access other types of data on your iPod.
• Learn Technical Details about your iPod. Find out when and where your iPod was manufactured, the current version of the iPod system software as well as other important technical information.
• PodLock's secret partition only prevents casual observers from gaining access to your iPod data. For truly secure data protection, you should also use the file encryption features of FileVault which is included with the Mac OS X operating system.
