Hey? do you have a Mac? and you love it but you hate that there is no 3uTools application for it? Don't worry I felt the same, but now you are at the right place. In this post I will show you two ways to use 3uTools on your macOS without having to install BootCamp Windows.

How to use 3uTools on MacOS?
There are two ways to use 3uTools on macOS:
- Using a complete copy of 3uTools available for macOS.
- Using VirtualBox.
1. Using 3uTools Alternative:
3uTools is a must have application for many iOS users, but we are not able to have an official application for it on macOS. Thankfully, there is an alternative app, named as i4Tools, which is a complete copy of 3uTools but in Chinese language. I have been looking for a way to change the language of this app, but unfortunately I couldn't find a way to do that. (If you are a developer and can help me in doing this, hit me up on my Twitter account)
Now, lets start the download process:
First of all let's go ahead and download the i4tools.dmg file! Go to the link given below in order to download the DMG file:
Once you have the file downloaded, open the file. After that you will see the i4tools.pkg file. click on it, then it will open the package installer to show you the necessary steps to install the i4tools application one your Mac!
If you see the error that the file has been downloaded from internet and is from an unidentified developer, then:
Open system preferences, then go to security and privacy. In the general tab, you will see the button to allow opening the i4tools.pkg file!
Once the installation finishes, the application will open automatically. Then you can start using it for doing some daily iPhone tasks with so much ease. It is really easy-to-use for Chinese users (haha) but if you are not Chinese, then you can use google translate to use the app.
I have also made a video tutorial on this, you can watch it for more assistance. If no assistance is needed, then I would really appreciate if you can take a moment to like the video and subscribe to my YouTube channel :)
Now lets talk about the second method, which is a little complicated as compared to the first one, but with this method you will get to use 3uTools official application in English language.
2- Using VirutalBox:
In this method, you will need to install a Windows Virtual machine, then you can use 3uTools.
Required things:
- A MacBook running macOS version which is compatible with VirtualBox.
- Windows ISO file.
- Create a Windows Virtual machine (Click here for the tutorial)
- Download the 3uTools.exe file (Download)
- Install the software.
- Then use the video given below to allow your iPhone to connect to the virtual machine!
