WALTR 2 requires a computer with:

• macOS: Mavericks 10.9 & higher
• Windows: 7 or higher



Devices that WALTR 2 recognizes:

• iPad & iPhone: all devices running on iOS 5 & higher, iPadOS
• iPod: every non-iOS iPod (Nano, Shuffle, Mini, Classic) + iPod touch (iOS 5 + above)

WALTR 2 is the second major iteration of the famous WALTR Original. There are some crucial differences between the two major versions. Unlike the original application, WALTR 2:

1. Supports Wi-Fi transfers;
2. Seamlessly works with all Apple iPods ever released;
3. Automatically pulls proper metadata & cover art from the web;
4. Supports PDF & ePub documents.

This table sums everything up:

There’s certain confusion over how WALTR 2 differs from AirDrop. The truth is – they are complete opposites. They have different purposes, work on different operational systems, support different folders and files. This article gives you a breakdown of all their vital disparities.

All imported media go straight into your pre-installed apps that are developed by Apple.

• If you transfer a video file, it will land into the pre-installed Videos app/Apple TV app.
• If you drop a song – it can be played back directly from the default Music app.
• If it is an EPUB or a PDF file – it will go straight to your iBooks app.
• As for ringtones, they all appear in Settings>Sounds>Ringtone.

There is no quality loss because we do not compress the files (unless you enable it in Preferences). For instance, if you drop FLAC files into WALTR, they will be transcoded to ALAC (Apple Lossless) format, keeping all of its sound specifics

Here’s the snapshot of the file before and after it was transferred:

In the current release WALTR 2 does not support playlists. If you drop multiple tracks into WALTR, they will be sorted by album. However, you can create smart playlists in iTunes, for instance, if you want to add all newly transferred songs to ‘Recently added’ playlist.

Subtitles in formats .srt and .ass are fully supported in WALTR 2. Here’s what you need to do:

1. Name your movie & subtitle file identically (e.g. MyMovie.mkv & MyMovie.srt)
2. Drag your subtitle file along with your video into WALTR 2
3. Enable subtitles support on your iPhone or iPad before the playback. For this go to ’Settings’ > ’Accessibility’ > ‘Subtitles & Captioning’
4. Play your video!

WALTR 2 seamlessly supports Wi-Fi Connectivity, but first make sure that your iOS device and computer are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. Afterward, follow the steps below:

1. Connect your iOS gadget to your computer via cable. On the bottom right corner, click on the “settings wheel” and enable the box “Enable Wi-Fi connectivity”.
2. After that, please, re-launch Waltr 2 -> unlock the screen on your device and wait.

1. Make sure that:

   • your iOS device starts charging after you plugged it in.
   • you have the latest iTunes version installed (download the latest version here). Skip this step if you are running on macOS Catalina.
   • your iTunes library/Finder recognizes your device

2. If yes, reboot both your DEVICE and the computer, reconnect the device one more time, tap ‘trust’ and wait a bit. 
WALTR should recognize your device as soon as you connect it to your Mac.

If the issue persists:

1. Uninstall WALTR 2 completely using free AppCleaner app.
2. After that, download and install WALTR 2.
3. Check if the app recognizes your device. In case if it doesn’t, reach out to our genius support team.

Sometimes WALTR cannot locate the proper cover arts or metadata. In such cases, some troubleshooting is required.

Step 1. Check if the title of your movie/music album is correctly spelled.

WALTR grabs metadata & cover art from websites like IMDB. Therefore, you will need an official title of the movie or a music album to find a match.

If it’s TV series, we suggest using the following format: “TV_Show_Name”.S01E01” For example: Sherlock.S01E01.mkv

In this case, WALTR 2 will quickly locate the needed metadata on the Internet.

Sometimes this may happen because your device is not yet paired correctly with that Mac.

1. Connect your iPhone/iPad/iPod to your Mac via USB cable.
2. Open iTunes (or Finder) & make sure your device is set up properly.
3. On your iPhone/iPad/iPod tap “Trust”.

If the issue persists:

1. Uninstall WALTR 2 completely using free AppCleaner app.
2. After that, download and install WALTR 2.
3. Check if the app recognizes your device. In case it doesn’t, reach out to our genius support team.

This situation might happen if you have ‘Automatic Sync’ enabled inside iTunes/Finder. The truth is – iTunes overrides all ’foreign’ content (created or transferred by third party apps like WALTR) from your device. There’s a simple workaround to fix this:

1. Please connect your device to your computer.
2. Open up iTunes > Device Summary > Options.
3. Make sure that Automatic Sync is turned off for your device. [See screenshot below]

This issue occurs only on newer devices released in 2018 or later.

Certain AVI or MKV are using video codec, which is not supported by Apple iPhone Xs/Xr and above.You will see the following message “A problem has occurred loading this content”.

Our development team is working hard on the solution, which will be released in the future.

WALTR 2 does not recognize, transfer or support images within the current release.

Here’s a little back story behind this:

Images support was in our plans from day one. However, because of iOS restrictions, pictures imported by 3rd parties cannot be removed straight from your iOS devices. This meant that we would need to create additional parts of UI that will help you delete images (which contradicts ultimately with the idea of minimalistic UI with no buttons). Therefore we decided to postpone this feature for the next releases.

Just like you – we are pretty bummed by having to install additional iTunes drivers. But there’s no avoiding it:

Windows computers do not belong to Apple’s ecosystem. This means – that any Windows app that wants to access your iPhone (notwithstanding the model) needs to use Apple Mobile Support drivers. They are usually installed on your computer in the same pack with iTunes. Naturally, WALTR 2 for Windows has to use these iTunes drivers as well. This is simply the nature of the beast.

Because WALTR relies on iTunes drivers, you will need to update your iTunes to the latest version & delete outdated drivers. This will ensure that WALTR works properly with all the 2018’s + Apple devices. Basically, you will need to follow these instructions.

1. If you want to uninstall WALTR 2 on a Mac computer:

• You may delete the app by dragging .app bundle into the trash. Despite this, some leftover files will still remain on your system. In this case, download the free AppCleaner app and remove WALTR 2 completely.

1. If you want to uninstall WALTR 2 on a Windows computer:

• Open ‘Programs and Features’ by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, clicking Programs, and then clicking Programs and Features.
• Select WALTR 2, and then click Uninstall.

We always strive to make WALTR brilliant. If you decided to remove WALTR because of a problem, let us know your reasons. All your feedback, good or bad, is highly appreciated!
