Has Apple reverted back to allowing calendar and contacts syncing in iTunes for PCs?

Previously, we were told iTunes syncing for calendars and contacts was going away (except for the Cloud, which I won't use). Is it back?

Hello AnnLD,


You can still use iTunes on a PC to sync contacts and calendars to your iPhone, iPad or iPod. You'll find those options under the Info entry in the sidebar. The related article above also outlines that process: Use iTunes to sync your iPhone, iPad, or iPod with your computer - Apple Support


If you aren't seeing the option to sync those items, make sure those particular items are disabled in the iCloud settings for your device, and that iTunes is all up to date on your PC: Update iTunes on PC - Apple Support


Hopefully that addresses your inquiry.


Take care.

See If you see an alert in iTunes that says syncing contacts and calendars has been deprecated - Apple Support and this thread: sync calendar/contacts with iCloud versus… - Apple Community. As far as I am aware this feature has remained available since the first warning of its imminent demise. There is no knowing if or when Apple will finally throw the switch.
