How to locally sync an iPhone with OS X Mavericks? iCloud is NOT an option.

First time I have felt the need to post on here.

Removing the option to sync over USB and forcing iCloud is completely unacceptable.

Im hoping Apple will come to there senses and reinstate this essential software.

I have used the customer feedback form and signed the petition.

I heard Obama quit using mac because he is not allowed to upload his personal information online.

Mr Woodmeister50

are you an Apple emloyee ?

do you aggree that the solution with ICloud is completely unsecured for our personnal data ?

the non perfect secured solution with USB was OK for a great majority of Apple IPhone user

i hope Aplle will understand the need of their clients

AGAIN I PROTEST AGAINST NSA/APPLE FORCED DATA GATHERING VIA ICLOUD!!!!!

GIVE LOCAL SYNC BACK TIMMI COOKI

Apple declared that tehy do what they want as long as no sufficient numbers of users complain...

who is protesting against this also? Who is a stupid lemming?

Regards, Florian

Seriously? That's one of the most idiotic accusations I've ever heard.

You need professional help.

Apple propose a solution ...

Apple doesn't participate here. The solution has been given multiple times.

Tim, Pete, Wood. I read this whole thread and despaired: I admire your patience, but also have to come to the conclusion that they have a longer unpatience even. Even the best privacy proposal of Wood is not good enough...😁

I think someone who forces customers to give personal data in the cloud need professional help and not me!

your post "Apple doesn't participate here. The solution has been given multiple times." hey great: tehre is the solution... give us your data in icloud or smash your 500 US$ iphone in the trash and take another phone.

this is not a solution this is blackmail!

inacceptable!

apple can make the icloud junk with those customers who want to do this. i dont want ist and there is no reason for deleting a software option like the local sync but business reasons to hostage customers.

beside this the usa law allows data gathering like a dictatorship. we had this in germany once. thank you, i dont want that.

hi patrick.fr...

what solution has apple.

i had an online chat with support today. i asked them to eitehr set my mac back to mountain lion or give me the money to buy a samsung galaxy.

they refused both and said there maybe a change back, if other are also complaining. if not p**** of guy,..

that is apple ...thank you!

my message was cut off

the only solution they propose is at the end of their message

the facts is simple:

if you are using MacOS 10.9 and itunes 11.1.3 which are the latest, then you CANNOT sync your iphone (in my case an iphone 5 with lateste iOS version) anymore.

Every other information is wrong and misleading.

there are persons in every discussion forum that obviously try to calm down this complaint by giving wrong informations and trying to defend this stupid apple business task.

in this form it is KiltedTim in another forum

it is Ikrupp.

Apple should accept that this measure was wrong and restore the previous function or accept that professional users with a certain demand on security do not use iphones anymore.

i think there will remain enough teenagers with raging hormones that still keep to iphone. The question is whether tim cook wants only those...

I think Apple wants only these simple minded teenagers because they can be programmed to be the perfect consumers: They have next to no technical knowledge, they don't question what Apple does and they are willing to spend money for "good design"...

I found out only recently, by accident, the same i.e. unable to sync my iPhone and iPad with iTunes. Thought something was wrong with the devices.

The found out in the forums, it was designed into Mavericks.

Many of us have our valid reasons why we do not want to store data in iCloud.

I feel very let down, maybe betrayed is a bit strong, that Apple is forcing us to use a feature that we are uncomfortable with or not keen to use.

It wa not announced prior to Mavericks' release.

I hope Tim Cook is listening and do the right and honorable thing viz to allow those of us who do not want iCloud to sync our Contacts, Calenders, Notes etc to do so with our local computers.

I'm sure it can be done. Only thing is whether Apple wants to make the change.

Very, very disappointed and let down !

Hey, Tim Cook, are you listening or don't you care !

And, please everyone, do not get distracted or side tracked in this discussion and please stay civil.

Thank you.

I agree with you totally about Apple being wrong and should restore the previous function.

I also hope that they walk the talk about giving their customers a good experience !!!!
