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

I read that OS X Mavericks will no longer allow me to use iTunes to sync my iPhone to a local system but makes iCloud mandatory? Is that correct?


iCloud is not a valid option for me since I have no control about my data there, I need to keep all my data (contacts, calendar...) on a system under my control and so far iTunes allowed me to do that which was one of the reasons I didn't even consider Android or Windows Phone.

OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5)

You say this over and over ... and I do appreciate the notion ... if applied equally to everybody.


Why don't you say the same to those in multiple dots camp who deny others this very right?

If you don't like it, GO AWAY.


To be fair … some of the worst "go away" replies I've seen were reported and deleted.

Good morning all. So, what's happening? Is this issue fixed with three more pages and...........oh. Wow, who let the kids in?


This is fun, isn't it? Solving the issue for when Apple arrive and........oh they don't come here? Maybe they are running scared of Florian's lawsuit. He's more powerful than Samsung Co.!!!!!!


Anyhow it's breakfast time here


Catch ya later


Thanks for the giggle

You may not get this if you are no longer following this thread, but I have started an alternative "How to" discussion (linked upthread) looking for a free open source (wifi) solution that keeps data within the user's own devices. I've tried MAMP with ownCloud, but hit an issue with ownCloud not allowing Calendars to be deleted. Next up is to try MAMP with Baikal. If you've any know how to offer, I'd be grateful for any help.

Regards James
