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

I think this is the wrong way and customers must deal with this different.

Apple products are not a drug. I do not essentially need them.

I have to decide whre i spend my money.

finding alterntives, backdoors or even jailbreaks again brings us where this iphone hype began.

I am the customer. It cannot be that the server (Apple) dictatesy what I should do.

If Apple narrows the customer range to those favourinf cloud computing, fine. I am out.

I deal now with Apple Germany as distributor with my lawyers to get my money back and then switch to anotehr phone with local sync.

the best way is for eevrybody to spread the information about this change in function and make people not to buy iphones. only then Apple will change its policy...

What if the majority WANT iCloud?

Fine. I dont want you to live without icloud.... But leave me my local sync.

What is the logic behind forcing people to do icloud.

Hey petermac87, are you the next shift of apple clerks managing the forum for the company and trying to male people sending their data apple?

The previous guy tried to insist that lical sync still works. I see that we are a step further. Denying if over...

What you post here florian, can be and may be used against you in a Court Of Law.

It's at least the second time it's been invoked in this thread (by a different person the first time).

I know, Mr Godwin must be chuckling.

All the childishness aside, many of us need to get back the option to locally sync contacts. iClould is fine and handy, but, I for one am not ready to relinquish my rolodex to a system I'm not 100% sure about, in terms of data integrity and security.

Let's also remember that the "data conflict resolution" process is a blackbox with iCloud.

At present you can 1. sendback to Apple

2. Revert to you previous OSX from the backup you made before installing Maverick

3, Wait and hope

Requesting an old feature be reimplemented here, will not get to the appropriate people.

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

haha, that exactly explains that Meg is just picking someone who he doesn't like and telling his "term of service" logic. Sadly not for the constructive discussion but his self-satisfaction. Yea sadly.😟

Just to add to what Pete said, you can,

2. Revert to you previous OSX from the backup you made before installing Maverick

3. Wait and hope

4. Download OSX server

5. Buy a windows computer to locally sync with your iphone because they still can do that

6. Get rid of your iphone/ipad and get an equally non-syncable android smartphone/tablet

Everyone should become developers if you're into option #4.

It's free OSX server time for developers apparently...

hello

you could also send messages to Apple support every Apple send you a mail

thats wat i done every time they contact me to purchase Apple

exemple :

re bonjour

je viens de recevoir un mail de votre part avec "Notre sélection de cadeaux pour Noël."

le meilleur cadeau que vous puissiez me faire serait de remettre la fonctionnalité de synchronisation USB ou Wifi sans passer par ICloud pour mon agenda et mes contacts Iphone

en attendant je vais aller faire mes courses de Noël ailleurs que chez vous

in bad english

hello

i received your mail to buy Aplle on line for Chrismas

the best gift you can give me will be to offer the possibility to syncronise with USB or Wifi without OCloud for my agnda and contact on Iphone

since i have not this posisbility i am going to buy my Chrimas gifts elsewhere

OMG. So many trolls out there. Just back to the technical part and away from bashing each other ...

I got a question:

I am running a OS X Server for syncing the cal and cards. Makes no sense just for that but it is the only way helping me keep working without using the cloud. Doens´t matter why I don´t want to use it - it´s my decision.

Knows anybody the way to import my old calendars (about 10) to the server like they are? all things from the old into a new on the server? I don´t have time to playing around, maybe it is simple...

Please just technical and problemsolving answers. thanks!

Export each of your calendars as a .ics file.

Under 'All OS X server' create a calendar to match each of your original calendar names and then import the corresponding .ics file into each.

Chris.
