Q: 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)

    I think that your word is not to be trusted, and I know that you have been attempting to gain access to at least one posters personal address,

     

    what else do I need to know?

    you are not here to tell me what or not what not to do

    you are not yet Mc Carthy

    and i hope you have not any power to remove a post like this one

    Leaving aside the fact that your grasp of American history is flawed, the only people who have the ability to remove posts are the Hosts. They do so when the TOU have been violated.

     

     

    more interresting, if you reflect a little bit more, i think it's better for Apple that this discussion take place on this thread rather than a public place

    It doesn't matter when you or I think is better. This is Apple's forum and Apple's rules.

    hi Csound1, Petermac87, Meg St_Clair, ...

     

    very pleased to see you again and again and again ... in this post and to see that your are very supportive between you.

     

    when i ask for petermac87 adress in order to send him posters, in french we call that "second degré"

     

    i try to explain it  for you :

    "it means not that I don't really want his adress, i don't really want to spend my money to by posters and send them to him ...and to waste mi time to do it"

    in the same way, when Petermac87 porpose to Feinmeister to "And you can put posters up around the streets." is his not serious

    it's means that I think it is is not very helpfull in a technical thread when Petermac87 make fun of Feinmeister even though he call to order anyone who does not follow his interpretation of this thread rules"

     

    be sure i have nothing to do wih your adress, or Petermac87 adress or other anybody adress in this post...

     

    And when you write that THE technical solution has been found and thus the discussion is over you are very optimist

    The only technical solution for both ease of use, ease of implementation would be an app who allow such a stupid guy like me to sync with wifi or usb, without any cloud, without any network

    and without technical skills

     

    have a good day

    The choices are simple, but actually performing them is not…

     

     

    *It's abundantly clear this is not an option.

     

    Reverting seems like an obvious choice when you consider Eltima is planning to release syncing software in 'winter'. Give them 6 months to fix bugs then consider an upgrade. Maybe other apps will be released too.

    If it's a new Mac return it if it is 'unfit for purpose' (local product laws will apply).

    Would you please stop asking for my address. Your posts have already been edited because of this. I will not be providing any personal details to you and your constant references are nothing short of stalking,  let alone being against the Terms Of Use. If you can't stay to the topic and offer positive comments then perhaps take your own advice and leave. Otherwise follow suggestions here that others have been good enough to provide.

     

    Cheers

    Oh my!!! It's got 2500 words. I'm so terrified.

    It's even got words like "and," "or," and "but," imagine that.

    They also use "the," "a," "an," and even "click." Too horrible to even think about.

    Dear Barney-15E, I found the word 'click' confusing and hard to comprehend and came to an abrupt halt in setting up my Baïkal server at that point. I returned to the start of the article and removed all words with less than six letters. My terminal commands will now no longer work. Why did Apple do this to me? Can you please completely rewrite you instructions in less than 500 words and send it to me? Thank you. I think patrick.fr has my address.

     

    Cheers

    If the other choices are too complex and apple doesn't address the issue (which they probably won't), you can try this:

     

     

    Just get one with a micro sd (which most have) and you can manually sync everything to your hearts content.

    Yes, and most unhelpful for those who come to the Apple Users Forums to troubleshoot their APPLE products. Anybody with half a brain knows you can use alternate hardware, and most also know they need to fork out big dollars again for another mobile device.

     

    So this option is not over complicated, just expensive.

     

    Cheers

    Dear Apple,

     

    I will never upload my contacts and calendars to any else's servers, excuse me "cloud". Attempting to force all your users to do so is unacceptable. Please restore local sync functions for iOS and OS X.

     

    This is outrageous behavior that I expect from Facebook and Google, not a company that I hand hard-earned money over to for hardware.

    Dear Voline,

     

    Apple doesn't require you to use their cloud or any other.
