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

Please provide relevant citations of these lawsuits. Specifically those targeting Apple's iCloud service since that's what's at issue here.

Find them yourself... you're the one with enough time on your hands to submit countless useless posts here.  I've got a business to run, and Apple is simply becoming less and less of a help in doing that. 

Icloud is free and until when ? Or until what capacity of data in it ?

You probably missed something on other forums : 

"If you stop using iCloud for Calendars & Reminders, calendars and reminders stored in iCloud will be removed from this Mac. Your calendars and reminders will still be available on other devices using iCloud."

You right having read this:

"If you stop using iCloud for Calendars & Reminders, calendars and reminders stored in iCloud will be removed from this Mac. Your calendars and reminders will still be available on other devices using iCloud."

I still do think solution would be very very easy to manage for APPLE

Simply put sync option back to any future /soon/ upgrade of Mavericks and all your their customer are happy back not complainig anymore.

Basically sync was one of the best benefit against their competition as being EXCELLENTLY working and one of main reasons why changed to become a BIG user of APPLE product and SOFTWARE.

3 MAC pro's, 2 MAcAir's, 6 Ihones incl 5S already, 2 Ipads, APPLE TV and quite a Itunes store products.

Until this there was no complaint at all but now not happy with missing sync and also lost chance to remove .ics meetings opened in Iphones.  Any reason why ????

Just one more unsupported claim then?

So many of those lately.

I do not care about NSA just want to have my comfort using the APPLE devices simple form as was ever before and not to loose anything if someone somewhere and anytime decides to ask fees for keeping data and if you do not agree you might loose all your data.

This seems like "slavery"

So simple

Slavery?

Its very hard to take you seriously, do you actually know what 'slavery' is?

Unfortunately does not work

For you.

We have been trapped

its a catch 22

very unhappy as well

Solution would be so simple for APPLE just to put it back to Mavericks update but.........

MAybe they want all of us to go back to MIcrosoft  ?

NOt a best option but......

When you go back to MS which program will you use to manually sync Outlook to your phone?

320 million people have chosen to use iCloud. A few have not. Who do you reckon will be catered for first? You can go back to any other system of your choice. Or you can set up a server as Barney has posted working instructions for.

Pete

Tim have to be realistic

I would never do so if noticed before this might or will happen

You're making less sense with every post. I suggest you stop. You've already equated iCloud with "slavery". The next logical step is for you to invoke the Nazis.... at which point you move from being a troll to a laughing stock.
