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

In the past 18 months in our family we have bought 1 mac desktop, 2 laptops and 2 ipads. We may not be paying annual sums direct, but this is a pretty large investment!

What's your point?

Hey Brains, sync is back. Move away from page 1.

Thanks! It wasn't last night. Is there a further update?

OK - I think I have found it. Because the headline was to give RAW capability for digital cameras, I did not read the small print. Thanks for your help.

?

Did you update to 10.9.3, or did you do something else

Local iOS sync ist back. Great, thanks Apple!

But wait, am I the only one who misses local-bookmarks-syncing for Safari?

I'm sure you'll have company in this thread if you wait a while.

As long as we're going to use this thread to continue whining and complaining about features that were removed from Mac OS, I WANT HYPERCARD BACK! Wha!

What gave them the right to remove hypercard?

What about the floppy disk, that's still viable, now I have to buy an external drive

Yes, I'm happy that USB syncing of Contacts is back, but I don't think it's working properly on my phone.  iPhone 3GS-ios6 - fully updated)

When I choose "Sync Contacts" and "All Contacts", it appears that some contacts have been synced, but others have not. 

The problem is that in the period that iTunes / Mavericks lost the ability to USB sync, I added or modified contacts on the phone AND my iMac Contacts seperately.

For example, I added Joe Jones to my iMac Contacts, ran a Sync in itunes, but Joe Jones doesn't show up on the phone.  However I modified someones contact information on the phone and it was updated on the iMac. 

And I can't erase the phone contacts and start over because I don't want to loose newly entered contacts.

This seems to go against the logic of  what "sync" means?  Am I doing something wrong? 

Thanks

On your Mac, tell me which account the new contact was entered in. Check under groups.

hmmm.... I don't think I understand your suggestion / request.  I haven't changed accounts in the period of time that USB syncing was absent.

Thanks for your help!

OK, good luck.
